Behind the scenes

Stitchy was created by What's The Story? author Edward M. Erdelac for his official Star Wars authorial debut in the Hyperspace-exclusive short story Fists of Ion. According to Erdelac, Stitchy's name came from cutman Jacob "Stitch" Duran of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Apailana was confirmed as Stitchy's former employer in Ed Erdelac's blog on StarWars.com, after being referred to as "Apa-something" in "Fists of Ion."
