. First off, we have the writers that are staying in. These requirements are low, just having added a good book to Star Wars before, during, or after NJO. These authors are: R.A. Salvatore, Michael Stackpole, James Luceno, Kathy Tyers, Aaron Allston, and Matt Stover. This means that books 1-6 are closed, as well as books 11-13, and book 19. .However, there are multiple authors that are getting removed. These are: Greg Keyes, Troy Denning (NOT TROY DENNING), Karen Traviss (NOT KAREN TRAVISS), Elaine Cunningham, Walter Jon Williams, and Sean Williams. This makes books 7-10 and 14-19 open for new authors. . We now need to replace 6 authors, 1 trilogy, 1 duology, 3 standalones, and 5 half novels. Here's the replacements that follow: . Timothy Zahn of course gets the trilogy, taking the place of Force Heretic, and he also gets one of the .5s. .Drew Karpyshyn gets the duology and one of the .5s from his works in the old republic era. .KJA gets a novel, and that's it. .John Jackson Miller, A.C. Crispen, and Michael Reaves both get a novel and a point .5.
