The raging debate over the proper spelling of Toshi Station continues to gain stunning momentum (I shudder to think where something of this proportion could lead if left unchecked). I can't begin to count all the email messages that come pouring in on a daily bases (mainly because there hasn't been any). I have run across several sites with the "sche" spelling, and one or two with the "shi" spelling (not really).
   According to the original Star Wars script the spelling is "Toshi"

OWEN: Luke, take these two over to the garage, will you? I want you to
have both of them cleaned up before dinner.
LUKE: But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power
converters...
OWEN: You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done.
Now come on, get to it!

   However, according to the Star Wars book that came out around the time of the movie (ghost written by Alan Dean Foster) the spelling is "Tosche." Both THE ILLUSTRATED STAR WARS UNIVERSE that was recently published and the GUIDE TO THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE also claim the station is spelled "sche." This all, no doubt, stems from liberty Foster took with the screenplay when he penned that first Star Wars novel.

   The title of this site will remain as it is:
          --I suspect Alan Foster decided the "sche" spelling was more to his liking than what was in the             script he was working from.
         --Lucas was undeniably influenced by Oriental culture (and if I were of the Oriental persuasion, I             would spell it "Toshi").
         --By the Maker, I will be following the teachings of the original text. You won't find this Station               Manager jumping off any cliffs just because his friends do, no sir.

A private note to Alan Dean Foster (all others please scroll through): It will be one glorious day when this twisted plot to rename Toshi Station is dragged kicking and screaming into the light. Did you really think such a subtly would just slip into obscurity? The mighty forces of truth are rallying behind me even as you read this -- our ranks swelling with every passing minute like flies on Bantha poodoo. All we want is for you to publicly admit your foul deception -- to be posted at the Station entrance -- and your good name will be cleared.
