SKot, is there any reference that gives the spelling of Captain Kazan? I'd assumed that it was in the script, but apparently not.

Hmm...yes, oddly enough it's missing from the available script.  The name was only spoken during a quick voiceover at the beginning and end of the cartoon.

I'm not sure if I ever found an actual reference to the spelling in that case.  "Kazan" is the most straightforward, but "Khazan" or "Kazann" even "Cayzann" could be possible.

It seems like I saw it written somewhere, though.  Maybe on the official website?

UPDATE: Looking at the official Blu-ray release of the Holiday Special cartoon, the subtitles definitely spell it "Captain Kazan".  But they also call the ship the "RS Reekvange", rather than "RS Revenge".

Reekvange?  Really?  Was it an error, did they know something we don't, or did they decide to change it because "Revenge" sounds more like a name for a Star Destroyer than it does a Rebel Cruiser?

Also, the idea of a "Captain's Log" with a  stardate given...sounds a bit too much like a certain other show with "Star" in the title.  This was an ill-advised last-minute add-in voiceover, methinks.
