[edit] Comment

Could someone please check formatting? Somehow, certain passages are swallowed.

Done... put in a carriage return before the omitted chunks and they start being displayed. It may be a bug in the wiki parser, as I notice the "three apostrophes" for bold wasn't working in the first line either. Malcolm Farmer, Monday, April 15, 2002

How is her first name pronounced? Lay or Lee?

Links to Leigh Brackett Solar System and Eric John Stark in the article should probably be made more obvious, perhaps in a See Also section or as part of a Leigh Brackett category. Shsilver 19:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

The Empire section states that Brackett was awarded a Hugo in 1981, but while Empire clearly did win, I'm not finding any evidence that the award was given to Brackett specifically. Unlike the Nebula script award, the Hugo Dramatic Presentation award is for the work as a whole, as far as I know. Has anyone got a source for this? --Chronodm 13:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I removed science fantasy from the introductory list of genres in which Brackett wrote, since it's a subcategory of science fiction. There is a mention of her science fantasy aspect later in the article. I left that in, though I'm not sure it contributes much. Zaslav 06:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anakin/Darth Vader

"Some have declared that the concept of Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's father originated as a story idea proposed by Brackett" What's the source for this?
