Interesting. Out of curiosity, what was the injury? Must have been quite severe.

Well, the story never had a picture of Zaroff included anywhere. In actuality, Zaroff is described as having a thin face and being short, which is not what Zsinj looks like, it's just the way I envisioned Zaroff to look like was fat with a black, curly mustache (the mustache was from the story, though). I was merely pointing out that it reminded me of him.

It's not that Qui-Gon Jinn was a bad character, but he seemed almost pointless. He's there, discovers Anakin, and then dies. Plus, he really didn't have that Ben Kenobi Jedi Master quality, but more of a: "Oh, look at me, I'm a Jedi". He just didn't strike me as the Jedi Master type.

After reading the latest conversation: Well, there was no need to make fun of me, was there? I merely try to inform everyone (even though I usually end up confusing them). . . . I can see where I'm not wanted. And, yes, dude21, in reality general and admiral are equal ranks, just different branches (Army and Navy, respectively) . . . but here . . . So, you don't like me very much, do you, Scathane?

Well, I have a high pain tolerance . . . but this is ZOOT we're talking about. Oh hell . . . I'm dead.

Ever cross-train with any other countries? (usually only special operation units do that, but I've heard of airborne units doing it as well)

Oh great . . . now I'm in for it.

Oh . . . well, it's about this hunter going to South America to hunt jaguars and gets stranded on an island owned by two Russians: a small one named Zaroff and his servant, Ivan. Zaroff is the greatest hunter in the world and has hunted every animal on the face of the Earth, but it turns out that after so many years of hunting he no longer feels a challenge from hunting. So he starts to hunt stranded sailors on his island. So he tells the main character to hide on the island for 3 days and if he can do so, Zaroff will release him. In the end, the guy out-smarts Zaroff and ends up killing him and Ivan. It's a lot better than how my brief summary makes it sound.

If only it could ALL be fixed/corrected . . . but I won't get into that.

That was what I thought too, but I went with 4 just to make sure I didn't say less than the actual number. If they had made Maul last a little longer (like into Attack of the Clones and maybe even into EPIII), then maybe he would have been a better on-screen character.

True. Quite true. :: quickly looks around to make sure Zoot heard nothing of the conversation ::

Yeah, I just realized my mistake. Major between Lieutenant Commander and Commander? :: cringe :: Ugh . . . it sends a shiver up my back to just hear that.

He looks like a fat Cossack. Makes me think of General Zaroff in the story "The Most Dangerous Game" (or at least how I imgained him).

Not sure of who they are (I'm in the U.S. and don't know much about the Canadian Armed Forces). I'm here at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, USA: home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) nicknamed the "Screaming Eagles".

Maul spoke a total of what? Four sentances?

No sh*t! What unit?

Do you mean it's easier to go from Lieutenant Commander to Commander?

Wait! What the hell? No way! No freakin' way! There's no way I'm going back with that . . . that . . . thing! I'd have Zoot as my nurse before . . . them!

I see . . . Zsinj? Oh, I see, you exchanged him, right?

I third it, Scath! (don't worry, I knew what you were talking about all along)

You mean to say you don't have actual work to do? I mean . . . what is it that you people who work and are at the site always actually do at work? If you get bored of your job: quit and join the Army!

Scathane, get back here and update that listing before I kick your tail . . . sir.

Perhaps those that later glow blue (Ben, Yoda, etc) are a select few. Perhaps those that were "chosen" by the Force or thge midi-chlorians. All-in-all, though, I think it's better to just leave it an open question because it stimulates your mind to come up with new ideas. The Force and those who serve and how they do so do not need explaining. . . . I never liked Qui-Gon very much anyway.

Exactly what I was going to say, general. Is there a reason you have to go to work first, Elvis?

Well, fine, if you want to be that way. I would be willing to help if you would just inform me (though I should all ready be).
