Hey Sue, hope all is well in your corner of the world.
A few questions if I may:
*Will we ever hear more of, or meet, Daala's son and granddaughter?
*Will we ever get an explanation for who that GA captain at the end of Abyss was (the one who was chasing Han and Allana)?
*How come Luke and Ben never ever mention Malinza Thanas? This makes me sad.

*And finally, I just wanted to know if you and your team actually have a clear idea as to why Jacen fell to the Dark Side. Between his reasoning to himself and Lumiya in Betrayal, to wanting to protect Allana and create a peaceful galaxy to now in Abyss, with his intent to stop the Dark Man no matter what the cost, there is no way all these goals can co-exist. Especially not in the way they have been presented to us, and especially given we've never even heard Jacen mention the Dark Man, and given we've had plenty of POV scenes from his perspective, it seems as if things are just being randomly added. I.... guess I just want some sort of clarity on the issue.

Well, to be fair, Malinza must be a mother by now. She was 15-16 when Ben was born. And they have lots of friends, but doubt they discuss them with any frequency. Doesn't mean they don't see them, but we all have people in our lives that we are different tings to and that's what makes life interesting..

If Malinza was born in 11 ABY (if I remember correctly), she'd be just a couple years younger than Jaina. There's no need for Luke to watch over a "girl" in her early thirties. She's probably halfway to being Head of Bakura by now. If it ever joins the GA (due to its remote isolation that'd be hard to pull off), she could be Senator Thanas and hang out with the gang.

Jacen's fall has been handled oddly, but the authors have been admirably reticent about forcing Jacen's fall on some stupid side-cause. You'll notice that Denning did not have Jacen drink from the Fount of Power or the Knowledge...whatever it was. Golden's book almost explicitly says that Jacen was doomed to fall since the YV war, which is pretty much the attitude that Dark Nest and LOTF had. You'll remember that the flow-walk to Jacen in Omen was during his visit to the Ang-Tii, which happened before he visited the Mind-Walkers.

If a mod wishes to change my post, I'd be fine with it. Frankly, though, most of my comments were about Omen, not Abyss.

Well, the list of things that require spoiler warnings in the Spoiler Policy thread hasn't been updated since April...

I don't care about being spoiled myself, but I know others who would rather wait and not get the Hardcovers of FotJ. I mainly was just reminding people.....
Obviously it doesn't apply to everyone. And if it may or does it's just a reminder.

Isn't the spoiler policy here two weeks? And it's been more than two weeks since Abyss came out, let alone Omen and Outcast.
As one who collects the paperbacks, I can sympathize, but spoilers are the risk you take when you wait for paperbacks but still frequent SW message boards. Fans are going to talk about the new stuff--no getting around that.

Two months. One week for Clone Wars episodes.

I found out about the higher price for the paperbacks -- yes, the Fate of the Jedi paperbacks will be $9.99 in the U.S. They're making the books a little larger and calling them "premium" paperbacks -- they're 3/4" taller and a touch wider. Seems to be the trend in paperbacks now. I don't know yet whether this change is for all our paperbacks, or just the FotJ ones...

I hope it's just FotJ paperbacks. How come some of the older paperbacks are 6.99, LotF and the newer ones are 7.99, and now we've got these "premium paperbacks" for 9.99?
