Indeed. Probable NDAs and all that. Restrict it to SWTC, please.

Like, "Can I get mine signed?"

Or: "Is there going to be a quote from George Lucas saying 'This book is canon. Suck it, Trekkies.'"

I want mine signed, too!

Seriously, it is a real honor to have you here, Dr. Saxton! I hope to see you here more often!

Just don't go expecting Dr. Saxton to become a regular presence on these boards or any others; he is a very busy man.

I know. I saw the date he joined, and his post count.

But it's still awsome that he's here!

We're glad you're here, Dr. Saxton, and I'm sure we'll find plenty to speculate about when Ep III is released. Even the guys like me with minimal physics knowledge; every so often we stumble onto a right answer

Cool. Thanks for popping your head in.

Oooh...just found the page about the Hebrew writing on Vader's chestplate. Lines 1 and 3 are definitely Hebrew; line 2 is...odd. It does make more sense upside down (the funky curvy thing becomes yod). Unfortunately, my Hebrew (particularly unpointed Hebrew, with no vowels) isn't good enough to read them. I have made a copy of what I believe the letters to be (some are a bit mangled) and will ask my Hebrew professor to examine them.

Before asking, these are my best guesses (from right to left i.e. aleph is the top right corner):
The top line appears to be aleph-something-samech-tzade-shin
The second line (once inverted) is yod-mem-gimel-heh-mem
Third line is ayin-dalet-shin-kaf-heh

The one letter I don't know doesn't appear to be Hebrew, although it could be an upside-down heth. Oh, well...at 2 AM, sleep is more important than Hebrew

well I do believe that we have proof that the inernet really is proving the 6* theory...

Yes...he's just settling into a new position in MY university, so he's be rather busy with his real-life work. And his old PhD supervisor is MY current research supervisor (and I didn't find out this link till about 3 weeks ago!).

Though apparently there are at least 2 other people I know who are acquainted with him as well. Small world...
