    My money credits are on the Episode VII novelization.

    They're really more Borg-lite than Vong-lite.

    Well I meant in the "Random Alien Invasion From Nowhere" sense, but that is true also.

    Please let this be true. I'm torn on what I would want him to write though. A new Stover Clone Wars novel would be cool, but the idea of him writing the Inquisitor's origin is fantastic. I'm not sure what other eras they would let him write in. I assume the OT era will be taken up mostly by the comics.

    Excellent. Stover could write a novel about a sand dune on Tatooine and he'd make it fascinating. So whatever it's about, I'm in.

    Eh, been burned on this too many times. I'm going to assume it's a reprint (maybe Mindor since that's the only one to have even slight relevance to a ST marketing push) so any news can only be an improvement.

    So it's probably either a Legends branded reprint of Shatterpoint or Mindor or a reissue of ROTS.

    (One assumes they wouldn't reprint Traitor as Legends without other NJO books first)

    The weird thing is that it's hardcover. I can't see it for Shatterpoint or Mindor, so maybe all six novelizations are being reprinted?

    :( maybe the excitement will convince them to bring back Stover. He's clearly popular and so would be a great choice.

    The next time "Matt Stover" and "Star Wars" go into a sentence suggesting a new novel, and it doesn't happen I'm going to make sure the perpetrator goes through an Embrace of Pain gauntlet of my own design.

    I'm starting the design stage now. I'm gonna Vergere the **** out of some unlucky bastard.

    It's funny how people forgot Stover got grief over Shatterpoint, of all things, because of something he had no control over. He might not want to deal with that again.
