Before we get into this argument, does anyone actually have access or know of a report on paedophilia which might clear this up more than "logical reasoning" (which I'd be very loathe to use in understanding paedophilia)? I'm sure there has to be information out there that has been gleane...

Palpatine's Theta-class shuttle has a class 1 hyperdrive, top notch military FTL, although somewhat slower than the Falcon. I don't have my ROTS:ICS with me at the moment, but doesn't Palpatine's shuttle only have a very short FTL range? That would mean that he would have had to use a larger (and p...

Literal translation of "gui" is ghost, "lo" is guy. The term "gui lo" came about simply because Westerners looked ghostly pale.

There's several cases of people inscepting motionless (or near motionless) bodies which suggest that infact it's possible to survive a blaster hit with right equipment even if you stay motionless after the hit (if that wasn't the case, there would no point in inscepting the bodies would there?)
