General Tagge does not get a name in the "Who's Who" article. However, he might get a first name in a different upcoming project... hmmm hummm tum tee tum...

One last question, then I MIGHT leave you alone for awhile: who's your favorite Star Wars character?

It's a tie: Lando Calrissian and C-3PO.

Oh, sure, drop hints. Drive us crazy. We don't mind, do we? wink

BTW,I was paging through a copy of your New Essential Guide to Characters at a bookstore the other day, and I was pleased to see that the whole Rogue Planet/ JA SE inconsistency has been fixed. Thanks. Also, I had read The Way of the Wookiee on TimeTales just a few days before, so I was pleased to see the reference in Chewbacca's entry to the story, as well as the incorporation of Hronk (SP?) into the events of the Chewbacca comic. That was a nice touch.

So, now that Insider is printing short fiction, any chance we'll see another Dan Wallace story? Hmmm? wink

There's a couple fun things in the Gamer article that we didn't have room for in the Insider article, such as the names of the Grand Admiral's Star Destroyers (and thus they aren't official).

Elaborate? wink

Like I said they aren't official, but here's what we would have named the Grand Admirals' Star Destroyers if we'd had the room:

Tigellinus: Avatar
Batch: Meniscus
Zaarin: Glory
Teshik: Eleemosynary
Syn: Fi, later renamed Silooth
Makati: Steadfast
Grunger: SSD Aggressor
Il-Raz: Emperor's Disciple
Pitta: Impenetrable
Takel: Magic Dragon
Declann: Recondite
Grant: Oriflamme

(I loved Takel's...)

Dan

So drink one more round on me
Let’s sing an old melody
Hold your drinks up high, and toast the night
Hold your baby strong, help me sing that old song
I think that one more drink, might do me right

A lot of those Star Destroyer names did get in the Insider article.

Come on, People!!!

"Magic Dragon"????

Dan . . . you and Abel . . . ya'all were having "too much fun" with this one!

Ana V

P.S.

I like that Grunger has SSD Aggressor. It fits well with Pete Schweighofer's SWAJ # 2 piece, (and when combined with other insights you've shared in this area before.) Take care!!!

There is an "Aggressor" in the Rogue Squadron novel, but its class is not said. Later on, though, Isard comments that the arrival of a SSD over Borelias convinced Derricote to come to coruscant as per her wish.

They could be one and the same.

Beaming with pride, the filth they hold,
But when the wind blows, my temper implodes,
High above a pit, filled with sharkticons,
Down will come hardcover addicts, beaming no more. ©

Dan,

The names of the Grand Admirals' Star Destroyers are cool! I also like Magic Dragon. Could it be nicknamed Puff?

Absolutely. We established in the article that Takel was a heavy drug user, and the buzz of course on "Puff the Magic Dragon" is that it's a coded reference to marajuana use. (Urban legend? Maybe.)

I just finished working on a big project for Wizards of the Coast that should be out in 2004. I've also got one more Essential Guide in the works, and there are a couple other things cooking that I can't talk about quite yet. But things are good!
