Just wanted to reply here - this now exists. ^.^ Thank you again for your footage, some of which will also feature in any upcoming documentary I'm working on.

That's right! Kevin also chatted about it in May of 1996 - early fan forums were abuzz.

Ah the YJK show proposal. Rumors kept swirling for a few years even after it was shot down. KJA and Rebecca chatted about it here some in 1999. Could have been cool for sure. Just goes to show that running into a random Fox Kids exec in a restaurant can (almost) pay off. 😄

This is neat to see over here. :D Last fall I got to ask Paul Dini (Batman TAS) if he might have been interested in working on it back then, but he said he was glued to DC! Though the YJK show proposal never got further than an informal Fox Kids pitch, I still think about it sometimes.

Happy to share today that the NJO documentary series has been added to IMDb - feel free to leave a rating or review if you checked it out!

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social hey there! I just wanted to follow-up and see if you still were game to chat? I would love to have your voice in this production! Setting up some of the final author interviews now - would just be about a half hour, maybe in the coming weeks sometime, if doable

Awesome! I'm looking to release it in early 2026, so having a chat in Dec/Jan would probably be the timeline I'm looking at. I can be flexible with what works with you. How would you like to set it up? I can chat here but I'm also available through DMs or email

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social Hey there Mr. Stackpole - I wanted to reach out and say that I'm a big fan - lately I've been putting together a followup to the NJO documentary, getting interviews from Zahn, Luceno, Tyers, and others - was wondering if maybe you'd like to sit down & interview for it?

Thanks to you for being basically the only one anywhere saying it was real! That was the clue. ^.^

This is very cool! Just saw this today. A little fan-animated anime style teaser for the NJO, all drawn by hand (no AI).

also, almost forgot but worth a mention - @tomtaylormade.bsky.social comes up here too! Enrique Guerrero discusses the connection to the Vong in the Invasion comic series from Dark Horse

@holocronkeeper.bsky.social,
@troydenning.bsky.social, @rasalvatore.bsky.social, and
@lucyautreywilson.bsky.social all get a mention. Would have loved to have @michaelastackpole.bsky.social there as planned but illness swooped in - maybe another time!

Had a blast at Legacy Expo and this was a big reason why - this panel with Jim Luceno, Matthew Stover, and Enrique Guerrero discussing the New Jedi Order series! @legacy-expo.bsky.social filmed it and now it's out - enjoy! It was a great honor for me to moderate a panel with such talented writers.

I'm excited and honored to be moderating this NJO panel this weekend at Legacy Expo. It's gonna be a great time! In addition, at noon on Sunday I'll also be on a panel tackling historical influences on the SW saga. Should be a blast, and if you're coming, swing by and say hello!

An excellent podcast!

YouTube video by Star Wars Jedi Chat Podcast EP 19 JAMES LUCENO: ARCHITECT OF THE DARK SIDE

Mr. Luceno will be appearing at
@legends-expo.com this September in Burbank, CA, which is very exciting and should be a great event. This clip is part of an interview done recently with Star Wars Jedi Chat podcast that's well worth a watch/listen.

Thanks to Jim Luceno for this great shout-out to the New Jedi Order documentary in this recent interview! It was great fun speaking with the authors and putting it all together.

This is so great! When interviewing Jim for the NJO documentary, we discussed the conventions some, and he showed some interest. I'm so happy to see this happening!

James Luceno is sitting on a stone staircase with her arms crossed over his knees; he is wearing a backpack and holding a pair of binoculars. Next to him is a copy of the Darth Plagueis novel photoshopped into the image. The lower third of the image is overlayed with a transparent nebula, the Legends Expo logo, and the words "Meet James Luceno; Legends Expo, September 13 & 14, 2025 ; Burbank Marriott Convention Center"

Did you ever hear of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you…but we know someone who would. We're so excited to welcome James Luceno to Legends Expo this September 13th & 14th in Burbank, CA! Luceno is known for authoring 🧵[1/2]

Today I'm glad to share the 6th part in the ongoing NJO documentary series (just 1 episode left!).

Through the authors' words, this episode focuses on the proposed NJO novels by Timothy Zahn, as well as the Force Heretic books by Sean Williams & Shane Dix, with interesting insights.

Today I'm excited to share the 5th episode in the NJO documentary series, this time focused on Traitor & Destiny's Way, as well as Ylesia. This one is special to me, as Traitor is my fav book. Featuring amazing insights from authors Matthew Stover & Walter Jon Williams.

Tomorrow, the NJO documentary series delves deep into this timeless, profound novel.
