Target blurb posted:
With the Rebel Alliance's finances were lost with the destruction of Alderaan, their last hope is to access the secret accounts on Muunilinst, the former home of the InterGalactic Banking Clan and the financial heart of the galaxy.

I find that to be interesting, given that the TFU campaign guide said that an attempt by Bail Organa and some like-minded nobles to mask their aid to insurgent groups through banks on Muunilinst was "abortive" at best and nearly led to their being caught.

Continuity issues? Don't really care. I'll probably give it a try.

Is it even feasible to still be talking about a continuity? tongue

At this point it seems pointless. Because they just keep CRAMMING and CRAMMING more stories and more things in both the Clone Wars era and the ANH->ROTJ era.

Usually I'd care, but I haven't been following the timeline around this era with a fine-toothed comb because even looking at the thing gives me a headache at this point. I've pretty much given up the 0-4 ABY time frame as a lost cause.


I'm MUCH more interested in how this story jives with Forces of Corruption, however... whistling

This isn't likely to be too bad, given that we still have some room for stories in the 9 months to 2.5 year period after ANH, and that the Scholastic Star Wars book series all seem to end after only ten books nowadays.

It's only if these really do take place right after the Battle of Yavin that we'll run into trouble. We'll see.

Yeah, I don't understand the fascination with setting all Rebellion stories in 0 ABY when it's already so tight-packed and 1 and 2 ABY are relatively wide-open. It just seems self-defeating. Set stuff where you have an opportunity to make a major impact and actually use the characters to some effect. You wanna tell a story that's worth telling? Set your series in 2 ABY, give Luke a steady girlfriend, and watch some character dynamics change. Show us Luke as Rogue Leader rather than just one component of the Gang Of Wandering Heroes. Give us an overarching villain who takes a campaign lasting the whole series to bring down. I don't know. But sticking yet another succession of random Big-Three-And-Entourage-Go-To-Random-World-And-Fight-Imperials adventures into a time period already jam-packed with them doesn't really accomplish anything.

Don't do that, Havac. I was getting all excited reading your post, thinking of what we could be getting...then reality came crashing down as I remembered what we are getting.

Shame on you for getting my hopes up shame_on_you

Whit it is that the PTB seem to think that O ABY is the only good or usable time is beyond me. There's so little exploration of 2-3 ABY that it's rather sad, especially given just how much information we have in the 0-1 ABY period. It's like people are afraid that no one will recognize the characters if they haven't just fought the battle of Yavin. plain

Mark my words: eventually, there'll be a Karpyshyn novel revealing that Darth Revan was actually responsible for the accuracy of Luke's proton torpedoes, followed immediately by a Timothy Zahn novel revealing that Tarkin's campaign of terror failed because he refused to listen to Thrawn's tactical advice, followed immediately by a Michael A. Stackpole novel revealing that despite Revan's strike on the thermal exhaust port, it was only the heroic efforts of Corran Horn that allowed the warhead to detonate. The Stackpole novel will be slightly more consistent than the others in that it will wholeheartedly agree with Timothy Zahn's assessment of Thrawn. The dedication will read, "Hey, Tim, can we hang out sometime? Because that would be totally swell of you."
