A&A The Official Jason Fry Discussion Thread

Do you think you will ever write any episodes of Rebels?

 

Oh, I like this question!

 

Never say never, but they've got a pretty great team in place already, and that's a rather different skill set than mine. I'd be thrilled with more opportunities to keep working alongside the show.

 

Star Wars Rebels Servants of the Empire: Edge of the Galaxy

That's a lot of titles. Thinking about the listed 160 pages and the grade level would it be safe to assume that Servants of the Empire is a series in the spirit of Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest? Those two were great world-builders because they allowed to tell what a Jedi's job actually is when there's no galaxy-wide crisis. Having something like that for Rebels would be great (like "A day in the life of an Inquisitor").

 

Warfare Author's Cut, Pt. 7. All clones. Some stuff it really hurt to cut in here. Hope you enjoy it.

 

I rather enjoyed the Kaminoan section- oddly, it reminded me of some bits in the Mass Effect trilogy where characters discuss just why humans have risen so fast, or why they're so genetically successful.

Also, it was a neat blend of fascinating and mildly unsettling.

 

Exactly the feeling I'd hoped for. Very happy!

 

REPORT TO COMPNOR FOR REEDUCATION IMMEDIATELY, YOU FILTHY TRAITOR.

 

Who would we compare Cad Bane to, if not the Duros? Even COMPNOR must admit that.

I enjoyed the bits of fluff about the medical technology (As an EMT myself). There has to be a lot more to galactic medicine than just bota/Bacta.

 

Tour schedule! Here's where to see me. Or, if you're differently inclined, how to safely avoid me.

 

I really enjoyed finally seeing the Panaka and Leia meeting on Hosk Station in Pt 6.

Thank you for providing Panaka with a first name. It has been my prayer for years now. (My latest prayer is someone officially saving Barriss Offee's character derailment).

I have to wonder though, what do you assume is Panaka's fate and how Naboo joined the New Republic? I assure you I am not saying it is canon but your own personal opinion. I always assumed that the Queen of Naboo (not Kylantha), the Boss of the Gungans (not Bosses Nass or Lyonie), Pooja Naberrie, Jar Jar Binks and other Naboo natives sympathetic to the New Republic removed him and surrendered Naboo without a fight and Pooja continued to represent the planet in the New Republic Senate and Council with a Gungan co-senator for some time before being replaced by Arani Korden.

 

Thanks for the kind words. To be honest, I didn't think about that. I was interested in that one snapshot, capturing a key moment with some depth to the characters and connections back in the saga. If I'm ever involved with a project that explores Panaka's fate, we'll see. Maybe someday....

 

Now that it's been posted elsewhere, I'll be at Star Wars Weekends as well. Will be there May 23-25, signing at the Writer's Stop each day. Looking forward to it!

 

Corte Madera? Hmm, only about two hours north of me. But I will be in the Central Valley of California that day at a wedding!

If you make your way out to California again, specifically in Northern California, let me know! I am sure I owe you at least a pitcher or two of beer for letting me have input on the manuscript of the EGTW.

Off-topic (apologies) but I loved this so much that I'm honor-bound to share it everywhere I can. Give it a shot.

 

Wow. That really puts things into some kind of perspective.

 

I've read Restaurant at the End of the Universe. There's no way I'm clicking on that thing.

 

That's a brilliant way to get your head around the scale of the Solar System. Everyone who writes sci-fi should have a look at that page (though it is pretty hard to get through once you're past Mars).

 

Kind of like the solar system itself! ;-)

 

The only problem I had with it was the lack of the asteroid belt.
