ĪA: How much freedom were you given for the writing process? Were you asked to include specific details or snippets of information? KK: Lasat is clearly a good choice, but I think Nogrhi, Kalleran, or Jablogian each featured prominently in the Rebels or Rebels-related materials, and look like they’d be interesting to tackle. Which ones would you have wanted to include, had you been given the choice? Too bad there were only four species covered by this book. The Lasat were not exactly present in the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War, and thus had little impact on the events, save for Zeb’s role in the Lothal rebellion. But Zeb seems to be popular, and if people remain vocal on the forums, I imagine Lasat will eventually find their way into a product somewhere.ĪA: Which is logical. I think one of the reasons might be because there are so few Lasat in the galaxy, especially at the time we were working on this.

KK: This book does cover both Rebels and Rogue One content, and the four selected species are all from Rogue One. In some cases (such as with Stay on Target for Age of Rebellion) I’ve spoken with an editor and convinced them to change which species are in a book if I’m on that section, but in this case, I didn’t see a need to. I can’t say off the top of my head why they picked which species.ĪA: With the remainder of the book having a large focus on the Rebels series as well, it’s odd that they did not include the Lasat.

Keith Kappel: FFG generally has a plan regarding which species are going in which book that I’m not privy to. Did you have any say in the selection of species, or where they already chosen? It is an interesting selection, as these species were not heavily covered in earlier sources, and only got some background in the Rogue One Visual Guide. Author of the “New Species” chapter of the book, Keith Kappel, joins me with some insights and details on his work.Īlien Anthology: The four species covered in this book have not been used in any other FFG book before, and are all from Rogue One Drabatans, Gigorans, Iakaru and Tognath.

The sourcebook, based mostly on the Rebels TV series and Rogue One, is not part of any of the three main series, but rather a standalone that can be used for any adventure. Today we have a look at the new aliens covered in Dawn of Rebellion, a so-called “Era Sourcebook” for the Star Wars RPG published by Fantasy Flight Games.
