I just cried a little. Tears of joy, of course. Great interview, Chris. Thanks for sharing.

-Mister Sinister

1) the imperial remnant dumping several tons of the assassin strain of nanokiller into the mandolarian atmosphere to get back at fett.. what happens to all the fett cloned blood (like Venku) who, at last word, were still on planet? I would assume they’re all dead, making the Mandos that much more ticked off at the remnant

2) Zekk’s complete disappearance (for as far as we know, he was never taught the force hiding technique).. which I will assume was perpetrated by the sith enclave we haven’t seen since Fury (i believe), and will make a re-appearance sometime down the line as the head of the expanded sith order, but thats just a guess on yours truly’s part

3) how did Tenel Ka and Allana manage to get off the Dragon Queen before the remnant commandos got on board with the nanokiller designed for the royal family? I don’t think Jacen’s (as Jaina was correct, he did become Jacen again that moment right before he died trying to warn them about the attempt on thier lives) dying warning would have gotten to them in time

4) most star wars writers make true beskar out to be the functional equal to marvel comic’s adamanatium, pretty much totally indestructable.. yet a whole lot of vessels made of the supposed indestructable metal (both the bessie fighters and the Tra’kads) get atomized and blaster bolts manage to penetrate body armor made of the stuff when a lightsaber strike barely scorches the stuff?

5) Daala as chief of state? I would’ve thought she would’ve been a better fit for Jag’s new role keeping the Moff Council in check (Karen even went as far as possibly suggesting that in Revelation when Admiral Pellaeon hinted her as the first female Moff.), but I digress as it will give Jag an expanded role in the EU as the books progress.

it will be intersting to see how the EU carries on from here..

1) How the Chiss ruling families react to Jag’s new position

2) How the hidden enclave of the new Sith Order (an aspect all 3 writers barely touched upon towards the end of the series) respond, presumably with thier new addition *see point 2 for reference*..

3) How long before the truth behind Allana’s “death” gets found out to be the lie it is (Jacen’s vision of an adult Allana on an ivory throne makes me think it’ll probably be around the time shes at least Ben’s age or so.. that would give them a decade of EU time to train her, etc)

4) somewhat related to point 2.. what does Daala as Chief of State mean for the Jedi Order.. in her speech at the and of the book, she hints that in a truly just government, the jedi wouldn’t be needed to resolve disputes. what becomes of them now then?

I’ll make sure to link to you guys at Jedi Blogger, cool site.

All the best, get in touch,

Mark
