[edit] Contract?

I'm looking to get confirmation as to whether or not this book is part of the new contract or the old. I think it's part of the new one but others say differently. Jacenskylo 18:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I believe Sue said it is part of the old contract (Rule of Two was an addition to the 18 book contract making it 19) and replaced the cancelled Plagueis novel, the new contract starts next year with Fate of the Jedi: Outcast. Chris

[edit] Source?!

Hang on, where's the source for that synopsis? I do oh so hope that last paragraph isn't correct... Aeods 11:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Who is this threat

Please oh please don't let it be the Vong. It seems like it might be something that explores their backstory. The second thing that comes to mind is the mysterious True Sith. Well, I suppose we'll just have to wait to December to find out. 68.55.36.185 01:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I presume it would have to be Darth Krayt and the New Sith Order, since Lumiya's Sith are gone. Remember what Maul said in Episode I: "At las, we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi." —Unsigned comment by 72.82.25.224 (talk • contribs).

  • Why does it have to be something we already know about? It could be a completely new enemy --80.42.94.101 20:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
  • I for one wouldn't want it to be a new enemy. Shouldn't we by now be seeing new links between the books and the Legacy comics? 210.4.113.169 08:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
    • No, since the One Sith are supposed to be *hidden* until a lot later. jSarek 10:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
      • Which gives the writers plenty of time to kill off major characters, have even more characters turn to the dark side, and essentially tear up the entire Star Wars saga and re-write it. This will be some cheesy re-write of the Jedi Civil War or something. I guarantee it.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 08:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
        • It may be that Vongerella that we've heard about. Either way she's a Sith, so she could either be Krayt's or Lumiya's, and she's a Vong, so it could tie into several threats. —Unsigned comment by 86.167.134.205 (talk • contribs).
  • It could be the Abominor since there the only threat left in the Unknown Regions, since 36 ABY. —Unsigned comment by 58.7.117.185 (talk • contribs).
  • in the page of Millenium Falcon i see that: In the aftermath of the Second Galactic Civil War,Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo and their granddaughter Allana go on a mission to investigate the Falcon's origins after Allana finds a mysterious object on board and discover an old failed plot to overthrow Palpatine. --Manuelin 20:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Legacy of the Force?

Is this novel part of the Legacy of the Force series? -CloneSaber(Droid's Hangout) 20:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

No. --212.54.28.123 00:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

  • It's a sequel to LotF, and a stand-alone novel. Unless they decide to make more books based of this one.. Which is very unlikely. --The Wolfe22 21:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] October 21st??

  • Where is the source for October 21st when in the back of Invincible it tells us December 30, 2008??--Darth Revanon 2:21, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Oh ok. well at least we get to get that book earlier but Shadows of Mindor looks real good to.--Darth Revanon 2:28, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Amazon.com has also listed the release date as Oct.21.--hotshotrebelfighterpilot 6:01, 17 July 2008

[edit] Jacen/Darth Caedus

Do you think we should put Jacen as a character but as mentioned only. I am almost positive he will be mentioned a few times in the book. Strong mouse 21:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Who took off Ben and Jaina.... this seems counterproductive since lets face it, they at the very least will be mentioned, but 95% likely to actually appear. And if we use the editors argument, shouldn't Tenel Ka be added? As for the Darth Caedus mention only, yes he will obviously be mentioned... in fact he's mentioned in the summary. Jedi-Sith 02:19, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Of course they'll appear, of course they'll be mentioned—you're right. But until we can verify that they do, which we can only do when we have the novel, they remain off the list. Wookieepedia only provides information which can be backed up by canonical fact. Harrar 21:24, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Remove Death Star mention?

Shouldn't the mention of the Death Star novel be removed? I haven't seen anyone official mention that the novel is going to be similar to the Death Star novel. Plus, the summary we do have doesn't sound as though the book is going to explore the history of the Falcon in the same manner that the Death Star's was in the Reaves/Perry novel. —Unsigned comment by 24.161.10.37 (talk • contribs).

[edit] New Cover

If you check out the Random House link on this page [1], you will see that the cover has changed. Steves490 17:38, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UK Release Date?

Chris 23:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)Does anyone have the UK release date for this novel?

Thanks!

  • I think the Canadian release date is the same. I saw it on the shelves already at a nearby Chapters (this was on the 19th).Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 16:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
  • I emailed Century a while back and they said there are no current plans to publish Millennium Falcon in the UK. They just haven't picked it up for some reason. Nick Fel 08:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks! Guess I'll have to import it, at least Stover's Luke novel still has a release date! Chris

[edit] Spoilers

I'm very surprised there are no spoilers on this website yet, considering it comes it in 4 days. Chack Jadson (Talk) 23:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Very true, I remeber Invincible spoilers coming out over a month before release Steves490 03:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Remove Tattooine Ghost mention?

I was wondering if the Tattooine Ghost mention should be removed, as it is an editorial statement. Yes they are both one-off novels featuring Han and Leia, but having read the books they are very different in structure and purpose. It seems more like a guess to link it to Tattooine Ghost than anything verifiable.

[edit] Has anyone noticed?

Has anyone noticed that most of the main characters (Leia, Han, Jaina, Allana) Article page are missing information from the novel? it's been out since the 21st. People are usually fast readers and you guys on here usually get the information on here pretty quick. I haven't gotten the book yet so i can't put anyhthing on. JediNTT307 02:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Well i can't speak for all Legacy Era editors but I'm still a senior in high school and the first marking period is almost over, so every subject has assigned projects. I've been swamped with work ever since and haven't been able to edit as much as usual. But within the next few weeks I will. Steves490 17:51, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Okay, i know how you feel. I just thought it was unusual because the other Legacy era books information got on Wookieepedia in like a day. JediNTT307 21:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Zann Consortium

Where in the book is the Zann Consortium mentioned?59.167.41.79 05:28, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

  • The idea of criminals purchasing buzz droids for their own use certainly seems like an homage to the Zann Consortium, but I don't recall hearing it named anywhere.65.185.93.84 03:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Appearances

Bells and baskets? Birthday cake? Magic word? And what the hell is "PREVIOUS HISTORY"? The Appearances section needs a more-than-desperate clean-up. // ~mikah~ 01:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

  • VERY TRUE, somebody went a tad crazy trying to cite EVERYTHING in the novel. Steves490 16:10, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
    • What other canon source indicates birthday cakes are in the SW Univers? PREVIOUS HISTORY is actually the label of a file in the book.JustinGann 22:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Locations

Isn't it pointless to have all of those little sub-locations? The majority of them are red-links and irrelevant to the book. Rayn3000 19:59, 26 November 2008 (UTC)User:Rayn3000

  • Upon what grounds should we not have them? We have sub-locations for the movies, which in movies play no larger role?JustinGann 22:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hammett Homage?

Anyone else catch the similarities to the ending of Maltese Falcon?Tocneppil 04:03, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What the...

Hell? Why in the galaxy would Hell be listed in the list of worlds? Even as "Mentioned Only"? -Super Saiyan Jedi 08:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

  • I don't know why we have these lists, I mean, just read the "Miscellanea": air traffic lane, antenna, bag, button, ACCEPT button, communication button, ignition button, RESET button... Wtf? There is so many of them that is slows down the page a lot and it seems very pointless — RedVix | 22:42, 18 April 2009 (UTC) 18:39, 18 april 2009 (EST)
    • Hell links to Chaos, its a legend so it should go im miscellania. The lists can get quite long and there are limits to what goes in them. Just put articles you think shouldn't exist iin the Trash Compacter but realize that many of the articles are justified. As well, because most (all) of these things are redlinks, if something is really unnecisary (button and subsidiaries) just get rid of it. NaruHina Talk 22:52, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
