Non-Jedi can fire Centerpoint, but the system was optimized for the late Anakin. I don't remember if they managed to reverse that. When Thrackan fired Centerpoint, he destroyed half the Hapan fleet along with the Vong. If Jacen hadn't talked Anakin out of firing it himself, the Hapan fleet would have suffered no casualties.

If Thrackan Sal-Solo, an inter-stellar space bumpkin, can fire Centerpoint, I think Han and R2 could manage.

Yea, but they've got those stupid anoying things built in to em *thinks* What are they called?......Oh yea, morals or some crap.
Personaly, I don't see the problem with wiping out the Vong, it's not like they'd hesitate to do it to the GA.
Anyway, couldnt Thrackan fire it only because Anakin had already set it up and all he needed to do was fire it?.....I think....

Could that be declared negltate homicide and assisting the enemy becuase they had the ability to cause a bad blow to the enemy and through their lack of action, caused a major military setback?

I've said it before here, and I'll say it again. That Omnimi is the real leader of the Vong, and that Shimmra is just a figure-head. And when Nom Anor uncovers this information, the Vong society will fall apart.

I'm hoping Tahiri will have a darkside turn, and maybe become a important figure in the end of the war. I just got FH3, and I'm enjoying in immensely so far. I've really taken a liking to the storyline of her having to fight her alter-self that the Vong implanted on Yavin, and that everyone thought was not an issue.

The Shamed Ones will also have a part to play in the fall of the Vong higher ups. I've been speculating if whether or not Nom Anor will have a face change, and end up being a believer or not, and how that could play into things.

It's a load of bullshit, Kyp isn't pussified, he isn't just pissed off all the time anymore, which was getting annoying, and Luke is more lenient towards letting the Jedi fight now too.

Allston needs to answer for absurdities in Iron Fist and Wraith Squadron.

But he has since redeamed himself.

Centerpoint is just one out of many examples of contrived, prefab "conflicts" where the Jedi make asses out of themselves over something as obvious as using a strategic weapon on an invasion fleet!

I Know this wont happen but I wish they could complete that Bio weapon and kill off all those Vong scum.

What if Tahiri goes to the dark side kills off many Vong but Anakin comes to her and stops her from killing them all. but then she dies knowing that she and Anakin will be together in the force.

I still dont see the moral grounds for not pounding the vong fleets from center point. They would be engageing and destroying a hostile for with superior firepower. Its not like they would be targeting civilian populations. Everyone killed with it would be a combatant that was intent on enslaving the galaxy.

I have a feeling that Hans prediction in Return of the Jedi will face the light when he lets Lando take the Falcon once again when he and Leia have to do some other buisness and Lando needs the Falcon to rescue some hostages that are going to be slaughterd by the Yuzzhan Vong (Unifying Force spoiler found in theforce.net on the Vong going to slughter countless GFFA officials) and Lando saves the people by getting to a diffrent rescue ship because the Falcon would have been destroyed
