	TiePilot, thanks for your questions. Regarding more "Who's Who," there's a possibility that you'll see "Who's Who in the Imperial Military" somewhere down the line, focusing almost exclusively on the movie characters (not the EU additions). Regarding the updated plans for New Essential Guides, I have to leave the release schedule in the hands of Del Rey's publicity department. But of all the guides published so far I'd have to say that the Planet guide is probably the least likely to be updated in the near future, at least not until all the prequels are in and we can see what planetary additions George has added to the canon.

That would be great to see. Regarding the updated plans for New Essential Guides, I have to leave the release schedule in the hands of Del Rey's publicity department.

While I understand the reasoning behind that, like I said, I feel that the Planet guide is the one in most need of a re-release. Well, I wouldn't suggest doing something that includes all the new planets and stuff, but give it a bit of an update and make it look a little less...blah, if you know what I mean. No offense intended (you did a good job with what you had), but it isn't really on par with the others. -----signature----- Devi is my Padme Angel All Hail Megatron!

	Dan, any chance we'll see the ANH General Tagge expanded on in the possible Who's Who in the Imperial Military?

	Who's Who in the Imperial Military? Sounds like it should be a good read! -----signature----- Once a Talon, always a Talon http://www.TalonIntelligenceSquadron.com

	"A lot of characters made it into the Appendix. If I had to do it over again, one thing I definitely would have done would be to include a full entry for Tahiri..." What would it take to see a full entry for Tahiri in an upcoming issue of the Star Wars Insider? Were Wes Janson and Poggle the Lesser supposed to be in "The New Essential Guide to Characters" or were their entries meant to appear in Insider #59? I've chatted with artist Mike Sutfin in the past, and he seems like a nice guy. What are the possibilities of seeing him illustrate a Tahiri for an Insider article? -Mazz While you're at it, a full entry for Tenel Ka would be nice too.

	Can you tell us about other articles planned or were being written for Gamer that are now in limbo? For example, in a Literature topic you mentioned an article about the creatures from the Ewoks cartoon written with Amy Pronovost. -----signature----- The Hard-to-Find Comic Book List Thread http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=6102495 The Unofficial and Parody Comics List Thread http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=6307340

	"Who's Who in the Imperial Military" was written, but I don't know for sure what the Insider is planning to do with it. I think it's on the schedule but ultimately it's their call. Yes, we wrote about Tagge in it, but since it's a standard "Who's Who"-style article (with short capsule bios of all the players) it doesn't add much original material to Tagge's history. I hope to resurrect some of the articles written for Star Wars Gamer in other formats, but that's still a big question mark. I mentioned the "Castaways of Endor" article on the other board only because it's unlikely that that one is going to be resurrected any time soon.

	The Grand Admirals article was excellent. I especially liked Declann. The whole article isn't even devoted to the guy, and he's already become one of my favorite EU characters. Just out of curiousity, how good do you picture him being with force/lightsaber skills? The Emperor always seems to have a backup apprentice in his pocket, and this guy seems to be the perfect Vader replacement. (Other than Luke and pre-psycho Blackhole, of course. )

	Dan, I'm working on a web site of Star Wars EU material that "never came to be", so any info you'd be willing to share would be appreciated. -----signature----- The Hard-to-Find Comic Book List Thread http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=6102495 The Unofficial and Parody Comics List Thread http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=6307340

	Tremayne wrote: The Grand Admirals article was excellent. I especially liked Declann. The whole article isn't even devoted to the guy, and he's already become one of my favorite EU characters. Thanks for the feedback on Grand Admiral Declann! He's my favorite too. As you might have known already, Declann was the only completely original Grand Admiral in the article. We knew that we couldn't have more than 12 (13 when you count the Thrawn/Zaarin swap-out) and 11 had already been named in previous sources. So in our original list, Declann's position was a big question mark. I liked having a Force-using Grand Admiral, and I'd bet Declann is decent at lightsaber combat. But his primary skill is military strategy, starfighter piloting, and "Jedi battle meditation." It's not apparent in the illustration, but he accessorizes w/ black gloves and a black cloak over his white Grand Admiral's uniform. These bios are so short that we couldn't do a whole lot with them, but hopefully we've planted the seeds for further exploration of one or more of the Grand Admirals in some other format down the road. (FYI, fun fact: I'd originally written that the "captured Rebel" that Declann kills in order to prove his loyalty to Palpatine was Captain Panaka [another one of my favorite characters], but LFL said no way.)

	With luck, Declann will have a cameo in one of the upcoming Clone Wars novels/comics and have a book or two starring him after Episode III. If you have any clout, make sure to drop his name in a few conversations for me. Heheh. One last question, then I MIGHT leave you alone for awhile: who's your favorite Star Wars character?
