Anakin "Sky Guy" Skywalker Ahsoka "Snips" Tano Artoo "Artooey" Detoo Current Results Princess Leia -- Star Wars Novellist!? Posted By Paul on December 17, 2007 We're treating this VERY cautiously right now, but the British, Japanese and German Amazon sites are claiming that there's a new Star Wars novel due out in September 2008. The first, really striking, thing about it is that it's supposedly going to be written by Carrie Fisher, the Rebel Princess herself. She's written four semi-autobiographical novels and she has a reputation as a punchy script doctor, quietly improving other people's screenplays in Holywood. The second interesting thing about this is that it's being advertised as coming from Simon & Schuster, NOT from DelRey, the current licensee for Star Wars novels. But the license is currently up for renewal, with the final volumes appearing in late 2008, and this could MAYBE be the first solid indication of the new direction of the contract. S&S already do the Star Trek novels, for what it's worth. Of course, this could be complete nonsense that's escaped into the wild from some fanboy's basement. The supposed release-date, 1st September 2008, pre-dates at least two DelRey novels, Matt Stover's hotly-awaited Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, and the final volume of the Coruscant Nights trilogy; but these are both delayed from intended earlier release-dates -- remember that the last Bantam book, Tales from the New Republic appeared after Vector Prime, the first of the new DelRey novels? Then there's the question of how this information is appearing. It's on three international Amazon sites, which may suggest that it's coming from a central source within Amazon, strengthening the chance that it's genuine. The UK site has been the first place to release accurate information in the past. Also, the novel is given ISBN numbers, both in the traditional ISBN-10 format (1847370322) and in the new ISBN-13 style (978-1847370327). On the other hand... all of this remains speculation, working off nothing more than the web pages you can see yourself. So, could this be the shape of things to come? We're not sure, but we'll keep you posted on more news as we get it. Kudos to TF.N message-boards user snooty30, who first spotted this story, and who thus holds the distinction of having started the thread in which you can discuss the news, and see what other fans are thinking. UPDATE: well, it seems that caution was the right reaction, and whatever this is, it's probably nothing to do with the upcoming renewal of the novel license. Various people over in the message-board thread have linked this to a book that Carrie Fisher has been writing for a couple of years, based on the diaries she kept during the making of the films. I was holding off on an update until I could confirm the connection, but in the meantime, Sue Rostoni from LucasBooks, has posted over in the StarWars.com forums. She's confirmed that it's not a Star Wars novel, nor are S&S getting the license for the new novels. So it's probably a memoir or semi-autobiographical novel by Carrie, based around her experiences filming Star Wars. Still relatively big news, then, but not entirely new news -- and by the look of things, this book's been pushed back more than once already, and may be delayed again in future.... email this story discuss in forums Select Date 2008, November 2008, October 2008, September 2008, August 2008, July 2008, June 2008, May 2008, April 2008, March 2008, February 2008, January 2007, December 2007, November 2007, October 2007, September 2007, August 2007, July 2007, June 2007, May 2007, April 2007, March 2007, February 2007, January 2006, December 2006, November 2006, October 2006, September 2006, August 2006, July 2006, June 2006, May 2006, April 2006, March 2006, February 2006, January 2005, December 2005, November 2005, October 2005, September 2005, August 2005, July 2005, June 2005, May 2005, April 2005, March 2005, February 2005, January 2004, December 2004, November 2004, October 2004, September 2004, August 2004, July 2004, June 2004, May 2004, April 2004, March 2004, February 2004, January 2003, December 2003, November 2003, October 2003, September 2003, August 2003, July 2003, June 2003, May 2003, April 2003, March 2003, February 2003, January 2002, December 2002, November 2002, October 2002, September 2002, August 2002, July 2002, June 2002, May 2002, April 2002, March 2002, February 2002, January 2001, December 2001, November 2001, October 2001, September 2001, August 2001, July 2001, June 2001, May 2001, April 2001, March 2001, February 2001, January 2000, December 2000, November 2000, October 2000, September 2000, August 2000, July 2000, June 2000, May 2000, April 2000, March 2000, February 2000, January 1999, December 1999, November 1999, October 1999, September 1999, August 1999, July 1999, June 1999, May 1999, April 1999, March 1999, February 1999, January 1998, December 1998, November 1998, October 1998, September 1998, August 1998, July 1998, June 1998, May 1998, April 1998, March 1998, February Kevin Kiner Highlighted At Soundtrack.net Posted By Mike on November 22, 2008: Composer of The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels Links, Previews & Reviews Posted By Mike on November 22, 2008: Updated!
