I sure hope Traviss gets to write Vader into the story, I would love to see her take on the character.

I wonder if Delta Squad will become an Imperial Commando squad and will be working with the 501st in this book. That would be interesting. And it would be all too likely that Vader will be there leading from the front. A bit of a twist for Delta. First being led by Jedi, now being led by Sith. Who knows, Boba might even start showing up. _________________

In the two short stories In His Image and Two-Edged Sword, which can be found in the back of Betrayal. I just read them a couple nights ago and enjoyed them. It tells of the beginning of the beginning of the 501st. Interesting. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

And being the close minded, senseless Mando supporter that I am, I promise not to smash you with my curshgaunts if you aren't. _________________

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows I got the same impression, yeah. Hmm...so what is your opinion on the Mandalorians, Aush? We'll let you live, I suppose, as DS says. If you disagree. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

Aush Administrator Joined: 12 Nov 2007 Posts: 980 Location: Midwest, USA Well, since you promised to not hurt me, I'll share I did enjoy the first book but grew disappointed with how the Mandalorians were an extinct race that Boba Fett was shown rebuilding at the end of NJO. But then Karen was allowed to make them into a large, always-been-there group of people. I was disappointed by this. Now, I love Karen's style of writing because it is really character development driven, but how much the clones became Mandalorians, even the grunt clones, I'm disappointed that the mystery of the Mandalorians is entirely gone and I'm not all that happy with what we have. However, if you love the clones and Mandalorians, then I'm really glad for you. But I do wonder if we'll see more than just clones in the Imperial Commando books since Palpatine did start to recruit regular people into the Imperial ranks. We'll see what Karen has to say about that and if she'll play more with the continuity. And again, I really love Karen's style but not all that thrilled with the stories she tells with the Mandalorians. _________________ "Changes are nice--but so is continuity!" "Then you saved my life.

I grow so attached to things. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

I do want to reread the Republic Commando books, or at least True Colors since I bought that and its just been sitting on the book shelf. _________________ "Changes are nice--but so is continuity!"

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows I'd love to go back and reread them, but now isn't the time. I'm such a slow reader and I'm already having trouble keeping up as it is. Maybe Christmas break. Although by then I'll have Falcon and Shadows of Mindor to read.

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5756 Location: Missouri Yeah, his fate is undecided and no longer to be seen. Wonder if Delta Squad will get dropped too. I mean, they'd feature prominently in any Republic Commando game sequel as well. _________________
