Our third look at Timothy Zahn’s annotations for the 20th anniversary edition of Heir to the Empire takes on the Noghri.
Originally, I had had Rukh and his fellows being Sith, keying off Vader’s title of Lord of the Sith. Since at that point the term hadn’t been defined, I figured I was safe. But Lucasfilm was concerned that George would want to use the Sith at some future date (which, as we all know, he did) and told me to pick som…e other term for them.
Revenge of the Noghri – but it was so artistically done!
Hmm. All three comments so far are things I’ve heard before… Not exactly inspiring me to get the actual book I have to say.
