So at the end of the last chapter, I promised to come back and answer final reviews and answer any questions that you guys had. It's that time. So, without further ado, I will answer the reviews and questions posted since the last chapter was posted. As such, they will be answered in the order received.

Night Hunter533: Indeed, the preview notice will be added here along with the ID of the story when ready.

Malchior: I agree, that's why I'm taking much more care with any potential follow-up stories, and you'd be correct about me contemplating a rewrite. If I did that, the entire story would have to be rewritten from the ground up for the most part. I'll have to look up the Skyward series, it sounds very interesting.

hellfire45: I'm glad that you enjoyed the interactions between the two characters. One of the considerations I have to take care of in any followups is those interactions add to each other and be meaningful.

someone: To quote, I think it was from Stalker, "Hey, friend, I know the world is scary right now, but it's gonna get way worse." Or something.

BioHazard82: I'm glad you enjoyed it and I will be posting a preview of the story if and when I get around to it. If you like the way I write, maybe consider checking out some of my other stuff?

Blunacy14: That's one of the things that made this honestly difficult and the existence of both franchises together in a single story so difficult to balance. On one hand, we can't have a too powerful of a character making things too easy otherwise it's not interesting (unless the story in question is advertised as a power fantasy, then at least you know what you're getting into), but on the other hand can't be too weak. One of the things that many complained about is Harry not being magical, and I get that, that's the main appeal of the Harry Potter series. I think I have a way that it can be explained in a reasonable way as to why he didn't use magic narratively, but it will take time and care to craft it correctly to have the right impact.

jslee102: Well, maybe not with rocket launchers. There has to at least be some challenge, right? But you'd be correct in the sentiment that things will be different but yet some things will have to remain the same for certain events in both universes as at least on the Star Wars side of things I want it to be compatible (not a 1:1 fit, but compatible) with the Original Trilogy because as while the Prequels are flavor to the originals, the originals can stand on their own with no additional content. And yes, my primary plan would be buildup between Padme and Harry during the events of the year of the Triwizard tournament. I don't intend it to be a romance story but a nice cherry on top.

Kain129: I'm glad you enjoyed it.

EP: Thanks.

starboy454: That is the eventual goal that I hope to achieve.

Darkshot99: Thanks. Not sure why "good" was censored though.

Jostanos: That is my intention in an eventual continuation of this idea. Hogwarts, the Triwizard tournament, and a plot-poignant reason as to why Harry didn't use magic at all during this story. Assuming, of course, I can write it correctly.

Papa bless: There are multiple things I'm considering. One thing that would be boring would just be following the novel/movie solely (as many have rightfully criticized this story of). Therefore in this intermediate time between the two movies, while I do plan on having him participate in the Triwizard tournament, I don't want it to be completely that. I was contemplating some serial-type chapters akin to how you described it. However, coming up with those ideas in between the five big events (arrival, the three tests, and the Yule Ball) will be a challenge that will have to be well thought out before its execution.

[book guest]: You've given me an idea. Maybe a side chapter in the next story, perhaps? That's funny.

BlueTitan699: I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Makimass: I agree with the lack of magic and in hindsight, I see why many dislike that being not present. I would refer to my previous statements of addressing it plot-wise (yes, some may see it as a retcon) in the continuation. As for the additional dialogue, I agree. That is definitely one of the things that I do intend on addressing in the gap between the events of Episodes I and II, after all, the older you get, the more mature you get. I'll be honest, a lot of the snarky dialogue comes from my younger siblings when they were younger, and since I don't really know how to do teen dialogue that well, I sort of used that. Probably not the best idea I've had.

DragonReader18: I and many others agree with that sentiment and that's something that I hope to rectify during planning for any continuations. One of the primary things didn't get to see all that much due to the forced time limit on myself (the constraints of the film's events) is that there was little meaningful interaction between Harry and Padme, that is something that I hope to address in a shorter continuation which would contain the events of the Triwizard tournament. Things for them to bond over as well as address some (unintentionally by me) hidden past events. The ending of which will build into the events of Episode II which will help characterize a better history between the two.

DeathCrawler: I'm glad you thought so.

demindp93: Uhh... let me get Google, I don't speak Russian. [One Google Translate later] Thanks? I think? Maybe? I'm not sure what you mean in this context.

jiubantai-taicho: That was the original intent at the time, yes. As I'm still in the planning stages of any continuations, this may be revised. As for Papa Kal, that's still being considered as well as how deeply he'll be embedded with Clones or if he'll be commissioned as an officer or something to allow him to command Clone Commandos. Again, a lot of this stuff is still in the planning stages at this point in time. As for the blaster bolts? Star Wars, at times, has been inconsistent with bleed or char. For example, in Episode IV Kenobi's lightsaber when used against that one alien cuts off the arm but it still bleeds, but Luke's hand from Vader was charred in Episode V. In some of the supplemental materials blasters sometimes seem to completely cauterize and other times cause a bleed like your ball, soft point, or hollow-point ammo would. As the MPAA rating standards changed, obviously that would have an impact on the movies since blood would escalate the rating quickly. Really long diatribe aside, I know blasters cauterize in canon.

With all that being done I reiterate my thanks to you for reading this short story idea. If you feel like tipping me anonymously there are addresses in my profile to do so. If you want to check out more of my content here, just check out my profile. I got a repository of random shit I write about for ideas that could come about or not at all. As mentioned a couple of times I'm going to be doing some content over on Odysee of which I have the channel ID in my profile here as well if you're interested in stuff completely unrelated to FFN that I'm working on and you feel like checking it out. I will mention, as I've mentioned before in the finale of this story, that as of the posting of this entry into the story I will no longer be paying attention to reviews for this story and have already pre-programmed my inbox to route all reviews for it to my garbage. It's not that I don't like hearing valid criticism or answering additional questions, it's that I don't want to keep making addendums to this file after it's said and done. If you want to propose ideas or chat with me, my DMs are open. The only other entry to this story will be a preview for the continuation of this story which at this point, 3/28/22, is completely unknown and I have no idea if I will do it at all at this specific moment in time. Life situations change and so does life itself (for all I know I could be drafted into WW3).

Once again I thank you all for reading and for those that are interested in my other works, I hope to see you there!
