Eric Walker is Mace Towani from the Ewok Films
We’re running the contest a little differently this time. Please post your comment with the answer, but know that it won’t show up until after we pick the random winner on April 15th.
Also note that the comments here are for feedback and questions as well—not just for the contest!
Eric Walker was Mace Towani in the films ‘Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure’ and ‘Ewoks: The Battle for Endor’
Eric Walker played Mace Towani in the “Ewok” made for tv movies, dying in the second one. He is “The First Mace” we know of in the universe.
I am really digging these interviews with the authors! Good Stuff and I enjoy hearing the author’s voices too! Keep ‘em coming!
A few of the upcoming events were a little mixed up. The Great Lakes Garrison is in Michigan not Minnesota.
Michael Stackpole is a great author, but it is Troy Denning along with Aaron Allston and Karen Traviss who are writing the Legacy of the Force series.
