Showing us some random monster wouldn't mean a lot to us, but showing us some hidden enemy whose face we recognise? That certainly would. You might well be onto something. thinking

Come on full page Waru looking blob... tongue

Do we even know what Waru looks like? For some reason I've always pictured him to look a lot like Jabba.

Of course, on the flipside, the back cover for Backlash hasn't had the same "ooh secret!" treatment that Inferno did; it's more understated. So it could just be that they expect fans will hypothesize that it's something they've seen before, and they don't want to reveal that the Maw threat is something new so soon.

(In other words, the joys of speculation.)

Any got an ideas when the spoilers will start rolling in?

Also anyone else think this is going to be the book that starts what ever galatic conflict this time around?


I've got an ARC, but am only PMing spoilers. Only 1/3rd of the way finished and not too much to spoil yet.

According to the FOTJ panel at Comic Con, the title for the sixth book is Vortex. Great, yet ANOTHER one word title.

I suspect they'll all be one-word titles, nova.

And correction: Waru's a blob of steaming jello with scales. hypnotized

But they have to end at some point. And "Millenium Falcon" doesn't count, since that's the name of a quite famous ship and isn't original. So that'll be what, 18 straight books, 19 if you count Crosscurrent, that are all one word? And the one book that doesn't fall into the category, Blood Oath, is in danger of being canceled.

Now, I'm just not sure if I want to know whether or not anyone dies...


It's still Star Wars. Usually, wars have casualties.


But there has been no war, and not one death yet, in 2 books...

Has it been confirmed that's Mara Jade Skywalker on the back of Abyss? Not a more current, mid-thirties Jaina?

That's interesting. I actually thought it was Jaina on the front. Apparently everyone's aging backward.


They said the covers are supposed to capture the ageless/timeless portraits of the characters.

title of FOTJ #6 = VORTEX, hmm, interesting, I like it.

It's just been the pattern with the 9 book series. I like it. We get to remember the name of the book and the general idea of it, instead of a super-long acronym.

Interesting... I think you have just uncovered the hidden conspiracy against two word titles that is undermining Blood Oath's publication. thinking tongue

And sadly, BO's fate doesn't look too great at the moment.

And then, book #8 could be titled Nemo, which is a nice reversal of Omen.

... now the circle is complete.

Still don't know what to make of Tsaktuo. Maybe a new Yuuzhan Vong character?

Ohh.... maybe we'll see Zonama Sekot?! praying grin praying

It certainly does sound "Vongy", at least in as much as "Tsaak" was a Vong name. "Tsaktuo" = "Tsaak 2"?

"Tsaak" is also very similar to "Zekk". thinking tongue
