Author's Note: The character of Greejatus, while indeed an Imperial Dignitary in RETURN OF THE JEDI, is actually based on the physical appearance of Sim Aloo, played by Anthony Lang, who received an action figure in 1985.  Unfortunately, the name later given this character was so inexcusably stupid . . . that it was unacceptable for use in this sketch.  Hence, the name was switched with the other prominent Imperial Dignitary.  I'm a writer, not a monster.

Marshal Latham as the narrator, and assorted voices

Rish Outfield is a writer, voice actor, and imitator of the late Sean Connery.  He's a fan of the Star Wars Trilogy, Eighties music, and those horror movies your mother insisted you not watch for fear of what they'd do to you (turns out she was right about that one).  He's the former co-host of the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine podcast, and his own show, the Rish Outcast.  Born with an oddly-shaped birthmark and a lack of the vital section of the brain that produces ambition, he could still live a somewhat-full life, if only he'd get up and do something once in a w--oh no, he's gone to sleep again.

Fact Checker:

• Admiral Amilyn Holdo from THE LAST JEDI was indeed the teenage friend of Princess Leia as written in Claudia Gray's novel Leia: Princess of Alderaan.  
• According to an article on Screen Rant: "In Holdo's introductory scene (her speech to the Resistance), [Rian] Johnson described the initial version of the admiral as 'hippy dippy' in order to illustrate how her leadership style contrasts with others we've seen. Later on, he became concerned Laura Dern's performance was 'too spacey' and decided to retool her characterization to make it stronger... Holdo is a primary supporting character in [Gray's novel], where these oddball qualities really shine through. The book depicts Holdo as almost Star Wars' answer to Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter, but those traits aren't as apparent in the movie."

Journey #74 - Outgoing Transmissions by Rish Outfield

The following are transmissions intercepted by a Bothan surveillance vessel in the weeks leading up to the historic Battle of Yavin.

To download, right-click here and then click Save

For five ignominious years now, Rish Outfield has been co-host of the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine, which occasionally still produces full cast short stories and lengthy banter with Big Anklevich. Lately, Rish has lent his voice to many audio dramas, lent his stories to many podcasts, and lent his soul to the horned black Beast himself. He has tried his hand at narrating audiobooks, some of which are available at Audible.com, and has tried his voice at singing karaoke songs, some of which are available in your most upsetting fever dreams. The Force is with him . . . but he is not a Jedi yet.

Keith Rainey, who narrated this story, is a senior system controls engineer who lives in Oregon with his family.  His midi-chlorian count is pretty high, but it remains uncertain whether he can bring balance to the Force.
