	posted: Hey. I'm taking a leaf out of 000's book and starting this thread. (thanks 000) No problem. Like Quest said though I started that one because I knew that the book would be announced within the next day. My guess is a Dooku-centric TMP-AotC bridge novel like others have said. My hope is a DE lead in.

	>>Dooku novel? ZZZZZZZ.....

	I'm guessing a KOTOR-era stand alone or a Purge-era novel at this stage. This allows them to expand further into these eras in their next contract

	JaySkywalker01 posted: That being said, my favorite portrayl of Dooku would have to be in the ROTS novel. Great insight into what made the guy tick. except it requires the entire rest of the Jedi Order to be profoundly idiotic. sigh. I actually think Dooku might turn up in the other hardcover. Luceno, unlike most, seems to have some respect for Dooku as a character. I don't know about this hardcover. Rise of the Fels would be interesting

	Oh yuck, I can't see why everyone wants a Dooku bridge novel. I agree that it SEEMS logical, but he's so boring! It's pretty much impossible that it'll be the third Republic Commando book sigh, and there are only a few eras that aren't cluttered enough as is. The chances of being a DE lead-in (which sounds awesome) or spanning the years between NJO-DN-LotF are pretty much slim to none. Which leaves a proper TPM-AotC book (which would be a possible Dooku novel), the Dark Times, perhaps a Clone Wars novel, or something pre-Episode I. I'd love to see another Dark Times story, although that's probably unlikely because of the Reeves/Perry trilogy. I guess my best hope is to set it pre-Episode I. Perhaps focus on Qui-Gon? Or heck, call the novel, "The Fate Of All The Really Cool Characters Dark Horse Couldn't Kill." You could have Asajj, Aurra Sing, Kir Kanos, and Quinlan Vos all in some retirement home for characters who were beloved back in the day, and fell away into obscurity. Guest appearances by Vongerella (who never even showed up!) and Callista. Heck, as long as we find out what happened to 'em, you can be sure I'll pick it up. Basically, too many choices right now for me to settle on just one. -----signature----- If you play video games, you owe it to yourself to check out CandiedSkull http://www.candiedskull.com/forum/index.php

	I was hoping for another Old-Republic novel, but with the Plagueis novel announcement I like even more the idea of doing a TPM/AOTC bridge as a third Sith novel. The Plagueis book shows that they're not forgetting the prequel era, at least. For the record, November 2007 to November 2008 will encompass the last three LOTF books, all of Coruscant Nights, this book, and the Plagueis novel. Not too shabby a lineup. -----signature----- Great midis have little midis Swimming round inside 'em And little midis have lesser midis And so ad infinitum.

	Actually I thing 2nd Quests locic makes perfect sense regarding Dooku and sith novels coming out. Although I think Stover handled the character in the ROTS novalization as well as Luceno did in LOE. However, I loved Stewarts take on the character in the Yoda DR. -----signature----- "We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home" Edward R.

	Oh yuck, I can't see why everyone wants a Dooku bridge novel. I agree that it SEEMS logical, but he's so boring! Not at all! It would be cool to show how Dooku leaves the Jedi to become the 20th in the lost 20, how he starts the CIS, how he convinces planets/organizations to join (Geonosis, Trade Feds.), how he gets in touch with sidious and maul, how he hires Fett and Aurra Sing, how he finds Ventress, how he causes uncertainty in the senate. Dooku may sound boring at first, but how he gets all this done is sure to be interesting. -----signature----- "Those of us who don't believe in science are being attacked by forces we don't understand...like momentum, acceleration, and gravity."

	Well, we've already seen how he hires many of them. And though it's true that a lot we haven't seen, after reading ROTS and LOE I'd never want to here Dooku's arrogant-to-your-hair-follicles thoughts again So all I have to say is Dooku, may your head roll in peace.

	I'd like to see it take place before-during-after TPM, and have Sifo-Dyas involved somehow. Throw in C'baoth, Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan for good measure. And finally explain the entire backstory to the clone order! -----signature----- Take me out to the black. Tell them I ain't comin' back. Burn the land and boil the sea.
