I know I'm being off here, so bear with me :o)
What about Admiral Daala, second in command to Grand Admiral Thrawn? She
was posted during the reign of Palpatine. Sorry. I are nit-picky.!?.
If he appeared sexist, it was most likely Mr. Lucas (the REAL Emperor!) as
he knew that female action figures just don't sell as well as the male ones
do :o)
Anyway, Star Wars has been nearly beaten like the proverbial dead horse,
nearly everything that could be done has been done in the SW Universe,
somewhere. I still like it, dream it and pay it way too much attention though!
I'm interested to see how Episode 2 turns out, how close to expectations
Lucas will go, and whether or not he lets the story feel more real than
Episode 1 did, which was kind of sterile you know.
By the way, has anyone read anything that explains where Maul came from?
His background? I think there is a book on him out now in hardcover, but
man I do NOT want to fill my library up with any more Star Wars novels
(giggle, snort!).
