Hey. I'm taking a leaf out of 000's book and starting this thread. (thanks 000)
Since Del Rey doesn't have anything out on the book, you can post what you want the book to be about. Let the ideas run wild.

Hopefully, they'll get their act together and get the book started, but until then, well...

have fun

Though it should be noted that, unlike the Oct 08 HC, we haven't been given an indication as to when info will be made available on it.

I'm wagering that it's going to be another book in the Sith series that they're doing with Darth Bane and Darth Plagueis.

Darth anything trilogies would be great - and very much anticipated. Maybe even a few books on how Darth Bane 'consolidated' mischief the Sith Empire after the falling out over the Jedi/Sith war.

Mass extermination to make sure that in the end, there were only 2.

I'd say a Count Dooku TPM/AOYC bridge novel would be the logical extention of these Sith novels.

It will definitely be Sith.


Maybe the beginning of the Sith? With the origins of the Jedi and Republic thrown in as reference?

It kinda surprises (and confuses) me that we have info on the October 2008 hardcover, and not the February. A Dooku bridge novel would be nice though.

Maybe it will show how the original dark jedi left the jedi, and their quest to find korriban and the like

Seconded. His backstory is ripe for exploration, Legacy of the Jedi notwithstanding.

A couple months back they changed authors and the direction the novel was going to take. From what I've heard they are in talks with a new author and coming up with ideas, but LFL has a definate time they want the book to take place in. It'll probably be announced by the end of the summer, if not earlier.


With the recent resurgence of the Sith since RotS, I say it'll definatly involve them. I'm gonna lean towards a Dooku book for the moment, but leave room for possibly a Jacen novel taking place either between NJO-DN or DN-LotF.

Dooku novel? ZZZZZZZ.....
Was the guy not boring enough as supporting character so he has to get an entire novel based around him? Seriously, he is one of the worst bad guys ever in the GFFA (Waru notwithstanding). Of all the Sith in the galaxy (Kun, Qel-Droma, Revan, Malak, Traya, Addendu, etc.) you want a novel based on this stuffy old man Sith? Come on!!! What a waste of trees...

That being said, my favorite portrayl of Dooku would have to be in the ROTS novel. Great insight into what made the guy tick.

The worst would have to be in DR where he goes on for pages about how he is...well, old. Yeah I want a novel with this guy... praying noooo

Well since we have a I see a bridge novel too, but a Darth Bridge, to take us from Bane Plagueis. Then again, that was a period of hiding, so it may not be very exciting.

A Dooku novel would be great.
