	Not having the Solo kids drawn like 16 year olds who still behave like hormonally driven teenagers? Nah. Never gonna happen. That'd be like having the Big 3 act like pensioners. You're forgetting, just like 60 is the new 40, 35 is the new 15.

	FireJade posted: Yes, it's confirmed Mara. Thanks. It's odd, even though Jaina Solo has been a regular character for over 30 years (in universe time), the only decent pictures of her are from the Japanese covers of the NJO books. The only recent picture of her that I can recall, is that ... ummm ... odd shot of Caedus staring at her crotch, while she's soaring spread-eagle at him with a maniacal expression on her face. -----signature----- Everything I tell you is a lie

	Crap, when Zorrixor posted: but something that wanted to kill everybody would fit that bill. And usually killing everybody doesn't exactly work when it'd mean Mr. Evil Thingy killing himself too... I immediately thought of the Charon, but I see I've been beaten to the punch. -----signature----- "We cannot afford to take mythology at face value." -Indiana Jones

	I seem to recall hearing that Insider/Hyperspace subscribers will be receiving a promotion package in the mail, and that package will include a short novella by Christine Golden. I think it's called Precipice. Does anyone know if the packages have been shipped yet? Has anyone received it yet? -----signature----- A Gathering of Light - new site: http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/15798221 Liberty and Custody: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=14219579 Solo Rogue Jedi: http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/15798533

	There was a thread a few weeks back about that. It's called Imprint, and is a prologue or something about the lost tribe in the days before FOTJ. So, sort of like Precipice and Skyborn (which are ALSO about the lost tribe's backstory, but part of a series being written by JJM made up e-books that are/will be available free). Speaking of Skyborn, isn't that out next Tuesday? I don't believe anyone had any info on Imprint yet though, as there was a lot of confusion about exactly how you get hold of it. Like, is it just a normal Hyperspace story that you can read like END or whatever? Or is it just part of a new users sign up package? If the latter... my subscription expired about a year ago... but usually these bonuses are only if you're in the US, which is the main reason I'm currently very iffy about renewing my subscription for Imprint.

	It won't be available on the Hyperspace page -- they send it to you in the kit only.

	Ah. Well, I have just renewed my Hyperspace... here's hoping I actually get it then. No doubt after all this it will turn out to just be a paragraph long and nothing more than a preview for Omen made up of things we've already seen.

	I'm pretty much expecting it to be exactly as you described, so I'm not in a hurry to renew. I'll wait and see how it turns out when other people start getting theirs. See more detailed info on the status of IMPRINT in the IMPRINT thread.

See more detailed info on the status of IMPRINT in the IMPRINT thread. I tried searching for that thread, but the Search option that's presented on these boards sucks big time! Everytime I try to use it to find a thread, I get no results. You got a link to that thread? -----signature----- A Gathering of Light - new site: http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/15798221 Liberty and Custody: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=14219579 Solo Rogue Jedi: http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/15798533

	Got my advance reader copy of Abyss in the mail yesterday. About 40 pages into it and so far it is very enjoyable (although it is largely the two excerpts that we have already seen). These books already flow together so much better than Legacy of the Force.

	...hm, either I start avoiding all possible spoilers or I spoil myself silly about the storyline. Oh, decisions, decisions. Argh, even with all my cynicism, I still help but get excited over a new Star Wars book (and the fact that novels are flowing together much better than LotF is almost hopeful... if I weren't so pessimistic). About another... 3 and 1/2 weeks to go till the official release, I believe? Better be more careful about avoiding spoilers till then. Either that or hoping one of my local bookstores release it a week or so early, but they seem to be more strict about not releasing Star Wars books early anymore, especially since these are all hardcovers. -----signature----- Don't mind me, I'm nobody important.
