STAR WARS SPOILERS

I'm going to ignore your fantasy for a moment and focus on another issue, the death of chewbacca. I'm curious how it felt to write that story, really that capstone on such a loved character in Star Wars.

• Did you know going into the project that you were going to kill of Chewie?
• Did you decide to kill off chewie or was it something you were directed to do?
• Have you personally experienced any consequences, whether just feeling bad, or worse, threats or anger from fans over the book?

I read Vector Prime and then when I got to the end, I quit reading Star Wars novels. I've since learned that the whole New Jedi Order series was supposedly quite good, and whatever they are on now is good too. I know it's irrational to think of a character as sacrosanct or untouchable, but after the death of Chewie, I was just done. Haven't read a Star Wars novel since.

Thanks for the AMA!

Thanks so much for the response. In many ways, ignoring the impending invasion, Vector Prime was the perfect novel to really end my Star Wars reading. I'll always love Star Wars, but with the death of Chewie, I felt that the series had run its course.

Part of me will always regret reading that book, however. Thanks so much for your response, it's an honor!

More like a few gazillion - I had no idea why this was so funny, or how he knew he'd be back, lol.
