Check out this "mysterious" review of Outcast I found on Amazon:



4 of 6 people found the following review helpful:
5.0 out of 5 stars Legacy of the Force & Fate of the Jedi are the perfect basis for the sequel trilogy!!, March 30, 2009
By Ron Corless "may the force be with you" (mississauga,ontario,canada) - See all my reviews

I really like the Fate of the Jedi series especially Outcast. I think Aaron Allston is one of the best SW authors second only to Tim Zahn,Kevin J.Anderson & Troy Denning. Although there were no space battles there were some good action scenes with the Millennium Falcon soaring over the Kessel landscape with Han,Leia,Allana and C3-PO. And It's great that Luke and Ben Skywalker are taming up for an adventure across the galaxy to learn what drove Jacen Solo to the dark side. I look forward to Omen seeing the new Sith tribe standed on a planet fro thousands of years and seeking revenge on the galaxy and Luke too and seeing Vestara too. I wonder if she'll be a future love interest for Ben. And of course I look forward to Abyss and the rest of FOTJ especailly the ninth book/finale. What will be the ultimate Fate of the Jedi now the Galactic Alliance and Daala no longer want them? I hope to see an armageddon/apoclyptic war/space battle between the New Jedi Order,New Sith tribe,Galactic Alliance,Han and Leia in the Falcon,Luke and Ben Skywalker,Jaina,Wedge Antilles and Rogue Sqaudron and the Mandalorians in the ninth FOTJ hardcover by Troy Denning possibly due March 29,2011.

And I hope to see some spectacular space battles in future FOTJ novels and after FOTJ I hope there will be a follow up series or some standalones where Allana Solo(Han and Leia's grandaughter)trains to become a Jedi and/or starpilot under either Ben Skywalker,Jaina Solo or Luke,Han and Leia. I hope that Han will pass on the Falcon to Allana and/or Jaina in Post-FOTJ novels since Allana wants to become a pilot and Jacen had a vision of Allana as an adult ruling the unified galaxy as he was killed by Jaina in Invicible. Well that prophecy come true in Post-FOTJ books? Find out in 2013 or 2014.

Perhaps Tim Zahn could do a Luke and Ben Skywalker adventure novel post-FOTJ where Ben teams up with a clone of Thrawn or Matt Stover will write the final adventure of the Big Three(Luke,Han and Leia) or perhaps Zahn and Stover could do the final Big 3 adventure with a clone of Thrawn. Finally I think Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi should have been the perfect basis for the third Star Wars trilogy of Episodes VII,VIII and IX. And if Matt Stover does the final Big 3 adventure. It could have been either a bridge novel or an epilogue novel to the sequel trilogy.

Again FOTJ the best SW series since LOTF and Zahn's Thrawn trilogy and look forward to Omen,Abyss and the ninth epic finale book in 2011.

Half are red heads. The GFFA can't turn out enough of them. Gingers are a whole different matter.

Catching red hair on film. Not an easy trick. I have red hair. I'm no ginger. I'm a day walker like Ben. Are there even any gingers in the GFFA? tongue

A Warholesque splash of silkscreened red might have highlighted the cover. Might have been too much though. I have to say. I have loved the FOTJ covers. This one is no exception.




Day Walker grin lol that's a funny episode.

as for the lightsaber, maybe that is just Ben's modeled after his mothers/grandfather's? He did finally make his own toward the end of LotF. Kol's is clearly modeled after it as well and could be easy enough to confuse if you're only seeing part of it.

Zayne is the Sith Emperor. Both use the Force,
both lived around the same time and Zayne is
friends with Gryph who is a notorious con-artist.
See! it all fits together perfectly!

So with all these things going wrong with Luke's jedi order. Why can't we see things going wrong with others? Maybe Someone from the one sith going mad from the same thing the Horn's are. Thus causing them to be aware of the sith. But seeing the Lost Tribe of the Sith maybe they connect it with them. Making them unaware of Krayt's sith. It looks like the Lost tribe and the One Sith both hold to the Sith tatoos. Seeing and developing Luke's Jedi order is great but i would also like to see other orders develop. There are SO many other orders and practices out there that are hidden or just left alone. They are never hunted never involved never anything. With the Sith uprising we have two sith tribes that have been building for hundreds of years. I think its about time for others to start stepping in. Because eventaully they will be consumed by the sith. Plus it would make for more interesting development.

Ben is very...pouty-lipped. Maybe if this Jedi thing doesn't work out, he can call up Zoolander and learn "blue steel". I wasn't too sure how I felt about the covers at first, but they've grown on me. Like a fungus.

i agree, why can't we have off shoot star wars novels, how about having a extended series with the aing tii or the order we saw in No Prisoners with Callista and that group.

Half are day walkers. Mara's a day walker. Luke isn't; one sun's bad enough for ginger kids.

With the slow start I'm wondering whether Del Rey would bother to stick a classic 5 act drama setting to FOTJ:

Act 1: Introduce/build up the good guys
Outkast
Omen
Act 2: Introduce/build up the bad guys
Abyss
Backlash
Act 3: Things start to go wrong
FOTJ #5
FOTJ #6
Act 4: Conflict reaches climax
FOTJ #7
FOTJ #8
Act 5: Resolution

Yes, I lnow the lost tribe shows up in Omen but they are not the only bad guys.


Also, Cade could be a descendant from Ben and Vestara. That would explain his Sith eyes and fringing the dark side.

Hmm... all these suggestions of Ben+Vestara make me notice that they already have something in common already: Ship has tried to seduce them both. Maybe it can be to them what the Falcon is to Han and Leia. tongue

She's on the cover of Omen. *not really a spoiler, but anyway...*Her intro was in an ebook that tells their background, her tribe will be hunting Luke and Ben shortly.
