Starting off, Kathleen Kennedy told ABC News Radio that we can expect some news on Episode VII next month. “I have no immediate update, but hopefully in January I’ll have something that I can say.” Pre-production for the film is also set for Spring of next year.

In lit news, author Sean Williams has a new story out in the December issue of Cosmos Magazine entitled “The Missing Metatarsul.”

“It’s a mystery set in the future brought to the attention of two new recurring characters, PK Sargent and “Inspector” Forest, both of whom are unique in their own ways. It’s set in the same universe as Twinmaker, my first YA SF novel due November 2013.” -Sean Williams

In other news, Agent of the Empire cover artist Stephane Roux went on a rampage in Paris. According to officials he declared, “I am the French Wookiee! Hear me roar!” Shortly afterwards, this picture was taken.

Lightsaber Rattling Interview with Chris Trevas

Lightsaber Rattling posted an interview with Chris Trevas, one of the artists for Star Wars: The Essential Reader’s Companion. The interview covers everything from Chris’ illustration methods to his favorite pieces.

It looks like the folks at Del Rey kept you busy on The Essential Reader’s Companion, by my count you have 23 illustrations in the book. Out of those, is there one piece that stands out as your favorite?

CT: It’s tough to pick just one. They were all pretty fun for different reasons. The piece showing Lando escorting Luke, Han and Chewie onto the skiff at Jabba’s was fun since it’s a scene taking place within the classic movie timeline, but not shown on screen. Those are my favorite pieces to do. I also like to illustrate the Millennium Falcon’s history so I enjoyed painting young Han from the Han Solo Adventures.

MintInBox.Net posted an interview with Star Wars artist Chris Trevas. The interview covers Chris’ background, how he got started in Star Wars, his techniques, his favorite project, and a wide range of other topics. It’s a fairly long interview and worth checking out. There are also plenty of pictures to go along with the interview.

Do you have any preferred artist amongst others? Maybe a specific illustration of him?

CT: Ralph McQuarrie and Drew Struzan were my two biggest influences starting out as an artist. I grew up admiring their work as a Star Wars fan and I’ve been fortunate to meet them both during my career. All my friends in the Star Wars art community continue to inspire me as well.
