I take my covers off because they annoy me.

It's yellower than the Outcast cover, but it's still really close...

Luke: Still, I think I make a pretty good Luke Skywalker.
Mara: Of course you do.
Luke: So before you began impersonating Mara, what was your real hair color?
Mara: Farmboy, you're asking for a beating...

It's definitely yellow. Looks like they're going for the colors of the rainbow, eh? So far we have orange, blue, red and now yellow. Green, indigo and violet can't be far behind, plus two other colors.

Well, isn't that how normal, Jedi, force-ghosting works anyways?

I don't get the line "potentially fatal." If it's force-ghosting, you die. I don't get it.

Could it be conencted to that race in MILLENNIUM FALCON that supposedly knew the entire future and lived without old age?


Well, the main reason why it most likely isn't normal Force ghosting is because you haven't died and become one with the Force, you've just made yourself immortal by casting aside your mortal body to become a lifeless, incorporeal spirit.

I'd forgotten about the MF group... that's a good point. I'd expected them to show up in FOTJ, so that'd make sense.




But that's always my understanding of how Force-Ghosting DID work. Obi-wan and Yoda chose to disappear at that moment, they never "died." Yoda or Qui-gon even called it "eternal life." Luke prepared to "Force ghost" sometime in Bantam too. When you do die and later appear as a Force-ghost, usually your body still hangs around for the meantime (Mara, Kol, possibly Anakin Skywalker). This is the exact same thing as Force-ghosting, from the description.





As for the BACKLASH cover, is Ben Skywalker holding his mother's (also his grandfather Anakin's) old lightsaber?

And have we seen the back cover to ABYSS yet?

Still jonesing for some blatant red hair, but I really like that they've got a consistent look down for Ben - I'm almost convinced they've surrepitiously hired a model.

More of the Ben asian/skater punk model? I think I liked the animated images from LOTF better...

Some Jaina or Jag action on the back cover would be good.

Am I the only one who immediately thought that it looks like Ben's right sleeve has no arm in it?

Other than that, Loving the cover...wish he had Red hair, but it's still excellente IMO.

Perhaps...


And that DOES look like it's THE lightsaber that Ben is holding:





(Figures Ben still has no red hair)

I didn't even notice that. I hope it is. Though I have to wonder what led to Ben using it. It makes me worry for Luke in Abyss and what Mara talks to Ben about in Abyss.
