Star Wars fans, maybe some of the most passionate and loyal of all fans, will get the special pleasure of trying to name a new Sith lord in a newest installment of the Star Wars novels.

The book, titled "Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice", is set to be published on Could 22 by Del Rey Books.

Del Rey and the author, Karen Traviss, obtained permission from the Lucasfilm Organization to name the new Sith lord in the book, and the firm decided to hold a contest among fans to name the new lord. The winner will be determined by Del Rey editors and Lucasfilm employees.

"Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice" will focus on Jacen Solo and his descent into the "dark side". He is the son of Princess Leia and Han Solo.

Star Wars fans, numerous of whom get pleasure from the series of books delving into numerous aspects of the Star Wars empire, are invited to provide their ideas for the new Sith lord. As Jacen Solo delves deeper into the Sith planet, he will have to take a new Sith name to signify his allegiance to the dark side.

Fans are invited to enter the naming contest at the Del Rey Star Wars site. To enter the contest, fans have to be registered at www.starwars.com. To enter the contest, fans should be at least 18 by Oct. 3, 2006 and be U.S. residents. Soon after the contest ends, Del Rey editors and Lucasfilm workers will pick the best 5 names and those names will be listed on the Star Wars internet site. Then, amongst Jan. 23, 2007 and Feb. 27, 2007, fans can vote on the names.

The grand prize winner of this contest will not only see their chosen name in print in the book, but will also get particular recognition on the acknowledgement page of the book. If two men and women enter the identical name and that name is chosen, the grand prize winners will share the recognition.

Fans are excited about the contest, reporting on message boards they are carefully thinking about the name of the new Sith lord, which needs some consideration of names currently in use and the various plot points that may possibly come to fruition in the new book.

Some fans report they are leaning toward Latin names, whilst other people indicate names like Darth Omen may well be excellent, considering that Jacen would most likely see that as befitting his position as he leans more and much more toward the Sith life.

A lot of fans are excited about this naming, due to the fact Jacen may well be as strong and dynamic a Sith lord as Darth Vader, so the name chosen need to be in tune with that possibility. facebook likes
