NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


That's the worst news I have heard regarding SW in years, G..D... LUCAS and company.


This was the most anticipate novel for me.

I doubt it would help but it may be petition to Lucas time again

I don't blame her at all, I blame Lucas for changing the established cannon,  He's been doing this shit for years, I know it's his baby but after you start down a road, he veers left, just look at alot of the early novels regarding Fett.  I read her statement and I agree with her, as much as I hate the decision.

Pacifist Mando's what freakin crock

I'm not blaming her either but if anything was to change i really don't think she would come back (i think she has been burnt real bad)
of course i blame G.L (the Jabba looking wanna be) if it wasn't for SW EU Books, Comics, games, the interest of star wars would be the same as it was left in the late 80's and early 90's....
but these EU books (Tim Zahn) sparked new ideas and a wider imagination on every one who loves S W, and for Genocide George to come in when he feels like it and hack away at ideas that fans like just drives me nuts!! how many times has he done it to himself, does that sound like a sound mind? look at TPM..... nuff said!!

Why doesn't Lucas make the Hutt's humanitarians?  Perhaps the Sith will now start to build giant cities dedicated to taking care of the unfortunate.  The Yuuzhang Vong will come back and hold hands with Jedi across America.  Mandalorians had one of the greatest mystiques in all of Star Wars, and he ruined it all for a cartoon that will be forgotten in a couple years.  Nice going Lucas.

I hate to admit that it doesn't surprise me. We are probably lucky we got this many books. The sad thing is he will have someone else write this and make more money and some folks will buy it to just see what happens.  Stupid GL. He kind of reminds me of the daggone Raiders owner.

gdamn it !!!!     I was looking forward to the last book.   it was painful enough that #2 WAS the end because I know it was gonna feel rushed because she had to tie everything up in 400 pages...  but now, knowing IC #2 is never going to be finished it makes IC #1  totally anti-climactic.     


it is NOT Karen Traviss' fault, she never would have made such a drastic move if the changes Lucas and Filoni are making weren't so Earth-shattering.   she LOVED writing Star Wars so I know she would have continued for decades to come.   

f--k GL.   I've hated him for years, now I REALLY hate him even more.

posted to my facebook:

I'm irritated - at the least - by this: "...the Mandalorians [are] being revamped as long-standing pacifists who'd given up fighting centuries ago and that Mandalore was now a post-apocalyptic wasteland devastated by war."  This came from Karen Traviss' own blog of 12-2-09.  Sooooooo... George..... you're pulling ANOTHER major change in canon?  Han shot first.  Did you not understand from the upswelling and outcry that major canon revamps are Bad Ideas?  And now your Mandalorians - to make a kiddie-show - are PACIFISTS???  You've approved books, comics, and costuming clubs based on the premise that the Mandos are a feared culture of mercenary warriors - and suddenly - for the sake of a CARTOON you snatch the rug from under Mando fans?

The only money you've gotten from me in ages, George, has come from Karen's books and the action figures.  Karen just quit writing.  That leaves me your action figures.

Thank God GI Joe fig's are the same scale as SW fig's...

I just read the post.  Pacifists?  Every single Mandalorian we've seen has been a fighter.  Boba Fett being the biggest one, in the Galactic Civil War, and in the Legacy of the Force closer book included Mandalorians fighting Darth Caedus, with everything in between.  What is George thinking?!

I forgot to mention this:

Won't this basically ruin the New Year's Contest we have planned for sending her off?

Well, think of it now as a tribute to, rather than a send off.

I like the idea of that rather than the send off.  Great thinking, Wayne.

Han shot first.

Mandalorians were never pacifists.
