* ExecutiveMeddling: Because of plans to adapt ''Splinter of the Mind's Eye'' as a made-for [=TV=] movie, Foster was told to write a story that could be filmed with a low budget. This resulted in the bulk of the story being set on a foggy swamp planet and the cutting of what Foster termed "a modestly extensive space battle." Han Solo and Chewbacca don't appear (but are indirectly referred to) due to Harrison Ford not being signed for a sequel at the time of the book's writing. The book also contained one scene where the faces of some stormtroopers were not covered by their helmet, but Lucasfilm prohibited this from being depicted in the comic.
