I recently re-read _Outbound Flight_ and I’m just finishing reading _Survior’s Quest_. I would be very interested in seeing the three-part short story “Hero of Cartao” (which orignally appeared in Star Wars Insider issues 68-70) republised in e-format. To my knowledge, they haven’t appeared anywhere else except those issues of the Insider.I also enjoyed “Buyer’s Market” in issue 126. Do you have any plans to feature short stories explaining in detail how Jorj Car’das set up his organization? How about more details about how Talon Kaarde consolidated his power after Jorj Car’das disappeared? How did Kinman Dorianna react when he learned that Palpatine and Darth Sidious were the same person? Or, how did a fleet under Chiss Admiral Ar’alani defeat a “Far Outsiders” (aka Yuzzhan Vong) reconaisance force? Any of these possible short stories would be fun to read.

My question would be why are Heir to the Empire and The Last Command available for purchase on my Kindle, but not the middle novel, Dark Force Rising?

I’ve read reports that the first time it was available it was full of typos and that it’s been pulled for corrections. If this is true, is there any ETA on when it will be available again? At this point I’d rather have the version with typos than no version at all.

I know that Luke has search for his mom, I do think I ever read where he found her grave.
Timothy, have you ever thought of writing a story where Luke and Leia travel to Naboo on a Quest to find Padme?

My question is if Timothy is going to stay with Rebellion era type writing or if he’s going to write a novel in the Old Republic series or something.
