First off, much love for your icon. It's fantastic. :)
And thank you so much! I think that's definitely what made me love Terminus while writing this too -- even in spite of what's happened, there's a lot of Obi-Wan in him. He's a genuinely good, kind, strong-willed man; he's just broken by what's happened to him, as well as restricted by the circumstances.
And you definitely nailed it! Especially regarding Tagge and Motti.
And yes, these characters were freaking awesome. So very much agreed with what you said regarding Pellaeon. He was amazing. Not to mention his loyalty to Thrawn; I remember reading the Thrawn trilogy (I think I might have read it out of order, though. Mostly read THE LAST COMMAND after I had eyedrops -- I think I was in middle school at the time -- which wasn't exactly a fun experience. The eyedrops, that is; the book was brilliant. :) and being really touched by how loyal he was to Thrawn. Speaking of Thrawn, he was also a good one. He just really struck me as a really fundamentally noble guy who was working for the bad guys. (Even when he dies, he's just so gracious about it. Also known as one of those reasons it really sucked when he died) I think a lot of the Imperial characters in the Zahn STAR WARS novels I read are a lot like that (with the occasional simply twisted character); they're fundamentally decent people, even if they happen to be working for the bad guys. It's definitely one of those things that really makes me love Zahn's writing. (That and great characters, great stories, great everything, really)
