	Frederic Church's Olana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Named for a fortress treasure-house in ancient Persia, Olana was the home of Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), one of America's most important artists, a student of Thomas Cole, and a major figure in the Hudson River School of landscape painting.

		To say it is a place of the rarest, most profound, and most moving beauty and complexity and that it is a place that must be experienced to be fully understood and appreciated, is more to the point.

		I didn't like the idea of Olana having a second Master after Post's death or of her being one of the Padawan Pack and I thought that she was a good age for a Padawan to become a Knight.
		Also, I wanted it clear that Olana had never forgotten her dislike of Anakin, begun more than a decade earlier, and continued to keep an eye on his disturbing progress (much like Ferus Olin promises to do in the 'Jedi Quest' books).
		I was pleased with my EU references and Olana's jealousy of Anakin, but I couldn't for the life of me follow on and decide what happens to her after she walks out of that briefing in Episode III.
