Apparently, there's gonna be one? This really snuck up on me, I had no clue until I saw the posts here that Leopardstar of all characters was getting one.
I have made no secret of my immense dislike for Leopardstar. She's one of my least favorite characters in the series, and I'll admit my knee-jerk reaction was "ew, no. not touching that." However, I have had my opinion about characters changed by super editions before. I didn't care much about Crookedstar until his, and as much as people dislike SkyClan's Destiny, it did make me care about Leafstar more. Maybe I'll give it a chance and see if it can at least make me neutral on her.
What about y'all? How do you feel about Leopardstar, as well as her upcoming super edition?

I don’t know. It has potential, but I don’t think the editors can do it right. They’ll make it some sob story about her one sided crush on Tigerstar.

Since Kate's writing it, and she's mentioned multiple times she'd love to write about Leopardstar, I think it can be written well. I just hope it's not some dumb plot over her love for Tigerstar or whatever, and is instead something like how she felt after he got Stonefur executed, or how she kept the loyalty of RiverClan after TigerClan.

I'm agreeing with Rockfoot in that I feel Kate would do well with writing it as long as she's not saddled with a bad plot to do so. She always wanted Leopard to have an SE and always wanted to write ABOUT her, especially the bonus of her being her favorite character (As opposed to them always giving her Squirrelflight's PoV which isn't great since she hates her guts >.>)
So it might depend on the plot. Good writing can be weighed down heavily with a bad plotline to go with it and all. Being saddled to write about Leopard mooning and moping over never being with Tigerstar is that bad plot and frankly wouldn't be a good SE.

i don't want to waste pages going over her backstory which we already know. and i DON'T want it to be about her feelings for tigerstar...so what the heck could this SE even be about? i'm starting to feel like unnecessary SE's are becoming a thing. so many should just stick to novellas and not waste our time with retelling stuff we already know.

I'm looking forward to it. Like everyone else, I hope it's not completely about her love for Tigerstar, but I don't think it will be. There's quite a bit of potential with this book, and Kate's always wanted to write about Leopardstar so I have medium-high hopes for this book.

I'll give it a chance, there are a few interesting things they can do here with Leopardstar. They would probably set it after TigerClan but before the Great Journey, but probably add a few flashbacks to TigerClan so we get more context. I could see them starting the SE at the moment she becomes leader, but that would be better as a flashback or prologue. Maybe they draw a parallel between Leopardstar and Sasha, two she-cats duped by Tigerstar, but hopefully they don't focus on the romance part of it (which I don't really see Leopardstar having a lot of romantic feelings anyway, she's pretty cold).
We could be able to see Mistyfoot's reaction to her brother's murderer becoming leader of ShadowClan, which is something I have always been curious about and wanted to see. I want to see Leopardstar and Mistyfoot repair their friendship and Leopardstar work to get her Clan to trust her again. She's always been spoiled by her Clan and her path to leadership wasn't exactly difficult (and she's rather young for a leader), so she's faced with insecurity she hasn't had to deal with since she was a dry-paw.
Maybe Leopardstar wasn't ready to be leader after Crookedstar's death, and the sudden responsibility scared her, which caused her to turn to Tigerstar. I can't see their alliance as romantic, I see it more as Leopardstar not having the confidence to stand up to him. This would be very interesting to explore, and by the end we could see her become more humble, but also confident in herself and her ability to lead RiverClan.

It would be a good book if it's written properly and without the romance.

I'm not really that happy about the idea, I could not care less about Leopardstar. I suppose I'd be less disappointed by it, if she wasn't against Onestar in the poll to get an SE, but I'd rather it be about a RiverClan cat who lived most of their life in the lake territories. I don't know what it could be about, other than her handing RiverClan over to Tigerclaw, but I honestly hope it's not about that, because isn't that what Feathertail's manga is about? Then again, other than having a few half-clan relationships, and a few battles over rocks, Tigerclaw is the only interesting thing to ever happen to RiverClan. I'll still read it, but I don't have high hopes of liking it.
