Anyone can wear the robes, even a Sith in disguise

Just in case anyone needs to be reminded, this site has the rimmer song on it

Maybe tracking devices are designed not to be noticed. Jango Fett didn't notice the one Kenobi stuck on his ship, and Slave 1 is much less cluttered than the Falcon.

No I'm wrong, I had a vague memory something, but it refered to 'Imperial City'.

I'm pretty sure WEG mentioned the name Coruscant as the Imperial capital in one of their sourcebooks. I'll see if I can find it...

If Chewie is 200 years old and will appear in Episode III, he'd definitely know about the Jedi and would probably admire Kenobi. That might be the reason why he and Kenobi spoke with each other. But he'd also know the Jedi were wiped out, if he didn't know Kenobi personally he'd have no reason to t...

If you think back to the first time we meet Chewie in ANH, in the cantina, there's no particular reason why Chewie and Kenobi shouldn't know each other. Ok, they don't hug like old friends and chat about old times, but they do seem to hit it off pretty damn quickly. If Chewie didn't know Kenobi, you...

Are you sure it's ONLY that long??? According to the book, the Millenium Falcon's model - supposedly full-size, used in the Hoth hangar, is only 60ft long. Would this be considered canon? The 'full-scale' model used in the films is not full size. The best way of proving this is the diameter of the ...

Yeah, but do you have a cool green-tinted picture of it??

Just came across this website;

Where they've tested a small model of the Enterprise in their 'super-orbital expansion tube'

You're right, though Iraq was unable to pay the debt due to UN controls on the selling of their oil, so it comes to "sort of" the same thing in the end.

Fair enough, though Russia is supposed to still be owed oil for those arms transfered when the USSR was in existance.

Yeah, people are mistaking USSR policy for an acceptable minimum standard. I don't know what France was hoping to gain but China's not exactly someone whose standards should be lowered to either. Everyone knows they're bad, they've had their condemnations, this does not give the US licence to follo...

I believe so, but the Challenger 2 doesn't use HEAT rounds, using APFSDS types against tanks and HESH against lighter targets.

Just my feeling on the matter... I've always thought that the Excelsior was probably designed as a large conventional design from the outset - on the grounds that if it had been designed around an exotic propulsion system, it seems unlikly that it would ever have been built in large numbers after th...

It is necessary to point out that without US air support the ground forces would suffer FAR worse casualties from the enemy. The occassional mistake is understandable under these highly stressful circumstances.

Bush has no reason to use nukes, he can use the politically correct MOAB instead - similar overpressure effects to a tac nuke, none of the nasty radiation.

It's more accurate to say the Iraq was sponsored by France and Russia before and during it's war with Iran. All their weapons came from those two countries, and France even supplied a nuclear reactor to Saddam, with the express purpose of allowing him to develop nuclear weapons. You can't have a mor...

Squashed bugs, bits of small furry and feathered critters, mainly.

In ESB when Luke is on Dagobah he says "...there's something familiar about this place". This suggests that he was briefly hidden on Dagobah as a baby before Kenobi took him to Tatooine.

Except a planetary shield strong enough to withstand that level of firepower I guess

The original release was rushed through the editing process, and the director was never really happy with it. With the latest version he's redone it to his satisfaction. As it is as much his film as GRs, he has every right to change that sort of detail.

The cloud was stated as 82 AU in the original film and probably the book - but the latest directors' edition changed that to a 'mere' 2 AU.

That's good enough for me
