    Wow, huge bummer on the delay. I was really looking forward to getting both of these but at least the summary and cover for Bloodlines will be interesting to see though.

    I am disappointed that they would use Wendig for the battle of Jakku, or ANY space battle, for that matter. His battle depiction in Aftermath (when the 'grand moff ' tries to escape to his star destroyer) was atrocious!

    It's six years before TFA so everything is possible...

    I heard that Wendig's Life Debt is about the liberation of Kashyyyk. Can anybody confirm this rumour?

    Well, the Falcon is on the front cover and in an interlude in the first one, Han and Chewie were raising an army of smugglers to do just that, so I reckon it's a safe enough bet that that will take up a substantial part of the book. Sounds promising if true.
    I'd expect Norra Wexley's crew to be involved, seeing as how the ending to the last one set them up as a sort of Star Wars A-Team.
    Hopefully some more interludes on the state of the galaxy and a reveal of who the enigmatic Imperial admiral might be.

    Sucks. Really excited for New Republic Bloodlines. After reading Lost Stars I'm totally locked into Claudia Grey books.

    I've been looking forward to this since I read Lost Stars. Wasn't expecting it to feature Leia though.
    I want a Luke book Damn it. Haha

    I also need to go back and look at the "Awakening", in it it describes that the planets of the Republic are on a rotating basis as host of the Galactic Senate every couple of years or each planet gets a turn at being the capital.
    In this description Hosnian Prime is capital and still is in TFA. Maybe I misread that part?

    Are talking about Vader's shadow?

    I think the book is set about ten years before TFA so ether they have a very long turn at hosting the Senate or there is only a select group of planets that can hold it as it must take a lot of infrastructure to hold such a complex organisation

    So have they dropped "New Republic" from Bloodlines's title? I mean it's not on the cover...
    --- Double Post Merged, Feb 4, 2016, Original Post Date: Feb 4, 2016 ---
    (Also just in general, that's a pretty awesome cover, it's less overtly YA, than Lost Stars)

    I noticed that also. Maybe the "New Republic" was temporary?

    I was just informed that they removed New Republic From the title a few days ago.
