Knightfall Trilogy

The Knightfall Trilogy was a three-book cycle set to be published in 2001 as part of The New Jedi Order series. Author Michael Jan Friedman was contracted by Del Rey Books and Lucasfilm to write the trilogy, which would have contained three volumes: Jedi Storm, Jedi Fire, and Jedi Blood. Knightfall was going to star the scientist Danni Quee and the Jedi Knight Jorallen, both of whom were caught up in the New Republic and New Jedi Order's ongoing war with the extragalactic species of religious zealots known as the Yuuzhan Vong.

After Friedman finished writing Jedi Storm, however, Del Rey and Lucasfilm Ltd. decided to cancel the trilogy. The Jedi Anakin Solo was slated to die in the upcoming hardcover novel Star by Star, and The New Jedi Order planning team wanted the books leading into Star by Star to focus on his character. Greg Keyes was thus contracted to write the Edge of Victory Duology, a pair of Solo-centric novels that replaced Knightfall. Although Jedi Storm had been completed, neither it nor either of its successors were ever published.
