↑ From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back on the Jedi Council Forums (Literature board; posted by jasonfry on 2020-12-22; accessed March 14, 2021): "Someone in this very thread got it shortly after the book came out. Red Two at Endor is apparently portrayed by the same guy who plays Gray Leader. So I made them brothers. A geeky little lore thing, but there was a way to address it that helped the story I wanted to tell, so why not?"
