This comes from TFn. It seems Christie Golden has updated her blog here's a snippet of what she said:

"Last year Del Rey put out a nine-books series entitled “Legacy of the Force.” It was an ambitious and exciting undertaking-three authors, nine books, each author alternating. The three authors then were Troy, Aaron and Karen Traviss. If you look at Karen’s website you can see that she more than has her hands full with many other projects, including more Star Wars novels, and so when the opening came for this one, “Fate of the Jedi,” I got lucky enough to to be asked to step in.

And it’s been wonderful. My editor, Shelly Shapiro, is great to work with, and Sue Rostini over at Lucasfilms-indeed, everyone I have met there-has been fantastic about providing me with needed info about the expanded universe and seems very pleased that I’m on board. Troy and Aaron are of course veterans of the Star Wars EU, and they have made me feel very welcome and part of the team. In March, we all got together and worked the nuts and bolts of this huge story arc, and I have to tell you, I’m very, very excited about what’s in store for the readers. There are some wonderful things we’re going to share with you."

You can read the rest on her blog and we can discuss it at the link below:

To add to what Nom posted both EU Cantina and Club Jade are reporting that James Luceno's novel Millenium Falcon will include an excerpt for Fate of the Jedi: Outcast

Remember how a few weeks/months ago forumers found what seemed to be plot information on Fate of the Jedi on random German websites?

Well it appears that Random House's Spring catalogue confirms at least some of this information with some text on the forthcoming series:


Fate of the Jedi launches a huge story arc, with heroic roles for the galaxy’s most beloved characters - Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, and their surviving children, Ben Skywalker and Jaina Solo. While Luke and Ben set off on the journey of a lifetime - of discovery and hardship, of obstacles and victory - the others remain in more familiar territory, dealing with the aftermath of the civil war that rocked the galaxy in Legacy of the Force.

As always, discuss this latest news in our forums, particularly in this one here!

This comes from all over the internet and our own adult book schedule thread about a somewhat overlooked novel due for 2009.

Joe Schreiber announced in his blog that he will be penning a Star Wars horror story.



Enter the discussion below if you dare...

So the Official Site pulled a whammy and posted an article with some details regarding their new contract, specifically the years 2009 - 2011. In this article they've confirmed a timeline placement for the beginning of Fate of the Jedi and a title for book 2, revealed the return of a particular character for Blood Oath, and given us some tantalising details for new Karen Traviss titles, some new authors and the return of some old favourites. The future certainly looks interesting. I still don't have my Jacen Solo Force-trip hardcover-class novel, but hey, there's still 2012 and 2013.
