AboutGreg Bonkowski Expertise I can answer pretty much anything when it comes to the Luke Skywalker, the Jedi Knights, the history of the Jedi Knights, and other characters and incidents throughout the Star Wars saga. I am also interested in the technical aspects of the Star Wars saga. I like to think of myself as both a historian and an archeologist of the time period that took place in a galaxy far, far away.
Experience I have been a Star Wars fan since the time my father took me to see the first movie when it was released in 1977. I have read practically every book that I can get my hands on, and I keep up to date with production of and the stories behind all five films(six if you count the next one to be released.) I am pretty much interested in the mythos surrounding Star Wars, and the history of the Jedi Knights.

Question i have a question about a trooper from the " Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina"....What happened to Davin Felth, did he join the rebellion, and where is he in the current timeframe of the universe? Also, did Ariq johanson join the rebellion?
Answer Adam,
Thank you for asking this question. First of all, I would like to say that "Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina," is one of my favorite books. I especially enjoyed the story of Devin Felth, and his conversion in helping the Rebels. His realization that he was on the wrong side certainly helped the Millenium Falcon escape, and help the Rebels win the day. As a result of his actions, Devin changed his mind on whose side he was really on, and gave his life a purpose he would never imagined. According to many sources, Devin continued the role of being a loyal stormtrooper, but he helped the Rebel Alliance by becoming a spy inside the Empire's rank and file. In fact, it was rumored that his knowledge of how vunerable the AT-AT's legs were when they were attacked helped the Rebel Alliance at Hoth.
In regards to Iriq Joanson(johanson), a change of heart can be said of him also. Iriq was a mosture farmer on Tatoonie much like Owen Lars, and his newphew Luke Skywalker. While others feared and dreaded the Tusken Raiders, Iriq chose to try to make peace with them. In actuality, Iriq was building farms in areas closest to the Dune Sea, favorable hunting grounds of the Sand People. In the past Iriq successful worked with the other nomads of Tatooine, the Jawas, by offering them water in return for land rights. Iriq tried the same thing with the Tuskan Raiders, and was making headway with the Sand People before Imperial Sandtroopers ambushed the Tuskan Raiders working with Iriq. The Empire was fearful that Iriq would be successful in uniting the tribes of Tatoonie against the Empire(in reality, rival farmers informed on Iriq to the Empire.) Fustrated and angry that his work was destroyed, Iriq still believed that he could unite the nomads of Tatoonie under the banner of peace. Iriq walked into Mos Eisely and joined the rebellion against the Empire with the hope that the Jawas, Sand People, and Mosture Farmers could one day live in peace.
Adam, I sure hoped that I have answered your question. If you have anyother ones please feel free to ask.
Once again, thank you for allowing me this opportunity to help.
