***New Honorary Member, Joe Corroney***
I'm very pleased to welcome our second honorary member of this week, Joe Corroney! Mr. Corroney is also a Star Wars author! I'd like to say that our Honorary Members are getting extremely impressive! :) Welcome to the Emperor's Hammer, Joe Corroney!
Reply e-mail from Joe Corroney:
Hi Keiran
It's nice to meet you and I'm flattered you would consider me to be an honorary member of your Star Wars website. I took a look at it just recently and am very impressed. The site looks very cool and professional and you already have an impressive list of honorary members like Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels. I'd be honored to join those ranks and be featured on your website. Feel free to send me the interview anytime. I'm really busy right now up until Celebration 2 in May working on an Episode 2 project for Lucasfilm. I'll try to answer your questions and get back to you as soon as I can.
Thanks again for noticing my work and letting me be a part of your site. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Joe
***Interview with Author, Alan Dean Foster***
This week I received a reply to the e-mail interview I sent out honorary member, Alan Dean Foster. Here is his replies to my interview:
1.) Why did you want to become an author, and why?
I like to tell stories, and I like to travel. In my stories, I get to do both.
2.) Who are your inspirations?
My travels, the SF writers Eric Frank Russell, Murray Leinster, and Robert Sheckley, and Uncle Scrooge.
3.) What is your favorite book, and why?
THE LOST WORLD, by Arthur Conan Doyle. Great adventure, great traveling, and great characters
4.) What is your favorite movie, and why?
GUNGA DIN. Same reasons, plus it shows the equality of humankind, and is one of the few films from its era where the villain is obviously more intelligent than the heroes.
5.) Where did you first see Star Wars?
At a cast and crew screening on Hollywood Blvd., several weeks before the film was released. Alice Cooper sat behind me, and before the film was shown we chatted about old Warner Bros. cartoons.
6.) What made you decide to write a Star Wars book?
I was asked to by Del Rey (the publisher) and approved by Lucas.
7.) What is your favorite thing about Star Wars, and why?
I get to travel some more, only this time, somebody else does the guide work.
8.) What are some of your hobbies, and why do you like them?
Scuba diving, because it's the closest you can get to being on another planet. Classical music, because it transports me. Basketball, for its combination of grace and power.
9.) What is your favorite thing about being an author?
Not having to commute to work.
10.) Do yu have any current projects that you are working on that you are allowed to talk about?
Out next month from Del Rey, DIUTURNITY'S DAWN, the final book in The Founding of the Commonwealth trilogy. In August, IMPOSSIBLE PLACES, my first short story collection in several years. In September from Warner, THE MOCKING PROGRAM, the first novel set in my world of the Montezuma Strip. Next projects: STEEL YU, a second Montezuma Strip novel, and STAR BREAK, a new Flinx & Pip novel.
11.) What kind of music do you like?
Classical and heavy metal.
12.) Who is your favorite band, and why?
ZZ Top. Uncomplicated, straight-ahead rhythm with terrific guitar work. I'm also very fond of the L.A. Philharmonic.
13.) Who is your favorite character in Star Wars (movies and books), and why?
Obi-wan. He thinks.
14.) What do you think about the Emperor's Hammer?
Knows how to ask questions.
15.) What made you want to write, a pre-Episode II book - The Approaching Storm?
Del Rey asked me.

***CA:RO Jacob Van Nowak's Report***
::Salute::
Sorry sir, and all for my inactivity over the past week and a half. If you hadn't heard my comp. was struck by lightning to get fixed, well it ended up my comps. Motherboard was so old I needed a new comp. so my uncle who is a comp. expert is doing it, he tryed to scrap all the good pieces but none fit, so he had to order through the snail mail and should have received them yesterday, or today. I am hoping to have it back early this week, or weekend. Sorry again all.
