We have the Darth Bane Duology-for now. We have KotOR and KotOR II, and soon KotOR III, hopefully. We also have the Jedi vs. Sith comics, and the Knights of the Old Republic comic series (I'm talking about the comics from 1999, I think, correct me if I'm wrong) we also have the new series. And that's about it.
I love this particular era (like KotOR) and would love to see more books and well.....anything more in that era. Who agrees with me there? Say what you'd like to see in this, becasue there's so much the can do with it, because of how far back it is.

I'm not against them, so long as they don't have anything to do with the current KOTOR comics and aren't written by Karpyshyn. A New Sith Wars series, for instance, could be awesome.
On the other hand, it could also suck, so I would only support such a venture on the condition that it didn't.

I really liked the two Darth Bane books so I think it would be a great idea for a series...at least it would be a better series than if they decided to put it after LOTF.

What do you have against Karpyshyn? I mean he shouldn't be the only author who explores this era, but he should be able to write some more books during the Old Republic era (at least a third Darth Bane book). Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there like a two thousand year period in Star Wars history that hasn't really been explored at all (3950 B.B.Y.-2000 B.B.Y)? I mean two thousand years is quite a lot and gives an author a high degree of freedom.

Actually he's one of the few authors whose been given the chance to explore the Old Republic era, many have pitched ideas for Old Republic era novels, but they've been shot down in the past because LF wants to focus on the big three...and I love Karpshyn's work.

Give me more of the Darth Bane series! PLEASE! I HAVE to know how Zannah takes down Bane! Right now, the odds are long against her, even without his armor. When Bane still had his orbalisks, I thought that Zannah might learn a Sithly-version of the shatterpoint to take him down. If he ever gets them back, I think she should do something of that nature. It would fit her character; she relies less on brute force and more on defense and cunning.
Treachery is the way of the Sith; I demand to see how the first RoT Sith carried it out!

A series based on the Order of Sith Lords from Bane to Sidious would be a series I'd jump through hoops to get my hands on, especially if they handed each different Dark Lord's books to a different author each time one takes their Masters place as the Dark Lord.

I don't find him the best in the group of EU writers but I'm always curious about the intense dislike of him by some. It it his rearranging things for his own use in the canon of Bane?

That sucks. In all honesty I am getting sick of the big three and I think some others are as well. We should write LF and tell them that we'd like to see more Old Republic era novels. There is still a lot to be explored in the Old Republic era and I'd like to see it done sooner rather than later. A two thousand year gap along with some other time periods that could use some more fleshing out leaves lots of room for creativity.

Yes. If Del Rey is looking at this (and they're probably not....you need to use this idea!

KOTOR era novel would be...well, like any SW novel it depends on the author. As a big TOTJ/KOTOR fan, I would definitely read it. However, I wouldn't want it to interfere with the KOTOR comic series. AN unexplores time period between the TOTJ and Mandalorian Wars is very promising and the novel set in that time would be amazing.
Early days of the Republic and the discovery of Hyperspace would be a great read as well.

I think the early adventures of Jolee Bindo would be pretty cool to read about.

I think he (or someone) should be allowed to finish his Darth Bane series, but that's for the sake of completion more than anything else, as I'm not that interested in Bane's character anymore. Other than that, I didn't find his take on the era particularly interesting or worth revisiting. I'd rather see something that makes the era actually feel like it's a different era, not just a very early Prequel story.

His blatant disregard for established canon is part of it, but he's also just a mediocre writer. The Old Republic my favorite era, so if DR is going to continue publishing there, I'd rather their contributions be closer to the KOTOR/JvS/Redemption end of the spectrum than the GAotS/FotSE/PODROT end.

I just think you need to calm down, count to 10 or something. Why don't you just enjoy the story for what it is? The two Darth Bane books were very good so I don't know what you're talking about. Name 10 things that is not "canon" in the book and I guarantee you everything good about those books overshadows those inconsistencies.

Karpyshyn also deserves credit for being the lead writer for the first KOTOR video game. I like many others also liked the Darth Bane novels.

It's interesting to recall DR were, at one point, planning a 9-book Old Republic series that got axed to be replaced by LOTF....
