Andy Mangels, the author of The Essential Guide to Characters and script author of Boba Fett: Twin Engines of Destruction had a very close call on the night of 4th July as what he thought were fireworks firing into his office were in fact bullets.

Good news that Andy is safe and well, and fingers crossed the culprits are found and caught.
