A&A The Official Jason Fry Discussion Thread

So very sad, I sure hope its fixed to be two separate worlds in the new canon. May it live on in Legends, in my own mind at least. RIP Defender of the Core and of the Azure Imperium.

Only upside could be a good opening for a new planet destroying superweapon, but still not worth the trade off by a long shot.

 

I mean you could come up with all sorts of retcons, such as... I don't know, hyperspace weapon causes chunks of the planet to appear in the area of space where the action of Rebels happens.

But really, the simplist answer is, given this is a reboot they will do what they like. If they want to make Anaxes an outer rim planet they will do it.
I can't say I'm suprised. It's annoying and upsetting that long term fans are more or less completly ignored but this was always going to happen, we are just not an important enough demographic to bother thinking of.

Now can someone get me a violin so I can play myself a sad song to cry myself to sleep.

 

Warning: About to screw up this thread with an overly large image.

ANYWAY, I'm part of a killer lineup of Star Wars scribes -- Ostrander! Stackpole! Windham! Zahn! Me! -- discussing our adventures in the GFFA on Nov. 6 in Hartford, CT. Full details here. You should come!

 

That's the most mellow Darth Maul I've ever seen.

 

I used to live in CT, but now I'm on the wrong continent for this..

 

Would love to come but I am in the wrong part of the world with a student's budget

 

Something tells me she will not be fighting as if she's borg-implanted into a combat computer...

 

A Star Wars event that I can get to with less than an hour of driving? What is this madness? Well, I'll have to check my calendar and see if I can go to this!

That aside, Jason, I have a few questions since this is the A&A thread.

1) Were any of the SaberCats girls beside Merei? (Or a gender outside of the binary?)

2) Of the cadets at the academy, were all of the following guys or girls (or neither)?: Betancy, de Grom, Thurgos, Uzall, Wheeler

3) Were Gort/Vort and Ort killed when the Gray Syndicate got raided?

 

The Rae Sloane short sounds amazing. The Battle of Endor, sweet!

Actually all three of those shorts sound interesting, a new story with Hera and another with Count Vidian.

 

So that makes three admirals at Endor that we know of: Firmus Piett, aboard the dreadnought Executor; Jhared Montferrat, aboard the destroyer Devastator; and now Rae Sloane, aboard the destroyer Vigilance.

I'm pleased as peach to have Sloane at Endor; but news of her presence just begs for all the questions the Fleet Junkie crowd would want to know the answers to: how many Imperial admirals were there at Endor? And I should also mention that, seeing as the Essential Guide to Warfare just got the basic breakdown and numbers of the Imperial fleet at Endor (how many starships total, how many of each class, etc.) finally nailed down after decades, only to be decanonized with the rest of the EU soon after, I hope this short story would go a long way toward reestablishing those statistics.

 

That or the Empire just no confidence whatsoever in its Captains and seeing what happened at Hoth I can’t blame them.

 

I'm hoping the battlecruiser/comm ship Pride of Tarlandia will get an honorable mention. Or dishonorable, given the ol' Smoothie pulled a maneuver.

 

I really hope Ackbar gets some love in this novel.

Here's your chance to flesh out details of the Rebel Fleet at Endor. Those sorts of details, along with Ackbar, all lead to mortgage & beer assistance from fans like me.

Seriously, couldn't be happier to see you writing this. Well done!

--Adm. Nick

 

Hope you make it!

1) No, all the other SaberCats were male. By happenstance, not league rules or anything.

2) Unit Forn is the Academy's all-female unit. Betancy, Thurgos and Uzall are part of Unit Besh, so they wouldn't be female. Don't believe I specified what unit deGrom or Wheeler belonged to.

3) Yup.

 

4) Was the Gort/Vort thing in there just to mess with Wookieepedia?

 

So very true. The fleet could be fleshed out with some of the unnamed background models, too.

 

I'll just leave this here. Fun tale I hope you'll enjoy.

 

I will be honest and say AOTC was not one of my favorite SW films, but for reasons that might not be fair to the film itself. I was disappointed because it introduced so many ideas that couldn't be expanded upon in a single film. I've thought back on it and wondered if it was a problem stemming from the Hyperspace fan club and the old on-set webcam; every day we were seeing what would be qualified as "spoiler" stills and mulling over every little detail and background character, when unbenownst to us at the time many of these details and characters were in the film for a split-second (if they weren't cut completely) and would never get official names. My AOTC visual dictionary is missing most of its pages because I've reread it so many times since it's one of the best sources of any info on that film.

So it looks like it's time to learn Danish...

 

Do it, not only can you then read Klonernes Angreb: Den Ultimative Illustrerede Guide there are also so much Nordic Noir that you can read/watch in its original language. There are also some great comics that exist in Danish but not in English, like Valhalla.

 

God, I would have LOVED to get a peek at the Palpatine page...
