What book would you like to see the most?

Outbound flight for me. Although seeing a young Winter in the Leia backstory would be cool.

 

Anakin Solo 73: I like your idea too. I don't know how I missed it. But let's go even farther back, before there was a Temple and a Council.

 

Why not a story set 25,000 years before TPM? Let's tell the story of how the Jedi Knights formed and the Republic.

I actually have an idea for this. With systems expanding past the core and exploring the galaxy, the Jedi followers start to take more and more recruits. The Jedi Knights then form a Council which acts as the ruling body of the galaxy. The Council is a larger number of Jedi than the TPM era council.

The outer rim systems and a few core systems revolt because they don't like the idea of a superior group of people who have exclusive powers controling them. The galaxy is thrown into civil war.

There is a rift in the Jedi Knights (the emergence of the Sith) who want ot use the force for abusive powers. The Jedi unite with the revolting systems. They all take on the Sith Empire. When the Sith falls, The galaxy unites.

The ruling Jedi council decides that it would be better if the Jedi did not devote time to politics of controling the galaxy. They feel that it would be better for the systems to govern themselves. Instead, the Jedi see themselves as the appointed ones of the force to protect the galaxy.

 

all of them!!! and the more the better!!!

 

a young yoda story

 

I voted for the Ben Skywalker era, but a story I want told more than anything is Luke and Leia finally learning about Padme.

 

TIE fighter series!!! i've been waiting for them to do that since the X-wing series.

(also a trilogy focusing on Fel's time trying to find his wife and how he hooks up with the chiss would be cool)

 

I'm torn! I would love to read more about the outbound flight project, but I would also love to see a post-NJO Jaina, Jacen, Ben...assuming they live ofcourse!

 

Fill in the stuff from Jedi vs. Sith to Jedi Apprentice! Give us some stories with a "middle-aged" Yoda!

 

I'd love to see just about every choice listed (save palpitine and dooku), but I KNOW that a novel trilogy redo of Dark Empire is SO friggin' needed.

As the most powerful and influential lit in the EU (and also the reason many now hate the EU) there is no doubt in my mind that it needs to be revamped in writing.

As it is Dark Empire is usually the most confusing and ignored peice os EU hist. People wonder how Anakin suddenly showed up or why Palpitine is said to have been ressurected. ALL Anti-EUers start with the inconsistancies of Dark Empire.

But, with a little help we could easily have Ep VII, VIII IX (EU style).


There's a lot of fun material, from Rogue squad to the only real whuppence the NR has felt yet. (Yeah, the Vong are close but not quite.)

And the additional sub-plots that could be added would make any EU fan drool.

Mara...

Is is really Palpitine...

Corran...



OH AND IT'D FINALLY GIVE THE E-WING GOOD SCENES

... What?!

 

I was so torn when choosing my vote. All the ideas were things i wanted to see ! Why can't they just make them all ?

Getting back to Dark Empire, i managed to pick up DE and DE2 TPBs a couple of months ago, and i must say that when one reads it, it all seems a little contrived. I'm not a big comics reader, so maybe that's the signature of the medium, but i do think that novels would make it seem extremely real to me. And while i do get that the events of DE are huge, the amount of referencing to it within the novels seems a little unfair. The X-wing novels had one character, and a return to Twi'lek (sp), along with a clear statement that this was a revamped group. The actual events of the comics (except Baron Fel) were not repeated. And keep in mind that the X-wing books follow-on from the comics. Kyle Katarn, despite being in games and comics, has never once had a novel reference. Given this, it's easy to see how newbies get confused, as the novels never seem refer to any other comics, that they spend agonising hours trying to locate this elusive 'novel'. I know i've spent some time in that pursuit.

 

Im right there with some of you. I would like to see a majority of them. ESPECIALLY A DARK EMPIRE NOVEL! I hate the comic! UHG! Anyways, I would also like to see a prequel era with Thrawn, C'boath, and Palpy. That could be really interesting.

 

I would love to see a Leia backstory. I think that she has been ignored in that area and it is time we learn about her life post Luke. I'm intersted in her life as the Princess of Alderaan and her relationship with her father, Bail. I'd also like to see a Post NJO story arc in which Leia and Luke find out about thier mother.

 

I vote TIE fighter. I love stories form the empires side.

 

NJO sequels.

 

Hmm, interesting results so far, with the majority wanting a large, mulit-book arc featuring the Old Jedi Order, closely followed by the Princess Leia backstory.
