A&A The Official Matthew Woodring Stover Discussion Thread

Oops, sorry. Too good a joke to pass.

Thanks for the info, but this would be the last status quo I was aware of, too. The new information opens a few questions for me. It might just be that they have to pay royalties and therefore will never get rich on the project but continue anyway. It might also be that they can release the work that's been funded through Kickstarter (the first issue you already have) "since no one is profiting" and after that there's nothing - Matt has other work, so no need to put money and work into fighting for the comic book stuff.To me that reads as if Matt won't be working on the comic. All this "hell, we can release it now" and "Matt is doing well with SW" gives me the impression of a bookend as well. But then again, I'll admit that there's a lot of interpretation going on on my part.

I was kinda under the same impression, sadly. But if it comes down to Matt writing more novels and a very slow to develop overworld comic, i'll take the novels.

Still no word from either Star Wars books FB or Matt on any of this.

Yeah, I just hope he'll be around, writing stuff that I'll be able to read and being happy with what it is he's doing. I shouldn't tell anyone, but I'm not even through the Caine books since I kept those like good wine bottles (and then there's all the mandatory reading for the wonderful 181st Discussion Group (shameless plug)). So I'm not sure when the comic book would really have made sense for me - obviously it wouldn't need you to read the novels first, but still, I'd think I'd prefer a chronological take regarding production time. And the colouring test wasn't what I prefer in a comic, to be brutally honest. But since I didn't support the thing financially (thus not earning a digital copy), I guess I should just shamefully stand in the corner when it comes to this project.

Was it good, though?

The FB people seem pretty good at responding to questions when there's something they can say, so I'm inclined to take the silence on IC2 as a pretty good sign.

Thats what I was thinking. And Matt is generally the same way.

Just want to say thanks to you Mr. Stover for all the great works you've done.

Matt responded to a facebook post (When will we get another Stover book?) saying that he was concurrently working on like five projects, including his long awaited gritty crime novel.

From what I gather, he works on one until he gets to a road block, then moves onto the next. So, we should expect five stover novels in like six years or so

That's good news and a likely prediction. Although any franchise work might come with a deadline attached, so that would probably come sooner or not at all anyway.

Actually, he said he didn't know if he was going to publish it under another name. Its too far out to tell.

So...

Do we still think Stover is writing the sequel to Imperial Commando?

...or could he in fact be doing something about Episode 7?

Well, that end of the timeline is safe for now. They'll probably squeeze it in before the contract ends, or maybe it wasn't meant to be if it took too long anyway.

Might he be involved in the ST novels? If Lucas really enjoyed working with him, I wouldn't rule it out. And if DR is still around, remembering that everyone was crazy about the ROTS novel.

MWS is not currently working on any ST stuff, because he's trying to get people to petition Disney to get him involved lol

He should be involved. My favorite SW novelist by far.

Waiting patiently for whatever Stover writes next

Waiting impatiently for whatever Stover writes next.

and by me waiting patiently, I mean impatiently.

I was gonna say you were a better bloke than I,

Thank you but I still am pretty patient since we don't have a summary/synopsis of the new book yet. Get the back cover or a announcement of what the book will be about and I will really be wanting the book to come out ASAP
