Dunk is definitely the key, Egg just needs to have the chemistry with Dunk.

I think in the first book they are age 20, and 10 (or so) respectively, but I would imagine a slight aging up.

I also wouldn't expect any big names, just a few small roles and then boom time for big leagues.

And of course, as a book reader forever in denial, maybe George will write at least a story or two before the show passes him again. She Wolves as planned, but Summerhall is the big finale he can't miss again.

I don't think we're ever getting that Summerhall story. George is very good at teasing his readers, and I think that exactly what he plans to do here.

Let our minds fill in the blanks.

You're probably right, but as I'm already in denial, I choose to dream.
