Thanks for the sentiments on this thread. I have done some short KOTOR fiction for Hyperspace, incidentally — keep an eye out for more.

A couple of thoughts: I do take to heart the notion of the danger of too many red herrings — and there have been occasions where for one reason or another, things weren't executed as I would have liked to have done in retrospect. And I do certainly do the "you'll see" number online when I can't answer a question directly. That said, the red herrings are something that, as I've mentioned before, probably uniquely impact the people familiar with the games more. Sometimes knowing the future is an advantage; sometimes, it's not — as people sometimes grasp onto things that were never really there. (There's a Covenant metaphor in there somewhere.)

A couple of examples: I created the names of Reiva and Arvan about a year apart — giving no thought at all to any Revan connection; it is a wild coincidence, but not one I intended (especially when we had the Revanchist leader right there in #9 before Arvan appeared, which ought to have at least felt like a more solid lead). Haazen/Sion was another connection that was accidental -- we had people studying the significance of what prosthetic was where, when in fact Brian had simply drawn a cyborg with some similar parts. He could have just as easily been related to Deathlok. True, we didn't disabuse that notion once it was aired online -- but his story had only just started. (And in-universe, it's often hard to have a character say, "Hey, you know that guy I've never heard of? I'm not him." We did have Lucien do something like that in #35, but between the lines, such that only people familiar with KOTOR II would get it.)

Misdirection being one of the series' themes, there is definitely some of it legitimately in there — so if people do find things where they aren't, we cop to some responsibility. We've specifically tried to create a series where you can find hints for things far in the future, so as to make re-reading issues more rewarding. That said, Occam's Razor remains a handy tool when it comes to these things -- like I said to those readers just before #6 came out who still thought that the Padawans weren't really dead. Sure, anything's possible -- but if it'd take more than the one issue we had left in that storyline to explain, chances are it might not be the most obvious option! happy
