Well, here is a theory. if you remember, the clone troopers out of the prequals were not exact clones of Jango, but instead were genetically altered to be perfect soldiers, not perfect mercenaries (Jango was more of a merc than anything else by the time of the prequals). Now, the biggest problem with genetically altering things, is that it doesn't always work out the way you planned. Cross a few DNA strands, throw is some choas theory, and problems are sure to arise. How long it will take, and what those problems are, no one can tell. Ok, so we have genetically altered clones, which may or may not behave as they should over the course of their lifespans. And we have a huge amount of time intbetween RotS and A New Hope. Enough time for Luke and Leia to grow into adults. Perhaps in that time span, the clones hit a glitch, and lost it? Clones all go insane, the new Empire has to fight them off, wins, and bans cloning to avoid this mess again. This way, both the EU, and the oh-so-screwed-up prequals are both correct. Or am I just senile?

OH SNAP!!!! I found the long lost Holiday Special, which George Lucas refuses to admit even exists!!! (Part 1, at least) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7255661301905279600&q=Star+Wars

I <3 Google video, as it leads me to great fan films for Star Wars. This is a really good one. Enjoy! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5351101160052590481&q=Star+Wars

One word. Midichlorians.

Religion, to me, is a problem for the world, and an answer for it. Throughout history, religion has caused wars, which have led to the deaths of countless people. Thousands more have been killed in the name of 'God' for refusing to convert to another persons religion. Then there were the witch hunts, the near destruction of Native American religons, and the massacre of an entire culture by the Spanish Conquistadors (It's a little known fact that Pizarro used a bible as part of his excuse to start his purge of the Incas.) But at the same time, countless people look to religion to help them get through their daily lives. In difficult times, people need something to help them through, be it a pet, a friend, or 'God'. And in todays world, people world wide need all the help they can get. Overall, religion is a necessary evil in my eyes. When I look at religion, I see a flawed system of hope, but a flawed system is better than no system at all. I personally think the world would have been a better place if religion had never existed, but that is neither here nor there.

Don't mind at all actually. A lot of people have never heard of it, let alone practice it. Basically, it boils down to.... well... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoerotic_asphyxiation There we go. I won't get into any more detail than that. I'll just say that I am her safety mechanism, as she is mine.

Sorry to burst all your bubbles, but I think I can clain the title of resident sadist. Having a girlfreind that is into autoerotic asphyxiation gives me a long head start in that department. Also, Parkour has a very fast cameo in a Madonna music video, Hung Up to be specific. Is it wrong for me to think she is still one hell of a sexy human being, as she is over 50?

I've said this before, and I will say it again. Dark Empire was a damned good trilogy. Bringing back the Emperor didn't cheapen Vaders' sacrafice at all. Bringing back the Emperor was just a way of showing just how strong he actually was. Also, GL strengthens this in the prequal trilogy, when Phalpatine was talking to Anakin on how a Sith Lord had found a way to beat death. Another great part about the Dark Empire trilogy was that it showed Luke growing immencely in his knowledge and power in the force. He comes to understand that the dark side cannot be beaten from the inside, an any attempt to do so will result in failure. I percieve this as a major stepping stone to the Jedis' understanding of the force in the NJO that there is no Dark side or Light side to the force, it all comes down to how a Jedi/Sith uses the Force. Hence the reason a Jedi (Luke for example) can use force lightning, and not fall to the darkside. Granted, a few things in the Dark Empire trilogy went a little overboard, like the Galaxy Gun, but overall it was probably one of the best trilogies ever written for the EU. Also, it as all done in watercolor, adding a +5 modifier to its' coolness.

Dark nest trilogy, written by Troy Denning. Cover art by Cliff Neilson. Book titles are The Joiner KIng, The Unseen Queen, and The Swarm War. If it weren't for the fact that you have to read them to know what will be happening n the next series, I would advise avoiding them at all cost. Worst trilogy of the EU, by far.

Pelleon was given control of the Empire after Daala resigned in Darksaber. If I am correct, the Moffs had lost control of the Empire long before this, probably when Thrawn showed up. If they didn;t lose power then, they most certainly did after the Dark Empire trilogy, and the warlords reigned supreme until Daala took over. Then Pelleon took over, until he retired after the Vong war ended. Pelleon left retirement during the Garogg incident, when he took over command as the Supreme commander of all GFFA forces after the death of Admiral what's-his-namedue to a mid-air collision. I can only assume he retired again after the end of that crisis.

Dont even joke about that. Three SSDs, even by themselves, pack quite the whallop. I made the mistake of tangling with three of them once, and learned my lesson. I may have beaten them, but they caused my fleet to run for the shipyards in a hurry.

Errrr, Pelleon was head of the Empire as a whole, not just the Imperial Navy. The Moffs were just sector controllers, and in the end, they answered to him, although he could not remove any of them from power. The Empire has been led by Admirals ever since Daala purged the warlords and took command.

What theory, the theory that Darwin was right?

There was guy who used skills like that to evade the police in a city near where I live. He almost got away, until he decided to jump a ledge without knowing where it led. I'm guessing the guy driving the car that hit him was a suprised as the runner when he hit the freeway.

Hold on just a god damned minute. Does this mean when I get a new harddrive, I need to get a new copy of XP? (It saddens me that I have to ask this, as I build computers on a regular basis. But software issues are still beyond me.)

I think you misunderstood Paul. The RP ended, but I have a ways to go before the story I am writing ends. We still have a ways to go before it draws to a close. in the SW universe, this story arc lasted wll over two years, possibly close to three. Not to mention the Corporate Sector hasn't even entered the war yet, along with yet another force the NR is unforunate enough to get riled up at the wrong time.

Editors note: Well, I finally got banned from my latest addiction. Apparently WoW CSRs do not appreciate being called nasty names in general chat. Oh well. Time to get back to work on this. Sorry it has taken me so long, WoW completely consumed me. The RP itself has already ended, so I will be working in earnest on finishing this. The ending was a blast to RP, and in natural SW fashion, it ended in a climactic battle in space. I will not say who wins, as it would spoil it all for you, and make me not want to write about all of it. With how quickly it all ended, this may only be a two part series, as the RP didn't go on for anywhere near as long as we had hoped. But, on with the story. Excelsior!!! "Admiral, the Purity is reporting damage to several of their primary sytems. Those unknown starfighters are to fast for our gunners to get a lock on, and our fighters are taking a beating. What are your orders?" captain Treviss said, worry in his voice. Cortviss stared at his screens, and sighed. This battle was not going well. "Have the rest of our vessels move forward to flank the Purity and the Divinity. Have our gunships move to protect the Purity. And have we recieved any word form other freindly forces?" Cortviss asked, but the comm officer shot him a painfull look. "The nearest vessel is the Golden Jewel, and it is almost half an hour away." the officer said, and Cotviss sighed. He was on his own for this battle. "Alright. Helm, once we reach to frontline, give me a 70-degree turn to starboard, 20 degree roll to port. Have our evac shuttles prepare to launch. We will be wanting to pick up survivors." he said, and Treviss looked to him, a quizzical look on his face. "Survivors, Admiral? All of our EV pilots are already being retreived." he said, and Cortviss nodded. "This may be true, but we will be losing vessels in this fight. And I would prefer that we do not leave escape pods where they may be hit my stray blasts." Cortviss said, and Treviss nodded. "As ordered Admiral." Treciss said, and Cortviss turned back to the battle, and watched as the two feets came into close enough range to begin the final duel. he had no doubt he would come out on top, but he did wonder who he was facing. He knew it was no ordinary commander, not one that was suicidal enouh to take on a force that outnembered them this badly. Whoever this was either knew what they were doing, or truelly was suicidal. Either way, only time would tell. ********************************************************** Admiral Drommel looked out the viewport of his massive flagship, and smiled. All around his vessel, workers swarmed around the massive patches of hull that were under repair. His vessel had seen nearly a decade of neglect, neglect that was now being repaired. It was a wonderfull sight, and he could not wait to get his vessel back out onto the front lines of combat, But he knew it would still be several weeks at best before that happened. The empire by itself did not have the resources needed to repair his vessel with anywhere near the speed he would have liked, As he watched the repair work being done, he heard footsteps from behind him, and he turned around to see one of his new aides walking up the bridge deck. He nodded to her, and she saluted smartly. Drommel waitied for a few moments, and then returned the salute. The Aide droppd her salute, and then held out a datacard. "here are the latest repair reports, Admiral. Weapons control has been repaired for banks forty-one through fifty, and work has begun on the next set. Also, the main hanger bays have ben brought back up to operational status." she said, and Drommel nodded. "Excellent. What about the Hyperdrive systems? I would like for them to be repaired as soon as possible." he said, and the aide nodded. "I will make a note of that, sir. But the hyperdrive will require extensive repairs and overhauls. It may be weeks before it is ready for a test run." she said, and Drommel sighed. he hated waiting, but he knew it must be done. "What is the status of the Lusankya? I notived a large amount of supplies were being diverted to her in the past few days." he said, aggravation in his voice. he vessel would require much less material to repair, and to him, it seemed foolish to waste time on the crippled hulk that was the Lusnkya. "Admiral teshik wishes for both vessels to be repaired and prepared for battle at the same time. I believe he may have something in mind for their use." she said, and Drommel nodded. "Of that, I have no doubt. Carry on, then. And have my shuttle prepared, I wish to go the the Lusankya, and walk her halls for myself." he said, and the aide nodded, and turned to walk off the bridge. Drommel turned back to the viewport, and wondered to himself what Teshik would have in mind that would require the use of two super-class Star Destroyers. One vessel by itself was enough of a headache for rebel commanders, two of them would be a nightmare. Whatever it was, Drommel knew it was something important. ********************************************************* Admiral Cortviss gripped the arms of his chair tightly as another salvo racked his flagship. He stared out the viewport, and stared at the carnage that was taking place around him. His fleet was being picked apart piece by piece, and nothing he did seemed to slow down the enemy vessels. And what was worse, all of his vessels were locked in tracotr beams, making escape impossible. "Order the Silvertide to make a turn to port, and target the Invidious! And have all remaining starfighters report in! I want to know what I have left!" he yelled, but when he did not hear an immediate response, he look for Captain Treviss. When he found him, his heart sank. treviss was lying face down on the deck, having fallen victim to an exploding console. Cortviss looked arond the bridge, and saw that several of his other bridge crewers were dead, or dying. He looked at one of remaining screens, and closed his eyes. They were dead in the water, and the ship was beginning to break apart. There was only one thing left to do. He tapped a button on his command console, and spoke loudly. "All hands, abandon ship. I repeat, all hands to escape pods. May the force be with you." he said, and he tapped another button, acitvateing a series of lights on the outside of his vessel. he wasn;t sure how many of them sere still intact, but only a few of them needed to be. ge tapped the button three times quickly, then twice slowly, the order needed to signal his vessels to stand down. *********************************************************** "Admiral, we are reciving surrender signals from several of the remaining enemy vessles. I can only assume all the other vessles have lost communications." the comm officer called out, and Pelleon nodded. "Excellent. Have all of our vessles hold their fire, returning fire only at vessels that continue to fight. have rescue shuttles launch, and begin picing up the escape pods." pelleon said, and he turned to Admiral tavira, a smile on his face. "Another victory for us, it would seem." he said, but tavira asnwered him with a snarl. "And how many of my vessles did you throw at those cruisersto get it? Almost my entire fleet is gone now. Not to mention the almost complete destruction of my starfighter forces." she said, and teshik chuckled from behind them. "I apologize for your losses, Admiral. But your pilots chose to ignore my orders, and proceeded to tangle with starfighters and pilots that far surpassed them in ability. Their foolishness rewarded them with their deaths. As for your larger vessels, there way not up to holding up to firepower from frontline vessles such as the ones we faced." he said, but Tavira was not convinced. If she didn't have to join the Empire before, with her entire fleet now gone, she had no other choice. "If you say so Admiral, but let it be said that I do not think you are telling me the entire truth." she said, and teshik nodded. "It shall be noted. Now, let us see what he have gained from this fight, shall we? i think we may be able to slalvage at least one of the Star Destroyers, if not two of them." he said, and Pellon nodded. "I will have salvage crew launch immediatly, along with stormtoppers to gaurd them." pelleon said, and teshik nodded. "Excellent. And make sure that they all know that all prisoners are to be treated with the same respect as their fellow soldiers, assuming they don;t put up a fight." teshik said, and he turned to leave the bridge. Pelleon wondered why the Grand Admiral would show such a thing, but then shrugged it off. It was not his place to ask such trivial things yet.

Is a washed up, terrible actor, with mediocre martial arts skills who is forced to sell third rate exercise equipment to make a living. Tito Ortiz > Chuck Norris. At least Tito can land a heel kick....

Your logic is flawed. Yoda could have taken on both Qui-Gon and obi at that point in time and whooped them. When it comes to the Jedi, Yoda is the 'Grand Master' of them all. (I can't believe I said that. A new reason for me to hate the Dark Nest trilogy.)

Dooku, to me, was the strongest character in the entire series. His calm demeanor and calculating mind would simply overwhelm everyone else, including that whiney little brat Anakin.

Only suggestion I have to to get rid of that annoying mouse following flashy thing. It gets irritating after a few minutes.

English please?

I can just see it now.... Alien: Hello, we are form an alien world, obviously. We have come here to help you humans save yourselves from your own self-destruction. Humans: Oh dear god, their going to kill us!!! NUKE THEM ALLLLLL!!!!! Alien: What the hell? Are you people that retarded? Humans: Quick!! Before more of them arrive!! Alien: You know what? Screw this. You want war? You got it. Eat plasma cannos, human fools!!!
