You and I are going to have to disagree on this. There are many MANY ways to write interesting stories told about a war. Doesn't have to be told from Ackbar or Pellaeon's perspectives (though I'd find that quite interesting).

DIdn't even think of this when I first posted. Also a fan. That would be exactly what I was thinking towards though. Great way to add new characters, and still flesh out some of the majors.
Good thinking.

Personally, I'm liking the idea of something like Legacy, bu... Let's set something in the future of Star Wars that isn't saddled by any sort of prior continuity ...but also is completely detached by what preceded it....
nstead, go with a tabula rasa. Set it a few thousand years in the future....It doesn't need a Skywalker or need to mention Anakin Skywalker. |
While I agree with that last sentence, I disagree with the rest. I prefer things to attempt to connect together in some form or other. Even Legacy was pushing it for me. I dislike the future of a story being defined before you write it. (and no, the Prequels don't count because they come before the original story - its different if its new)

Karrde has just never interested me. I find him boring.
And for some reason the criminal-with-a-heart-of-gold thing rubs me the wrong way. Not sure why. |
I don't dislike him, but he's not compelling. A great 2nd string character, not great to build a novel around IMHO.
