Was the LTOTS series really that popular, or is it coming from the need to resolve the story, flesh it out? _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

I really rather like the idea, and I hope we'll see more of it in the future. There are plenty of comics I'd love to see get moved over to novels, and plenty of books that I'd love to see realized in the visual medium.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come with the comics and nvoels working more closely together to flesh things out in different eras rather than going their own ways with things.

Taral-DLOS EUC Staff Joined: 23 Nov 2010 Posts: 1237 Location: Ontario, Canada I'm looking forward to this. Frankly, I've always been curious about how Keshiri looked (I get the whole lavender-skinned thing, but a picture is worth 1,000 words). Hey, and good news for the artist: the trope of women in comic books being uber-sexed and beautiful-beyond-the-norm would work well here. The Lost Tribe is known for valuing physical beauty to the extreme. _________________ It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth… the year of great sadness… the year of pain… and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed. The year is 2261. The place: Babylon 5.

Plus its one of the few stories that will be wholly about the Dark Side users and not really Jedi. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

The cover the first issue by Paul Renaud, at right, depicts Takara — a protector of law and order for the Tribe on Kesh — and Spinner, anarchist leader of a band of outlaws. If he can't rule the Tribe, he'll bring it down! As you can see, we'll be visiting locales on Kesh we've never seen before. Andrea Mutti from Knights of the Old Republic - War will be giving us our first looks at everything in the prose stories from Keshiri to uvak. We've worked to design a complete fantasy world. It's Star Wars through a different lens — no technology, very little metal, and no Jedi! There will be some big surprises, some building upon clues already in the prose stories. Kesh may not be quite as isolated from the rest of the galaxy as we thought... _________________ Observation: Life would be cooler if everyone spoke like HK-47.

And if he's a native... suddenly, he looks a whole lot more lavender to me.
