	Wasn't Xendor mentioned in the Han Solo Adventures as well? Or was that just Xim?

Well folks, Jason and I have just turned over the last of the Dark Forces pieces to WOTC. Look for the Minis and rpg series to pop up on their website soon.

	I would guess that the articles would be up this Thursday or the next. I like the idea of the RPG/minis article because it is A) Free, B) easily accessible, and C) provides much more information [as a general rule] than a normal literary work. I also like it that you are working to incorporate video games into the fold; they are IMHO some of the most ignored sources of information. Where else but Droidworks could there be a "Dance" computer virus... that might have possibly survived for years and caused the "droid ballet" Mara Jade found in Mysteries of the Sith. Wow, we sure talk about these DF things a lot, maybe they should get a thread of their own soon.

Rogue_Follower wrote: “I like the idea of the RPG/minis article because it is A) Free, B) easily accessible, and C) provides much more information [as a general rule] than a normal literary work.” Those are all definitely true in the case of this project. Each part in the series. Both minis and rpg, is pretty jam packed with bios, planets, adventure seeds and more. “I also like it that you are working to incorporate video games into the fold; they are IMHO some of the most ignored sources of information. Where else but Droidworks could there be a "Dance" computer virus... that might have possibly survived for years and caused the "droid ballet" Mara Jade found in Mysteries of the Sith. ” Ha! I think LucasArts video games have come a long way in their contribution to the canon since those early days of Super Star Wars, X-Wing, and TIE Fighter. I try to drop at least a few game references into each of my articles. In fact, Arden Lyn from Masters of Teras Kasi and Maarek Stele from TIE Fighter each got full write-ups in my first LFL piece. It just so happens that this time the entire project is based on video game characters. “Wow, we sure talk about these DF things a lot, maybe they should get a thread of their own soon. ” Any time someone wants to start one up, I’m game. Excellence wrote: “I'm interested in the Jedi Outcast apsect, how people can be converted into Jedi-class freaks is explained.” You probably won’t see this until the end of the Dark Forces series, Excellence, but I hope you like what I wrote about Desann’s antics.

	Do you delve into which Jedi in Luke's academy got killed during Desann's fall to the dark side? -----signature----- http://blogs.starwars.com/clibretto2/ A Member of the Star Wars Fanboy Association. http://www.myuselessknowledge.com/swfa

	I'm interested in the Jedi Outcast apsect, how people can be converted into Jedi-class freaks is explained. I always thought that the Valley of the Jedi was the big focal point for this. Granted, there were those neat crystals that were mentioned a couple o' times that the bloody Shadow Troopers employed that kinda focused on the Force on a person, but the main catalyst was the Valley on Ruussan. What I always got from the stories was that the Valley was capable of raising one's potential in the Force. If Qu Rahn is to be believed, It could've turned from a mere powerful Dark Jedi to having the powers of a god, if he had absorbed everything that was in there. When Kyle's powers had dwindled to basically zilch, following the events of MotS, he didn't want to retrain all he had, and had to raise his powers. Fly to Valley, absorb a bit of the Valley's power, and bam Instant Jedi in Kyle. Now with Desann, I think that he used the Valley for a different purpose. Instead of gaining all that power for himself, to raise his own potential, he used it to affect the potential and powers of those under him, essentially creating a Dark Jedi army, or as they'd call themselves, Reborn. The result itself was surprisingly good, but 'oi, I think Desann really should've bided his time a bit and given them some proper training. They did quite a bit of damage at Yavin 4, but they were still defeated by Luke's apprentices in the end. (still curious where they got all those red sabers from... a big lightsaber factory? From Ossus lightsaber deposits?At your local Jedi store?) When I first heard that saber battles were going to be frequent in Jedi Outcast, I cringed at the thought, and expected that there was going to be some sort of a cult that we had never heard about who was going to threaten everything. At least with the Valley of the Jedi, they used something that had already been established and the explanation of the Dark Jedi army was, at least, plausible. With Jedi Academy, the whole 'Sith Stick'-spiel felt more of an excuse and an afterthought. Of course, this doesn't necesarilly explain just who the Dark Jedi/Reborn is/are(depending on the difficulty) that Kyle faces in the demo. One of Fyyar's earlier experiments? Desann's apprentice(s) who was/were then replaced with Tavion? -----signature----- "The console to unlock the door is probably hidden in some room twelve floors up, or something.

	as far as i understood it, the reborn crystals and the staff of ragnos worked essentially exactly the same way: Suck up force spirits/energy from site A, dump it in Non-Force User B. Of course, putting the spirit of a dead dark jedi into the head of trooper - on top of all the clones other psycological problems, probably not so much a good idea. Oh, and the Mando and Droids articles were great. -----signature----- "In order to lead, a leader must know where he is going."

	The first part of Abel's DF series is up, by the way: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=swminis/article/kylekatarnstale Abel, I don't suppose you'd consider doing annotations for these, would you? I thought I was kind of an EU obscure reference stud, but your articles have shown me the error of my ways! I'd love to know where all of the references are from... -----signature----- "We're makin' you rich And you were already lazy.

	The article also had a reference to the Iron Knights. Very interesting info on the Dark Trooper project.
