	Aaron Allston FAQ (Star Wars Novels)
		When I began working on this project and coordinating with Mike, his idea was that I do my three novels on the exploits of Hobbie, Janson, and one of their squadrons, all of which would take place at the same time as the events of the first four novels in the Star Wars: X-Wing series.
		At that point, I could have switched over to spotlighting Rogue Squadron, but I'd already developed a certain affection for the characters and events of the story I'd already outlined — I simply didn't want to abandon them.
		Bantam, the previous license-holder, chose to tap writers who already have a number of science fiction and/or fantasy novels in print, the better to have an idea of their writing skills and reliability; the writers Del Rey is contracting suggests that Del Rey follows the same policy.

	Aaron Allston FAQ (Star Wars Novels)
		Well, since Hobbie appears in the X-Wing: Rogue Squadron comics from Dark Horse, and those stories take place after Return of the Jedi and before the start of the novel Rogue Squadron, that's not something I have to worry about; obviously, he survived.
		At one point in the novel, he is asked his age, and says 28, but he's looking forward just a little bit.
		Many readers have noted that in the novelization of The Empire Strikes Back, Hobbie crashes his snowspeeder into an Imperial walker and dies.

		Undermanned, deprived of Alliance support, Rogue Squadron must oppose Isard's plans, defeat her Star Destroyer fleet, and free Thyferra from her rule in a winner-take-all battle against a seemingly superior force.
		The final installment of the X-Wing series pits the Rogue Squadron against the powerful fleet of the tyrant Ysanne Isard, who plans to destroy the New Republic using medicinal bacta from the planet Thyferra.
		The Bacta War was the first X-Wing novel I ever read.

		In this case, one of my references to Hobbie indicated he was dark-haired, and for some reason that's the one that imprinted itself on my memory.

		As for the possibility of there being a new major novel set in there somewhere, nothing is planned for the next few years, but Tatooine Ghost proved that the Post-RotJ era is still fertile ground.
		Head here for a complete listing of all the literature that's currently set in that era; there's a whole slew of great short stories, comic tales, and so on to choose from.

	Amazon.co.uk: I, Jedi (Star Wars S.): Books
		Michael A Stackpole is an award-winning computer game designer and a New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty science fiction and fantasy books, including the five bestselling Star Wars X-Wing titles (Rogue Squadron, Wedge's Gamble, The Krytos Trap, The Bacta War and Isard's Revenge) and the stand-alone Star Wars novel I, Jedi.
		Mike Stackpole is undoubtedly the best Star Wars author (yes he's better than Tim Zahn), and this is undoubtedly the best book with the Star Wars name on it, if not the best book I've ever read.
		Heroic Jedi warrior Luke Skywalker takes on the training of a young X-Wing pilot, Corran Horn, who is facing the challenge of coming to terms with his Jedi heritage and learning to use the force, without succumbing to the temptation of the dark side.

	Amazon.com: Books: Star Wars: Shadow Of The Empire (Star Wars (Dark Horse))
		Fortunately, the locations were pretty good, but where this comic shined were the spacefights, dogfights which would do a Rogue Squadron comic proud.
		Whereas the Shadows of the Empire novel was focused on the normal character, the Rebels and Vader and the new Xizor, the comic's point of view is mainly that of the scum of the galaxy, the bounty hunters and Jabba and his goons.
		Xizor has risen to lead Black Sun which has thrived since Darth Maul wiped out the old leadership.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Human Target
		Edvin Biukovic, the artist on the graphic novel, passed away but left a body of work as his legacy that includes: STAR WARS-THE LAST COMMAND, STAR WARS: X-WING ROGUE SQUADRON THE PHANTOM AFFAIR, GRENDEL TALES: DEVILS AND DEATHS.
		Biukovic was as at home with penciling action scenes as he was in penciling simple scenes such as when Becky McFadden was talking with Chance and hanging out her laundry.
		Biukovic's art is phenomenal, an array of lights and darks and fiery colors that dropkick images and action from the pages.

	Star Wars Board Novel Reviews
		With their assembly, Rogue Squadron sets in motion a series of missions that will ultimately lead them to Imperial Center, Coruscant, held by the evil Ysanne Isard (the Ice Queen).
		Seriously, I have the suspicion that all these people who say Shadows is the best EU novel just haven't read anything else of merit.
		Yeah, this was probably the weakest in the series, but the bits when the Rogues infiltrated Coruscant were well-done portayals of Imp culture.

		My ultimate EU project would be having Stackpole write for the Rogue Squadron TV series.

		It's "not my thing," but he does what he does well, so it's hard to complain.

	Novel Ideas - X-Wing: The Krytos Trap
		This book moves us through several story arcs within the overall series; Horn's emnity with Loor, Horn's heritage, the traitor in Rogue Squadron and so on.
		Tycho Chelchu stands trial for Horn's murder, and treason against the New Republic- Horn's former CorSec partner heads the investigation, and although the Rogues are all behind Tycho the evidence is not in his favour.
		In the climax of the book, two mid-ranking villains are killed, Horn escapes the Lusankya with shocking ease and discovers more of his "secret Jedi heritage"(tm), and the identity of the traitor is revealed.

		However, Ysanne Isard is swiftly cementing her control of the Empire and sends the brutal Admiral Delak Krennel to trap the Rogues on Ciutric.

		Some nice battles, with Wedge Antiles and Rogue Squadron taking part, plus most of the other characters from the films turning up in support.
		Set in the period between the capture of Han Solo and his rescue from Jabba, this novel concentrates on the conflict for Emperor Palpatine's favour between Darth Vader and the reptilian Prince Xizor.
		While a little cool, the sunny day (like all the others) made walking a pleasure.
