Heh, I supposed you'd start from the verybeginning, though I foolishly disregarded rule #1 ("Never underestimate Deathstalker's insanity."). Glad to see it confirmed. And good to know you've made such great progress - 15 years? Atta boy :)

Yup, this was one of the peculiarities of the old EU - there'd be tons of stuff, which would exist in only one place and never be mentioned anywhere else. Planets, characters, factions, technologies... anything imaginable could become this. And to make things more exciting, some other thing would blatantly contradict the earlier thing, creating alternate-reality canons. Sweet!

And don't forget "Han is a good guy, he couldn't possibly shoot first!" But who would notice this while they are busy listening for the icnoic bumb a stormtrooper's helmet against a door? Truth be told, there is one change that I wholeheartedly approve - replacing the original Episode V Emperor with Ian McDiarmid, for the sake of consistency not only with the prequels, but with Episode VI as well.

Baba Marta has an important mission - she has to defeat the vile Little Sechko (a supernatural personification of February), and thus put an end to the excessively cold days of the year. But, being an elderly lady, she is pretty moody herself, so she would often be nasty and bring storms.

Galactic Battlegrounds appeared on my radar quite a few times while I was looking for some fresh SW games to try out, and I think it's something I'd enjoy quite a bit, though Battlefront ultimately won my heart due to being a shooter. I was also considering Republic Commando, but hesitated due to its squad-based mechanics. GB is definitely on the to-do list - it could be my "Christmas present" this year (last year it was Serious Sam 3).

Not surprised about Vader - I guess anyone would be angry, if their private parts were burned in lava :P

A whole book of planets... and Volume I too. Sounds promising.
