The Beginning of the End

It's the first page of the final part of this epic. That's right readers: SWa9's days are numbered. But I'm going to do a big push for the next couple of months to get the site out there before the book ends. I'll probably try to get a Facebook 'Like' button on here in the next few days in an effort to increase exposure and get the word spreading more virally. There were social/sharing buttons last year but they caused technical conflicts making content disappear! You might also notice the site doing odd things while I wrestle with trying to implement multiple-templates.

Nyaaaaa.... shuddup!

Yeah, boring. Well, it looks as if our heroes were successful in storming the rebel fortress all guns blazing. And, all has been forgiven. In the novel, Red Leader stands up and questions the sanity of Dodonna's attack plan; in the film, it's some bloke or other; but in the proper SWa9 version it's Wedge Antilles. That's Ewan McGreggor's uncle incidentally. He asks a reasonable question, egged on by Luke; but when the rest of the congregation are silent, Luke orders Wedge to sit down as if he's an idiot. Ah, the joys of work!

Now, there's uninhibited youthful confidence in one's er... ability.

Where's Biggs?

The old guy looks like Father Christmas!

Do they call him Wedge because everyone keeps puling his underpants up over his head, or is that his brother Atomic Wedge?

I'm imagining his X-Wing hurtling along the trench with a a stream of tied-together underpants trailing from the window! That's probably what pushed poor porky Porkins over the edge.

BIggs? Of course Biggs will be in it. Otherwise how could he be dramatically killed off? :D

(Whisper) "Yeah, go on Wedge - you tell 'em. Go on, I'll back you up."

"I'd just like to say that we don't like the way you run this place. We want free Blue Milk, new X-Wings (these ones look beat to crap), statutory sick leave and we ALL want it now. Isn't that right Luke? Luke?"

"Shuddup Wedge - sit down, you're making an idiot of yourself in front of everyone."

"What about you Skywalker?"

"Uh, no - no problems sir. No gripes from me."
