SWAJ 13


Just finished reading Star Wars Adventure Journal, Vol. 1, No. 13 (WEG, May 1997). A decent read. Includes parts 3 and 4 of the serialized short story "Side Trip:, written by Michael A. Stackpole and Timothy Zahn. A couple of other notable short story/adventure ideas are featured, including "Special Ops: Shipjackers" by John Beyer and Kathy Burdette. Always like the "Galaxywide NewsNets" and the olden days reports on upcoming Star Wars fare. The first novel in A.C. Crispin's Han Solo Trilogy, entitled The Paradise Snare, is set to come out in June of 1997.

In the "ISB Intercepts" segment, wherein WEG personnel answer burning questions from the readers, we learn a couple of cool things. One: WEG does not have a website, yet, but it does have 3 different AOL email accounts. Two: some products (like the Jedi Sourcebook) have been shelved indefinitely, as WEG does not want the content to be invalidated by the upcoming Prequel Trilogy. Ah, what a time to be alive in Star Wars fandom. The world is your oyster; Jar Jar and midichlorians do not yet exist, and hope is ever present.

Please send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to our Honesdale, PA home office. Pablo Hidalgo will be happy to answer your inquiries.

As always, you can check your Yellow Pages for a B. Dalton nearest you!
