In a great Q&A, 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' author Karen Traviss talks about seeing Jabba "not as a giant slug but as the head of a massive crime syndicate, a being forced to compete in a world dominated by fast-moving, sneaky bipeds -- humans".
She also imagines a clone soldier's interior life, and spills the beans on what's coming up next in the Star Wars universe.
