Author Sean Williams' Suvudu Interview

Posted By Mike on June 8, 2011

Star Wars Books on Facebook points EU fans over to Suvudu.com where they've posted a new interview with Star Wars author Sean Williams. Having previously written the NJO Force Heretic series and both novel adaptations of The Force Unleashed, Williams has recently seen his latest novel, Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance, get a paperback reprint release. Click here for the interview where Williams touches on his Star Wars fandom, his previous Star Wars novels and hopes for a third incarnation of The Force Unleashed. Excerpt below...

"You were the first author to ever have a video game tie-in novel to debut at number one on the New York Times bestseller list. With the release of Fatal Alliance, you�re now helping to usher in the new lore for the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG. That must be an incredible privilege and responsibility. Can you talk about that?

It is an enormous responsibility, and a very difficult one to realize. The idea behind the book was to capture the flavour of the MMO without giving away any of the character arcs of the game, while at the same time creating a novel that worked in its own right. We went through lots of story ideas before hitting on the right one. But that had its advantages, too. For the first time in Star Wars I could come up with characters of my own, and I had a whole new galaxy to play with. In that sense, I was the first person to engage with the game as the world will see it in the months to come, as a player as well as an author. There�s no way I could settle on just one character class, so I wrote six of them, and each was a joy in its own right. I think that shows in the book."
