Just edited a short story that will appear in Star Wars Insider #134. You'll wanna be sure to finish reading APOCALYPSE before then. (FP)

Hoping for J/J but preparing for something lame like the inside thoughts of Vestara. It's got to be J/J's wedding, right? -------------------- If Del Ray had their wish, Jaina and other females would be in the kitchen making uber Jedi Ben a sandwich.

A lot of bookstores have them, and you can also order direct from Titan Magazines. -------------------- "Okay, if you're going to question the importance of an actor's signature on a plastic helmet from a movie based on a comic book, then all of our lives have no meaning." ~ The Big Bang Theory

Nice update from SWB on FB

QUOTE

From time to time we're going to update you on some of what is happening behind the scenes in the Del Rey offices for the Star Wars Expanded Universe books you love. While we can't reveal all the details and everything we're busy working on, we hope that these brief notes will keep you satisfied in knowing that we're working hard to keep publishing the best Star Wars book and stories we can. So here's a bit of what we were up to last week (ES):
� Full Del Rey Star Wars editorial staff meeting to review and discuss the outline for an eagerly anticipated new duology.
� Frank Parisi edited a post FotJ Apocalypse short story featuring a fan favorite couple. The story will appear in SW Insider #134. Also brainstormed future SW Insider short story ideas and authors with editor-at-large Shelly Shapiro and editor Erich Schoeneweiss.
� We geeked out about the Maul/Obi-Wan duel in the season finale of The Clone Wars
� Erich worked on editing new material from author Pablo Hidalgo for The Essential Reader's Companion as well as coordinating art assignments for a new artist who has joined the book (will reveal soon).
� Read the newest issues of Dark Horse�s Dawn of the Jedi and Crimson Empire 3 comics (we�re big fans of the DH comics)
� Cover art director Scott Biel and artist Paul Youll worked on the characters that will appear on the back cover of Tim Zahn�s new novel, Star Wars: Scoundrels. Scott also hired a new cover artist for one of our 2013 books.
� Frank started a new SWEU project with an author who is new to the GFFA (and a big fan!)
� Big staff meeting with publicity and marketing to work on finalizing our plans and promotional material for SDCC, CVI, and NYCC this year.
� We all had a blast reading the great entries that were submitted for Club Jade's "Something big is coming from Del Rey� Let�s snark!" post. Yes fan sites, we read your posts.
� Discussed how we can get wampas into every one of our books (this is Frank�s current obsession).

So the fan favorite couple - Han/Leia, Corran/Mirax, or Jaina/Jag? Anyone else a possibility?

Imp Boy Group: Wraiths Posts: 6,496 Member No.: 10 Joined: 20-November 05	Well I remember that Jag was always referred as "fan favorite" by SW Insider ( I think I have that issue ). I think it's Jaina and Jag story. BTW why would they say that you need to finish FOTJ Apocalypse before reading this story? Hmm maybe it could be J/J trip to see Jag's family?

Lex Group: Moderator Posts: 9,398 Member No.: 2 Joined: 18-November 05	The sad thing is, they've killed off so many of the fan favorite couples -- Luke/Mara, Anakin/Tahiri, Jacen/Tenel Ka -- that Han/Leia and Jaina/Jag are really all they have left. I imagine it must be a story with them already married, which is why finishing Apocalypse is needed. Going to visit the Fels would be awesome. -------------------- "Okay, if you're going to question the importance of an actor's signature on a plastic helmet from a movie based on a comic book, then all of our lives have no meaning." ~ The Big Bang Theory

I want it to be Jaina/Jag, but am thinking Del Ray's yanking our chain and will be giving us something else. Probably Vestara. -------------------- We're the same thing, you and I.

Star Wars Books ‎@Luc: The first official story that takes place after FATE OF THE JEDI will be a short story in Star Wars Insider Magazine #134 (I believe it goes on-sale June 12). It will be about a certain couple on a very atypical honeymoon

(FP)

That's not even right. I just know it's going to be like Zekk/Taryn or something, because it's too obviously Jaina/Jag.
