All of his lines, aside from his girly scream as he falls into the Sarlacc, are in "The Empire Strikes Back" and are listed in my signature. He doesn't say much; actions speak louder than words.

Remember now, that only looks like a Taun-taun...it's really a Cracian Thumper, though. They've got a whole line of Star Wars toys for young kids. We got the set of Luke & his X-Wing/Artoo, & Vader for our 3-year-old. Too cool!

Chili-Macaroni & Cheese!! 'Nuff said. BBL's Mexican Chicken is to die for, too. YUM!! Favorite Pizza Topping: Canadian Bacon & Pineapple

Nevermind. Found it. One of the rare models that get posted here but not on your site, eh?

Whereabouts did you upload it to? It's not on your site...

Hmm...lessee now... *Three different Boba Fett Keychains *2 Boba Fett T-shirts (including one that says, "Boba Fett for Hire; Negotiable Rates, Quick Results...Hire a Pro") *Star Wars Monopoly Board Game *Star Wars Trivial Pursuit *Yoda Necktie *Star Wars CD Wallet *Han & Chewie Millenium Falcon cockpit mousepad *Stormtrooper Helmet Mouse *Buncha Star Wars Action Fleet and Micro Machines vehicles in a box in the garage *Buncha Star Wars Action Figures in the same box *Electronic X-Wing *Several Star Wars computer and console games *Inflatable Anakin Podracer display, complete with beverage holders (I think it doubles as a pooltoy); part of a Lays potato chips display at a Walmart in Ackley, Iowa that my brother scored for me. And of course: *1 complete suit of Mandalorian Armor *1 genuine Mandalorian Helmet, complete with all the bells & whistles *1 wrist gauntlet flame thrower *1 wrist gauntlet lanyard launcher *1 Mandalorian Jetpack *1 Blaster Carbine *Slave I (once the inheritance kicks in) Still working on the no-nonsense attitude and bass-a$$ reputation though...

That really is a shame. Has anyone managed to tell him that he's actually missed here?

Welcome Krytos, and congrats!

All good points, wrathOfbOb! I nearly always play as the Rebels, so early capital ship confrontations are verboten. I prefer to establish "sector fleets" in each of the core sectors in which I have adequate support, even if that "fleet" consists of only two Corvettes. It gives me a mobile platform for my spec-ops units and characters to harass Imperial systems, and allows me to keep the Empire on the defensive as they constantly chase my fleets around. Meanwhile, my shipyards are concentrating on building starfighters until the system has at least three shipyards on it, and even then I won't build anything more expensive or time consuming than a Nebulon-B. I won't even think of building a Mon Cal in a shipyard unless it has at least 5 of them.

True, dat! On top of that, you've had a few "leave of absences" that makes your total even more impressive.

You'll never know, Scathe...you'll never know.

My apologies! I didn't mean to offend a fellow Dutchman. Your post total, accumulated in such a short amount of time, is truly awe-inspiring in its spamminess, Scathe!

Yup. I say, "Blame Elvismiggel and AdmiralAntilles"! They're the ones who 'coached' me as to increasing my post count.

Kind of a "sci-fi samurai", eh? I can dig that.

I got that impression from one of the short stories about him, where he refuses Jabba's offer of Princess Leia. He's simply a man out to uphold the law, not matter who's in charge.

No kidding, right? At my post rate, it'll take me a few years to reach THAT rank.

Okay, monologue then. Okay, so maybe I'm not as prolific a poster as, say, Elvismiggel, but I DO have my moments, if I do say so myself. <~ See that post count? Huh? HUH!?! Impressive, right?

You've invoked his name The horror! ... ... ... ... Actually, I've never experienced a 'Zoot War'. I've read about 'em in the threads, though, after a quick search. Zoot lives with Jahled, and occasionally gets a bit...um...carried away.

{directed over here from the other thread} Of COURSE he survived the sarlacc! I just saw him at the "Fett Family Reunion" a few weeks back. He gave me a new Trandoshan-skin holster for my blaster carbine. He was the best man at my wedding, too. As for what makes him cool, well it's a variety of things. First off, he just oozes coolness in his armor. And all those gadgets...he's a walking Swiss Army Knife with homicidal tendencies! He's given me a few pointers with my own armor, but I get the feeling he's holding out on a few details. Then there's his attitude...sure, he's standoff-ish most of the time, but you should ask him to tell the story about the bounty on the one-legged Devaronian and the constipated Rhonto! I swear, the way he tells it you'll have tears rolling down your face! Lastly, there's Slave 1. I learned to be a pilot in that thing as a teenager when he'd swing by the house on weekends. Handles like a dream, packs a punch, and is roomy enough to make even the long hyperspace jumps comfortable. You just don't find quality craft like that anymore. Sure, it's not a speedster like an A-Wing or anything, but its definitely got it where it counts. I'm hoping he leaves it to me in his will...

YESSSSSS!! Time to completely re-evaluate the ships I've currently got in my home settings. Many thanks, Mask, for sharing your skill.

Well, I like to think it's my brilliant personality, witty dialogue, cool gadgets, and chick-magnet starship.

I thought I read soemwhere that the TIE Interceptor was initially designed to have TEN lasers (1 on each wingtip, two on the cockpit, two on the end of each wing pylon). I'll have to look for the site I saw that on. The X-Wing is the quintessential Star Wars starfighter. It seems everything else uses it as a basis for comparison. From a strategic/tactical standpoint, I'd have to say the A-Wing is the best. Speed, wider range of fire, ECM gear...it's able to perform multiple roles in a fleet. Sure, it sucks against capital ships and is rather fragile, but it's still pretty sweet. The best performing fighter is obviously the TIE Defender, and for that it will hold a special place in my heart. However... My favorite TIE is the TIE Hunter from Rogue Squadron III. Sure, it's non-canon, non-EU even...but it's really pretty cool. Only two lasers, but it fires at such a high rate that it makes up for lack of quantity. It has ion cannons, proton torps, shields (A-Wing equivalent strength), and closing S-Foils ( ) for a speed boost. It handles like an A-Wing, is incredibly fast...it's the most fun I've had in a TIE since XWA. But if I had to choose a canon Movie starfighter, then I'd have to say the X-Wing, hands down.

It can be done. One of my Computer Gaming magazines did a story on the producers behind successful mods of different games. The production was massive, and most had 5-10 people in the development scattered across different continents. It can work, but it takes a lot of time and dedication.

My big problem with the DVD's is that Greedo shoots first forevermore.

Hey-ya Thumper! Glad you made it!
