>>>1986 was a very busy year for
nhp. it was the year that most of the nhp star wars universe
was spawned, introducing many of the major characters that inhabit
Lightsabre today. but back in 1986, much like 2007 with the
untitled audio drama, nhp - newbold hicks productions - were planning something big.
in those pre-internet days the
message didn't spread quite so far as today, so it's a pleasure to be able
to bring to you some of the literature of the time. known by nhp as
'the green sheet', this early detailing of
trouble on tantum
v
includes cast details, special effects information and doodles by current
Lightsabre
roleplay editor
jason brown.
click below and take a closer look and also visit our new
trouble on tantum
v page which details the
development of this never-produced mini movie.... |

tantalese natives of the forest planet. take a look back to
1986 and see where that language would have taken us through our new
