Then, back on Taris, Zayne finds himself allied with Master Raana Tey in a mission against the marauding Mandalorians--but Tey may be more interested in destroying Zayne than she is in saving the planet!

US book (fiction): written by Ryder Windham

hardcover (224 pages), Scholastic, ISBN 0-545-08559-4, coverprice: $ 15.99

description: Overlooked as a Padawan, he was to become one of the most revered Masters of all.

Sworn to serve the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, his own apprentice would bring about their destruction.

Powerless to retrieve Darth Vader from the dark side, he would train the only one who could.

NYT bestselling author Ryder Windham brings together Obi-Wan's full life story, from his first meeting with Qui-Gon to his final meeting with Darth Vader--and beyond.

from starwars.com: For younger readers, Scholastic Inc. is giving Obi-Wan Kenobi the similar biography treatment they gave Darth Vader recently, with Star Wars: The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi. This unique examination of the six-part movie saga centers around Obi-Wan, and his evolving role as Jedi, General, hermit and mentor. It is written by Ryder Windham, with cover and slipcase art by Hugh Fleming. It is due out in October of 2008.

Star Wars: Rebellion # 16 (Vector: Part 8 of 12) (confirmed by Diamond Shipping List)

US comic: written by Rob Williams, art by Dustin Weaver, cover by Dan Scott

comic (40 pages), Dark Horse Comics, coverprice $ 2.99

solicitation copy: Darth Vader successfully lures Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia into a trap that could cripple the Rebel Alliance, as “Vector”—the most important Star Wars event of 2008—concludes its third arc, setting the stage for the final galaxy-shaking showdown in Star Wars: Legacy!

On the dark surface of a desolate moon, Luke and Leia meet their first Jedi since Obi-Wan Kenobi, only to realize too late this Knight of the Old Republic is far different than their fallen friend—twisted by the Sith’s Muur Talisman and enraged by Darth Vader! Together, Luke and Leia must make a choice with far-reaching consequences, not just for themselves, but for the fate of the entire galaxy!

Vector information from Dark Horse editor Randy Stradley at the Dark Horse Star Wars Boards (September 11, 2007):

“Anyway, here's the scoop on the "Vector" line-up (with no hints whatsoever about the story!): it begins in Knights of the Old Republic # 25 - 28. After that, the story thread jumps to Dark Times # 11 - 12, then Rebellion # 15 - 16, and finally wraps up in Legacy # 2 9- 32. Technically speaking, one needn't read any chapter in any series one doesn't ordinarily read. Each chapter is self-contained, and pertains primarily to the series in which it takes place. But the over-arcing story does have a beginning, middle, and end, and we're guessing most of you will want to read the whole thing.”

Star Wars: Coruscant Nights II: Street of Shadows

US book (fiction): written by Michael Reaves

paperback (368 pages), Del Rey, ISBN 0-345-47754-5, coverprice $ 7.99

note:  the worktitle for this book was Chiaroscuro

from starwars.com: With the Jedi all but wiped out in the grim aftermath of Order 66, the Empire's power seems unchecked. But one lone Knight continues to fight the good fight -- against all odds and when all else fails.

Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living as a private investigator; a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden. Now a mysterious Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with a case that needs to be cracked: to find out who killed her artist lover Volette, brutally murdered hours after his triumphant unveiling of a dazzling new light sculpture with obvious links to lightsaber pyrotechnics.

Finding Volette's killer won't be easy -- too many secrets, too many suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQ's help, and ex-reporter Den Dhur's excellent snooping skills, the investigation is soon operating like a well-oiled machine.

Unfortunately, there's a far more efficient machine hunting Jax. It's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the clock starts ticking toward the final explosive showdown . . . to see who strikes first and who will die first.

Don't miss these adventures in the Coruscant Nights series by Michael Reaves from Del Rey Books. Book two, Street of Shadows, is scheduled for release this September.

Star Wars: The Dark Lord Trilogy (Labyrinth of Evil / Revenge of the Sith / Dark Lord)

US book (reprints): written by James Luceno and Matthew Stover

omnibus (1104 pages), Del Rey, ISBN 0-345-48538-0, coverprice: $ 20.00

from randomhouse.com: For the first time in one thrilling volume, three novels–Labyrinth of Evil, Revenge of the Sith, and Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader–that follow an epic chain of events: the last days of the Republic, the creation of the Empire, and the ultimate transformation of Jedi Anakin Skywalker into the notorious Darth Vader.

On the planet Neimoidia, Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker seize an unexpected prize: intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces to the ever-elusive Darth Sidious, who is ruthlessly orchestrating a campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces. As combat escalates across the galaxy, and Darth Sidious remains one step ahead of his pursuers, the stage is set for an explosive endgame. Tormented by unspeakable visions, Anakin edges closer to the brink of a galaxy-shaping decision, while Darth Sidious plots to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic–and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.

Once the most powerful Knight ever known to the Jedi Order, Anakin becomes Darth Vader, a disciple of the dark side, a lord of the dreaded Sith, and the avenging right hand of the galaxy’s ruthless new Emperor. As a few surviving Jedi lead a charge on a Separatist stronghold, the deadliest threat still rests in the swift and lethal crimson lightsaber of Darth Vader–behind whose brooding mask lies a shattered heart, a poisoned soul, and a cunning, twisted mind hell-bent on vengeance.

For the handful of scattered Jedi hunted across space, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy reclaimed.
LABYRINTH OF EVIL

comments by Tom Hodges from darkhorse.com: Lucas Online had me put together a 13 page web comic that would DEFINITELY fall under “Infinities”!

starwars.com opening crawl: The Jedi of old knew the universe to be boundless, and that the Force itself twists and winds through innumerable corridors. Through the Force, a skilled Jedi could see visions of other worlds, other futures, and infinite possibilities. It was a talent available to the Sith as well.

A formerly forbidden area of space, deep within the Cowl Crucible has drawn the attention of smugglers and thieves who discovered trace deposits of rare and valiable cortosis within. A world full of such riches must lie somewhere inside the nebula, waiting to be exploited, but none seem to have the navigational skills required to penetrate the luminous veil. Only through the Force could such a hazard be braved...

The Art and Making of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

US book: written by Haden Blackman and Brett Rector, foreword by Hayden Christensen

softcover (224 pages), Insight Editions, ISBN 1-933784-25-3, coverprice $ 29.95

description: The Star Wars saga continues! The Force Unleashed: Art of the Game chronicles the four-year development of the anxiously awaited, action-packed video game (releasing April 2008) developed by LucasArts from conception to completion. The book reveals innovative game design concept and images, three-dimensional renders, and behind-the-scenes photos. The Force Unleashed game casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the unexplored era between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The game re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of new technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time, such as Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) by Pixelux Entertainment and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd., paired with the powerful Havok Physics (TM) system. These new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consiles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of objects in the environment so that every element reacts exactly as it should--wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, Felucian plants bend in their unique way, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act, and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior and resulting in a different response every single time. Well before its release, The Force Unleashed game is already buzzing on blogs and gamer websites, at gamer conferences, and among Star Wars fans. LucasArts is fully backing the promotion of the game to the tens of millions of Star Wars fans around the world.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

US book (fiction): written by Sean Williams

hardcover (336 pages), Del Rey, ISBN 0-345-49902-8, coverprice $ 26.00

from randomhouse.com: “The Sith always betray one another... I’m sure you’ll learn that soon enough.”

The overthrow of the Republic is complete. The Separatist forces have been smashed, the Jedi Council nearly decimated, and the rest of the Order all but destroyed. Now absolute power rests in the iron fist of Darth Sidious–the cunning Sith lord better known as the former Senator, now Emperor, Palpatine. But more remains to be done. Pockets of resistance in the galaxy must still be defeated and missing Jedi accounted for... and dealt with. These crucial tasks fall to the Emperor’s ruthless enforcer, Darth Vader. In turn, the Dark Lord has groomed a lethal apprentice entrusted with a top-secret mission: to comb the galaxy and dispatch the last of his masters’ enemies, thereby punctuating the dark side’s victory with the Jedi’s doom.

Since childhood, Vader’s nameless agent has known only the cold, mercenary creed of the Sith. His past is a void; his present, the carrying out of his deadly orders. But his future beckons like a glistening black jewel with the ultimate promise: to stand beside the only father he has ever known, with the galaxy at their feet. It is a destiny he can realize only by rising to the greatest challenge of his discipleship: destroying Emperor Palpatine.

The apprentice’s journeys will take him across the far reaches of the galaxy, from the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk to the junkyard planet of Raxus Prime. On these missions, the young Sith acolyte will forge an unlikely alliance with a ruined Jedi Master seeking redemption and wrestle with forbidden feelings for his beautiful comrade, Juno Eclipse. And he will be tested as never before–by shattering revelations that strike at the very heart of all he believes and stir within him long-forgotten hopes of reclaiming his name... and changing his destiny.

Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Dawn of Defiance Campaign Part 7:

A Reckoning of Wraiths

US RPG campaign: : written by Rodney Thompson, designed by Rodney Thompson

PDF-file, Wizards of the Coast, download free

description: The Dawn of Defiance campaign is a series of 10 downloadable adventures using the Saga Edition rules. The adventures can be played individually, but when played in order, they form a complete campaign with a story arc that takes players from 1st level to 20th level. Each adventure will be the equivalent of a 32-page printed product and will advance the heroes two levels.

More importantly, the Dawn of Defiance campaign is a chance to experience the Star Wars Roleplaying Game in a new and exciting way. The campaign lets players grow as heroes from the lowliest beginnings to galaxy-influencing greatness. It also gives us the opportunity to show people what a Saga Edition campaign might look like and help Gamemasters provide an exciting game experience across many levels. The Dawn of Defiance campaign is our chance to provide an iconic Star Wars Roleplaying Game experience that can be shared across the community.

The campaign utilizes the new Saga rules system. Although is set in the tumultuous time between Episodes III and IV, it does not have a connection to The Force Unleashed storyline, but is a separate entity.

Information from the Wizards panel at Celebration IV: The 10-part Dawn of Defiance campaign is to be published on the website of Wizards of the Coast. Each of the 10 parts will feature the equivalent to 32 pages of content, with the entire campaign being similar to a 320-page book.

adventure outline (contains spoilers for non-Gamemasters!): After transmitting their knowledge of the project to Senator Organa’s agents, the heroes are instructed to make contact with a group of loyalists in Coruscant’s seedy underbelly. When they arrive at the meeting location, however, they discover that the loyalists are all dead. The heroes return to their safe house—only to fall into a trap set by the Empire! Fighting their way back to their ship, the heroes find the hangar being defended by a massive AT-AT. They must bring the AT-AT down (using whatever means necessary) before they can board their ship.

Blasting their way out of Coruscant, the heroes arrive at a rendezvous point where a Nebulon-B frigate (the Resurgence) waits for them. Unfortunately, when they arrive, they learn that the trap was sprung not only on them but also on their allies. As an Imperial Star Destroyer pounds on the Resurgence’s shields, the heroes board the Nebulon-B and try to rescue survivors. Battling an Imperial boarding party on the ship, they fight their way to the main launch bay just in time to see Inquisitor Draco—apparently still alive after the confrontation on Almas, and now cybernetically enhanced—dragging Master Denia into his shuttle.

As Draco blasts off, the heroes must flee the crumbling ship and make their way into hyperspace. Worse, as they blast their way free of the exploding Resurgence, they discover the architect of their betrayal: Admiral Varth. They receive a transmission from the Admiral aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer, who reveals that he has merely been trying to uncover Organa’s treachery all along. The heroes manage to escape the Empire, but only after suffering grievous losses.
