‘The Will of Darth Vader’ Announced In Star Wars: Insider Magazine

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I live a working life of secrecy.  One of my secrets has been announced this week.  My next Star Wars: Adventures story is “The Will of Darth Vader”.  I haven’t seen a cover image posted anywhere (so I won’t post it yet) but this was seriously one of the most fun scripts I’ve ever written.

I went into Luke Skywalker and the Treasure of the Dragonsnakes with some trepidation.  Writing an untold story of Yoda, Luke and Artoo set during Empire Strikes Back was a real honour and a responsibility I didn’t take lightly.  I agonised over every word in that book and hopefully people will dig it.  Daxiong’s beautifully drawn Yoda is worth the cost of admission alone.

With the script to The Will of Darth Vader I was able to let loose, have fun, and show piles of destruction.  Oh… and I was given the chance to write Darth Vader – the greatest villain of all time!!

I’m actually interviewed in two separate articles in this month’s Star Wars: Insider magazine; an article about the future of Star Wars: Invasion and an article about Luke Skywalker and the Treasure of the Dragonsnakes – which is due out on the 3rd of February.

It’s a big week, with Star Wars: Insider one of two internationally released magazines I’m interviewed in.  There are also a pile of other things happening which I’ll be posting about later.

Another Star Wars: Invasion Article And A Quick Tease

Monday, June 1st, 2009

There’s a 2 page article on Star Wars: Invasion as well as an interview with Colin Wilson and I in ‘Star Wars Insider’ (the official Star Wars magazine) #108.  Oddly, this interview was the first piece of press we did way back before anyone knew about Invasion.  Check it out.

In other news, I’ve finished and handed in the script to another secret Star Wars project and the cover is already my new desktop wallpaper – really looking forward to this one.
