Corporal Vyn Rolado's Personal Log
Provided by the Rieekan Historical Collection. Reprinted with permission.

The old smuggler that sold us the location of these caves said the creatures are called "tauntauns." He didn't know much else about them, except that they smelled terrible and that he'd heard tales of some of his fellow smugglers once taming the things and using them as mounts. We'd figured the tauntauns might make a good source of food, but now that we're having so much trouble with the speeders, I've been given the unenviable task of leading the Alliance's first tauntaun training unit. I just had to go and tell the lieutenant how much the damned things reminded me of the Ycaqts I used to ride back on Velmor, before my family moved to Corellia.

i like how it's sort of a cross between my name and rollo's somehow. weird.

[anarky]

That's 'cause I wrote it. Watch for the Journal of Double Captain Slickical "Kid" Wildca-L, coming soon!

(No, I didn't really. And if I had, I wouldn't admit to it.)

I do think I saw you in ESB. You were the poor dude on foot that one of the AT-AT's bothers to go out of its way to shoot, right?

yeah, probably.

good thing i keep getting reincarnated in the SW universe:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vyn_Narcassan

Vyn Narcassan was a high ranking Senate Bureau of Intelligence official during the time of the Separatist Crisis. Just before the start of the Clone Wars, he claimed to have found an immensely secure communications channel linking Separatist factions with someone within the Galactic Republic government. However, he was not taken seriously.

even in fiction i can't get people to take me seriously...

I wonder if JJL has Hyperspace membership and keeps naming these obscure characters after you as a joke.

[Slicker]

I wonder if JJL has Hyperspace membership...

He probably would be stupid enough to get one.

[anarky]

I wasn't meaning that as an insult. I think he's the only one of us who's not disillusioned by Star Wars after the prequels.

i wasn't disillusioned by star wars after the prequels. i was disillusioned by star wars FANS after the prequels.

[anarky]

I was disillusioned by YOUR MOM after the prequels!

[Sleazer]

I was disillusioned by CaptainSolo's mom DURING the prequels.

I wasn't disillusioned by those movies, I just thought they were fun.

[Antropov]

I was disillusioned by CaptainSolo's mom DURING the prequels.

Word. That dude's mom loves the cock.

[The Grin]

Hell yes!

Hey!

Fuck you!

I actually do still have one, I think. There's really nothing worth checking anymore, since they fucking NEVER give updates on anything and I don't need to see concept art for that damn video game. I might let it lapse when it runs out in a few months since the magazine and online thing are separate again (which is the only reason I had it in the first place).

I should use weird-ass vynsane names for that "make-a-background" thing, though. If some fucker can name the lion-guy from the Holiday Special after Kevin Bacon, then I should be able to do something similar.

[anarky]

I gave up on it when it became obvious I was paying to receive targeted advertising. Ooh, boy, I can see artwork for a video game they'll want me to buy, or I can view the same Clone Wars episodes I have on DVD!!

The whole "let the fanboys make up the EU" is such a stupid idea for multiple reasons. First, fanboys are inherently fucking retarded. Fan fiction is the worst excuse for fiction around, since it's not about storytelling, but how much one can prove what minutae he recalls. Second, this really fences it possible future EU stories by real storytellers. Not that they seem to give a shit about that anymore, though, judging from the Legacy garbage.

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

I don't really mind the "What's the Story" feature too much, as long as the characters don't interact with any major players or events. Everything is so damn coincidental already; these can often make it worse.

[anarky]

But the problem is, since they're written by fanboys, they always do intersect with the major characters.

I posted somewhere about Bob. I really wish someone would submit that.
