Heir to the Empire annotation #9: What would Karrde drive?

May 12th, 2011 by Dunc · 2 Comments

Things go a bit random with our ninth look at Timothy Zahn’s annotations for the anniversary edition of Heir to the Empire.

“Someone asked me once what kind of modern-day car Karrde would drive. I told him that it would probably be a nice, simple, family-style sedan or minivan. A Toyota or Ford maybe … with a Lamborghini V-12 engine tucked away under the hood.”

Also on the Star Wars Books Facebook this week, a mockup of the new Heir covers.

The release of Heir to the Empire: 20th Anniversary Edition was recently pushed back to September 13.

    Is it just me, or are these annotations getting sillier? Somehow I’m reminded of a Daily Show bit on GWB accepting questions from an audience.
    Come on, Zahn, you can do better!

    True, the annotation idea all well and good but what next? “Originally the book was called ‘Hair to the Empire’ and the plot revolved around Han, Luke and Leia delivering wigs Coruscant.”
