    Thrawn's full name is yet another testament to Zahn's "originality."

    What was one of Gandalf's other names? Oh yeah. [face_plain]

    Yes, I noticed the "Mithrandir" thing as well. Wouldn't consider it a sign of inoriginality, though. Assuming that it's intention (which I'm not so sure about), it could also be classified as a tribute. Didn't Kathy Tyers also name a couple of Vong creatures in BP after the swords from The Hobbit?

    Dev...
    I agree a single instance of lack of originality may be a tribute.

    However, an entire trilogy filled with "tributes" including major characters, plots, situations, etc. is... less so. [face_plain]
