Timothy Zahn releases his third annotation for the 20th anniversary re-release of Heir to the Empire.
“Originally, I had had Rukh and his fellows being Sith, keying off Vader’s title of Lord of the Sith. Since at that point the term hadn’t been defined, I figured I was safe. But Lucasfilm was concerned that George would want to use the Sith at some future date (which, as we all know, he did) and told me to pick some other term for them.” – Timothy Zahn
Probably a wise choice, given that the Noghri developed an independent history that was explored to great lengths. Stay tuned for the next eleven annnotations that are scheduled to follow. Check out Del Rey‘s information regarding this landmark release.
