THIS IS A TEST AND ONLY A TEST for the purposes of Wookieepedia:Interviews.
Interview request by Atarumaster88[ | ]
- Submitted on: 19:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- Purpose: Based on the recent nomination of Cane Adiss for FA, it would be useful to Wookieepedia to have background information on the character of Cane Adiss for inclusion in the article. And to make 4dot's famed BTS sections even longer.

Dear Mr. Hazlett:
My name is <name redacted> and I'm a member of the Star Wars online encyclopedia Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com). Members of our project have been working on an article for a character you created for a "What's the Story" entry, Cane Adiss, and we were wondering if you would agree to an interview, either via e-mail or in a moderated IRC channel.
Of course, if there is any topic you would like to exclude from the interview, we would omit it from the list of questions and naturally you are free to reject any question in the interview. Furthermore, any and all personal information will be kept confidential; Wookieepedia will not release it. However, the interview will be considered as released into the public domain and can be used on Wookieepedia and elsewhere without copyright.
Please get back to me with your preferred medium for interview and any other preferences you might have, if you are interested in being interviewed. We thank you for your time and look forward to continued correspondence with you.
In care of the Wookieepedia community,

- Interview request is submitted to Hazlett, and while I can't speak for him, this is hypothetical, so we'll say he agrees to be interviewed.

Dear Mr. Hazlett:
We appreciate your willingness to discuss Cane Adiss and your involvement in its creation. Over the past <period of time>, our community has come up with a series of questions for you.
- What inspired the name Cane Adiss for your entry?
- Was there anything that Lucasfilm cut from the entry?
- What canon elements were you trying to incorporate into Adiss's backstory?
- Is this your first contribution to the Star Wars canon?
Once again, thank you for letting us have some of your valuable time and we appreciate your helping us in our mission to completely chronicle the Star Wars universe. We look forward to future conversations as well. May the Force be with you. *Note: We don't have to use the cheesy cliche.
