I needed to buy John and Jan some extra time. Originally, plans had called for Haden Blackman to be doing a few issues, but SW Galaxies, the books he penned for Del Rey, and the Clone Wars Adventures book took up all of his time.
I had an idea for an Obi and Anakin story, got it approved, wrote it, then found out that somebody else had already written a short story with a similar theme. So I changed it, turned the focus slightly and resbmitted it to LFL, only to find out a pivotal character I'd planned to use was temporarily off-limits. So, I changed it 'round again, dropped the character, reworked the opening and the ending, and finally got it approved. Of course, all that time, poor Brandon Badeaux was trying to draw the story!
