Oooh congrats Quest and Talon! I should be resubscribing to Hyperspace like, tommorow, so then I can join in the fun again. Reading through the BFC books I've noticed that Kube-McDowell throws in an extraordinate amount of just throwaway names for planets that are just forgotten two pages down the line. It's good, it makes the universe seem real and beleivable. But I've decided they (and similar things) are a great resource for things like this. Anyone done anything similar?

For the last two I've formulated a little backstory, but haven't had the inspiration to carry it through to the end. Recently I've found the characters a little uninspiring - this week's especially.

I haven't been keeping up. How many have there been after the first six?

I hope there's another opera patron soon. I have a cool idea in mind. mischief

*grumbles* I had the perfect background for our Rodian thread.... until I noticed that the limit was 2000 characters and not 2000 words. *slaps his forehead*

Seeing that tomorrow is the last day of my trial, if anyone is interested in seeing or possibly even working with my idea, just PM me. I've managed to reference Shadows of the Empre, the Marvel Comics, Greedo's tale from Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, and various characters from the Original Trilogy.

*sigh* Oh well, It was worth a shot, I guess.

well considering that there was a vehicle in the first six, there might be a vehicle or ship or other non-character in this batch, which leaves next week or the week after.

yeah, I think we might see a "not a character" entry in each batch to maintain a variety- same way I think we can probably expect an opera patron and a Mos Espaite for at least the next few batches- Pablos said they're doing that purposely so after a winning selection is posted, people can try to connect to it in anotehr submission.

analyzing:

Batch 1:

1. John Knoll's cameo as an opera patron in ROTS. unnamed.
2. Mos Espa space man in TPM. unnamed.
3. Magaloof, Mr. "What the?" - Coruscant chase in AOTC. named.
4. Janu Godalhi (Pablo Hidalgo), opera patron, ROTS. named.
5. Swilla Corey, cantina scene, ANH. named.
6. UT-AT, ROTS. (unnamed i think)

Batch 2:
7- "She's Gonna Blow!" X-Wing pilot - ROTJ (unnamed)
8- Rob Coleman opera patron, ROTS (unnamed)
9- Kalyn Farnmir, Outlander patron, AOTC (named)
10- Rodian mechanic, Mos Espa, TPM (unnamed)

guessing on #11 and #12 - at least one will be from ROTS. one will be a non-character. the character will be human, though not a LFL cameo. one will be named. good chance that neither will be from the OT.

However there is room for any patterns to be broken- we've been told, for example, that we can expect an EU character eventually.
