| Site Updates | |
Today I have added some new updates to Galactic Voyage to try and catch up with some of the latest news. Followers of the site have been concerned and sent in e-mails regarding the recent drought. As I had mentioned on May 16, 2010 there would be some changes coming and I was not sure (and I'm still not) how affected the site would be over the coming months. I have added a note at the top of the News Section: ***Why is there a lack of updates? See the "Possible Update Changes At Galactic Voyage" article from May 16, 2011.*** Hopefully, this will shed some light on the situation as things move forward. Look for more updates for sure this week. Thanks for your concern and understanding. | |

| Darth Plagueis Novel | |
The Official Star Wars Site has announced that in Revenge of the Sith, while attending a ballet, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine casually mentions to Anakin Skywalker the tale of Darth Plagueis. Plagueis was a Sith Lord so wise and powerful, that he could even manipulate the Force to create life or stop death in others. Ironically, such a powerful being could not prevent his own death, for in the way of the Sith, Plagueis was killed in his sleep by his apprentice. Palpatine told the captivating tale to start certain wheels spinning in the Chosen One's head. Ever since then, Star Wars fans have been clamoring to know more about Plagueis. Author James Luceno delves into the secrets of the dark side to find out more about Darth Sidious and Darth Plagueis in a new hardcover novel, Star Wars: Darth Plagueis, which will be available in hardcover and ebook formats on December 27, 2011 from Del Rey Books.
