Indeed, when they don't Luke pwnzors the bad guys in about 10 minutes. He led the charge through Shimarra's palace and killed him personally, he's not easy to fight.

*Yawn* What, you mean there's still a story to be written about? Jeez! Let it go! There's nothing else to write. Just say there's peace in the galaxy. Sure it's boring, but quite frankly, at this point in time, I really really don't care anymore.

He is basically the Chosen One, Model Two. He defeated even full-power Palpatine in a direct match-up. He's so tough, its hard to imagine him losing to anyone without a handicap.

It's almost over? Wonderful. Does anyone know how it's sold?

Not a bad cover, although her arm/lightsaber position looks a bit akward. I guess if its in a downward stabbing motion... but she looks like she's left herself open for a quick slash to the gut.

Who's that in the front? It almost looks like Luke, from the hair texture and style.

I was thinking the same thing; it does look less like Jacen's portrayal on the covers to Betrayal and Revelation and more like Luke.

From what I hear, KT continues to change characteristics and even established continuity. Some for no apparant reason at all.


Oh and apparantly, Daala is now competent and DaalaxBoba=True.

Indeed she is. As a reminder, we have a thread on Revelation here.

From reading over at the TFN forums, it seems as if LFL has made a few "retconns" to make it fit (such as a revision of the Pellaeon's age. Apparently, Chee now says that he was born in 57 BBY instead of 52 BBY and a whole slew of retconns on Fenn Shysa's and Boba Fett's backstory which will be revealed in Traviss's RC:O66).

EDIT: Traviss has also retconned Abel Peña's article The History of the Mandalorians from Insider #80.

What I wonder is whether the fans will A) see through the BS or B) Make up all kinds of silly rationalizations (which the Fandalorians are doing).

I think that QuentinGeorge posted a fitting image over at TFN to illustrate the EU continuity: The sinking of the Titanic.

Any sales figures been released yet for the series?
