Karpyshyn to Write for The Old Republic!

This just in: Drew Karpyshyn, author of the incredible Darth Bane novels, and lead writer for the classic RPG Knights of the Old Republic, has moved to Texas to write for the upcoming BioWare release, The Old Republic. This is truly incredible news. When I first heard of BioWare's intention to include a strong story element into this release, I thought that surely they would bring Karpyshyn back to help out in this respect.

I'm am very pleased to see that they have acceded to my unspoken request. ;)

Connections #1

So are there any connection to speak of between the works of the inimitable Edgar Allan Poe and the visionary George Lucus? Well, most people would probably say "No". But I think most people would be overlooking some things. Most people don't know that Poe is credited as one of the first science-fiction writers. I will supply more references later, but one such story was "The Balloon Hoax", in which Poe talks of taking a balloon into space. No, there was no death star in it, but still.

So, the first, albeit tenuous connection, is the simple fact that Poe, being one of the forebears of Sci-Fi, was also Lucas' predecessor at his craft.

Stay Tuned!
