Update: Author Alex Irvine has a new blog post, clarifying his previous statement that Mandorla was the tentative title of the Nomi Sunrider novel.
I see that my maundering about a possible title for the Star Wars book has caused more of a ripple than I’d expected, or intended. Just so we’re clear: That’s not anything like a final title. That was me thinking out loud. No telling yet what the final title of the book will be. Apologies if I’ve given a different impression…
Original Article:
Alex Irvine, author of the upcoming Nomi Sunrider novel, has revealed the tentative title for the book on his blog.
The Star Wars novel, tentatively titled Mandorla, is now scheduled for December 2011
The meaning of Mandorla in the Star Wars universe is already being debated.
According to Wikipedia, “a Mandorla is a Vesica Piscis shaped aureola which surrounds the figures of Christ and the Virgin Mary in traditional Christian art…In various religions the almond seed has been associated with divine virgin birth.” It is also described as “an ancient symbol of two circles coming together, overlapping one another to form an almond shape in the middle…The Mandorla is also known as the “Vesica Piscis” symbolizing the interactions and interdependence of opposing worlds and forces.”
Many fans have already begun speculating that Mandorla has some kind of relation to Mandalorians. I have emailed Sue Rostoni about the title, and we may get some more information by Tuesday.
Mandorla is set to be released on December 31, 2011. It is set just before The Knights of the Old Republic storyline.

good title so far.reveals more on the mandolorians. but i would like to read about Nomi Sunrider as i did on the KOTOR comics.
I just want a good KOTOR story I see Nomi Sunrider as the original Batila Shan she was the first Jedi I remember using Battle Meditation and I read that Vama was orignally suposed to play the role Bastila did in KOTOR Vama is way under used we know very little about her bejond that she has a long bloodline that goes all the way to the Dark Empire era and I know she was trained by fallen Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma but little more then that I hope this book is goood and I wonder how it ties into the era of the second Jedi Civil War
