A&A The Official Abel G. Pena Discussion Thread

Indeed it is. The quote is taken from the Iron Knight your character meets, though I'm pretty sure Dan supplied the name.

Diffuse the head bomb!

I can tell you we definitely still want to do it, so there's a decent chance it'll still come about. We'll probably discuss it some at the SD comic con.

Speaking of which, anyone going?

 

I so very much wish.....SDCC, CIV.....as in the past, I'm forced (financially an geographically) to miss all the fun...


Thanks for the tip on the "future project." I will not explode right now, I'll wait patiently to hear more word on this...patiently.....gnawing on my fingernails......

 

In the meantime, I just posted Endnotes for The Story of General Grievous, Part 3: The Dreamt One on my blog. Check it out!

P.S. Boy, I do tend to give my projects long titles, don't I?

 

It's off to Comic con folks! You'll probably catch me hanging around Joe Corroney's table, as usual. See you there!

Take care,
Abel

 

Did you see the cute Blackhole Stormtrooper or the Blackhole "Shadow" Stormtrooper while you were at Comic-Con?

Hasbro sure seems to love that stygian triprismatic polymer, don't they...

 

Don't we all?

I forgot all about those. But you can bet I'd swoop up a Qymaen jai Sheelal or Halagad Ventor exclusive fig quicker than you can say fanboy.

 

I wish they'd make a Qymaen jai Sheelal, Ronderu lij Kummar, and Huk Warrior 3 Pack.

 

You and me both, Super. In truth, and this is completely my based-in-factlessness gut instinct, I actually think a Qymaen fig is something they'll eventually do.

 

If they ever bring back the Evolutions figure sets he'd go great in a Grievous set.

Super Articulated Qymaen jai Sheelal w/ Czerka Outland rifle
Post-Shuttle Crash Pre-Suit Grevious w/ Bacta Tank
Super Articulated General Grievous w/ soft goods cape w/ pockets in it for his lightsabers.

 

Bah. We need a Trioculus figure..

A small preview, perhaps, of things to come: The Glove of Darth Vader, under new management. (Just a snippit of the whole thing, mind you, and Azrakel is nowhere near finished. But its a start...)

Incidentally... are there any pictures of Kaan's Sith Amulet, or is it something you created just for END?

 

Very cool! I look forward to the finished product.

Kaan's Sith amulet is new for END, but I was basically thinking of the amulet Exar Kun used to defeat that dark side creature in the Dark Lords of the Sith series.

Not that big gold thing, is it?

To be fair, that's more of a brooch.....but still...

 

I can't see the image.

In any case, if we're talking about what I think we're talking about, the Exar Kun version was only an inspiration for the idea. We all know that technology gets smaller and smaller.

Note that Kaan wears gloves himself.

 

Its the same image that you linked to.

In any case, we have at least one Sith Amulet on the loose, one which Vader has shown interest in before... (Though, it doesn't appear to be the "glove-type" amulet.)

 

Ah.

Everything's negotiable.

 

does anyone else think its time for us to see one of these guys as a jedi?

I'd love that. Durn copyright issues.

...and for your low-brow perusing pleasure, Cussing In A Galaxy Far, Far Away has at long-last been updated with a good 25 new Star Wars curses. Enjoy!

Take care,
Abel

 

Abel,

(Bloodlines spoilers - Mods, if even this cryptic word is a no-no here then delete it.)

Condolences...

 

I absent-mindedly highlighted the word, and it told me everything I needed to know. You sure packed a lot of spoiler into four little syllables.

 

I've had to harbor this secretly for about a year. It...hasn't been easy.

 

Just how much consulting work do you do with other authors?

I know you did a lot with the NEGtD, or at least Dan makes it seem like a lot, and you've been credited in some of the other guides. But how much input have you had over the years?

 

Oh well, there's still everything before Bloodlines yet to explore.

Has Ms. Heonis been made aware? Or does she even care about the character?

I admire your stoicism...

It's always a tragedy when a parent outlives their child. Never mind, you....uh...I mean Boba...got a grandchild out of it...

 

Do you think Speilberg would mind?
