Brand Spanking new disclaimer, 8/4/97:
[All documents]
These documents are unauthorized works. All licensed characters are used without permission.
No infringement on the copyrights of George Lucas and Lucasfilm Ltd. is intended,

[Like My Father before Me]
The first 216 words of "Like My Father before Me" are a direct quote from the novelization
of Return of the Jedi and were written by James Kahn. In the Del Rey edition combining
all three books, these words appear on pages 450-451. No copyright infringement is intended.
Justification-
I am only borrowing James Kahn's words to prove a point, which is that Luke turned
to the Dark Side in a piece of authorized fiction. My tales only speculate what would
have happened had he not pulled himself back into the Light. This is thoroughly an
act of love, and no, I do not hate Luke at all. I have actually come to love him over
the course of my stories, strange as that may seem.
Carida was named by Kevin J. Anderson, but appears in a very different form in his
stories (note the absence of Furgan, for one thing). Planetary names have remained
constant only to avoid confusion. No copyright infringement is intended.
[The Son of Skywalker]
Mara Jade is Timothy Zahn's brainchild, and Tycho Celchu is Michael Stackpole's.
(I know they aren't in the posted document as of today, but they'll show up.) Their
appearances in my tales are simply tribute to their masterful creators, as with the
other more widely known characters. Hopefully I do not drag them too far afield from what
they were meant to be. No copyright infringement is intended.
If you wish, you may read a great deal of meaning into the absences of Callista, Akanah,
Kyp Durron, the Corellian Diktat, Teneniel Ka, and Gaeriel Capiston along with many
other beings who, I am certain, could have been worked into my storyline along with Mara and Tycho and with approximately the same amount of ease. Go right ahead. You
could even email me to discuss it if you like. That could be quite interesting.
