Lit Books FACPOV ROTJ 2023 - Released!

I'm looking forward to a Jason Fry Battle of Endor story. Maybe it'll make the Keyser Salm fix more explicit, though it's not my preferred solution.

 

Bib Fortuna surviving and taking Jabba's place.

Max Rebo escaping in the right moment.

 

Malakili
Boba Fett with segway to the Book of Boba Fett intro
Sith acolyte(s) on Exegol when Palps "dies"
Force Ghost Anakin and\or Force Ghost reunion at the end

 

Qui-Gon telling Obi-Wan and Yoda "I told you so" hahaha

Force Ghost Anakin observing Luke and Leia at the celebration and seeing so much of Padme in both of them.

 

some new character povs
Ahsoka feeling Anakin's redemption and death
aphra pov
Rex pov is he Nik or they separate characters
a Ewok Pov

 

The ROTJ FACPOV will be an interesting one because of the original films, that one contains, I think, the highest concentration of unexplored or minimally-explored "background" characters. I'm looking forward to it.

Top of the wish list is, of course, the long-awaited Wam Lufba story. (Only half joking here - the fact that Yuzzum come from Endor is one of those early-lore details that has almost never been followed up on or explained, and I love exploring that sort of thing.)

What else? A story where Bib Fortuna, Bossk, and Max Rebo all escape the sail barge together; a Kneesaa story showing what she's up to during the battle, a Jerjerrod story (maybe retelling the deleted scene where he is hesitant to destroy Endor), the Bothan spies, Crix Madine, Amanaman, one or two of the randos hanging around the background of the Rebel briefing scene, a story or two about the Pathfinders, etc. And as others have suggested: Sith cultists on Exegol celebrating Palpatine's arrival, and the definitive story of whether the bearded Pathfinder is Rex or Nik Sant.

Not on my wish list necessarily, but I guarantee we'll see a Kes Dameron and/or Shara Bey story, and a Sarlacc story (in keeping with the FACPOV tradition of stories about creatures who turn out to be sentient).

 

Hera flying the Ghost in the Battle.

 

An entire short story of sarlaac saying yummy yummy

 

A story involving the 'torture droid' in Jabba's Palace. Was he 'born' that way or did something happen to make him that way?

 

At some point we need a story where Walrus Man, Hammerhead, Snaggletooth, Squid Head, Prune Face, and Yak Face all sit in a cantina and complain to each other about how no one knows or cares what their actual names are.

 

Malakili

Oola or Yarna d'al' Gargan

Maybe a long shot because they're only in the Special Edition, but I've always liked Sy Snootles' trio of backup singers (Rystáll Sant, Greeata, and Lyn Me); it'd be nifty if we got some more background on one or more of them.



(Look at how funky those wigs are! Space mullet on my girl Greeata. Rystáll's whole look makes me think of Bombalurina from CATS.)

 

A story from the perspective of Palpatine's advisors.

 

I'm guessing well get another meta whills story

 

Definitely need a story about Sheev's death/resurrection.

First, fear and outrage at Vader's betrayal. Then, frantically pulling off the technique before he expires. Followed by triumph at cheating death, prophecy, and the kriffing Chosen One all at the same time.

Concluding with the crushing horror and disappointment of realizing the cultists hadn't completed their work and he's shackled to a rotting corpse on Exegol.

 

a Jaxxon story is probably a thing that will happen

 

Mount Sorrow's pov of the Endor happenings and other Ewok magic happening behind the Rebels and Empires back. Some of them puzzled about inexplicable happenings.


Rise of the Dark Falls as Bib's story title!


Cindel Towani pov and tale

Noa Briqualon pov

I kind of hope the Bothan spies are only lightly covered in this - I enjoy how cagey canon's been about revealing anything on them.

 

Well I don't care if they are lightly covered or wear full bodysuits so long they remain invisible

They are so good, if you could see them, the mystery would be gone.

Maybe they can become literal shadows like the Defel or have some other hidden species trait they kept from the outsiders knowledge. Like a natural Art of the Small the Forceusers like Vergere can do. Bothans had their own Force culture after all and even could reattach shot off limbs and remote control them via the Force while off as per X-Wing comics! Maybe it was Malrev's Sith magic but we certainly need to see more of this interesting arcane power with the limbs.

 

For the love of all that is holy/sacred, I want a FACPOV of Ackbar the moment that they take down the Executor.

I get that. In the days before Heir to the Empire Bothans were super mysterious -- WEG also didn't detail them until the HttE Sourcebook -- and my imagination went wild with the possibilities of what they might look like and how their spies operated. (In the RPG campaign I ran when I was fifteen, the Bothans were eight foot tall, transparent, bioluminescent humanoids that could fly via a special internal organ that operated like a natural repulsorlift. Don't ask me how something like that manages to blend in enough to be a spy - my campaign followed the Rule of Cool before it was a thing.) I hope that when canon finally gets around to revealing them, the creators take the opportunity to make them suitably mysterious, bizarre, and interesting.
