Force Heretic

[Handothrawn]

I've been hearing things about the Force Heretic Trilogy. I've heard that the FH books are like DJ and Traitor, each focusing on only two or three characters.

Remnant: Luke and Mara have journeyed to the Imperial Remnant, hoping to begin setting up new Resistance Cells. But when they leave, they are captured by a Yuuzhan Vong Fleet, one that is headed straight for the Remnant. But inside the Vong ship they meet an old friend they thought was long dead. After meeting the "anti-heroes" they help Luke and Mara "dash" away.

Refugee- Han and Leia are travelling planet to planet finding old members of the Rebel Alliance. The have reached the home-planet of Hobbie, from Rogue Squadron, which is now unprotected, after many ships of the Republic have "disappeared" after the fall of Borleias, alot like Wedge Antilles' remaining task force. But still surrounding the planet are hundreds of refugee ships. Han and Leia find Hobbie working with the refugees, training them for battle, and working with Hobbie is one of the Refugees. He seems to be the only one with military experience. It turns out to be an old enemy of Han and Leia, ready to put the past in the past.

Reunion- Tahiri, Jacen, and Jaina are having visions of four ghhostly figures, each telling them to go to the planet Dagobah. There waiting for them are three Jedi spirits of the Old order, and the spirit of Anakin Solo.

Cool

[General Antilles]

Dude, that sounds beautiful........where did you get this info?

[Flight]

Yeah, could you tell us where you got your info? :)


I don't particularly want to see Anakin Solo return as a Jedi ghost, and I've never thought that it would be a possibility. But if this report is accurate, looks like we'll be seeing him again...

[Handothrawn]

I'm really not sure where exactly I heard this. I couldn't sleep at all last night, so basically, I cruised the Net last night, hoping for a scoop. I found this info on a site about 4 a.m. last night, and have no clue where to find it again. But I'm gonna do the "up all night' thing again tonight.


And I hope you got my Dash Rendar hint up there guys.

[Whuffa]

Yeah, that's cool. I like the storylines a lot! Who could the enemy Han and Leia meet be? Ooooh! Boba Fett? I heard that he's gonna return and he's not in Destiny's Way, so... Oh, that would be so cool for Boba Fett to help our heroes fight the Vong!
And who do you think the three ghosts will be? Qui-Gon? Yoda? Anakin Skywalker? We know Obi-Wan won't return (he said so in HTTE).
If you know the answers to these questions handofthrawn, please say SPOILER first, 'cause I'm not sure I wanna be spoiled!

[Handothrawn]

SPOILER!

OK, from what I've gathered, the spirits are Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, Anakin Solo, and Qui-Gon Jinn.

The Enemy is Boba Fett.

The Old Friend is Dash Rendar.

The surviving members of the original Rogue Squadron are returning with Han and Leia.

[Luminara Skye]

It sounds really cool! *I can't wait! *My only question is why Qui-Gon? *I mean, no one in the OT knows about him. *Unless Vergere tells them about him. *But I don't know. *???

[James T. Skywalker]

We know Obi-Wan won't return (he said so in HTTE).

He said that this would be the last time that Luke would see him. He never said that no one else would. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

In any case, those summaries look good, but I would dispure their validity. One of the NJO editors who frequents the Books and Comics forum of the Official Site has said that Dix and Williams had to go back and rewrite their original drafts for this series after Walter Jon Williams added a major plot point in Destiny's Way.

I don't have much info other than that.

~JTS

[Handothrawn]

Well, I don't know [I]why [I] Qui-Gon, but it seems, with Jacen's new Force-outlook, that Qui-gon could understand how Jacen felt and could offer some insight to the others, but what I previously posted is all I know. IMOA.

[The Gatherer]

Bogus.

[Darth Vegas]

If Qui-Gon does appear, than they better add him to ROTJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif

[jade51999]

interesting, sounds like it may be plausible..but i don't put an value to stuff until more information comes out style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

but thanks for the info ..

[James T. Skywalker]

Well, when a Del Rey editior who specifically works for the Star Wars license says that she's never seen that info before, I kinda have my doubts about it's validity, personally.

~JTS

[Strke Brelk]

I believe Del Rey has said Anakin Solo won't be coming back as a ghost. Also, I'm pretty sure one of the blurbs I've seen for one of the FH books mentions Thracken-Sal Solo is a a bigwig in the Peace Brigade. Also, why would Qui-Gon Jinn or Yoda appear to Jaina and Jacen? They've never even heard of Qui-Gon!

[Whuffa]

Do you have [I]any[I] idea where you read this handofthrawn?

[Handothrawn]

Hando, if you don't mind Whuffa. And not a damn clue.
