Tom Vietch that was I think going to be released between Dark Empire I
It was to be a graphic novel between DE and DE2 that would've introduced Kam
Solusar and shown his transformation to the Light Side, Luke meeting him, and
all that good stuff that wasn't very well explained in DE2. A very abridged
(and probably twisted beyond recognition from the original idea) version of
that encounter appears in the Audio Dramatization of DE2 (at least it's on the
Col. Ed. CD set version), right before the main bulk of the DE2 story begins.

You're right about the twisting comment -- the info on the DE2 audio
dramatization bears little resemblance to the text of Lightsider. I
think the author of the dramatization did a great job of trying to
fill in the holes based on the hints given in DE2, but in fact
Lightsider (which I'm privileged to have read) is far different than
what actually happens in Lightsider.

so - any idea why it wasn't published - and is there any chance that
we might actually see it from DH some day?

Hunh? I'll assume that's some kind of typo. . .
Where did you read Lightsider; was it online?

It was Randy who said he'd read it, so most likely he read it at work, or in
some work-related fashion.

I was a technical advisor on it for Tom Veitch.

Randy? How'd he get it? I'm curious because Tom was VERY specific
about who he gave copies to.

That was supposed to say "Rich" or "Handly," and it somehow came out "Randy."

Sure, go right ahead. I tell myself that often, in fact. :) :)
Incidentally, I ALMOST ended up hosting Lightsider on the web a couple
of years back, but Tom's lawyers ultimately advised him against it.
Then, last year, I did a column for Topps about "SW comics that almost
were" and did a long interview with Tom about the story details...
only to have most of them edited out of the final article -- assumedly
for the same legal reasons. <<sigh>>

Well, if *that* can't bring a `lil more spice to Rich's libido, then we
might as well write him off..
(Perhaps we can talk Ann Crispin into killing him off within her next
Star Trek novel, Just imagine.. `Starfleet Adjutant Rich Handley -
sentenced to death.. Death by Tribble, that is!)

On an unrelated (we all hope) note, "randy" was also a cheat for the
original Star Wars: Dark Forces game that supercharged and fully loaded all
weapons. ;)

I think so.. I know I've had many successful runs while being in Randy
Mode, so if it worked for me, then it should work if & when I ever play
that game.. =)

I wouldn't say it's a conspiracy, per se -- it's more a case of both
sides aer trying to protect themselves from a legal standpoint, and so
neither is willing to risk trouble by making the story details public.
