I interviewed Martha Wells, the author for the Leia book in the Rebels series. She spoke a little bit about it.
| Quote: |
You’ve been signed on to write a Star Wars novel about Leia in the upcoming Rebels series. As a hero in her own right, how do you see her in comparison to Luke?
MW: Her time in the senate, her training, the other things she’s done for the Alliance before A New Hope, have made her a lot more experienced than he is. He learns fast, but I also think her experiences, particularly Alderaan, have made her much more mature.
How were you approached to do the novel?
MW: My agent was approached, and asked to suggest some of her clients who might be interested, and I was one of the people she suggested.
You’ve mentioned that the book will have a lot of Leia’s point-of-view. Was is a challenge to get into her mindset?
MW: Not really. I think the key to her character is her sense of responsibility, for the Alliance, for everyone fighting for it, for the remnants of Alderaan. I see her as a lead-from-the-front, the-buck-stops-here kind of person. |
You can check out the full interview here. I talked to her about her Raksura novels, Star Wars fan fiction, and a little Stargate.
