    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. From Left to Right: Scout, Asajj, Whie Malreaux.

    That illustration looks almost precisely how I imagined that scene. And lol at how Scout looks nothing like her other illustration in the same book.
    EDIT:

    [​IMG]
    This is the first illustration in the book, and is available in virtually every preview. Still, I like how it emulates the cover of the 1976 Star Wars novelization.

    Also, Amazon refuses to let me access the LotF or CW pages. Or most of the NR era.

    If I were to guess, I'd say Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. Specifically the scene in the mansion on Vjun, where Whie and Scout are confronted by Ventress.

    Edit: Beaten by...everyone else. lol

    So apparently, Kemps was going to have a scene in Deceived where Sith were playing a ballgame with severed Jedi heads.

    Yes the lack of anything remotely diverse is jarring

    RC-1991 I was able to get most of the entire NR era. What I've posted pretty much covers the interesting images, aside from what has already been posted before (Jerec, Djo, etc.)

    Oh hey, another caption whose picture got cut off apparently depicts Bane and Zannah preparing for their final duel.

    EDIT: Thanks Jello!

    You could always spend $200 on a Kindle Fire if you want color. :p

    so no YJK illustrations beyond the already released group art? no LOTF/FOTJ Tenel Ka as Queenmother?

    No, that defeats the point of a Kindle. You use a Kindle for e-ink, not as a second-rate iPad.

    I'm just wondering whether or not the images will be there in any decent quality--and if so, then I'll read them on the PC Kindle.

    Another excerpt: Mortis was LFL's idea, not Denning. So we can at least stop ganking him for that.

    Oy, am I the only one who is upset that they went with TCW's version of Asaaj for the Cestus Deception and Dark Rendezvous pictures?

    Another minor quibble- it seems pretty much none of the portraits match illustrations of events. Zannah and Scout, for example, look completely different between the two types of pictures.

    It's as different of an art style as that of the two illustrators who worked on the Essential Guide to the Force, really.

    That's...odd. Does it say who at LFL suggested it?

    Adding Mortis was Chee's idea because the Denningverse concocted a story that approached Mortis territory.

    Dr. Steve Brule Not as far as I can tell, though it's just one of the quotes that came up in the sidebar when I searched "Abeloth".

    I wonder if this book will make FotJ make more sense to someone who, like me, boycotted the series, and only read reviews here and plot summaries on the Wook.

    It's not a blame game when they tell you they're responsible :p
