    I'm interested in the 2 wizard suborders The Sith Lords game mentioned: the Zeishon Sha and the other one. Combat robes for mages. Or are they just regular orders, like Echani?

    Wow! You're here! Thanks so much for dropping by; and it really is great art. I look forward to reading more of the stories behind it if you ever get your blog up and running!

    Regarding Ben's hair colour - apologies if I was shrill; it's a...half-comedic obsession by now. Though as to why the Wook's visuals are incorrect, it's because we have very, very few images of Ben. Really, aside from the art in this book, there's just two pictures from a Star Wars: Tales comic which may not be canon anyway (the Tales generally aren't unless reference elsewhere), where Ben shows up for a panel or two with blond hair - probably because the comic was published before Ben had really featured in any books as anything other than an infant - and the front cover of Fury where you can't tell what color it is due to the lighting!

    For such an important character, the boy's really hurting for some illustrations! So thanks for adding another one, even if he has, uh, dyed his hair in honour of his father ;)

    Chiss- Does the book mention anything on the power of force flight? Or on Maw being able to use the power of the force for hover/levitation/or flying? I know that this power is in the Dark Side Sourcebook, the updated RPG sourcebook, and the new one that came out this May. Please let me know if any of the above came out. Will the book be released tomorrow?

    Not sure about the Combat robes for mages thing, but what little is known about the Zeison Sha is covered in the d20 'Power Hero's Guide' sourcebook as far as I know.

    Basically I think some Jedi crashed on some planet, and focused on using telekinesis more, a LOT more. Try looking on the Wook

    EDIT: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Zeison_Sha

    It's supposed to be out the 27th, same as Fury if I remember correctly. I was just fortunate enough to find one very early.

    so basically this book is a new essential chronology but focused on the jedi and sith instead of the larger galactic governments?

    No no, there's some history sure but there's also sections on various Force powers and Force users.

    Hey Chiss-man, I was wondering is there any mention of the Sith'ari in relationship to the Chosen One?

    Not at all, basically this book is SW philosophy, and that is a great thing. There is nothing solid information wise in the book, it is all theories, suppositions, and thoughts on the Force and it is a tremendous book.

    Really? Then why is no one in this entire kriffing thread mentioning any of that? To hear them is to believe that it's all Force powers and retreading the historical info given in the NEC.

    Probably because I'm, so far, the only one who seems to have it and I've yet to actually get a chance to read it. That, and I am pretty much just answering questions people ask which seem to be on history and powers. But the above desciption is correct, si.
