Where to start, well, Dave Filoni is back at it with the TIE fighters. Some sites think this could be research for a new television series, however we have it on good authority that this is simply the first in a new series of toys from Hasbro. Expect to see Filoni fighters on toy shelves early next year. Continue Reading Around the Web…

Dark Horse Comics recently revealed that artist Livio Ramondelli we’ll be diving into the Legacy series to tackle the covers for Legacy #6 and Legacy #7. Below you’ll find our interview with Livio as he talks about creating the covers, his favorite Star Wars characters and more. Plus we have an exclusive first look at the cover of Legacy #7 courtesy of Dark Horse Comics.

How did you get the offer to do Star Wars covers for Dark Horse Comics?

Livio Ramondelli: It was very random and very lucky! I attend a bunch of comic conventions and I was sitting at my Artist Alley table when the great Randy Stradley happened to walk by and take my card. A few days later, I got an E-Mail asking if I’d be interested in doing some covers. It was very surreal, since Randy was someone I’d always hoped to meet one day and the idea of it happening so completely casually was pretty funny. Needless to say, I’m thrilled to be doing Star Wars covers for Dark Horse. It’s a real dream come true. And I also encourage anyone interested in doing comics professionally to go to conventions and set up shop at a table, regardless if you have any current professional gigs or not. More eyes on your work is always a good thing and you never know who can walk by. Continue Reading Our Interview with Cover Artist Livio Ramondelli…

Jedi News posted their interview with Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void author Tim Lebbon covering his new Star Wars book.

Lanoree Brock is your main protagonist in Into the Void. can you tell us something about her and her history, without giving anything away of course!

TL: Lanoree Brock is a Je’daii Ranger, who spends much of her time travelling the Tythan system in her customised Peacemaker cruiser (faster engines, bigger guns). She’s strong and hard-headed, the daughter of two Je’daii Masters. But she is also occasionally troubled, and there’s conflict to her character as well. This becomes emphasised when she is sent on her mission in this novel … the conflict becomes externalised, and it quickly becomes the most complex, challenging mission she has ever undertaken.

Our Interview with Patricia A. Jackson

Back in the 1990s, there was a resurgence in Star Wars literature in the wake of Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy. In writing his books, Timothy Zahn utilized a lot of information from West End Games Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Eight months after the release of The Last Command, West End Games launched their first Star Wars Adventure Journal, a trade paperback sized book full of information for the Star Wars RPG as well as numerous short stories. Patricia A Jackson was one of the writers chosen to supply some of those short stories. She ended up writing no less than nine short stories for the Star Wars Adventure Journal, two of which were reprinted in the Tales from the New Republic and Tales from the Empire anthologies. In addition to those stories, Patricia also wrote the West End Games sourcebook The Black Sands of Socorro.

I had a lot of fun interviewing Patricia on her work for the Star Wars Adventure Journal and West End Games. It’s a time in Star Wars when things were very different from how they are now, but no less enjoyable. Without further ado, here is our interview with Patricia A. Jackson.

‘Book of Sith’ Interview with Daniel Wallace

Suvudu has posted an interview with Book of Sith author Daniel Wallace that’s worth a look.

After writing this book, do you have a favorite Sith Lord?

Daniel Wallace: The in-universe writers of Book of Sith are the ancient sorceress Sorzus Syn, the battlefield tactician Darth Malgus, the stoic warrior Darth Bane, the wicked shaman Mother Talzin, the mad scientist Darth Plagueis, and Emperor Palpatine himself. I needed to find a distinct voice for each one of these authors, and the one I got the most kick out of writing was Plagueis. He’s a Sith Lord dedicated to the pursuit of science, and it was a lot of fun to explore how much of the Force is knowable and how much lies in the realm of mysticism and the supernatural.
