Some comedic characters would be fun, but this was a dark 5 year period and I don't think they want to completely undermine that. If they had something like KotOR with darker feels from Legacy, I think the series could be great. _________________ "Changes are nice--but so is continuity!" "Then you saved my life. How disgusting.

It was grim, but very dramatic, and I thought it worked. But overall, the series is just a bit much. _________________

Aush Administrator Joined: 12 Nov 2007 Posts: 980 Location: Midwest, USA Newsarama.com has an interview with Randy Stradley that includes a few new images from Star Wars: Invasion. This cover looking image is beautiful for any fan of the NJO series: I love seeing all the different ships and the World Ship hidden in the back. Also were these images: The first one is great to see more Yuuzhan Vong, but does anyone else get reminded about War of the Worlds with the second image? Anyway, the one problem I have is this series will alternate on the release schedule with Dark Times: one will run for five months than go on hiatus for the other one to run for five months then it goes on hiatus. I'm sure if this series gets very popular, they'll change the release schedule, but at least this will be nice for the check book _________________ "Changes are nice--but so is continuity!"

I, personally, thought it was Jacen. _________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin. New to the forums? Introduce yourself in the Spaceport! Need help?

Caedus_16 Master Joined: 15 Apr 2008 Posts: 4402 Location: Korriban I agree Mara and SoS. That looks like Jacen to me. In fact, it really looks absolutely nothing like Luke in the face... _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Aush Administrator Joined: 12 Nov 2007 Posts: 980 Location: Midwest, USA When I first saw it, it really looked like Zayne from the KotOR series. I don't see Luke in it, but the interior art is done by someone else than the covers. _________________ "Changes are nice--but so is continuity!" "Then you saved my life. How disgusting.
