Planets...
I use these spellings in the Holocron:
Gamandar
Glottal
Katorr
*Is it Jamilla (Ep. 2 Visual Dictionary) or Jamillia (Databank)? *
Jamillia. Some of the early scripts used both spellings, though I agree the pronunciation in the film sounds more like "Jamilla."

Tasty Taste:
*Are Hrekin Thorm and Threkin Horm different people, or was there just a spelling mixup?
I think they're different, but would gladly entertain suggestions to the contrary.*
They're definitely two people. KJA had intended it as a reference to Dave Wolverton's Courtship. The spelling was interpreted as a continuity error by the folks as West End Games, who promptly gave Hrekin Thorm a distinct biography in the Jedi Academy Sourcebook. He is from the Core World Fedalle, not Alderaan.
*"Sarlacc" not "Sarlaac"
"sabacc" not "sabaac"*
My greatest enemies.
Take care,
Abel

I always thought it was the latter, but pronounced like the former...

I have a few questions on the spelling of a few planets. Sorry I don't really have any info on them:
- Gamadar or Gamandar?
- Glottal or Glotta I? Both?
- Katorr or Katorrs? Both?
If you're wondering why I need to know I am keeping a planet/moon/etc. list that I mentioned in one of my blog entries: |

In the JAT, the keeper of the holocron was named Vodo Siosk-Baas. In I, Jedi, Stackpole calls him Bodo Baas. Which is correct?
They're actually two separate characters. It's possible they got mixed up somewhere along the line though.
Vodo-Siosk Baas
Bodo Baas
Just checked the UnOfficial Encyclopedia, and Mara had met Melina and altered the name for her use. Not crazy about that idea, but they covered it.
I think that was the author's intention the whole time. He did write both stories, after all.

one question, one comment.
In the JAT, the keeper of the holocron was named Vodo Siosk-Baas. In I, Jedi, Stackpole calls him Bodo Baas. Which is correct?
Also, in First Contact Mara Jade goes by the alias Celina Marniss, however there was another character by the name of Melina Carniss.
Kind of shows a lack of imagination to have characters so closely named.
Edit: Just checked the UnOfficial Encyclopedia, and Mara had met Melina and altered the name for her use. Not crazy about that idea, but they covered it.

Kelbis Nu, a rodian jedi from the NJO was refered to as 'Kubis Nu' in an issue of insider.
Jedi Kelbis Nu was confused with Rogue Squadron pilot Koobis Nu - two different characters, though some sort of relationship might be inferred.

Tasty, I know this isn't the place to ask this but since the VIP thread is gone I figure it's as good as any. I know you probable aren't allowed to answer this but, are we ever going to find out what happens to Kar Vastor and Nick Rostu after shatterpoint?

Is it "Klatooinan" or "Klatooinian"?
The "official" spelling is given on the first page of this thread.

I used to get mad at the little things like spelling, but after reading as many sw books as I have, I learned to correct it in my head and keep on going.

Dellow Felegates, anyone?
The one that really irks me is Hans Solo. Garrgghhh!
Right, I'm calm now.
Wasn't there a poll on this website about the most annoying spelling discrepancy in Star Wars?
Including Hans Solo, Princess Leah and Darth Vador.
Somebody find it!

The latter is more likely, since those are both more recent sources...

Is it "Klatooinan" (consistently used throughout Galaxy Guide 12) or Klatooin*i*an (consistently used throughout the Ultimate Alien Anthology and the Star Wars Encyclopedia)?
