Brand New Long-Ass Link

The ANH and TESB sections are updated with some new quotes. The rest have yet to be updated, so its the same ol' shit!

I'm working on the ROTJ extra quotes right now, and the next in line include the radio dramas and prequel novelizations

Nice work! I have yet to read the OT novelizations so these nibbets of info are tantalizing.

The "Heir to the Empire" link is broken, just FYI.

pg.60: "That's a Krayt dragon call!" Luke gaped in astonishment. "How did you do that?"

Luke comments on the sound Kenobi uses to scare away the Tuskin Raiders. One has to wonder, after seeing Anakin's attack on the Raider camp in AOTC, if Kenobi's brown cloak and lightsaber isn't what scares the sand people more than a Krayt dragon call

Nitpick: The Tusken Raiders wouldn't have been able to see Obi-Wan's lightsabre, since IIRC, he doesn't keep it on the outside of his cloak. Also, there's the possibility that they were scared off by both the sound and "Old Ben's" reputation as a wizard. Also, none of the other Sandpeople would know about Anakin's massacre, since he killed everyone in the camp, twenty-two years ago.

Additionally, I rather find the interpretation (not really yours but mostly Foster's) of vapourators and "harvest" rather irksome for a planet that's barely habitable.

Additionally, I feel that there might be a few things taken a bit too literally, but that's just me.

What I meant by that was, I'm sure in the 20 years Obi Wan was on Tatooine he had to draw his lightsaber at least once. Once the sandpeople saw that familiar blue blade weilded by a guy in a cloak...

It's only familiar if Anakin left survivors to spread it around. I thought he killed all the Tusken Raiders in the camp.

Hey Wayne, me again.

Dagobah is an unknown planet at the time of the Galactic Civil War. Perhaps known only to the Jedi of the Old Republic

Actually, Dagobah and Kamino were two of 38 planets whose coordinates were deleted from the Jedi Archive, as explained in RotS ICS. Of these, Yoda kept the location to Dagobah secret to himself for safekeeping.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at in my edit. I think it's more of a case of them getting spooked and then realising "Oh shit, it's the Wizard! RUN!!"

Aw come on... ONE of them must have ran away, went to another Tusken camp. "You won't fuckin' BELIEVE what happened last night!"

Damn, I missed that! Curtis is always two steps ahead of me!

Troy Dennings "Tatooine Ghost" implies, that at least one Tusked escaped Anakin's massacre and spread the word around. In the last chapters of the novel we have Tuskens imitating a lightsabre-wielding maniac to honor/calm the spirits of the dead or something like this.

IIRC the ROTS VD also indicates Yoda knew of Dagobah befor he checked the archives for other missing planets.

Huh ? Then how come Luke found the Dagobah system solely by knowing its name ? What's the purpose of erasing the coordinates in the Jedi Archive if everyone else knows about the fucking place Yoda's supposed to hide in ?

Doesn't Yoda guide him to Dagobah? I know he literally guides his X-Wing from orbit to the ground. It's possible that he (or Obi-Wan) sort of "placed" the coordinates in his mind.

Either that, or in the twenty years since ROTS, Dagobah has been rediscovered and recatalouged, with nothing of interest found (one little mud hut on a planet full of life isn't going to attract much attention from reluctant Imperial expeditions).

The illustrated Universe states that Dagobah is charted, and was even explored (although the survey team was killed by the planets enviorment in the process.) However this occured around the start of the Clone Wars, and a planet that wouldnt have usually garnered much notice was completely forgotten by all except for a certain Jedi master.

I would imagine that if a planet is named, it will appear in any decent navicomputer, one just needs the name (ie Mustafar, or Utapau.)
