	>Bast is on the Overbridge with Tarkin when Tarkin gives the order to fire. Either he's a REALLY fast runner to make it to an escape pod, or that's not the Death Star Bast in the Holiday Special.< The thing is that Bast surviving already made it into canon, kinda, in the conference room action figure pack. So that should be accounted for in some way. I agree that the man seen with Tarkin in that part of the movie could not have survived.

	I wish I didn't throw the box of the conf. room pack away. So it says he survived, huh? -----signature----- SPQR Vates Jυλιαδις Moribus antiquis res stat Romana virisque - Ennius Tu regere imperio populos, Romanæ, memento; hæ tibi erunt artes; pascisque imponere morem, parcere subjectis et debellare superbos - Virgil

	Yeah, the man you see in the Holiday Special is clearly his twin brother, Lesmod Bast. -----signature----- "Is there a captain's hat involved in this?" "I . . . don't know what department I want. I need . . . pants."

	Well, if Tarkin can have two lookalikes in Kirtan Loor and Aron Harcourt (though admittedly less so in Loor's case), then it's probably not too much of a stretch for Bast to have a lookalike of his own.

	Just a thought: perhaps Death Star and the Holiday Special take place in a shared alternative universe, where Bast survives and Khurgee says Bast's line during the attack: after all, Khurgee is described as a lieutenant in the docking bay, rather than the Captain he is in canon, and it's once again a lieutenant who says this line to Tarkin in the novel. - The Imperial Ewok -----signature----- A/T = OTP :===8[#]8===: Kyp/Jaina fans: stand up and be counted!

	I don't mean to sound like i'm bragging, but I'm really curious over something that's come up. You know how big chain stores have a tendency to offer hardcovers at a much lower price than the suggested retail? A Hastings in my area was selling the book for $14.99, about 42% off. Has anyone else encountered something like this, or is it pretty widespread on this book? -----signature----- No Signature Needed

	Am I the only one who has issue with the Rebellion sending in a huge carrier with 100's of X-wings??? The Rebellion isn't supposed to be anywhere near that powerful before ANH, right?? And is it just me or was it written so that the construction seemed to take place in a handful of months? It seems highly unrealistic.
