Apparantly it's just a copy of Grievous' robot frame, wired up to a droid or something. Wondering if we'll ever see something more concrete on the matter. -----signature----- hey, who turned out the lights?

	I wouldn't be surprised if Necrosis (I believe that is the cyborg's name) is somehow tied to the GG comic storyline and is "padawan frames". -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

The Story of Greivous will go into a bit more background on the Huk and Kaleesh cultures. eddie1969 wrote: “Being a non-USian books/magazine collector is not always fun (I payed $ 67 for the Paizo-IDG transition issue of Insider...)” Zounds! I have an extra issue Insider #82, if that helps any. Tam_Elgrin wrote: “Great news Abel!

Those seem to be the main way to blast out of a corner in this universe.” I’ve used the clone fix twice ::shudder:: for two of the ugliest continuity errors ever seen, one using Spaarti cylinders and the other Kaminoan technology: the death of Sate Pestage in the X-Wing comics and Boba Fett’s involvement in the Clone Wars as a Mandalorian Supercommando. Even though I think these were done in reasonably good taste, at this point I’ll go to almost any length to avoid resorting to cloneage in order to address a booboo.

	Zounds! I have an extra issue Insider #82, if that helps any. Thanks, but I am already up to # 83... (Although it is sometimes with great difficulty, I always try to acquire the new Insider within a couple of weeks after the US release-date: and with such a great article ánd the return of HoloNet News, # 84 is one of the best to come out since they first introduced original fiction into the magazine). -----signature----- EUDF Rogue 5, Captain check upcoming books and comics at http://www.starwarstimeline.com and through http://www.twitter.com/onceuponagalaxy

I have to agree with ya, eddie. Along with the Grand Army Guide and the return of HoloNet News, this looks like it's going to be one of the strongest issues to date for IDG as far as EU fans are concerned.

	Rogue_Follower posted: But of course. Anything drastic, or just a few nods here and there? Assuming it's approved, there's one old school ref that might might be considered a major retcon as far as its potential ramifications. The rest are small nods. Rogue_Follower posted: Just a question here Abel, but do you collect TPBs or individual comic issues or both? (I'm asking since you must have included some info on the GG comic, which isn't out in TPB format yet. That would pose a problem to a writer who only buys TPBs. I used to collect both. Nowadays, I wait for the tpb. However, when I get an assignment that requires me to have the most up to date sources, that rule goes out the Windu. (I'm here all night folks. ) Seriously, with the Story of Grievous, I immediately called up all my local comic shops (which aren't so local ever since the two nearest me went out of business this year) and tracked down copies of Greivous #1-3, the only ones that were out during the time I was alloted to write the piece. For details on #4, which I needed, I contacted Holocron Keeper Leland Chee who looked over the Dark Horse outline for #4, and answered my questions. #4, of course, has since come out, and I'll probably just go ahead and buy it this week, in case my editor asks me to make the edits Lucasfilm has requested to the piece, which he usually does.

	This keeps getting better and better! I forgot that the Grand Army-article will also be included in Insider # 84!!! (Read about this at Karen Traviss's blog). I hope that this means that in the coming pre-tv-years we get a lot of more of these issues!!!!

	Are there a lot of references to the GG comic series? Will we finally find out the names of some of the Jedi in there. Given that I'm compiling a list of Jedi, it kinda cheesed me off not ever being given half the names. -----signature----- "You know, you're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain."-Fourth Doctor

	Halagad_Ventor posted: Hey Bootleg. There will be art, but Joe and I will probably not be working together on this one. Sad, I know. We did just turn in some new proposals together, though, so we'll be sure to let you know if any of those pan out. Take care, Abel And I would have loved to have come up with some new artwork for your Grievous article too He's one of my favorite characters. But I couldn't just let this issue of Insider go by without some sort of Pena/Corroney collaboration. So look for Abel in HoloNet News -----signature----- Visit My Official Website: http://www.joecorroney.com/ MySpace Profile: http://www.myspace.com/drawingintheempire Star Wars VIP Blog: http://blogs.starwars.com/joecorroney/
