Disney is serious about Star Wars – sure they announced in the press release that we’d get Star Wars Episode 7 – but during a call with press and analysts, Disney’s CEO promised:
Star Wars Episodes 8, 9 AND 10!!!
“The last Star Wars movie release was 2005’s Revenge of the Sith and we believe there is substantial pent up demand,” Robert A. Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company said during the call. “In 2015 we are planning to release Star Wars episode 7 , that will be followed by episodes 8 and 9 and our long term plan is to release a new star wars feature film every two to three years.”

So now we know what the successor to Legacy of the Force will be – it’s called Star Wars Fate of the Jedi which will first show up in April of 2009 and will span 9 books – all hardcover – ending in April 2011.
Lucasfilm’s Sue Rostoni has outlined the series – in rough – and here it is..
April 7, 2009 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 1: OUTCAST by Aaron Allston. Luke and Ben attempt to follow Jacen’s previous journey in the hopes of discovering what and how various Force-using groups influenced him to accept and use dark side powers.
July 7, 2009 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 2:OMEN by Christie Golden. Continues the FATE OF THE JEDI story….. major developments, new characters, lotsa stuff happens.
October 6, 2009 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 3 by Troy Denning. More hapans… er, happens. Sorry for the typo, it means nothing.
February 2010 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 4 by Aaron Allston.
May 2010 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 5 by Christie Golden.
August 2010 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 6 by Troy Denning.
November 2010 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 7 by Aaron Allston.
January 2011 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 8 by Christie Golden.
April 2011 – Hardcover: FATE OF THE JEDI 9 by Troy Denning. Wraps up the series….
We can hardly wait…will this series hook up and connect to Dark Horse’s Star Wars Legacy?? Not likely but is sure will bring us at least 9 steps closer.

Finally it’s here!! The final book in the Star Wars Legacy of the Force series is out!
We’ve had some really healthy discussion about this for months on this site and there are heated opinions all around.
For now though I’m personally going to savor every page and take some time to read this final episode in this series.
For better or for worse Legacy of the Force has been a VERY eventful series, splitting the Galaxy, families and fans alike.
Star Wars Legacy of the Force Revelation (REVIEW) March 16, 2008

After 3 weeks of some really great reading..we’re ready to finally offer a full review of Star Wars Legacy of the Force Revelation (which officially came out on Feb 26, 2008).
No this is not the best book in the series – BUT yes it is an AWESOME book and one that at points is an intensely riveting page turning adventure.
Revelation follows follows Fury, Sacrifice, Exile, Betrayal 
The axis on which this whole book sits is the Battle of Fondor and what a battle!
Since the first book of this series – Legacy of the Force has been all about Civil War. What do we call it now – double civil war? The GA now has two factions, then there is still the Confederacy and somewhere inbetween is the Imperial Remnant.
Did i shed a tear for Admiral Palleon? You bet I did.
But amongst all that chaos that is the middle to the end of this book the number one question in my mind was – Where was the Confederacy in all this? Why didn’t Bothawui or Correlia show up?
Also what’s up with Tahiri? Suddenly she’s now a Sith apprentice – yet we never really any discourse from her/Caedus on her becoming Sith?
Jaina’s training with the Mandalorians is awesome stuff and clearly Karen Traviss is cut out for writing about the Mando’ade – it’s what she exels at.
The fact that OH FINALLY Ben/Luke et al accept the fact the Caedus killed Mara was far too drawn out and lame but hey..Fondor makes up for it (A BIT).
Overall we give this 3.5 out of 5 stars.
We have to wait until May 13th for the last book in this series – Invincible – where the only question is — Will Jaina Kill Jacen/Caedus??

BIG BIG BIG BIG NEWS FROM LUCAS!!
The new Star Wars Clone Wars animated series will first be a FEATURE FILM that will hit theaters on Friday August 15th!! (let the lineups for the midnight showings begin!!!)
We’ve been writing about the new Star Wars Clone Wars for months…always thinking that it would just be a new TV series on the Cartoon Network so this news comes as a very very NICE SURPRISE.
“I felt there were a lot more Star Wars stories left to tell,” said George Lucas, executive producer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in a statement. “I was eager to start telling some of them through animation and, at the same time, push the art of animation forward.”
Then in the fall the TV series itself will start with apparently some 30 episodes already in the can. It also looks like Anakin’s new apprentice Ahsoka Tano. will play a major role too.
Are we excited? YOU BET WE ARE!
Star Wars Legacy of the Force : Invincible – Will Jaina Kill Jacen? February 2, 2008

We’ve known since at least November that Jaina would be on the cover of the final book of the Legacy of the Force series.
Now the first images of the actual book cover are available and it looks to us that she’s going to have a showdown with her brother Jacen – Darth Caedus.
That is a confrontation that is – Inevitable – maybe that should’ve been the name of the book. Then again maybe Invincible refers to Jacen/Caedus….
Invincible’s release date is set for May 13, 2008. Amazon is already taking pre-orders on this the final installment of the Legacy of the Force – it’s a hardcover so it’s more dough than the paperbacks. Amazon currently has a neat offer though, they’re starting at 34% off list price and if you pre-order now they’ll give you an extra 5% discount. Sure beat paying full price the day it comes out..but i wonder if they’ll actually ship it to arrive on May 13th..

The Eighth book in this awesome series – Star Wars Legacy of the Force : Revelation is set for a Feb 26, 2008 release.
Unfortunately it’s written by Karen Travis, the author that wrote the worst book in the series Sacrifice and killed Mara Jade Skywalker.
Who is on the cover? Looks like Jacen.
What’s the Revelation? That the Sith suck?? that He killed Mara?? we’ll find out…

Star Wars Legacy of the Force is the final book in the series – and LucasFilm has now confirmed that Jacen’s sister Jaina will be on the cover.
As of the date of this posting – no image cover for the book was publicly avaiable.
Invincible is set for a May 13, 2008 release in hardcover and is being penned by the best krifing author of the series Troy Denning.
Does Jaina on the cover mean that she’ll destroy Jacen?
Does it mean that she too will turn to the Sith?
I think so…I expect Jaina to marry Fel – from whose offspring Roan Fel will emerge. Roan Fel though not officially Sith – is kinda/sorta there with his whole ‘i’m the Emperor’ deal.
