Correct, Izzy Stradlin, Correct Hmmm… sounds like we’re dealing with someone like Jabba the Hutt, who was mentioned in dialog in the first two films, but didn’t appear on-screen until the third. In a series than spans before and after 1990. Holding a DQ while I ponder… Clarification requested on #12. I had a typo in my DQ. It was supposed to read “appeared in more than **one** movie”. The way I typed it is also a legitimate question, but can have a different meaning. Is your answer to #12 the answer to the question I **meant** to ask, or the question I **actually** asked? ---
