Star Wars Trench Warfare intrigues me. We see it in some of the Empire comics.

We see it on Hoth.

We see an extremely poor use of it on Kashyyk.

But most importantly, we see the textbook example at the end of ANH, in the Yavin system! grin

This is going to be in Insider 90, correct? If so, then people should start getting it soon... thinking

Acky, the webmaster at NJOE, already has his copy of Insider #90, and he tells me that Vader's Legacy isn't in it... sad

Wasn't there some announcement that it might be pushed back further... thinking

Sorry that we haven't kept everyone better informed about the project. Abel probably has a better idea on the status of Vader's Legacy since it's his article but as far as I know, after speaking to my editors at Insider a few weeks ago, the project is still in the schedule for an upcoming issue of the magazine. The schedule is always changing though so it's possible it could end up being published as early as #92 but don't quote me on that. It might end up being #93 or later. But cross your fingers just the same. Abel and I came up with some really cool artwork scenes for this feature that I'm anxious to illustrate happy

Well that's disappointing. Anyone know if anything good's going to be in this issue? Short stories, anything...?

Well that's a major disappointment. What's the hold up with the article?

Judging from the article on sw.com and the blog entry... nothing in this issue is really leaping out at me. Hopefully "Aliens of Episode III" has some new info. Is it written by Dan Wallace?

It sounds like on of Dan's usual articles. At least 90 has an original art cover. That's something to be thankful for...

I spoke to my editor earlier today, and yeah, it looks like another Story of General Grievous scenario.

Why the delay? It's a bit hard to say. The simple answer is that sometimes this is the way the freelance biz goes. I will say that it has helped that somne folks have voiced their opinions via official channels. So just hang in there, it'll be worth it.

Damn straight, we did. In fact, Joe was hopping up and down with excitement about 'em during San Diego comic con! I've never seen him that giddy. happy

Lots of reasons. Sometimes LFL thinks certain content should be included in an issue to be timed with the release of some product. Other times, the editor is trying to accomplish something particular for a given issue, and sometimes another piece is judged to have a wider audience appeal.

That was when it was originally delayed, of course. Now add the fact that Insider is switching gears to focus on the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, and the content of Vader's Legacy isn't directly tied into that theme.

Take care,
Abel
