< Wookieepedia:Quote of the Day
Fisher: "How much research was necessary before you began to write?"
Allston: "A lot. I wish I'd had time to do more. I read every Star Wars technical manual I could get my hands on, plus Stackpole's novels, Zahn's novels, other novels in which Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron make appearances, comic books, and several of West End's Star Wars game supplements. I watched the movie trilogy repeatedly. I played the X-Wing computer game. I bought eight of the Action Fleet toys and used them for measurements and estimations of their performance in atmosphere. I read books on aircraft carrier life and pilot survival."

  • What book is he researching for? -- Zelda Death 04:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
    • This was with regard to his first ever foray into Star Wars, so for X-Wing: Wraith Squadron. Edited quote to provide this context.--Eyrezer 10:11, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
