I only want it if it actually confirms that Plagueis created Anakin, rather than fading out at the end with the possibility hanging there...
Also it should involve Qui-Gon learning of Force ghosting from the Shaman of the Whills.
If all it does is leave us with the same "who knows?" feeling as the films, I don't see the point.

I'd prefer it confirm that Plagueis didn't create Anakin, but rather Sidious himself.

I absolutely agree. Plus, Qui-Gon is the man.

Jacen had learned that one can meet the Universe [...] with fear, or with hatred, or with despair.
Or one can choose to meet it with love.
Jacen had chosen.
But still, he was astonished to discover that the Universe could love him back.

I have the feeling that Luceno probably wouldn't even want to take on the project if Lucas didn't allow him to answer most of these questions. There'd be no real point to just going through the motions and spinning the wheels if a few big things weren't finally going to get paid off at long last.
He talked about it at some length during the summer of 2005 in the Insider, but yeah, it depends on how deeply George is going to allow folks like Jim to drill into the continuity-wellhead. You'd think that something like Plagueis wouldn't be as much of a hugely-sensitive area for him, as opposed to, say...Yoda's origins, or something...but I suppose we'll see.

Like the openness of did Sidious create Anakin or did the Force? Rather they not answer that. There is still plenty of room to cover with a Sidious/Qui-gon novel. Sidious backstory, his relationship with his master... Qui-gon's path as a Jedi... Dooku Jedi Master stuff...
Plus, it would be interesting to see the contrast between Qui-Gon and Sidious as they both were looking into life after death all that and Qui-gon is the one who found it.

IMO that conflicts with TPM.

I took it to be Sidious -- if he wasn't just saying what Anakin wanted/needed to hear. Didn't Palps at first say Plageuos taught him the secret to create life? In either case, I believe Sidious had no intention of saving Padme because he knew it would drive Anakin further to the dark side and to him if he lost her.
IMO, they should never, ever reveal it to be one way or the other. This is my favorite area to speculate on. A really good Tales story would be cool though, as long as it stays non-canon.

Hey, remember how we all thought that Darth Bane: Rule of Two was a replacement for the Plagueis novel? Yeah, well, it turns out that we read a quote from Sue wrong...
Shelly called me late last week to propose an additional hardcover this fall. THIS fall. Yep. Del Rey figured the market could bear one more, and since the Darth Bane novel was a hit, a follow-up, written by Drew, seemed the best idea. So the untitled Feb. 09 hardcover (previously the "Plagueis" novel) has been moved up, and Drew agreed to continue Bane's story. So we're off and running.
If you read that carefully (which I definitely didn't last summer), it says that Rule of two was an additional book for the old contract, and that whatever was replacing Plagueis was being moved up. Sue said a few days ago...
Sue Rostoni posted:
Wait --- is Millennium Falcon part of the old contract? If so... did it replace something? I had thought the old contract was full before it was announced...
Yeah, the scraped Plagueis novel, if I'm remembering correctly.
So Millennium Falcon is part of the old contract. How about that?
