Blood Oath cover revealed!
Dave Seeley! Jedi! Hot chicks! (Leeloo? Is that you?) What more could one ask for in a Blood Oath cover? How about a summary? It contains some LOTF spoilers, so read it at the link or under the cut.
Once an orphan scavenging on the streets of Coruscant’s undercity, he rose to become a Jedi Knight and serve with honor as a fighter pilot for the New Republic. Alongside Jaina Solo, he confronted the forces of Darth Caedus — the most powerful of the Sith Lords — in a battle that nearly destroyed him. But his story isn’t over. For Zekk, the future holds much more. . . .
Darth Caedus is dead, and the war is ended. Still, the Imperial Remnant remains a very real threat for the Galactic Alliance. And though the Moffs’ attempted assassination of Tenel Ka, Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium, has failed, their machinations have uncovered an ancient secret capable of destroying the queen and her people as surely as the deadliest attack.
As Jag Fel, Imperial Remnant leader and Zekk’s longtime rival for Jaina Solo’s affections, assumes control of the Moff Council — stepping right into a nest of explosive intrigue — Zekk, desperate to contact his Jedi comrades, finds himself at the mercy of a pirate captain with an unknown agenda and allegiance to none but herself. But with or without her, the Knight vows to do whatever it takes to stop the volatile conflict unfolding around him from reaching its fatal endgame.

Blood Oath Cover And Blurb
The long awaited cover for the upcoming novel Blood Oath has been revealed on the Official Site, along with a great blurb about the book. The cover can be seen below.
I personally love this cover - Zekk, with the Zel twins (Taryn and Trista, who you might remember from LOTF: Invincible) right behind him. The blurb can be viewed on the original article on Starwars.com here. Be sure to also discussing Blood Oath on our forums here! 
Blood Oath comes out December of this year, 2009, which will no doubt be a great Christmas present for us Star Wars fans!

Something’s actually rotten at Livejournal this time
To be honestly I though Strikethrough and all the related panic-filled hubris about naked Harry Potters were much ado about nothing…. But Livejournal has finally done something to make me worry about the future of the site: They’ve laid off their product managers and engineers, according to Valleywag. Is the end nigh? Or will LJ’s large user base find some sort of salvation? Back up, and stay tuned…
UPDATE: There’s another report on LJ itself. It has a smaller number of layoffs, and lots of links, and I’d trust it more than Valleywag. Though I’d still do a backup.

Rumor: The Clone Wars on DVD in March?
TFN has a source saying that there are tentative plans to release the first set of The Clone Wars DVDs - the first part of the season - on March 25th. (A Wednesday? One strike.)
Assuming Cartoon Network takes no more breaks, the season’s last episode will air on the 20th… And perhaps the second half on DVD in June, if any of this pans out.
UPDATE: And things just got a lot more solid… it’s in Previews! Click over to the TFN link for scans.
