I’d buy any of those titles, but I think “Tales of Black Sun” would be a tough sell. Black Sun’s pure EU, and most folks don’t know what it is. Seems like a limited appeal.

“Tales of the Old Republic” seems like a no-brainer to me.

And I would totally buy “Tales of the Sith!” Gimme some Karness Muur, XoXaan, Darth Andeddu, or Naga Sadow action. Toss in a few post-Bane Sith and some more of those wacky Sith lords from the Knight Errant series. And Darths Talon, Nihl, Krayt, and the rest of the One Sith. Definitely Darth Talon.

How about the already used title “Tales of the Jedi?” There’s 20,000 years between the new “Dawn of the Jedi: series and most of the Old Republic stories. Surely something interesting happened during that time.

I’ve always been fascinated with the Coruscant underworld so that would be a no-brainer purchase for me. Actually all four ideas sound fantastic. Tales from the Clone Wars sounds marketable, Cloud City will attract the Original Trilogy fans like myself, and since I find Shadow Games to be a fun read, I’m intrigued to know more about the Black Sun. Del Rey, please make at least 2 of the 4 ideas happen.

I really enjoyed alot of the suggestions already made, tales of black sun, tales of the coruscant underworld, tales of the sith, and cloud city. I guess following on from the first two, I would really like to see a tales of the exchange, which focuses more on the old republic era, which seems difficult with the games, but there is a 300 year gap in the history of the exchange, between Kotor, when we thought them almost eliminated, and the old republic, where they are back in force.

How about Tales from the Kessel Run? Stories surrounding the goings-on of Kessel prior to Episode 4. You could also have Tales from Maw Installation with appearances by Tarkin himself. Find out all the neat little dangerous things that could have come out of that place during its hay day.

Clone wars and Cloud city sound like the the most promising offers above. A tales from Coruscant could even go through several era’s of EU. Perhaps a Tales of the Jedi temple. I really like the ideas for the boonta eve and sith posted above.

Similar to what some have suggested, how about a “Tales of the Jedi Purge,” focused on stories set around the time of Order 66?

You could have a Padawan who survives Order 66, though his master has died; a Youngling in the Jedi Temple (the story could end as Anakin enters the Council chamber…); one of the more pacifist Jedi who more-or-less sat out the Clone Wars; a clonetrooper’s story (it could open with the words, “It will be done, My Lord.”); maybe the story of Paxi Sylo from the Clone Wars microseries and how he takes the news of the Jedi’s “treason”; something on the almost-Jedi in the Agricultural Corps and what happens to them when the Jedi Order is wiped out… Lots of possibilities here.

I would love to see a Tales from the Sith Order.
It would be awesome if it could span the entire New Sith Wars.
There is so much of this time period that goes on, but hardly any material on it.
And its such an interesting time period :]

I would also love a story involving Freedon Nadd as a jedi, and his subsequent falling towards the dark side.
(but that would HAVE to be a full novel)
((probably written by Drew Karpyshyn))
(((hint, hint)))

I like Daniel’s idea for an Order 66 anthology: I mean, when the order was executed, there were numerous Jedi in the field who were killed by their own troops… Imagine stories telling about their fight, with an Order 66 ending…

I would really like to see a Tales of The Boonta Eve Classic for Episode I, Tales of Order 66 for Episode 3 and Tales of the Dark Times for the time inbetween ROTS and ANH.

I would like to see a Tales of the Sith anthology. A collection of short stories about some of the lesser known Sith Lords and their apprentices. Each story would follow the progression of an apprentice to master with each following story consisting of the winner training a new apprentice and fighting him at the end. Example: Story 1, Darth A is defeated by Darth B. Story 2, Darth B is defeated by Darth C. Etc…
