From the prologue issue:
** Pages 84-85 Interview with Mr. Sumisawa (<--These are always interesting)
Just the parts that caught my interest.
- He was once in talks to write a novel called "Gundam W: Endlich(?) Eroica". It consisted of looking back at [the AC195] era from Treize's point of view but it was never finished and got shelved. However, he feels that over the years he's become less sensitive in a good way, and his novel-writing skills have somewhat improved, so he thought he'd give it a try again.
- The original plan was to add "Endlich(?) Eroica" to the Endless Waltz novel, but he shelved it when he realized that that would bring the series to over 5 volumes. (laugh) (<-- the EW novelization is 2 volumes long)
- The 5 Gundam pilots and Relena will make an appearance. (<-- Yay!)
- The story will jump all over the place between both the past and future, while centering around AC195
- New mobile suits will be introduced in the novelization but the emphasis will be on their militaristic nature.
- Why the new era "MC" instead of "AC"? He wants people to read the novelization while thinking about the connection between this new era and the AC one.
- He's writing this series as an experiment while thinking of things such as how to revive "something that has already fully concluded once", and "why sequels are so hard to get right". So this isn't really a true sequel, but a transitional novel to help develop a successful sequel.
- And this is also meant to be a work to bring Gundam W to the level of completion of the "First Gundam " (<-- "First Gundam" means UC Gundam)
