Sue never said he was the ONLY character in so many words, but when Zekk had the two Zels behind him, she mentioned that, I would therefore assume Luke is alone. Could be wrong of course.

Sue, could you clear this up if you have time?

Well she first said that it was Zekk, it was not until months later that she mentioned that the twins where there aswell. so we could have a similar situation with Luke...

Those probably are still in the process of being written. They both aren't due out til like 2009 or 2010.

Anyways, maybe the Blood Oath cover will look something like the new Rebel Force cover. It seems to fit the description Sue gave us of the new covers for FOTJ.

here's the new Rebel Force cover: http://www.theforce.net/image_popup/image_popup_global.asp?image=http://www.collectinghq.com/im/0014473.jpg

Sue,
I am troubled by the news that was released on October 21, 2008 reference the Old Republic video game. Though I loved both KOTOR 1 and 2 and played almost 93 hours, between the two, I feel that with this PC only, MMO I'm going to be left out of the story. The thing is I don't have the time, nor the type of income to be paying every month to play an online never ending game. The story, which appears to be excellent, will be one that I will unfortunately miss. Will you guys consider doing something with Del Rey/Dark Horse so that us unfortunate souls that don't play MMO's don't miss out on the epic story?

S1th'ari, if a URL is particularly long, it's a good idea to use the board code to make it a link. Otherwise it stretches out the screen - this time it's not too annoying, but sometimes that can be a real pain. The board coding is pretty simple, and you can learn it here.

Vong1116, Given the success of the TFU novel, I'd be very surprised if we didn't see at least one TOR tie-in of some type. There was that 'untitled game novel' floating around, after all.

The plan for the Fate of the Jedi books is to have a main character on the cover as well as a secondary character. The design concepts we saw showed just the one character -- I haven't seen a final concept for OUTCAST yet.

BLOOD OATH is not part of the FotJ series, so it'll have a different look. [I didn't check the link btw.}

Yes, this is part of the plan. A novel will come out sometime around the game release time and that's all that's been determined so far. I'll let you know as things develop.

DarkSpork -- Thanks for the info, I will definitely remember to use that little code next time!

Thanks, Sue, for the clarification. I figured that the new cover for Rebel Force sounded like what you described FOTJ as being 'iconic' and less of a painting. Thanks for the info though, every little bit counts.

Sue, thanks alot for the super quick response. You know that stroyline is very good, and unfortunately, I don't have the time to clock in all those insane hours on a PC game like my buddy does. I would hope that you guys plan on releasing a novel or two on that area of the PC game. At least my fears are calmed down

Old Republic MMO- Is there no way to put this on X-box 360? it's basically a computer?

I'll be missing this one, good to hear there is a novel hopefully on the way.

Great news! I hope that the author feels free to change things as necessary to adhere to EU continuity, as opposed to only the game.

A lot of fans were very unhappy with the plotholes and contradictions to the greater EU in TFU. Sean Williams might have been able to create a sounder story that fit in with the EU better if he'd chosen to not adhere so closely to the game.

With the time setting of The Old Republic, continuity may be far less of an issue, but it's probably a good idea in general for authors to remember that video games are written and designed for the greater gaming community and SW movie fans, not for the relatively smaller EU community, who expect, if not the games, then at least the novels and comics to follow the historicity that's already been established.
