LordOfTheFish Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Do you think the story and franchise will be dead by the time Imperial Commando is released? Personally, I'd say it's already dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astor Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Imperial Commando was canceled. Are you sure? Lucas Books says it's coming out September 2009, to be followed by yet another. Someone at Lucas Books needs to realise that Traviss can't wriite even if her life depended on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheFish Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Even if is released. I doubt many people would buy it, as you said, Traviss can't write. I wasn't able to even finish Triple Zero it was so boring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordOfTheFish Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 I never knew they even decided to make an IC game. I thought that was just fool's talk from n00bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 There was some concept art produced(Which can be seen in Rogue Leaders), and that was the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralPloKoon Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I beleive the book Order 66 is a continuation of the RC series in the Imperial times, i'm not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Imperial Commando was canceled. Sums up my response to anything about Republic Commando's future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheFish Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 I beleive the book Order 66 is a continuation of the RC series in the Imperial times, i'm not sure though. The book by Traviss? Then yes, sir, you are correct. Imperial Commando's release may possibly ruin the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberman65 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 You guys dont know what you're babling about. Seriously. Even with Traviss continuing the Republic Commando books starting with Imperial Commando: 501st they are still good. I love them and Im not the only one. Ive just started reading True Colors cause Ive been busy catching up on my gaming. She is excellent at writing the RC/IC novels. You guys dont know what you're talking about when you say she cant write and Im saying this as a RC/IC vet. Im not meaning any offence. And to answer your question they will last aslong as they have a decent story still going and lucas books wants it to. But you guys need to ease off Traviss. Shes one of my favorite writers. She does excellent work on the RC/IC novels and she did great work on the 3 LotF books she did. You guys should take another look at her work. Well thats my long rant/comment. Later.

RC-1183 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 i agree B65 Traviss did a great job with the RC books and they prolly will continue as far as the game unless some miracle from heaven happens then there prolly wont be a RC 2 or IC or anything to that extent. Other than that yeah you guys should lay off traviss read some of her other novels and see if you like it if not then fine you are entitled to your opinion.

Sev_vode an Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Traviss is an amazing author! You guys can't judge her when you haven't even read all her books. All the RC books have been great and I'm looking forward too IC when it comes out in september I think. But she is really a great author. If you didn't like the RC books, try her Gears of War: Aspho Fields. That was a great novel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralPloKoon Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The books may last a long time, and the game will probably become forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheFish Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 A great author to me is someone like H.G. Wells, or C.S. Lewis. Traviss is mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I think Karen Traviss' books may last for a very very long time at the rate they've been selling and her writing them. Besides, I like 'em, there not bad at all, maybe not H.G. Wells or Jules Verne, but hey, it's good:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheFish Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 They may last, but that doesn't make her a good writer. I personally like Hard Contact a little, but not that much. Triple Zero bored me after the first hundred pages or so. I never got around to finishing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read three of her books, and couldn't stand them. She constantly falls back on hero-worship instead of actually, you know, writing an engaging story. Her decision to kill off one of the best loved and well-developed EU characters was also terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple Zero bored me after the first hundred pages or so. I never got around to finishing it. Well, there are some who like it, some who don't, opinions are like that:D Personally, I rather enjoyed the books, but I didn't like their rebellious attitude as Mandalorians, maybe that's just me, but I wouldn't mind being the Imperial Commander who burns their homes to the ground... ...after that statement, I think I know that that was just me...

I didn't but never mind that, my point was stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
