Haha.. its a TV series - of course it will have bad characters, actors, and storylines. Just hope the good characters, actors, storylines outweigh the bad ones. Anyway, looks like there's still lots to come after Episode 3. Lucas can keep milking the Star Wars cow for another decade or more.

Excellant - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of the books everyone should read. It is hillarious! I've all the books and the TV series episodes.

In terms of its usage in being a war machine.... obviously they didn't tell the Imperial scientists that when it was created. It was used against the Mon Calamari and they had to counter with the V-Wings.

It is specifically designed to churn out Tie Drones. Wonder if Eville's found a way to get this into the game. It would be interesting to see... much like the Kadeshi swarmers.

Well Eville has them listed on the ship list: http://warlords.swrebellion.com/shiplist.php Another ship from this period is the Eclipse, also on the ship list.

I expect that Vader never wanted to go back to Tatooine, esp after the death of his mother. Too bad of memories.

They are specifically from the Dark Empire series of comic books. I believe this is approximately 6 years after The Battle of Endor, 1 year after Thrawn in Heir to the Empire.

It is explained in one of the Clone Wars books that the elite troopers (the ARC troopers) are breed with more individuality to give them more flexibility in fighting in an unorthodox way. While these are all clones, they aren't droids. They do have individual minds, experiences, even passions. Obi-Wan and other people on the frontlines in the books learn to treat them more than just soldiers. Okay, that's my little side post. Carry on...

Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith... and a nice beginning in Clone Wars, Episode 20

The infamous "shield generator" debate... http://warlords.swrebellion.com/faq.php#sub3

Most theories are that he is attuned to the Force. That's how he can hunt Jedi so effectively and combine his biological units to his mechanical ones.... Darth Vader anyone?

Also Allston is in line to write some books post-NJO. Hopefully we will see the Wraiths there too.

The movies are going from a good times to bad. The Republic, in its prime, was peaceful, prosperous... of course the atmosphere of the prequels would start this way. That's why you have the shiny new ships and the brighter settings. From the next movie, we see it getting darker.. dustier.. and we start to see the flaws in the Republic come to light. By Episode 3, we will see the darkest side of the Republic and the shine gone, as the Republic struggles to hold onto its own values. The classic trilogy represents a time of chaos... disorder. Years of the Galactic Civil War has brought the extremes of weather, dirt, rust. Obviously the technology would be worn, old, not sleek. The years of combat would be apparent, making the classics a darker story. The transition from the Republic to the Empire will hopefully make Episode 3 a much more interesting movie. From Episode 1 & 2, we have the setup already. Now we're getting to the action and into a very plot-driven movie. --- The good thing about the classics were they started in the middle. Actions were already started, things were already rolling. A solution proposed was to start the prequels in the same way - in the middle of the Clone Wars. While this would have some obvious benefits, we do lose a lot of the backstory of Anakin Skywalker and Padme. At any rate, this is Lucas's story. I don't mind as long as there's a Star Wars community to discuss the movies and the expanded universe.

And that's a wrap folks! Topic closed.

At this point, I just want Lucas to finish telling his story and get it over with. While I hold no interest in the actors, the acting, the love story, or the movie credentials, I just want to see this plot finished. You really can't screw it up now... lots of things the fans expect that will have to happen. Continue with the epic space battles and the lightsaber duels, and I think it'll be fine. We know this isn't going to be the awesome "end of the trilogy award-winning" movie that Return of the King was. Nor is it really likely that it is going to be "what the end, what the heck, disappointment" that Matrix Revolutions was. Lucas just has some storylines that need to finish... the end of the Clone Wars, the rise of Vader, the death of Padme. Let's face it... people will go see this movie whether Jar Jar Binks is in it or not. Lucas as his story to tell, as he did for the classic trilogy, so let him tell it.

lol.. we only have so much bandwidth. If anyone wants to mirror the files, and has a reliable host, talk to Eville Jedi.

I think he has to rely on some sources to establish a base. But after that, it should stats that balances gameplay - not strict stats from any source.

I think it was Children of the Jedi I hated that book, but read the review anyway: Review: http://www.theforce.net/books/reviews/cotj.shtml

Neither. Its an MMORPG

Anyone know how to get the PC version to work on a Ati Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP video card? I beat the minimum requirements and still get 0 frame rate. PM me if you have ideas

"A zebra cannot change its spots." -... I'll leave you guys to figure out who said it

Ok.. seriously off-topic. Topic closed.

Lucas has stated that he will not make another trilogy. Thus let the fans have their fun. Try the Virtual Sequals at TFN
