Hey folks!

Quick update. Currently pounding through Dark Nest and Betrayal (yes, that Betrayal) in order to get Vader's Legacy as up to date as possible. Seems that they want this one early, so deadline is looming.

Take care,
Abel

Awhile back I started a thread trying to get more info on the origin of Vader's suit. It's appearance out-of-the-blue in Ep. III was a little disappointing. There doesn't seem to be much info tying it in with the rest of the EU. Maybe your Vader's Legacy article would be a place to tie it in a little better with the rest of the Star Wars universe...

...or it would be a great excuse for still another Abel/Joe collaboration praying

Abel, there's a Halagad icon now. Figured I'd give you the heads up...

I'd like to know exactly why Vader has exposed buttons on his suit.

No one's ever explained that satisfactorily to me.

Probably because anything smaller or more complex would be difficult to manipulate with his gloves...

I thought that Vader's exposed buttons were of no consequence, because there was a "hold" button, that had to be released in order for any of the others to work. I'm not sure about this, but I think the NEGTWT had some info on this, though it isin't the most accurate source.

The Vader Guide and Dark Lord described that function as well.

Then why was Tremayne able to push the button?

Probably cause its an early version of the suit. Vader probably moded it after that little incident. wink

Couldn't he use the Force? Or even a cybernetic implant, as I think Dark Lord described him as having?

Wouldn't implanting a cybernetic neural interface or a voice activated control system do just as well?

Let us not forget that Star Wars is a space opera with the trappings of a 1930's movie serial. Some things are high tech, others decidedly not.

Hey folks,

I've submitted the Vader's Legacy manuscript to my editor. I think it came out nicely, and there were even a few surprises for me that came out in the writing, which is always really cool. Lots of nice challenges in this piece, and it was an absolute pleasure to come full circle by getting to write about Lumiya again, which I did for the Emperor's Pawns. It was really interesting to bridge that gap between how I left her off in that first piece I did, never expecting her to see the light of day again in the EU, and what I know about her from upcoming literature.

Take care,
Abel

"Upcoming literature." Oh, they'll have a field day with this. She's the spitting image of him now.

Very well. Get the bibs ready.

Is his weird Coruscant cottage talked out? The one with the moving walls? tongue

I thought Luke built it with the escher design...

It will be a Legacy of the Force tie-in, highlighting the legacy Darth Vader left behind after his death, including species he enslaved, his dark side strongholds, and his various dark side students.

I don't know if I'm going to like Legacy if it's all about Vader's legacy and nothing about you know? Anakin Skywalker's. We had years of post-ROTJ Bantam era Vader hating by the galaxy and Luke managed to survive that. Now I know, DN tore that to hell and sunder but I was actually having a little hope for Legacy...
