Old West Luke and Leia! I imagine Leia would be a Mexican princess of sorts…
Coworker/buddy Bridget (CHECK HER OUT) drew up Luke and Leia by way of a Western setting, and badass latina Leia is something I would like to savor for a bit. Kiiiiinda kicking myself that I didn’t think of this first.

Wonderful girl. Either I’m gonna kill her or I’m beginning to like her.

io9 has our first looks at the cover for Martha Wells’ Empire and Rebellion: Razor’s Edge. No blurb - the provided text is just the stuff we already know about the series, but hey. Cover!
It’s another new look for Star Wars books - kind of a melding of the stark Fate of the Jedi covers with the old-school photo montages. It’s crisper than the montages, but less severe than the stylized Fate covers - will fandom as a whole like it? Who knows!
Razor’s Edge - we just learned the title last week - is due out in hardcover on October 15. The next entries in the series will probably come in 2014 - we know that James S.A. Corey (Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) are working on their Han novel, while Kevin Hearne’s Luke novel is still in the outline stage.

The instant Leia sees Luke, she suddenly commences struggling against the Imperials who have her in custody. She breaks away just long enough to warn him at the top of her lungs that it’s a trap.
She doesn’t scream for help, even though she and Chewie and Threepio are in Imperial fucking custody and are probably about to be shipped to the goddamn Emperor for Sith-style interrogation/torture/gloating.
She doesn’t know Lando’s changed his mind and is orchestrating their escape.
She can’t be sure they won’t blast her in the heart for trying to warn Luke.
Leia is a goddamned selfless hero and people need to not fucking forget it.

That sad moment when Luke Skywalker has to be the resident Slytherin.
Heh, it’s totally Leia’s “oh no he’s attracting me” moment - I love her little smile. But yeah, Luke does seem the most practical, especially in the Death Star sequence. (One of the fun things is to watch him in the background of the Han/Leia bickering scenes. They’re caught up in their fight; Luke is usually keeping an eye out or trying to keep contact with Threepio or whatever.)

Is this the second Star Wars animated series? A TFN reader spotted this treatment for Star Wars: Reclamation today on the IMDB message boards. The poster claims to be an ex-Lucasfilm employee, but obviously nothing about this is in any way verifiable.
The Reclamation treatment lays out a Star Wars story set about 15 years after Return of the Jedi. It features mostly all-new characters and Leia Organa and devates considerably from the existing EU: A post-Emperor universe where Han and Leia aren’t even together? Where at least Leia’s ancestry is kept secret? Where there are Jedi who survived the purges but no mention of Luke Skywalker? Although at least one of the other character descriptions is rather curious…
As always, I am deeply skeptical about this whole thing, but it’s certainly food for thought - even if it does turn out to be nothing more than a rejected pitch, an attempt to troll gullible EU fans or just someone’s cleverly-presented fanfic.
DENIED. I know, you’re shocked.
