    Here's a tidbit regarding Interlude at Darkknell and how it relates to TFU:
    [​IMG]

    CeiranHarmony, that just made my day. Confirmation of Lumiya's deception AND rumors of Stover writing another Star Wars novel in the same day? W00t!

    EDIT: Oh crap, a textual search for "Vergere" brings up the quote "...As this first book came together, Allston proposed a more literal interpretation of Vergere's continued influence on Jacen...". It's listed as page 421, placing it during the Betrayal section.

    what more literal interpretation? don't get the meaning of this... and that it was Allston makes me uncomfortable. all the time the fans blamed Denning... time for apologies I bet for some fans.

    Okay, I have no idea who those two are. Or the pair of Padawans in your previous pic, LI. I'm sure that I'll feel stupid when I find out who they are.

    Oh my there's a picture from Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina depicting the Bith Musicians trying to escape the chaos that is Lady Valarian's wedding. [face_laugh] Thank you, amazon.de!

    By Talos, some of these characters look mind-numbingly generic.

    EDIT: This is Zeerid Korr and Whatserface from Deceived, btw

    CeiranHarmony it is a big wrench in everyone's conceptions, isn't it? If anyone can access the full text of p.421, please post it.

    Qui-Gon and Tahl. Before that, Obi-Wan and Bruck Chun.

    Sorry, I meant the two dueling.

    Also, Shadow Games is placed right before Rebel Dawn, rather than during it, as I had assumed. I'm not sure if that's a revelation to anyone besides me, but I'll just throw that out there.

    RC-1991 It definitely is... though I believe they really got vergere wrong or never got her at all then if they thought that that is a literal interpretation. still the entry under Traitor makes me hope that at least someone understands, like Pablo, Stover and hopefully several more.

    also searching character names... and trying amazons usual typos in names to find more results... I am disturbed by some not delivering any results whereas others do unnecessarily field lots of results.


    like: No results for Seha Dorvald? None?

    Mara [face_love]

    EDIT: So who are the two getting lectured by Yoda? I'm guessing one is either Dooku or Qui-gon. And I facepalmed at Bruck and Kenobi. Considering how many times I read JA as a child, I should have recognized that immediately.

    hmm as for the art, lots of great stuff but also lots of random stuff that could be anybody in any book... many art pieces look drawn in a rush and more like fanart instead of professional art. too generic faces and too many humans indeed. well.. still lots of greatness in this guide so far!

    "Like"s all around to everybody who's been posting pics. Thanks a bunch!

    Did anybody find that portrait of Kal Skirata they showed in one of the earlier art previews?

    UPDATE: Text search reveals a caption for an image that apparently includes Luke, Ben, Darth Caedus, and some GAG. The next quote in the "Caedus" search, p.432, apparently describes Luke freeing Ben from the Anakin Solo, so apparently that hidden illustration is that silly duel in Inferno.

    Hmmm.... this makes me think.

    So I mostly want this book for the art. Now, the kindle edition was one I wasn't interested in because on an actual kindle, it'd all be black and white. However, the question is--how good will the images be on the PC app for Kindle? Because I'd much prefer to have this thing digitally to be honest, but only if the images were up to snuff. I'd not have to worry about it wasting space on a bookshelf.
