An interview with Troy Denning,

author of Star Wars: Tatooine Ghost

Del Rey: Star by Star was your first book in the Star Wars: The New Jedi Order series. Now comes Tatooine Ghost, a novel set many years earlier, just after Han and Leia’s marriage. Were you able to apply any lessons learned from Star by Star in writing Tatooine Ghost? How was this experience different?

Troy Denning: I had a better idea of how the review process worked and knew how supportive it would be. The editors at Del Rey and Lucasfilm are focused on helping the writer tell the best possible story, and their support makes a huge difference. With Star by Star, I was a worried about making continuity gaffs and a little hesitant to take detours that weren’t in the outline; with Tatooine Ghost, I felt free to do whatever the story needed because at worst someone would say, “That doesn’t work because of X; maybe you should try Y instead.” And I knew that if I did make a continuity error, there would be a dozen pairs of very sharp eyes ready to catch it!

Obviously, I also had to adjust my thinking about Han and Leia. This story occurs in a much happier time for the Solos, before Chewbacca’s death forces them to come to terms with their own mortality. In Tatooine Ghost, they still have that youthful feeling of invincibility, and the confidence that everything will work out fine in the end. Obviously, it sets a little lighter tone; while the emotional stakes are still very high, the complications are not quite so shattering.
