‘Book of Sith’ Interview with Daniel Wallace
April 18, 2013 at 9:39 am | Posted in Books, Interview, Star Wars, Star Wars Books | Leave a commentTags: book of sith, 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.
