I really wanted that Abeloth picture to be one of the pictures though lol, too bad. The ones we got were great though. Loved them, especially the shot of Shimmra. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5756 Location: Missouri Great interview. It was cool to hear how the project got turned over to Fry and what Paul's role was. Plus that image of Ackbar, Garm Bel Iblis, and Mon Mothma is one of my favorites from the book. So sad to hear about the cut content thought. Makes me really hope for a bonus online compendium or something. _________________

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5756 Location: Missouri Some of my favorite parts of the book were the in-character excerpts. For instance, some of the character bios are told by other characters. There's also a pretty cool recap of the NJO told by an unknown narrator. _________________

I was thinking in maybe 1 BBY, since Garm is there, but I didn't know Ackbar was a part of the alliance (or at least, one of the higher ups) that early. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan.

In the novel version of The Force Unleashed II, Ackbar becomes a fairly prominent Rebel by orchestrating a fairly large battle on Dac. That takes place in 1 BBY, I believe. _________________ It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours.

However, since they're all looking at an X-wing, I'd say it was when Incom handed over the plans for the X-wing starfighter. _________________

SidiousThrawn Knight Joined: 07 Feb 2012 Posts: 358 Location: USA I always thought Ackbar escaped from Tarkin 1-2 years before Yavin since, he pioleted the shuttle that Tarkin used to examin the Death Star as it was being built. He's shown as being Tarkin's slave in the novel Death Star. _________________ "Study art...", said Thrawn. "Vote for Papa Palpatine".
