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)?

But we then have the problem that he appears to have been killed in Tattoine Ghost - then alive again in Dark Apprentice.
Exactly: Threkin Horm was killed in TG, and it was Hrekin Thorm in DA. Therefore I would have to assume they're different characters, although based on the description I think KJA meant for him to be the same, but that's gone by the wayside.
(This reminds me of how the two politicians named Doman Beruss have been established as separate characters because one was male and the other female.... ;))
Yes, I know this doesn't mean it can't be... but come on... Ronald Dumsfeld?
Well, it's not +im+possible, I guess...  (Well, the SW example isn't, is Dumsfeld a real name?  ;))

Jesmin Ackbar and Jos Vondar are the correct spellings.

In Jedi Healer, Vondar was spelled Vandar so many times that I didn't know which was the correct spelling for a while.

In the X-Wing serires, Adm. Ackbar's neice is part of the Wraiths. In one book it is spelled Jesmin Ackbar and after she dies, later books spell her name Jasmin Ackbar. Which is right??

The subtitles used in the DVDs provide great fuel for this discussion. For example, since the "Dak" spelling is what appears in both the credits and the subtitles of The Empire Strikes Back, moving forward, that's what we'll try to consistently go with for Luke's gunner instead of "Dack" Ralter.

Who knows -- maybe in Star Wars, some things have multiple spellings, just like in English. And maybe it's common in the GFFA to confuse "system" with "sector." 
Anyway, thanks for clearing a bunch of this up, Tasty Taste! |

*f I may voice my opinion, I'd like to believe Threkin Horm and "Hrekin Thorm" are single person. I realize it is a large galaxy... but what are the odds of there being two obese and rude (Dark Apprentice, p. 82) politicians in top government posts in a rather short period of time (three years?) with almost identical names except for the initial phonemes which are simply swapped? *
But we then have the problem that he appears to have been killed in Tattoine Ghost - then alive again in Dark Apprentice.

ad Hrekin Thorm

If so, what is the difference? Is holographic just a picture (graphic) and hologrammic words (telegram, grammar, cardiogram)?

Hologrammic?
I just picked up MEDSTAR the other day, and perhaps that was intentional? (or was it that the authors just didn't know or couldn't think of the proper word, so they said, hey, let's just use this!

This is not a discrepancy, but a typo. Typos drive me nuts. But in "Shatterpoint" (sorry, don't remember the page), but it has "retofitted." It seems to use the word "retrofitted" more than once, but that typo somewhat irked since it's such a good book. small beans, I know, but I don't like seeing typos, especially since a spellchecker could have easily found that -- but, a spellchecker is only as good as the person using it.

Surely holographic?
