Spark Unlimited have just recently hired a Sean W. The exact surname is unknown but could this be Sean Williams, the one who wrote the TFU series?

I watched that video last night. It is defiantly interesting. Hopefully they make a decent single player.
He also wrote "Fatal Alliance" which was an Old Republic Novel. This most likely a coincidence, but then it get it might not be. You never know

Sean williams wrote the novelization. Haden Blackman wrote the storylines
Maybe just a script writer?

Interesting. I've met Williams a few times at conventions in my home city and he is very passioniate at writing science-fiction and being a self-professed nerd. However, I do not think Spark have employed him since it would probably be too costly for them to contract an Australian author to write the story for BF3 when they can just as easily (and cheaply) employ a US science-fiction/ Star Wars author to write it instead.
I'm confused, how did LucasArts make him write the TFU series?drunken hutt wrote:Interesting.

LucasArts would have contacted Sean Williams and gave him an offer to write the first book. They didn't literally 'make' him write it the way you're saying it. But as mentioned earlier the story/ script was all done by Hayden Blackman, but clearly LA wanted to further profit from the TFU brand so they decided to hire an author (and I don't know why they decided to choose Williams) to novelise the game's story and exand upon those events in narrative form.spartan64 wrote:I'm confused, how did LucasArts make him write the TFU series?drunken hutt wrote:Interesting.

When TFU2 came about, LA chose Williams to write that novelisation simply because he wrote the first one.
