    It sounds more like the plot of a new Jedi Knight game, one can only hope.

    Kyle's disappearance is the plot of the adventure seed seen in Part 2.

    I don´t think he gets mentioned there, he´ll be back alive and return as a hero having killed Lymia even before the post-NJO series starts!

    AWESOME stuff. I would like to reiterate the request for some sort of annotations for all of the obscure references, though. It would be great to run them all down...

    No he should not kill Lumyia, as that is not cool. She deserves to live.

    Also Abel I loved this article and I hav e never even played Dark Forces and help me understand what they were about better.

    I dunno, i think if anyone kills her it should be the other fan favoirte excluded from the novels cool character.

    I like that Kyle is essentially being retconned into the entire history of the Star Wars Universe.

    I doubt Kyle's disappearance will be mentioned in any novel. It seems to me to be exactly what it is: a adventure suggestion for an RPG campaign. They abound in RPG sources without ever being fully detailed. A nice wee idea but I doubt we will see more about it except in similar sources as this.

    Abel, a q. Are there more articles in the Dark Forces series to come, or just more mini adventures?

    I am not sure. We saw him incorporated at least unto TUF (really short but he's still there). I think his character is too cool to leave alone...although my fear is he would be in a sense dipicted just like corran.

    Ok, let me put it this way then. I doubt that particular story idea will feature in a novel, ie the Dark Nest Trilogy as some have speculated.

    May be referenced in Guide to Characters style books, but not in its own feature. I'd be happy to be proved wrong though, but Kyle's mentions in TUF were minimal, you have to admit. Still, he has been getting more and more coverage lately...

    Also, cool to see Bey get a mention in this article.

    Yea. I agree. We can only wish and hope that maybe Stackpole will pick him up or maybe another EU author. Maybe me!

    Hey folks! Glad so many of you are enjoying the DF saga. The publication of parts 1 and 2 caught me by surprise, but I'll swing by later to start answering some questions.

    Take care,

    >>Kyle also took part in a SpecForce mission put together by Rebel operative Corwin Shelvay, in which he teamed up with Force-sensitives Shira Brie and Erling Tredway to render inoperative the superlaser of the second Death Star en route to D'rinba IV. <<

    Good way of working in Vader sensing a Force-sensitive aboard... though they'd have ahd to have failed though for the board game's events to fit, wouldn't it?

    >>So does the mean Dash and Guri are rolling around the galaxy together? <<

    Though I find it odd that Dash and Guri would be working for the NR, yet the Solos don't know he survived SOTE during the NJO (going by that short story set around the FH trilogy).

    >>Kyle's mother was killed by a BT-16? Aren't those the Perimiter Defence droids that the B'omaar monks use as brain spiders?<<

    I believe they are...

    Stormtrooper #1: "You see that new BT-16?"
    Stormtrooper #2: "Yeah, some of the other guys were talking about- they it it's, it's quite a thing to see."

    But wouldn't that imply they were introduced recently by ANH? How could a an old used one have killed Kyle's mother BEFORE he joined the academy then?

    It's like the re-release of a classic car.

    R2 units continue to sell despite being on the market for over a century

    Dark Forces is not part of continuity. It is stated somewhere

    I'm sorry, but you're mistaken Master Bnar.
