I believe you had a partner in creating this work. Maybe he or she could work on fixing the errata while you pursue new pastures.

I'll take a look at this new draft and give my thoughts on it tomorrow. There are still quite a few grammar errors that I spotted that need to be addressed.

EDIT: Upon further inspection, there are ALOT of grammar errors that need to be addressed. (I didn't get to read the previous edition cover to cover as I am now.)

I'm already saving my corrections on a doc file. After I get some sleep, I'll get back to noting the needed corrections, then I'll copy and paste them here. Stay tuned.

Sutehp, send your revisions that way - email him the document. I think it will be easier for both of you.

Yeah, Treefrog and I have exchanged PMs and email, so I'm gonna keep in touch with him. The editing continues.

I have decided that once I implement the grammatical errors that Sutehp is currently enacting, I will be doing the exclusively D6 version with added characters that I missed when I was compiling what I needed for the LotFSB. Hopefully with more illustrations and pictures and more information in general.

For example: I completely forgot about Master Kitana Ti (she'll be in it). So will the R8-series.

And to avoid confusion, it will have different title, which will have a different designation than the normal Galaxy Guide. I brought it up in the Fan Sourcebook thread, page 40.

Good to hear that the R-8 series will be in this book, even if they aren't prominent in the Legacy books. I don't even like them all that much because they have antennaes for eyes, but I think it makes sense to include them if only for completeness' sake.

And Treefrog, just out of curiosity, will the changes you're making affect the layout at all? Not that I mind if this is the case; some of my suggestions will likely affect text spacing and rearrangement, so if the layout is going to change through your efforts, then I'll feel less guilty about any layout changes that might be affected by my suggestions.

The editing continues. I had to research the Advisory Council and the High Council on Wookiepedia for the last few hours to try and make sense of the GA government branches in Chapter 2. I just finished with that and am now working on the character write-ups for the Galactic Alliance.

The Work continues. Stay tuned.

For the LotFSB itself? The pages that each chapter starts on may be adjusted; however, because each chapter is an individual MS-Word file, I would be editing that way.

For example (I'm most partial to): Saga Galaxy Guide 1: Legacy of the Force (Revised and Expanded), but its not the definite title.

I'm almost done editing the Confederation chapter. Next comes the Jedi Coalition which is 42(!) pages. That's gonna take a while to finish editing.... And then, there's still the rest of the book after that, but fortunately, all of the other chapters are much shorter than the Jedi Coalition chapter.

The good news is, Treefrog seems really happy with the editing corrections I'm giving him. Which is odd, TBH. Mostly my smug, superior attitude especially shines through when I'm giving people corrections, so either Treefrog really likes my work, or he's just that chill.

Maybe both. Mr. Green

Could it be that my superior attitude stems from me being an elitist, highly educated, Argentine-American, 3rd-generation lawyer from a dynasty of lawyers?

Or is it just me? 8)

I would name it The Legacy of the Force Sourcebook as sourcebooks from books and comics were given there own title and not a part of the Galaxy Guides. In the end, you are the creator and hang the rest, you do and name it whatever you like.
