Michael Austin Stackpole (born November 27, 1957)([[http://www.stormwolf.com website]]) is a ScienceFiction and {{Fantasy}} author probably best known for his contributions to the Franchise/StarWarsLegends and the Franchise/BattleTechExpandedUniverse, but who has a number of original novels to his credit, mostly LowFantasy with the occasional HighFantasy for good measure.

In the mid-1990s, Stackpole was tapped to join the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse (now Legends), in both novels and comics. In contrast to most authors working in the universe at the time, who focused on Luke, Leia, Han, and epic galaxy-spanning plots, Stackpole pulled back, and told stories that were smaller in scale: the Literature/XWingSeries, focusing on AscendedExtra Wedge Antilles and the elite Rogue Squadron. After trading off with Creator/AaronAllston for a couple of novels and contributing a few short stories, Stackpole turned to the Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy, writing the standalone novel ''I, Jedi'' starring his original character Corran Horn. He was on the planning board for ''The Literature/NewJediOrder'' after Del Rey took over the license and wrote the ''Dark Tide'' duology (cut down from a trilogy, which meant several ideas [[WhatCouldHaveBeen were scrapped]]), but hasn't returned to the universe since. Unless you count ''[[DevelopmentHell The Reenlistment of Baron Fel]]''...

Generally speaking, all Stackpole's ''Star Wars'' books include lots of [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nods]], [[CallBack Call Backs]] and [[CallForward Call Forwards]] to pretty much every other Franchise/StarWarsLegends book that was in existence at the time each book was written.

written, which was part of the reason he got the job of helping plan out ''The New Jedi Order'': his role was essentially to be the continuity wonk.

!! Tropes in Stackpole's work:
* ArcWelding: He was one of the later authors to start writing for ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' and is partly responsible for it actually becoming a proper continuity in the first place. The earlier works in the setting did often refer to one another, but there was no central planning and books [[ContinuitySnarl/StarWarsLegends contradicted one another just as often]]. Beginning with the ''Literature/XWingSeries'' and continuing through his involvement with ''Literature/NewJediOrder'', he did a lot of work to weld together the earlier-written books and comic series and subtly explain away discrepancies between them. Creator/AaronAllston continued this trend in his installments.
