Does anyone know if they are going to continue the Rogue Squadron novel series?

I haven't heard anything over here in the UK, but it would be nice. I love those books, but the latest Star Wars books have included a fair amount of pilot-view stories/scenes with Jaina Solo and Gavin Darklighter against the Yuuzhan Vong. Still, it would be nice.

I agree, I found the Rogue Squadron books to be very enjoyable. It was a nice break from all the other books that focused on Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2, and Threepio. The books would have made good sequel material IMO.

Yeah it would be nice of them to do a few books on what Rogue Squadron was doing during the Black Fleet Crisis being that we really didnt see too much of them or maybe the Admiral Daala Trilogy.

I haven't been paying attention to the "Star Wars" novels since I was utterly pissed off by the first of their stupid new Yutzes-Bong invasion series. (Yes, I know I spelled the alien name wrong.)

Timothy Zahn's books ("Spectre of the Past" and "Vision of the Future") were the last novels published by Bantam -- it's my understanding that their contract ran out and was not renewed, and the "New Jedi Order" books have all been published by Del Rey. Therefore, I'm not sure if any more "Rogue Squadron" books could end up being published, if the old publisher has any sort of rights to the series.

(Of course, this is George Luca$'s domain, so my argument is probably questionable. [Wink] )

Yes, the latest novels with the Yuuzun Vong (spl) is lame, I guess they ran out of ideas. Though some of it is enjoyable.
