from the little you hear about hutt's i wouldn't be suprised if jabba doesn't have a few hundred kids running around the place but he'd most likely keep most of em locked up back on Nal Hutta in his harem along with his dozens of wives and concubines. i dunno they seem very arabic to me for some reason lol

possible but i couldn't see anakin a slave boy on a backwater planet to have enough knowledge to program a droid in 6 million forms of communication especially some of the obscure stuff like ewok that he always seems to be able to interprit so he must have some form of factory programing at his basic core aswell and since he was made from junk that no one ele wanted it's highly liking his uniwue persona is just from having so many different parts stuck in him. but then saying that isn't it really weird a unique home built droid has an exact copy only in silver walking around on bespin in episode 5

you'd think though that a mass produced droid would have more chance of being less independent then a custom made one. personally i just find it really a sucky things having anakin making 3po. i mean my god could you imagine the therapy session that would be needed is 3PO discovered he ws made by darth vader

sorry would love to help out with protein folding but my pc idle time is already been claimed sorry. i have it set up for seti to use with their thingamabob searching for inteligent life in space. hehe has to be inteligent life out there somewhere casue there's bugger all here on earth atm

honestly i don't really think you can over dicuss anything i think the problems start to arise when you get people start flaming becasue of a difference of oppinion about a subject which kills it for people just enjoying the fact of disagreeing about something that really there is no definate answer for

probably a silly question but have you tried playing around in gmax ? could have a look at some basic textures and stuff then

i definately second this. personally i much prefer books that deal with star wars that isn't all luke han and leia and well episode 1,2,3 should of been aborted at cenception IMO

hahahahahahahahahahahaha *looks at renders obi wan again* hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha but seriously they couldn't find maori voice actors for the clones ?

*coughs and chokes as the dust falls off his account* wow been a while don't you hate when you forget about places you used to go the stumble into em one day *looks around for familiar faces*

i don't know about everyone else but i'd love for once to be able to buy and install a game and really enjoy right out of the box rather then having to make or install mods to have fun with it.

an old trick that used to work for music cd's and works if you just need the disc to verify the install kind of thing is put it in the freezer for 15 minutes between some kitchen towel. take it out and gently wipe the surface with a tissue then put it in. something with the cold contracts the scratches and causes less skipping

speaking of games with storylines that are rubbish who else hates games made from movies? i mean sure you may love a movie but does the game have to follow every single little stupid thing in the movie?

i'm not sure about other players but for me any game i can finish in less then a month is a waste of cash IMHO. most PS2 games i hire. usually finish them befoire i have to take em back. boring. a few pc games i've bought i've been able to beat in a week or so and they are just as boring. the game play may be great but if it's easy to beat it's a waste. most games have little rplay value because it's the same thing over and over with the enemy launching the same attacks all the time. games like rebellion that are a bitch to beat at first and the AI changes it's point of attack every time you play it. especially when playing as the empire because the rebs can move about so freely. for me that makes the game fresh and new everytime. sure graphics may not be the best in th world but for a poor bugger like me who never has the latest and greatest pc i can never use the best graphics settings anyway lol

you have to take such "journelism" with a grain of salt. it all depends on who's oppion they whre asking about the games. of course it wasn't any of us and probably a bunch of 15 year olds who play galaxies like their life depends on it. i mean ask enough people and someone will tell you barry manilow was the best singer in the world

thanks mad emailing it now

that ones isn't letting me upload it as an animated gif it's just going up as a single image. i'll find somewhere to get the damn thing up

jahled i played arpound with the image and even made a gif of it but for some reason it screws up when i upload it everywhere. i sent a copy to mad over msn and he said it looked cool. will try out a few more leads for free hosting nd see if it works there

jahled any chance i could get a copy of the psd file aswell? you should already have my email addy

sorry scathe should of been more specific then i was. jahled i quite often slow down the frame rate on other folks work and then rewatch it.it can save all the trouble of putting it into PS on heaps of layers and then clicking through them.

if you crack the gif open and have a look closely at the different images you'll probably find they have moved the woo yay images around just a slight bit for each frame. probably just a pixel either way but on a fast frame rate it'd make it appear to be jiggling

sorry i didn't go into a great deal more detail but most people use photoshop for graphics style stuff. i use it myself for some things but my main editor is paint shop pro. they both have features the other doesn't but i've been using psp for about 7 years now so know it inside out pretty much. latest version as a text optoin where you can actually set the outside stroke size of text while leaving the centre of the letters empty. i used this with antialias turned off then selected the inside of the letters and did a flood fill with greatly reduced opacity. the whole image was 6 layers but that included text for all the bits of the gif and the base image.

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c266/jampat/REBELLION.gif this the type of writing you where meaning?fairly simple to do if your graphics program allows you to set a seperate colour for stroke and fill on text.

i have a techniquew that will give that result not a worry mate. just hve to wait abit sorry cause i ngot a 10 minute drive but only 5 minutes to get to work lol

well i suppose it's not really suprising she croaked it. in the x-wing books i think it was she left politics due to ill health. plus she wasn't a young lady no more by that time. looked atleast in her late 40's in ROTJ

kinda looks like a imp star and a mon cal got together one night after too many drinks and that's the bastard child they produced lol
