And he's speculating that the Teezel from the old Marvel comics was actually a listening post or relay for the YV(!)

Made note of a quote about the stellar and volumetric scope of the "Unknown Regions" in Force Heretic: Refugee, kindly forwarded by J.Vermazen, in the Galaxy commentary.
EDIT: More shameless wanking;

I especially liked "Perhaps the animal had an annoying habit of wandering onto HoloNet channels and screaming, making it a nuisance like cattle wandering across the road or birds chewing on telephone cables?"
:lol:

Can't you see it though? Vader and Palpatine discussing how to be affectively evil before being cut off in an enormously sharp and painful shrieking sound? :twisted:

Relativistic velocities are attainable using ion-drive propulsion, as demonstrated by starfighters in some of the New Jedi Order novels, and as implied by the acceleration and power statistics of many starships [eg. quantified in AOTC:ICS].
Shameless plug mode ON! :D

It may be a plug, but since his website isn't by itself official or canon, he has to reference something, even if it is his own book.

It's really fun I bet. It's kind of like saying something is true because I said so. :D

I did notice when he started doing it awhile ago, I thought it was pretty funny.

I noticed that those two pages he put up are written in a different style than his normal; I thought that rather odd.

I liked them--perhaps he's trying something new with his site.

It doesn't mesh well with the rest of the website, and I prefered the less personal tone with it. Maybe he's planning something we don't know?

He's capable of "letting his hair down" a bit, although it doesn't happen too often. He and I rank rather far apart on the formality scale :D

Did anybody besides myself do a double-take when they looked at the TIE Fighter game map display?

Sometimes talking to Curtis is like talking to a Vulcan. But then he hits you with an unexpected zinger that just floors you! Very cool guy.

Just a question: What does a Teezl look like? Does it appear to be straight out of a H.P. Lovecraft novella, or does it look like some generic, bland creature??

Uh, Simon, Saxton does have a picture of the Teezel on the site.

As for his ability to make jokes, there's two on the Zoology page concerning the Dragonsnake on Dagobah.

Bah. I have numerous mentions on his site, *and* I have my name in the AOTC ICS (along with Mike, Wayne, and Brian...) :P
