Behind the scenes[]
I realize that the name Death Watch Revival is a sort of okay name for a RP Campaign, but not for a book. So I've changed the name to Rise of the Death Watch.
—Josh Bender, talking about the name change
Star Wars: Conquest was started sometime in 2005 under the name Death Watch Revival. The name was changed on January 21st, 2009 to Rise of the Death Watch. The author stated that the name wasn't good for a book.[3] However, after comments about the lack of originality to the name, the name was changed once more to Star Wars: Conquest' on March 14th, 2009 and announced on March 16th.[4]
