Another Hope

Another Hope is a Star Wars fan fiction novel that became controversial in 2006 when its author, Lori Jareo, released it for commercial sale.

The text adds a "Mary Sue" version of Ryoo Naberrie, described as "a gutsy underling on the Death Star".

[1][2] Science-fiction authors Keith R. A. DeCandido and Lee Goldberg observed that problems with Another Hope would impact, and perhaps harm, print on demand publications.

[2][3] Karen Traviss, author of several Star Wars novels, referenced the controversy by incorporating Jareo's name into Mando'a, the language of the Mandalorians.

The verb jareor (the terminal r denoting the infinitive), along with a whole family of words to go with it, was added to the then expanding lexicon that Traviss was creating for the Republic Commando series, and given the definition of "risk your own life senselessly by pissing off a dangerous and heavily armed adversary, e.g. Boba Fett, Lucasfilm legal team"[4]
