Michael A. Stackpole


Michael A. Stackpole is an author who works within the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Among his written works are I, Jedi, the Dark Tide Duology, and a significant portion of the X-Wing book series. In addition, he penned the short stories Missed Chance and Elusion Illusion. Stackpole collaborated with Timothy Zahn, another well-loved author among fans, on the short story Side Trip and the comic Star Wars: Mara Jade – By the Emperor's Hand.

The characters Soontir Fel and Corran Horn, both popular, were creations of Stackpole. He consented to portray the latter character for the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, in spite of the fact that every other representation of the character bore no resemblance to him.
