This Del Rey publishing panel brought together Legacy of the Force authors Aaron Allston, Troy Denning and Karen Traviss. The conversation focused on the nine-book series then reshaping the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe through political conflict, family fracture and Jacen Solo’s dark turn. The authors likely discussed coordinating a multi-author storyline, balancing character arcs across separate novels and writing major events for long-running Expanded Universe readers. For fans following the books in 2007, the panel was a chance to hear directly from the writers driving one of the era’s central Star Wars publishing projects.
