	Oh great. And five years could be wasted just because of that!1??? On the other hand, there's room for the possible Sequel Trilogy. -----signature----- Fleet Junkie and Proud! Fics: Destiny's Inferno (TTT/DE AU) And the Skywalker Saga KOTOR Style Updated 7/24/06 see bio for details

	Hmmm. While this does seem disturbing at first, I don't think it's that much of a problem. When you look at the Klingonese words that are similar to Yuuzhan Vong names, there isn't much of a difference in the root, but there is a difference - and when it comes down to a delicate matter such as language, I think that difference should be taken into account. Besides, I doubt that Klingonese is one of the most well-constructed fictional languages of all-time. I mean, come on, it can never match up to the history, structure and depth of languages such as Quenyan or Sindarin (Elvish languages). After all, Professor Tolkien was a learned linguist. What was the guy/girl who made up Klingonese? (I could be wrong in that last paragraph, but I'd like to think not.) -----signature----- "Show me the books he loves and I shall know a man far better than through mortal friends." - Dawn Adams "Music is the vernacular of the human soul." - Geoffrey Latham "A good story is any story you like." - Karen Traviss

	They actually teach both Klingon and Elvish as foreign languages in some universities. -----signature----- Noli manare, manare in memoria.

	Wait...this could be serious enough for LFL to have to decanonise the NJO?! Staaaaaang. While that'd be good (at least for me, who thaght that NJO largely sucked ) it might also cause Lucas to curtail, if not fold the post RotJ EU line. Which means...NO MORE X-WING!!!!!!! -----signature----- High Keeper of stuffed EwokWJFC New holiday fic! http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/29552605/p1/ http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=14345682&brd=10477&replies=8 Admiral, JO

	Don't worry. If they decanonize NJO, they'll most likely keep the Bantam stuff (unfortunately that covers Crystal Star, New Rebellion and the Callista Trilogy) -----signature----- Fleet Junkie and Proud!

	At least we can always take solace in the fact that if the Klingons were ever to square off with the Vong, there would be not doubt about the victor. -----signature----- Fleet Junkie and Proud!

	No, the Klingnons would win. In trek (in the most recent era's at least) some ships have survived supernova's. No SW ship (without quantium armour) can do that. Plus antimatter warheads=dead vong. -----signature----- This is my old username. My new one is Wes_Janson NJO sucks worse than anything before it, even Planet of Twilight.

	The Vong would win, by sheer numbers if nothing else. The original Klingons would have a fighting chance, but that was decades ago. The current water downed so-called Klingons of today would get beated even by the French, for crying out loud! -----signature----- Fleet Junkie and Proud!
