“The Nihil Are Brutal, Savage Marauders, Based In The Outer Rim,” Says Charles Soule, The Writer

“The Nihil are brutal, savage marauders, based in the Outer Rim,” says Charles Soule, the writer of Light of the Jedi, his upcoming novel. “They’re the stuff of nightmares, able to appear anywhere almost at will. They use bizarre, intimidating tactics — chemical weapons, poison — anything that might kill you, they’ll use.

“The Nihil are organized into three main divisions called Tempests, each with its own captain who wields total control,” Soule continues. “They are frightening in a way that feels great for Star Wars, in part because their ‘code,’ if you can call it that, is so simple: the Nihil take what they want. If you stand in their way, they will kill you and everyone you love. But even chaos agents can have goals…and the Nihil’s plans run directly through both the Republic and the Jedi Order.”

Doug Chiang’s Concept Art For The Phantom Menace (1999) Remains One Of My Favorite Things About It.

Doug Chiang’s concept art for The Phantom Menace (1999) remains one of my favorite things about it. It shows what could have been: a black-clad Obi-Wan, going at it alone, and Geonosians in the place of Neimoidians.
