We might have to chalk it up to the bottom line is still the almighty dollar.
Pelleon [sp?] lived to around 90, too.
Troy McClure thinks she should be laid to rest, as well. :(
I recalled seeing the name in Allies IIRC, but figured (hoped?) it was just a passing homage (like the "Battle of Tanaab" comment) rather than another character to develop.
wasn't Mon Mothma also poisoned in the Eu world...can't remember really.Quote:

as far as Ackmena, i think it's a homage and nothing more...i doubt they will build up the character in the stories other then a quick comment or bit part..
Mon Mothma was poisoned, I think in the Kevin J Anderson Jedi Academy Trilogy, but recovered. The New Essential Guide to Characters says she died of old age, though I suppose it is possible the poisoning shortened her lifespan.
Whenever Leia became New Republic Head Mistress Chancellor Leader is when Mon Motha' was slipped a mickey; after MM recovered she told Leia "I'm too old for this ****" or something and Leia decided to take over for her.
I'm about a quarter through the next video game-based novel The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance and it's nowhere as awful as TFU was at this point. It's slow, but that's to build to something dramatic that would be clearer in the game itself, I guess.
Finished OR:FA and it wasn't too bad; in fact, the last couple chapters plus the epilogue made the book worthwhile. Only problem I had, and I realize this was based on a video game which requires certain game-play options, was since it's supposedly set around 3000 years BBY, the technology is not what I expected from that era. Much too advanced. But Williams "hid" the game situations within the storyline MUCH better than TFU had.
Finished CW Gambit: Stealth today. Not too bad.
Spoiler:
I wasn't expecting it to be a cliffhanger. I have the next book in the series but am taking a break.
As previously stated, I thought the book was good, but it dragged just a bit when Obi-Wan and Anakin first arrived on Lanteeb. After they found the scientist, it picked up again.
Not sure if these were on my previous reply; if so, ignore them.
