EU fans have a long wait til Timothy Zahn's Next Star Wars novel comes out in 2011. ( I changed the thread a bit to include other upcoming EU)

It will be set during the original trilogy supposedly between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and feature Vader and Palpatine, The Emperor's Hand Mara Jade and possibly thrawn as well. and those rogue 501st troopers mara jade let escape are supposed to be in it as well.

Too bad to get some old school EU star wars goodness we have to wait years like waiting for the next star wars movie was back in the day,lol.

I had hoped Stovers Shadows of Mindor was just that a return to the old star wars classic era too bad it kinda sucked and was to me 50% good and 50% shit or filler and was clearly rushed.

The last Zahn novel even had a cameo of Stacey aka pink five,lol.

You know who i wish they would get to Return to star wars, Michael A. Stackpole who wrote most of the x-wing series before Allston took over, which was awesome and one of the best star wars novels I, Jedi.

The next Fate of the Jedi called Omen is by another star wars firstling, Christie Golden who had written novels for star trek voyager.  She was the one who originally wrote the rebirth of voyager.  I quite enjoyed those novels though some trekkies hated them.

Now omen which they have tried to keep the story secret to is supposed to be dark and sith heavy.  They probably would have tapped Drew Karpshynn but he is writing the third bane novel to be released in november and currently at work on mass effect 2.

Plus the first star wars adult horror novel death troopers comes out sometime this year.  This is not the first horror star wars series though years ago there was a young readers line which was basically the star wars version of R.L. Stine.  Not sure if i spelled his name right,lol.

Not sure if i should start my own book review thread.  I have to read the first 2 bane novels i never read them, and i still have yet to read the coruscant nights trilogy.

This means that the EU can be good again! Zahn previously said that Allegiance would be his last SW novel. This will be worth the wait.

As for me, I had high hopes for Shadows of Mindor and was disappointed.

Long live Han Solo at Star's End!
