  3. Inqvote Shame there isn't more on him. Seems like an interesting character. Even in the galaxy celebrities can generate quite a following. :) Master Aban Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 00:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

  1. From the Pasta-bowl of Fiolli:
    • "Llez, a young fan of the fictional Reddjak from Space Pirates of the Galaxy, took it upon himself to save the pirate and join the Red Fury Brotherhood. Grilling the young Majooran for information…" Just a couple of minor things with this in the intro:
      • Knowing nothing about either character initially, I was wondering, "Who is the Majooran?" Then I realized it was Llez. Perhaps his culture or home planet could be worked into that first sentence for clarification.
      • Grilling is a powerful word, but it states later that Reddjak just questioned Llez. Was it an interrogation or casual "Why did you do this, kid?"–kind of questions.
    • The quote at the top of 1.3, "I've been waiting to do this for a long time, Zell…," implies that there is some backstory to this or extended period of time. Is anything available or was this just simply because he was tired of being bothered by Llez?
    • I think it might be wise to mention that Llez was accompanied by R2 and 3PO a little earlier in the text and mention why they were assigned to him, if known, or what there role had been thus far (even if it is simply as spectators).
    • Did the Ambassador know his son was aboard Reddjak's ship?
    • The final scenes are very thorough comparative to the first portions, but I assume this is the nature of the comic. If there is any way to bolster the earlier portions, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable read. Nice work 4dot. Master Aban Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 23:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
  2. From the Bridge of Chack Jadson:
    • Why did Llez feel betrayed by Reddjak?
      • I've added a tidbit later on, which clarifies that Reddjak didn't tell Llez that he would be attacking Zell, making it understandably shocking to him later when his idol tries to kill his father. I hope that's clearer now.
    • "...but impatient, which would sometimes cost him the reward at the end of the day." Explain. How does the "end of day" part fit in with the rest? Chack Jadson (Talk) 23:35, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Well, I'm use "at the end of the day" here to basically mean "when all is said and done." Thefourdotelipsis 06:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks to Ozzel for image help and the idea of doing this article in the first place, long, long ago. Thefourdotelipsis 07:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Mind sorting out whether Reddjak's ship and Blood Brother are the same ship? I assumed that Abel's comments meant they were, but if not, Reddjak's ship needs to be linked in this article. Cull Tremayne 01:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Well, they were one article when I wrote the thing. ;) Thefourdotelipsis 05:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
        • It's apparently more complicated than a simple yes/no, as Abel's 4/4/08 6:03pm post in this thread demonstrates. jSarek 23:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
