Revelation has Darth Ceadus at one point. I know that's wrong.

Hi Leland,

I don't know if you have many Holocron entries for the old Ewoks cartoon series, but how do you spell the name of the mistress of the Snow King from the episode "The Season Scepter"? It might be Odra or Ogra.

Thanks,

~ Kiro

Hey Tasty--in Sacrifice towards the end a Tepheron is mentioned, and on the next page it's Terephon. I'm pretty sure it's been Terephon before, but I suppose someone should make onte for the paperback edition. Lemme grab my copy--page 345 midway down, "Tepheron", next page near top, "Terephon."

I hesitate to ask since I am probably the cause of it all, but what is the correct spelling for the surname of this guy? Scambras or Scrambas?

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

A belated thank you for this!

(Someone who has Star Wars Insider 27, though, said the spelling Raegar was used there in the Ewoks episode guide. I assume Raygar was the spelling in the original script for "Battle of the Sunstar"?)

Hi Tasty,

how do you spell the corellian nuts that are used in ryshcate? In the first X-Wing novel it's "vweliu nut" (and in Tales from the Empire and Triple Zero, according to CUSWE) , while in I, Jedi and From Pencil to Pixel: The Art of Star Wars Galaxies it's spelled "vweilu nut".

So far I've stumbled upon 3 official ways to spell Seib Nod:
  1. Seib Nod: WTS page
  2. Nod Seib: Chronicles
  3. Seib Nob: Dressing a Galaxy

Which one is correct?

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

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

Tasty, I noticed in your blog that its says Kir Kanos as KER-Kanos, but in the audio drama(crimson empire) they always say KEER-Kanos
I'll respond in the pronunciation thread.

Vinga or Binga? Vinga

Going back to lightsabre vs. lightsaber (pg. 2), the original Star Wars novelisation by ADF and GL listed it as "lightsabre", then Splinter of the Mind's Eye by ADF listed it as "light-sabre". I'm pretty sure everything since has gone to lightsaber.

Oh yeah, he might have....but since he's the only one, I would tend to think that it was intentionally because he was a kid and didn't know much about them.

I'm pretty sure Anakin uses the term "Jedis" in Episode 1, although you could argue that he's just a kid and grammar isn't a Tatooine slave's strong suit.

I'm assuming Lucas Licensing has a policy against "Jedis," since it just about never shows up in any of the literature. And Lucas never used it in the movies I don't think, so he's probably just being over-causual when he's talking.
