My general preferences are here, and I’ve put in a modified version of my Star Wars preferences in the letter.

So, I'm a Star Wars fan who's a little sad that the Extended Universe got handwaved away - I really loved Timothy Zahn and Michael Stackpole, and my requests this year reflect that.

However, I'm also a Star Wars fan who thought Rogue One totally and completely rocked it out of the park. Loved it loved it loved it!

Please don't refer to anything that happened after the godawful Vector Prime and switch to Del Rey.

I'm also not a very active Star Wars fan. I enjoyed the sequels (although that like is dwindling more every time I see a stupid handwave plot post), I love the original 3, and I am NOT a fan of the prequels. My heart is with the original 3 (and Rogue One, now that it exists) and the "waved away" Extended Universe.  The more they make me feel like it requires me to do homework, the less interested I am.

I'm also not really a Luke fan. Give me Han and Wedge any day of the week. And maybe Ben Kenobi.  Or an AU where Biggs Darklighter becomes the most famous pilot from Tatooine.  And maybe find some way to make Rey a Kenobi descendant…?


On all my requests, I'm TOTALLY and completely fine with the idea of the characters being in a tapcafe or cantina or bar telling stories about "that one time" - or having encounters in bars.

I like "what-if" AUs, but not "Star Wars: The Dorms".

Also, after watching some of the original Thundercats, I think it is obvious: Jaga is a Jedi Master.  Feel free to run with this.

 

Wedge Antilles/Leia Organa, Wedge Antilles & Leia Organa

Wedge & Leia - I'd love to see more of this relationship, especially as it is portrayed in the Legends book. Or if you want to take it to TLJ, that would also be acceptable. In this scenario only, I am okay with a Wedge death but it better be a blaze of glory saving someone.

Wedge/Leia - I think a fling could have happened, a little stress relief...

I'm okay with killing Wedge off in the Wedge & Leia scenario, but it better be glorious and heroic. I really miss him in the newer movies. Keep Wedge/Leia in the X-Wing or original series timeframe.

Not really much to add besides WHERE ARE ALL THE PILOTS in the later movies?  I like Poe, but he’s no Wedge Antilles.  Also not opposed to you dragging in the rest of the Rogues for comic relief.  Leia is gone when Wedge finally makes his appearance, but you could do something with that, him remembering her.

Pash Cracken & Wedge Antilles, Wedge Antilles & Biggs Darklighter, Wedge Antilles & Nera Kase, Nera Kase/Garven Dreis

I love love love Wedge Antilles. I'd love something set during original movies, X-Wing books or maybe a look at what he's doing in Last Jedi (or why he's NOT doing anything). I like Poe, but he's no Wedge Antilles…

I have a great affection for Biggs as well, and hanging out with Wedge. Feel free to have them ganging up on Luke somehow. Or maybe Biggs lives and becomes the most famous pilot a planet called Tatooine ever produced....

I admit to a preference for the Wedge of the Rogue Squadron books, with the sly humor and him as the Commander of the Rogues (and their craziness). Maybe an AU where Biggs is in there with him? You could keep Gavin around as well.

For Wedge and Pash, I love their interactions in the X-Wing books.

I discovered Nera in the recent anthology, and need more. I'd love to see Wedge give Nera the credit she and her crews deserve and I'd love an AU she gets to tell Garven how she feels...

For these requests, I’d prefer to keep it in the Original Trilogy time period or X-Wing books time period.  I’m down for serious saving the world stuff or the Rogues being Rogues.  Feel free to stuff Luke in a fridge if that suits the story…or maybe he never gets lukewarm?

 

Corran Horn/Mirax Terrik, Corran Horn/Mirax Terrik & Wedge Antilles/Iella Wessiri, Corran Horn & Nejaa Halcyon

I'd love to see Corran getting a force ghost visit from his grandfather.

I'm always down for Corran/Mirax, and combining them with Wedge/Iella could be very fun.

I love Mirax and Corran, especially when she takes him down a few notches.

Corellia Forever!  Hijinks ensue.  Rogue Squadron timeline or later.  I like these all equally.

 

Mara Jade & Teneniel Djo, Rey's Father & Rey's Mother & Mara Jade, Mara Jade/Luke Skywalker, Rey's Father & Rey's Mother & Luke Skywalker, Teneniel Djo/Luke Skywalker

Just don't put Teneniel in the fridge like they do later in the series.

I loved young Teneniel and was super disapointed to see what they did to her. Maybe Luke stays on Dathomir, or maybe she comes with him?

Mara interacting with Teneniel could be fun.

Rey's parents and either Mara or Luke - or both? Maybe transfer the You will kill Luke Skywalker here? It could be good.

This is sort of my EU catch all but I think it would rock to insert Rey and her parents into a Heir to the Empire sort of plot that saves us from the BS in the sequels and keeps poor Rey from a life on Jakku.

For Mara/Luke a little bit of sexy fluff would work nicely.
