Some interesting stuff from the Official Site Forums:

That's great news about the Invincible cover Sue but what is the status of the next book contract with Del Rey? Any chance of an announcement this month?
I wish I could make an announcement. It's very frustrating, and totally out of my hands. I will tell you that a group of us met with a group of them last week and talked about the direction we plan to go in, and what kind(s) of series(s) we'd like to see, as well as potential authors, etc., : the first brainstorming meeting. It went very well and I'm encouraged and excited about the possibilities. Still, though, no anthology in sight. Sorry about that.

Sue, in the future series of books will we see more of skywalkers/solo post loft or will there be more books on the s/w galaxy of old like the old republic
We're going for a good mix of eras. Some post LOFT, some Old Republic.....
Eeusu Estornii posted:
Will we get any books dealing with Darth Revan, Malak, and the like from the KOTOR-era?
It's too soon to get this specific. We discuss general eras, then authors, and if we can get an author who has a passion for something in the era, then we go from there and nail down the specifics. So there's really nothing more I can add at this time.
Whether it be a series, a trilogy, or a standalone, it seems inevitable that we're going to get something post-LOTF. It's also nice to know that negotiations are coming along.

Post LOTF?

Man! I just hope she was sincere in saying there'd still be emphasis on other eras, because I'm reaching wit's end with the current era!

Well hold on, what with Luke being single again they may be planning a "Luke Skywalker: Bachelor" type series where he gets a loft apartment downtown and has to readjust to the dating scene.

Hopefully its really post-LOTF, then we can get "The Conquests of Roan Fel The Great."

i hope that post LOTF involves the passing of the torch.
i've been on board from the HtE trilogy, and i've loved the characters. but at some point, we really need to move into the new era. i would love to see a subdued power struggle between;
Kyp - maybe the obvious replacement
Jaina - probably the best suited for the job, assuming the galaxy is still at war
Ben - heir to the Skywalker legacy, but totally unwilling
...to see who fills the vacuum left by the death of Luke Skywalker. no one wants to face it, but if told well, could be a great story.

With Jaina on the cover of Invincible, maybe she can assume the title of Sword of the Jedi, and go on to stab people with it in the next series.
Also, Baron Fel and the Empire of the Hand!
As for Old Republic --- maybe there's a chance that they'll be taking that idea for a 9-book series set in the Old Republic off the shelf --- you know, the one that ended up becoming Legacy of the Force? New Sith Wars, anyone?

You don't have to read any of the post-LOTF books if you don't want to. Anyways, none of this is really new news. I really hope that we see more of Ben and more new characters brought to the forefront.
Oh yeah and one more thing: please bring back Seha Dorvald! Her and Ben had some great chemistry together. They'd be interesting together even if they never get romantically involved.

That would be nice. Then again, I've been hoping that of whatever the series of the moment was since the beginning of the NJO almost a decade ago, so I'm not holding my breath.

Post-LOTF -----------  
Old Republic---------     
The terms Old Republic and post-LOTF need a lot of clarification.
Old Republic: KOTOR, TOTJ, Bane, New Sith Wars, Phanius? Andeddu? Millenial?
post-LOTF: More Big Three (undoubtably), but Legacy is also post-LOTF...

Boo on post-loltiff. That's Dark Horse territory, dammit.
Hm, come to think of it, boo on Old Republic. That's Dark Horse territory, dammit.
I guess boo on book contracts in general.

There is a lot of territory out there. Post LOTF doesn't mean Legacy and Old Republic doesn't mean KOTOR. It could just be a continuation of the the Bainite order.
That would actually be a sweet series
Darth Bane
Darth Zannah
and so on until Darth Plagieus or Darth Sidious...
Or it could be the New Sith Wars which are relatively untouched.

I really hope they extend Del Rey..I went from a causal reader before to a power reader with Del Rey..I like the current authors ALOT. Denning, ALston have a passion for STar Wars & it shows.... Great news from Sue. Well great news about a new post LOTF series & more old republic stuff...
-IMO it's a no brainer for them to keep Del Rey based on quality. So IMO it comes down to money$$$.... I am drinking this cold Dew (on ice) celebrating...
