    I maintain Luke needs to remarry and it should be Alex Winger.

    Arwen Cohl and Rella from Cloak of Deception. I liked them, that's a backstory I wouldn't mind seeing.

    The Nebula Front, too.

    I want to see COMPNOR and the ISB.

    They rarely get mentioned or used.

    ANNNNYYYTTHHIINNG podrace related frankly. ESPECIALLY Slide Parmitta from Episode 1 Racer because he is a dog man.

    Also Mana Veridi and the padawans from the Evil Eyes manga story.

    Them's fightin' words.

    That said, I much prefer the more lizardlike take on them that we saw in Mike Vilardi's art for WEG. Less like a raptor, less need to kill them.

    Use of more Characters from WEG and WOTC products.....Plat O'keefe.

    So lets use my favorite Lusa fan art by RogueDragon:)

    Xendor, he's been talked about for years, finally got a visual, now it's time to see the Legion of Lettow in action.
    Industrial Automaton and Cybot Galactica, often mentioned never used (Unless I'm mistaken....I really can't think of any time outside of being name dropped). Lots of potential when you have the biggest droid manufacturers in the galaxy, just need the right kind of story.

    I would not mind seeing non-Sith dark side cults in general. Prior to Episode I, the Sith were but just one dark side group throughout history, alongside the Krath, the Legions of Lettow, the Nightsisters, and the Emperor (who wasn't considered a Sith).

    The One Sith would be a lot more interesting to me if they were a new group that was formed by Krayt that did not call themselves Sith but had their own culture of sorts with the ritual tattooing.

    The Sith taking on a role as diametrically opposed to the Jedi, in lieu of the terminology of Dark Jedi, has eliminated that concept.

    Who is Winger? I know she was in VOTF but I don't know what the big deal between her and Luke is.

    She was from some of the Adventure Journal stories. I er... always found her rather annoying... but that's just me. I know a lot of fans think she was awesome. I guess she was... she thought she was too. She sort of struck me as one of those people with a "holier than thou" attitude about everything, and dangit if she wasn't always right.

    Give me a humble Zayne Carrick anyday.

    It's not just you. Alex Winger was a terribly written character. Her only virtue was that she was sometimes so awful she was hilarious.

    I have to admit I could not stand her either and I generally love most AJ stuff.

    The Sith amulets from TOTJ. They need some explaining.

    Yes! I remember years ago (looooong before KOTOR and TOR), some people on this forum had theories pertaining to the power behind Naga Sadow's gauntlets, which I believe were the first "true" Sith amulets we were introduced to in the EU (I think afterward other amulet-looking objects were enveloped under the same category). But there always seemed to be more to Naga Sadow and those chain-linked gauntlets than met the eye. They were sort of swept to the sidelines after a bazillion other magic artifacts were brought into the EU. I would almost prefer there were fewer... Sith magic has sort of lost its appeal now that everyone has a magic trinket or three up their sleeve.

    Of particular interest is that the amulets cause Marka Ragnos to appear. What's up with that?

    I disagree on that. Admittedly, you have to believe very strongly in your convictions to want to overthrow the Empire on your homeworld.

    When your father is an Imperial Governor.

    *AND* said Imperial Governor is the nicest Imperial ever.

    Even more so than Pellaeon.

    Governor Winger is not a real Imperial per se, he was a local politician that the Emperor just appointed as Governor because anything else would have been just more trouble then it was worth. Usually Imperial Governors get picked that are specifically foreign to the world as to not have to much sympathies for the locals.

    Samurai Jedi has popped up in three separate illustrations of that battle without any identifiers that I know of.

    Seriously, just make him Roni von Wasaki and be done with it.

    I second the idea that i'd like to see more of Farfalla's species. Very interesting and fantasy like.

    I always wanted a standalone focused on Jodo Kast, and since he's wearing the armor throw in Ailyn Vel as well.

    I fully agree on this one. If I have understood it right this is a force tradition that snobbs the jedi because a perceived abandonation and that the jedi follow a different family and teaching structure. Also their reaction to the Vong were something along the line of: "Not our problem.” followed by “Hej, they are killing jedis, who wants popcorn."
