Jedi as a collective noun? The novels mostly use Jedi as a collective noun, but George Lucas intermittently uses the term (shudder) Jedis.

I have an idle question on two characters from the final episode of the Ewoks cartoon:

Dr. Raegar or Dr. Raygar?
Admiral Kazz or Admiral Kaaz?

Thanks!

I think it's pretty well established that "Hutt" is the correct spelling

Yes, I'm aware. It was just a point of interest for me, and I thought I'd pass it along to others who may not have noticed the discrepancy.

I think it's pretty well established that "Hutt" is the correct spelling, since it's been used very consistently since then, even, I think, in the movie scripts.

Here's one I'm surprised no one seems to have brought up: in the first edition of Star Wars (novel) released in '77-'78, Jabba is a Hut, but in all later sources, he and his species are Hutts.

Scratch that. Sulorine is the spelling we are now using. Sorry for the confusion.

(Secrets of the Sisar Run, p. 26; explanation of error here).

Wow, that's ancient history. I wrote that last century. :) Good find, and it brings back fuzzy memories.

I have been stupid. I had forgotten, the WW's script is on Hyperspace. I checked the Borga thing :)

At the end of 'The White Witch' episode, Tig Fromm speaks of the swamps of a certain planet. Is that Borga? I don't have any subtitles on that VHS, so I haven't got a clue.

Thanks very much. I saw 'Coby & the Starhunters' again yesterday and sometimes the pronunciation sounds different than the actual spelling.

"Atrusian" or "artusian" crystals"

You are correct. It should be Artusian.

However, are you treating this as a misspelling of "Suolriep,"

Yes. We have no intentions of using the Sulorine spelling in the future.

We know that Vanden Willard served in the Suolriep sector ("Vanden Willard," SWCCG A New Hope expansion), and that an editiing error caused him to also have served in the Sulorine sector (Secrets of the Sisar Run, p. 26; explanation of error here).

Now, we know this was an error. However, are you treating this as a misspelling of "Suolriep," an alternate name for the sector, or a completely different sector that Willard also happened to have served in?

Getting back to the first page: so Willhuff of the Star Wars Chronicles book is an error which has been changed to Wilhuff?

Just checking...

I thought the correct spelling was 'Ralltiir'. I noticed a misspelling in the Revenge of the Sith comic, in which Captian Bacara was spelled 'Captian Bacarra'.

What's with that?
