Well it seems my favorite writer in the Star Wars universe is calling it quits after Imperial Commando #2. She writes in her blog that it is a combination of continuity issues and too much on her plate with her non-SW novels. It appears that the SW books are not her main source of income as far as being a writer and the SW books are too much for her to make a living with. I can't blame her there, a person needs to make a living lol, but I must say that I am VERY saddened with her saying bye now. I was hoping for more than just the two imperial commando books but it looks like I will have to look for a new series lol. I really hope everything turns out well for all of them and Ms. Traviss doesn't do the dumb thing of killing most of them off. If you want to read the entire blog for yourself u can see it here:

Thank you Ms. Traviss for (in my opinion) a wonderful set of stories, that really captured the essence of Jedi and soldier life.

It's sad she has decided to quit SW altogether. I know she had planned to write a Boba Fett novel, which I was hoping would cover what happened to him after LOTF.
I wish her luck in her future work and endeavors.

Oh no. Well, I understand her needs, and I appreciate what she's given us. But man........ sad My disappointment is real. On the heals of hearing this news, I'm glad we went and had a wonderful night at the skate party last night. More good memories. batting

I am saddened by this news! More and more...looks like this new Clone Wars series is causing major ripples throughout the Star Wars saga.
