Tig Fromm kidnaps Jord and Kea's mother and refuses to release them unless Thall reveals the location of the Trigon One. Thall does so and the prisoners are released. However, when Tig pilots the space weapon back to his father Sise Fromm's base he discovers Thall has sabotaged the controls and programmed the Trigon One to collide with the Fromms' base.

You can find the episode in our Television Shows section. If you have a movie clip or scene from any video game in a AVI, MOV, etc. format, please send it in! Enjoy!

As it happens, a fan named Payton Gauldin has been looking for Rusty Miller, who apparently hadn't been seen nor heard from in the fan community since the early '80s. Thanks to Payton's tenacity, he was finally able to locate the long lost Rusty (who now goes by Matt -- hence the difficulty in finding him), who has agreed to answer a few questions:

First, do you go by Rusty or Matthew these days?

These days, I go by Matt.

Can you tell us how the Jedi Master's Quizbook deal came about?

Well, the summer of 1981, out of boredom, more or less, I began writing trivia questions about A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. The number of questions mushroomed and I started to think "Hey, this could be something." My mom and I drafted a letter of inquiry to Del Rey Books. Several weeks later they requested a copy of the manuscript.

The original manuscript, which actually contained 631 questions (some were duplicates, some were deemed too obscure, and a few were factually incorrect) was written by me on an old Smith-Corona manual typewriter, "hunt and peck" style. My mom retyped the manuscript to more or less neaten it up, not changing any of the content, and the manuscript was sent to Del Rey. Del Rey liked what they saw and sent it off to Lucasfilm for them to have a look. Right about the time they received the manuscript, Lucasfilm was in the process of moving from Southern California to Northern California (the present Skywalker Ranch facility), so the manuscript got boxed away for about 8 weeks. After the manuscript was unpacked and read by the folks at Lucasfilm, the "vetting and trimming" process took place, which brought it to its final 425 questions.
