Book Spot Central’s Jay Tomio recently sat down with author Joe Schreiber’s upcoming Star Wars novel Deathtroopers, which is also his first venture into the galaxy far, far away. Here’s an excerpt:
Jay Tomio - Your forthcoming contribution to the Star Wars EU, Deathtroopers, has the tag of being a bit of a Star Wars ‘horror’ novel. Looking at the films from the perspective of not only an observer, but as an observer with a horror perspective what is the most horrifying moment in Star Wars?
Joe Schreiber - Certainly to a child’s eye, the first appearance of Darth Vader is a terrifying moment — his towering, unrelenting blackness, the soulless skull-like design of his face, and perhaps worst of all the constant respiratory gasp of machinery compensating for the maimed thing that lurks inside his armor. I’ve heard Vader’s uniform described as a kind of walking coffin, and it’s a perfect description. I think it summarizes why his presence — so familiar now after thirty-plus years — was so immediately chilling back then.
The full interview can be found here. Deathtroopers is slated for release on October 27, 2009.
