It's Mindor day!

And given that so many of you seem more excited for Mindor than the 2008 Holiday Season... I suspect book stores are going to be seeing a lot of Star Wars fans over the next couple of days.

Be sure to talk about the book on our forums once you've poured through it!

On behalf of myself and the staff of NJOE (even though I haven't consulted with the staff!) I'd like to wish everyone a happy holidays, however you celebrate it. I hope everyone has a good time and gets the chance to relax. See you in the new year (or technically before then) and here's to a joyous 2009!

Our own Max Jaybo has found some new info regarding the Fate of the Jedi series!!

From Sue's blog

March 24, 2009 - OUTCAST, by Aaron Allston. (Hardcover) This is the first book of the 9-book FATE OF THE JEDI hardcover series. In the two years following the death of Darth Caedus, the new Chief of State Daala considers the Jedi Knights as rogue soldiers too dangerous and unstable to leave unfettered. She has sworn to bring the Order under government control - or disband it entirely. In order to discover what when wrong with Jacen, Luke and Ben attempt to follow Jacen's previous journey in the hopes of discovering how the galaxy's other Force-using groups influenced him to accept and use dark side powers.

June 23, 2009 -- FATE OF THE JEDI: OMEN by Christie Golden. (Hardcover) The second book in the Fate of the Jedi series finds Luke and Ben in serious trouble. Well, pretty much everyone is in serious trouble. And then there's that scene at the zoo.......

August 28, 2009 -- FATE OF THE JEDI: ABYSS by Troy Denning. (Hardcover) In this third book, more trouble happens as well as some good times, and Ben Skywalker enjoys a dinner date.

December 29, 2009 -- BLOOD OATH, by Elaine Cunningham. (Paperback) Remember where we left Zekk at the end of the final battle in INVINCIBLE? This book begins with Zekk left spinning in his StealthX and follows his journey to rejoin the Jedi Order. But first..... well, it's all in the novel.

January 18, 2010 - FATE OF THE JEDI book 4 by Aaron Allston. (Hardcover) The story continues....

January 26, 2010 - CROSSCURRENT by Paul Kemp. (Paperback) This one stars Jaden Korr and probably a few Jedi and a few Sith. It sort of takes place during the Great Hyperspace War, and then sort of doesn't... well, you'll figure it out.

The NJOE Interview series pops up a second time during our month long celebration of the site 8th anniversary (November 24 - December 24) and we're proud to offer up an interview with Star Wars essential guide author and contributing author to the new edition of the Star Wars Encyclopedia, Dan Wallace. Wallace has written essential guides such as the both editions of the Chronology, New Guide to Characters, Guide to Planets and Moons, and Guide to Droids, in addition to a number of short stories, articles for the Star Wars: Insider magazine, and the forthcoming Star Wars Atlas. His complete bibliography can be found both here on his website and Wookieepedia. He also plays in universes such as Indiana Jones, Marvel, and DC.

Mr. Wallace has graciously agreed to give the NJOE readership some of his time to answer fan questions. Questions will be submitted via this thread only. Any questions (and any number of questions) are allowed to be submitted; nothing is off limits, but NJOE Administration will take all submissions and order them for pacing and removal of duplicates while also pruning out any inappropriate or unnecessary questions. Just because a question is submitted as part of the interview process does not mean that Mr. Wallace is required to answer it and has been given permission to remove questions at his discretion.

Question submission will be open until December 22nd at 11:59pm, NJOE time (US Central). Only questions submitted in the forum thread will be accepted. Message board registration is required but is free to all users. Any questions regarding the interview process should be asked through the Questions, Suggestions, and Feedback forum on the message boards.

TOS has posted the cover for Karen Traviss' No Prisoners, book 3 in the Clone Wars Saga!! See it here!

Otherwise enjoy the blurb!!

A training session turns into a full-scale hostile action when Anakin asks Rex to get Ahsoka out of his hair for a while. Rex, Ahsoka, and a squad of young clone troopers new to Torrent Company join Captain Gilad Pellaeon's assault ship Leveler, fresh out of refit, for a 72-hour acquaint. But an emergency tests their training as Leveler responds to a call for support from Master Djinn Altis -- leader of a dissident Jedi sect. The Leveler crew must rescue a captured Republic agent, whose undercover mission has been compromised. And for the first time, Ahsoka learns that war against the Separatists isn't just clone troopers against battle droids, and that sometimes the enemies are real living beings.
