Imperial Commando: 501st Sequel Cancelled

Star Wars author Karen Traviss announced on her personal blog today that Imperial Commando 2 that was to be her last Star Wars book has now been cancelled.

"Today I'm reacting, because somebody blurted out something on a forum, and the rumours started. Yes, for once a rumour is actually true; I've withdrawn from the sequel to Imperial Commando 501st, which was going to be my final Star Wars novel. I had issues over contractual matters and working practices that still showed no signs of being resolvable after a couple of years, so I told the publisher that I would not be doing the book."

"I'm answering only the most frequent questions you've been sending me, to save you the trouble of mailing me again or relying on fifth-hand misquotes from fan sites."

There are spoilers included in the answered questions at the bottom of the page, but she does answer several burning questions people have.

Scavengers' Guide to Droids

The Official Star Wars Site has provided a look into the new Wizards of the Coast roleplaying game sourcebook Star Wars: Scavengers' Guide to Droids. Before you think you've seen it all in terms of droid guides -- there have been several published over the years -- this one has a few surprises.

The 160-page hardcover book includes a sizable Droid Codex -- a catalog of many new and established droids for incorporation into the game as player or non-player characters. "Some of the newly created droids are the EI-9 Network Security Droid, GD16 Pilot Droid, MEV Medical Evacuation Droid, the S19 astromech and the TC-SC infiltration droid," says Hershey. "A few of the expanded droids include the unusual RO-D from a Holonet News entry, the SD-X stealth battle droid from Jacen Solo's SD-XX in the Legacy of the Force series, the PLNK power droid from the Clone Wars series, and the KM1 mining droid from Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords."

Be sure to read the entire article and see pictures of droids from this new sourcebook!
