    It'll unstick on its own. They do that now. Most of the time.

    Huge TUF spoilers underneath.

    --------------------------

    10. The long lost Imperial Superweapon, the Nostril of Palpatine finally makes an appearence. It covers Yuuzhan'tar in a sticky mucas killing everything on the planet.

    9. The GFFA clones its greatest hero, and Mara Jade runs off with Luuuuuuuuuuke Skywalker.

    8. Isard returns, and her eyes even scare the hell out of Shimmira, causing him to leave Yuuzhan'Tar just before the Nostril of Palpatine attacks it.

    7. Hobbie crashes into a Rakamet, and survives, but we never find out how.

    6. Triclops returns, and Pellaeon freely hands over the reigns of power to him. He proceeds to go even more insane, and sings a brilliant musical number with the Grand Admiral.

    5. Jacen finds out Vergere is the love child of Yoda, and Big Bird. He decides to found the first CFF (Corellian Fried Fosh). Fosh become extinct in the next 3 monthes.

    4. Told in first person from the view of Jar Jar Binks, who finally finds Luke, and Leia after 50 years of knowing who they are.

    3. After the final defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong Jania, and Jag get some much needed R&R at "Hologram Fun World" where they end up getting married.

    2. Davish Krail, who somehow survived the Death Star returns to the GFFA, tells Jania Solo to "Stay on Target" ten times before being shot down.

    1. Ken Palpatine, and an army of Lactils cause the final defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong.

    --------------------------

    If I can be serious for a second, I'd just like to say I'm stoked for TUF. I've been waiting for this books since Star by Star, and I trust my buddy Jim Luceno to do a fantastic job as he always does.

    It's November 1st release right?

    Two NJO novel discussion threads? Cool!

    Hopefully, there's a few big "surprises" in TUF.

    Clearly, since Fett is on the back cover, DR didn't mean for it to be a surprise.

    That the Vong have Sith ancestry and Ben will ultimately play a vital role?

    You'll see. You'll all see. And when you do, then we get to play Run From The Hungry Hounds!

    This may have been posted elsewhere, but I thought I'd share. I apologize if someone else already mentioned it. I was re-reading NJO#4- Hero's Trial by Luceno today, and I noticed something. Page 64-where Luke and Mara are talking.

    *Luke gazed at his wife. "Maybe Jacen's right about there being alternatives to fighting."
    "He certainly didn't get that from his father."
    "His coming to it on his own makes it all the more significant. He thinks I've paid too much attention to the Force as power, at the expense of understanding a more unifying Force."*

    Hmm...Irony or extreme advance planning?

    Nice pick-up, I really don't have a clue what's going to happen in TUF. It seems like its too late to turn back from the fighting though.

    The planning was always there from the start. You just gotta pick out the key factors!

    How many of you noticed that "Viqi Shesh" and "Cal Omas" were specifically mentioned, as Leia scanned the sea of faces when addressing the senate all the way back in Onslaught?

    Two particular names that would have later importance.

    I picked up on Viqi, but WJW made it clear he had the job of selecting CoS from the remaining Senators, and he chose Cal Omas, whom he would actually give a character to, rather than just a name. Fyi, Cal Omas and Triebakk (sp?) are also mentioned in VP, Excellence, when Luke meets with the Senate there.

    Is it me or is the younger guy on the cover of TUF look a lot like anakin skywalker (from ATOC). I would assume that the younger guy is suppose to be jacen, and if they are makeing him look like anakin skywalker are they trying to say he is going to make some sort of contribution like he did??

    Another book that I can't wait for. Am I the only person who doesn't think that Han will die?

    And there is a lot of debate about that being Anakin from AOTC or the Solo Anakin. ARG! This post has been infected!

    If jacen is on the front and back cover, is that the first time a character has done that?
