“Heist” by Timothy Zahn

The latest edition of Star Wars Insider includes “Heist”, a short story by Timothy Zahn that precludes the events of his upcoming novel, Scoundrels. Like Winner Lose All, this story features a few of the scoundrels, in this case it’s just Tavia and Bink Kitik. In “Heist”, the twin sisters work a con on a wealthy individual named Christoff. The heist takes place on a starliner cruise, and while brief, it does help introduced the new characters. Bink is a bit of a troublemaker, while her sister Tavia is the more ethical one. Tavia is also good with electronics.

If you don’t have a subscription to Star Wars Insider but would still like to check out Timothy Zahn’s new short story “Heist”, then don’t forget that you can use the Zinio Digital Magazines’ previewer. Follow the link, click on the cover of Star Wars Inisder 138, and flip through the magazine to page 48. Remember, you only get three zoom ups, so use them wisely. It’s just enough to check out the new story and the artwork by Brian Rood.

Star Wars Insider #135 splashes the cover with some iconic characters as it kicks off a look back at 30 years of videogames. From Atari to The Old Republic, there’s quite a  collection of highlights. Beyond gaming, there’s an interview with The Clone Wars line producer Athena Portillo. Tricia Barr (FANgirl Blog) also has the honor of interview author Aaron Allston on his upcoming novel X-Wing: Mercy Kill. Aaron talks about Piggy, the new Yuuzhan Vong member of Wraith Squadron, and how he uses of humor in his books. I really liked the X-Wing art they used to illustrate the interview (which also includes a brief history of the X-Wing series). While the images aren’t new, they still look awesome.

Star Wars Books posted yesterday on Facebook about some of the free goodies they’ll have available at San Diego Comic Con 2012, Star Wars Celebration VI, and New York Comic Con 2012. They included a picture which shows a pretty cool iron on Mercy Kill patch, and the cover for a sample book.

The 84 page sample book will include excerpts from all of the Star Wars novels released by Del Rey in 2012. According to Del Rey, this includes everything “from Darth Plagueis to Scoundrels” which would be Darth Plagueis, Fate of the Jedi: Apocalypse, Lost Tribe of the Sith: The Collected Stories, Scourge, X-Wing: Mercy Kill, The Old Republic: Annihilation, and Scoundrels. Of even greater interest is that it will also include the short stories published in Star Wars Insider magazine during 2011. If you get the chance, be sure to pick one up.

UPDATE: They’ll also be giving away Scoundrels book marks.
