No. What happens is this. Luke must return from Dagobah. Then when he encounters Vader, Vader will say the whole "Luke I am your father" bit. After that, once Luke and Leia are on the same planet, Luke will tell her about the Skywalker heritage. Then you will get a message from Leia saying something like "Luke has revealed to me that I can use the Force as well", and then you're golden.

Now that you mention it, I recall that situation. I think it started off by talking about shoe sizes and how my feet shrunk... Thats kinda how I was in school...not very good at sports. That was until I realized that I made an awesome goalie. So from 10-12th grade, I was usually slapped into the goalie spot when we played soccer or hockey in gym. On a side note, thats where my nickname "Big Bad Bob" derives from.

Are you stalking me?

HAHAHA!! That was great Tofu. That is a great movie!!!

Yeah, I rarely use it to destroy more than two planets per game.

Okapi found in wild The reason I found this interesting is because I see them all over when I go to the Bronx Zoo in NY. The zoo there must have okapi in at least three different exhibits, so I never realized how rare they were in the wild. I think its awesome. Go okapi!!! Edit: OMG Im less than 100 posts away from hitting 3000 Double Edit: Anyone got a bunch of money lying around?

It is good for several things even without using the superlaser. First, it will bring planets under control. Planets in the same sector as the Death Star will become more loyal to you, presumably out of fear of the Death Star. If the Death Star leaves the sector, the systems will lose loyalty to you. Also, the Death Star is great in orbital battles. At the start of the battle, the Death Star's superlaser is fully charged. So you can click on the superlaser, then a Rebel capital ship, and the Death Star will instantly destroy it. If the battle is a longer one, the superlaser will eventually recharge, allowing you to fire at another capital ship. Thirdly, the Death Star has awesome carrying capabilities in regards to fighters and troops. Also, the Death Star helps out in bombardments. When you perform a bombardment with a fleet containing a Death Star, the Death Star will increase the bombardment value, resulting in greater devastation. However, I think you have to have at least another capital ship in the fleet in order for the bombardment option to come up. The Death Star also makes good bait. Rebels will constantly be trying to sabotage it, so as long as you have plenty of troops and some good personnel in command, you should be capturing a good number of Rebel scum. Of course there's the superlaser itself, in all its planet-busting awesomeness. Sure, some people will be sad and upset when you blow away their neighbors, but so what? You just blew up a freakin' planet!!! Its an awesome way to destroy the Rebel HQ once you find it. And remember, when you blow away a planet, there is a good chance of capturing or killing the Rebel personnel on there. Lastly, the Death Star is just so cool. How can you not make one?!

As for additional skills, only Vader and Luke can train others in the Force (though Luke gains this ability later in the game). There is also the "encounter skills", where whenever Luke or Leia encounter Vader or the Emperor, there will be an "encounter". This encounter occurs when one character of each side is on the same planet, so it usually occurs during missions, when one of the characters is on the planet you sent your character to do a mission on. Mind you, it only works for Leia if Luke reveals to her that she is his sister, and she gains some ability in the Force. Anywho, if either of the Skywalkers encounter Vader or the Emperor, they will gain a substantial increase in the Force, which translates to increased combat and espionage stats. There is a chance that one of the four characters will be captured or injured. I think it is based off of the Force ranking and combat skills of the two characters involved. To target a particular captial ship, just left click on your what you want to attack it (whether its a task force, TIE squad, or single capital ship). Then right click on the ship you want to attack.

Thats a tough one. I suppose it really depends on the situation and your own personal morals. For example, if you're doing something bad, but it will help you in long run, maybe it is worth doing, so long as it doesn't go against your own personal morals. At the same time, doing something against your morals may benefit someone else or society in the long run, so maybe its worth doing. I suppose there is no correct answer. It all depends on your own personal morals, in my opinion.

Well, Thrawn was an alien race, so I guess it kinda applies...

The demo has been download quite a bit.

My question is this: How is it possible for that page to ever say "yes". And this is the response to which post? http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/a015.gif Well, the title of the page is "Has the Collider Destroyed the Earth Yet", with a big "NO" on the page itself. Thus, if the Collider ended up destroying the world, the page wouldn't be able to tell us that since we would all be gone.

I most certainly did

HAHAHA!! That was awesome Eagle. Super find! Now if only they showed the Predator skinning some Ewoks...

My question is this: How is it possible for that page to ever say "yes".

And I thought the American commercials were weird... Edit: Mario caught on To Catch a Predator

Those are excellent Cain! Better than the "obscene bodypart" creatures I have been hearing about... I have been seeing a lot of Spore in video game-related news and whatnot, and the concept of the game sounds very intriguing. However, my laptop doesn't play games very well, so I am forced to pass. I have heard rumor that they may be developing a port for the Wii, and if thats the case, I will definitely snag it up.

My sister just called me as she was playing the first Super Mario Bros. for the NES, and was complaining about the "owls". I was very confused, but eventually realized she thought that goombas look like owls. I dont see where she gets that idea from. Goomba Owl

That doesn't sound very tasty at all...

I dont think it Krytos. I think its his alien clone, which was birthed from a pod field in the Outback.

...wow...

Of course!!! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I dunno if I will ever see the Cup again. Its really an amazing piece of work. The coolest part was that there was no case or anything around it, so I was allowed to physically touch it. Definitely worth the hour trip there and hour 1/2 trip back (dang traffic). I dont think I'll ever wash my hands again...

IM GOING TO SEE THE FREAKIN' STANLEY CUP TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering she's the governor from Alaska... I would say most Alaskans would support the drilling. It would give people income where they wouldn't get anything from the environment otherwise (besides fishing) Thats what I figured when I saw that she supported it. I guess I have a soft spot for the environment in some respects, and I dont know if I like the idea of tearing up the tundra up there. But as you said, its probably for the best. The people up there have a hard enough time as it is.

I guess Im happy with McCain's choice. I was unsure who he was going to elect, and she seems pretty decent. As Tofu said, I have yet to dig up more information on her, since I never heard of her before now. The only thing I heard about is that she supports additional drilling up in Alaska, and Im not sure how I feel about that. But anywho, my vote will be going to McCain.
