Cmndr. Wilkens did one for AOTC:ICS

I don't have the book myself, but that seems rather sparse. Doing a google search for "Hyperdrives adjust faster-than-light" finds this:

Hyperdrives allow voyages through an eerie realm called hyperspace--i.e. the ordinary universe viewed from a ship travelling faster than the speed of light. Hyperdrives adjust faster-than-light "hypermatter" particles to allow a jump to light-speed without changing the complex mass and energy of the ship.

--Attack of the Clones Incredible Cross-Sections, pg. 3.

One extra sentence adds a lot.

I'll try and get something together for "Destiny's Way" and the "Force Heretic" Trilogy. Maybe I'll go back and do "Vector Prime" as well.

It'll probably take me a while though.

Small error :

pg.158: "" ""
pg.00: "Pre-Clone Wars calls could run for a century or more on standby." Life expectancy of a becon call

There's no entyr for 158, the next entry is 00.

pg.233: The wine arrived on a tray delivered through a slidehatch in the center of the table. "Will there be anything else, gentles?" the holo girl asked.

Lando shook his head, picking up the carafe and the two glasses that had come with it. "Not right now, thank you."

"Thank you." She and the tray disappeared.

Hard light holo tray

I dunno about the hard light holo tray bit. To "disappear" in a written narrative often mean something mundane like a person walking out of sight through a doorway. In this context, "the tray disappeared" could very well mean "The tray slid out of sight back into the hole it appeared from, and the hatch closed behind it."

Just my two cents.

Thanks; fixed!

But the context includes a "holo girl". The passage says they both disappered, which lends itself to the possibility that the tray disappeared like the holo girl, and not that the holo girl returned to the slide hatch with the tray.

Doesn't seem likely, I'll have to admit. If the tray "appeared" from a hole, it is likely that it disappeared in the same fashion given the context.

Interesting... I haven't read the KJA novels, so it was good to get some insight.

Working on "Children Of The Jedi" right now...so you won't have to!

This part is somewhat ambigious (I haven't read LOE, sorry):

pg.60: "A stern Master Dooku was, to Qui-Gon and others," Yoda began. "Powerful he was; skilled, disdainful. More important, convinced that lowering the shroud of the dark side was. Signs there were, all about us, long before to the Temple you came; long before Qui-Gon came. " Yoda tells Ob-Wan that the shroud of the dark side was felt for many years before the beginning of TPM

Is Yoda's quote word for word? Did Dooku think he was lowering the shroud of the Dark Side through his own personal efforts? Or is this just a general discussion of the "signs" (that Dooku was falling to the Dark Side) that the Jedi failed to recognize? After all, Dooku was supposed to be Qui Gon's teacher, so he would have been a Jedi "long before" Qui Gon.

The ROTS novelisation (higher level than LOE?) tells us Obi-Wan's thoughts, wherein he feels, while facing Grievious, the Force suddenly increase in strength and clarity, like when he was a youth, as if the Shroud had not fallen yet at that time.

If the Shroud of the Darkside had indeed fallen 60 years before TPM, that means we've never seen Jedi at full strength! That'd be pretty lame... so I'd urge a double check on this one. Or is it just a case of LOE being overwritten by a later source?

Oops, forgot the page in question:

More (for, the lack of edit feature) on the LOE page:

pg.251: Aged, experienced, diplomatic, informative, brilliant with a lightsaber...Yes, all of these things. And not unacquainted with the power of the dark side. At some point during his 900 years, Yoda may have dabbled in the dark side of the Force.

Qualified by "may" but it may also mean he encountered somebody who used the Dark Side of the Force (ex: Palpatine says "now you will experience the full power of the Dark Side of the Force," but that meant he was going to zap him, not train him!).

pg.186: In midflight from the vibrating blade, Obi-Wan watched Anakin rid the Falleen of blaster and hand, and thrust his lightsaber directly into the Falleen's chest. Whatever torso armor the humanoid was wearing beneath his jacket gave the energy blade pause, but heat from the lightsaber set fire to the Falleen's bandolier of explosive rounds. Personal armor slowing a stabbing attack by a lightsaber

Compare to Yoda tossing a lightsaber blade casually through the chest of a Trooper in ROTS. Granted, the armor may be different, but surely this "Falleen"'s armor isn't superior to that of the Republic's shock troops? Granted, it's Yoda we're talking about here...

Nitpicking, but still. Nice set of quotes!

Yoda could have stabbed harder at the armoured troopers than he would have unarmoured flesh to drive his blade through without a signifigant pause.

Republic Clone Troops use blaster resistant armor (it's cheap and easily massed produced. We do know that blaster-proof armor does exist in Star Wars, it's just rare and very expensive. A blaster-proof set of armor would be more dense than a "merely" blaster-resistant set. The denser the material the more resistance it has to lightsabers.

It's very possible that this mercenary (hired and supplied by Dooku) had a set of this expensive (probably illegal) blast-proof armor.

Anyways, my point is that Clone/Stormtrooper armor is hardy the creme de la crop, and stronger armors exist.

[Adrian Laguna]

It is not unrealistic for a mercenary or bounty hunter to be better equiped than a soldier. The bounty hunter only needs to arm and equip himself, The Republic/Empire must pay for the training, food, armour, weapons, and salary of millions of soldiers. The most expensive stuff obviously won't be issue en masse.
