    Possibly as this "Corwin" character who appears in the book.

    I think MVS will also be serving Luke, in order to keep the force dormant
    With great power comes great responsibility.... and always a dark side

    Yeah, if we're introduced to MvS's character in any of the pre-TFA-release media, I'd bet that he's probably Corwin. If not, then we'll probably see his character in one of the sequels to Aftermath after the film's out.

    I heard somewhere that we will know who MvS is in TFA that even the causal SW fan will know who he is...hmmm

    That's possible, but I have a feeling that's probably just a rumor. If I recall correctly, that rumor was geared to indicate that MvS was secretly Boba Fett or someone of the like.

    Pretty sure you're right. In any case, that information came out quite some time ago, and didn't come from any of the places we currently view as legit.

    there was a poster on reddit uploading scans of Aftermath last night, I read it as it went up and it was pretty good. Not quite my style but pretty good. Fell asleep 30 pages in though and now it's gone :(

    I picked the book up yesterday from Walmart (someone accidentally put it on the shelf early!) and am about 2/3rd done with it. Its great so far, no Truce at Bakura ;), but I think everyone is going to really enjoy it.

    It was some time ago, and went something like; "Star Wars fans may not recognize him at first until they realize that he played a minor role previously, but then have that "A-HA!!" moment...".

    I don't necessarily think it was geared toward gaining the attention of the Fett followers, I think that some just read it that way (by a lot of wishful thinking, mostly) and ran with it. I spent some time scanning the OT and latter PT for any characters that might stick out...and came up with nothing.

    Well the Fett followers are pretty pleased to hear this from a merchant that sells stuff on Tatooine in Aftermath:

    Filoni said that the Five Priestesses who taught Yoda how to become a force ghost were originally one being. I wonder if this one being is none other than the Shaman of the Whills who Qui-Gon said managed to become a force ghost.

    I think they are different individuals.

    A Zabrak named Jas. I forget her last name off the top of my head but its mentioned early on when you're introduced to her. Finished the book last night, ending is primo :) The interludes were easily my favorite part of the book though, and where all of the good potential tie ins seem to be coming from.
