Randy_Stradley posted:I certainly did it on purpose, but I only (and always) had characters in "Acts of War" refer to him as "Soon Baytes." See, the thing was, Sue Rostoni would go through my scripts and if, for instance, I had a character refer to Yoda as just plain "Yoda," she would change it to "Master Yoda." So, I introduced a completely unimportant tertiary Jedi character named Soon Baytes, hoping that she would be going through the script, come across the character, and change him to "Master Baytes," and I could say "gotcha!" and then change the character's name to something more suitable. Unfortunately, she never requested the change, and the character went into canon, a not-so-witty time bomb waiting to be triggered. A lot of readers tumbled to it, and finally Haden Blackman felt he needed to release the tension in "Obsession."

My Bantam editor never spotted it, but Sue Rostoni did. She thought it was funny, too, and let it stay in. She even let me keep Jenos's line (relating to the artifact he was attempting to fence) that "It should be in a museum..." -Ann C. Crispin
