Ki and Oh-Oh and the Big Bad Sith - notes
posted to MA 02 March 2000


Terri and I have a long-standing writer-beta relationship, so I was already hip-deep in Riding the Wheel of If when she invited other writers to take a few episodes. By my calculations, though, at that point, we'd had Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan, Mar-Gon/Obi-Wan, and Mar-Gon/Sil-Wan, but no Qui-Gon/Sil-Wan. So I claimed that one for myself.

Again with the internal consistency; I think there were some small things I'd have done differently if I'd been writing this thing to stand on its own, rather than to be a part of a series. High points, however, included Obi-Wan yelling "SILAAAAAAA!" (this was deleted, alas, alas), and my personal point of pride: killing the girl anyway, even after getting her and Qui-Gon together. You don't know how many requests I got to fix it. But I didn't. Heh heh heh.
