Be warned, though. If you have any installed Extensions, it's probable that they won't work with v.1.0 PR yet; the official v.1.0 will be out in Nov. Supposedly.

I use Firefox as well, BTW v. 1.0 pre-release can be downloaded now. Opera is missing from that poll, I'll add it. EDIT: Couldn't add the option unless I had to make the poll again and thus lose all the votes already there. So if anyone uses Opera or anyother browser just specify in your post.

Actually all that SPAM is only a tactic developed by the Warmaster to fool stupid humans into sacrificing their organs to the Yuuzhan Vong, hoping to grow a new one, instead they will get a regrown-dovin basal meant to stop the continuation of the human species.

Yes... But be warned that it is a Painful experience. Plus you will have to sacrifice one or two organs.

Oreton seemed hypnotized by the revelation of such a powerful battlestation, its sheer firepower had driven doubt into him. "Orders sir?" "What is the status of the evacuation?" "About thirty percent, we are detecting that a few Kavia Cruisers and their fighter wings have started to orbit Csilla." "The Galactic Alliance fleet?" "They have arrived, and will be engaged by the Raporan reinforcements." "Signal the Alliance commander, and tell him of the Raporan group moving to intercept the evacuees. Tell him to send as much as he can without compromising his position. And get me Baron Fel." "Fel here," the voice came from the communications console. "Status?" "All Missileboats alive, but we have almost depleted our loads." "Return to the Imperious for reloading and then move to the opposite side of Csilla to keep the escape corridor clear." "Yes, sir." "What should we do about that thing?" Captain Onolovav asked. "Send TIE Scouts to get as much data on that things as possible. Other than that start removing some of our elements from Csilla's hypermass." *** Ulan breathed more lightly as he drew away from the huge Cruiser, he had separated himself from the Imperial Missileboats, drawn to the massive cruiser by the distinct presence of a Force-user on board. A dark-side user. He had manuevered and dodged plasma fire, and had instinctively fired on a section of the ship, his fighter suggested it had been the sensor array. Ulan manuevered back to the furball were the Chiss were fighting the Raporan invaders, but Ulan could not help to keep the position of the cruiser in his mind. The dark essence on the ship was too strong and continued to distract him. Then he felt another echo of that same strength, weaker much weaker. And another. One he knew came from another cruiser, one that was exchanging fire with one of the Imperials vessels, but the other, one still untrained and unfocused, but inequivocably evil emanated from one of the starfighters. Ulan focused on that particular dark-pilot whose strength had unsettle him. OOC: Not enoguht time for something else.

I didn't...

I agree with you Predator 2 is better than 1, and I sympathize with Scath about the ESB being the only Star Wars Second episode.

OOC: LONG Post warning! This is what you get for having two of my chars in the same battle. A single organic-looking starfighter carried Ulan Shai into battle. Coming out of nowhere he joined the Chiss Clawcraft ranks in their struggle against the invading Rapora. The assignment Alema and the Council on Zonama had given him seemed to be abandoned in the face of such circumstances. The original mission to ask for an audience with the Ruling Families was exponentially more distant as the Rapora moved closer to the world. In the Sekotian Fighter that he had grown in the past weeks, he flew onwards to meet the wavecrest of Raporan Fighters. The massive Kar Lur cruisers hung against the starry backdrop, a feeling of darkness seemed to emanate from them, Ulan momentarily dismissed the feeling as he shifted his attention to the frenzy battle around him. "Adamantine Leader, break to port. Now." Ulan ordered and the Chiss piloted obediently followed his command, heavy plasma fire cut through the space that had been occupied by the Clawcraft. Ulan maneuvered behind the Raporan vessel and ordered his Sekotan fighter to open fire. The Raporan fighter exploded. Ulan felt the pilots death in the Force, just as he had with the handful of Rapora that had found their death today. "Thank you, Jedi One. Good shot." A plain Chiss voice congratulated him and Ulan sped back to the furball, hoping to distract the Rapora from shredding the Clawcrafts at such a fast pace. He gazed down to the glacial homeworld of the Chiss. Dark gray smoke stained the blue orb, and millions of glittery dots moved away from it, seeking an escape into the starry sky. An exodus as it had never been seen in this regions of space before. "Pulsar Squadron, move away from the Frigates." Ulan shouted into his comm, but it was milliseconds too late. Raporan heavy warhead impacted on two Chiss Frigates that went out in a minuature supernova, swallowing Pulsar Squadron within instants. The frigates' death opened another gap within the Chiss defense wall, the lost of another squadron lowered the already ridiculous chances of survival for the tireless defenders. The Raporan mines and smaller craft started their incursions to break up the fragile formation of the Chiss. Another flash of light in the formation, Admiral Steren's flagship incinirated and exploded. The Chiss defensive wall was crumbling. Ulan felt the distinct presence of three Rapora Star fighters closing on him, and knew of the slight advantage he had over them. His abilities did not enable him to fathom their thoughts and strategies but he clearly perceived the changes in their aggressiveness and could especulate their possible strategy, in return he knew that for all their Force-sensitivity they would have a hard time detecting his presence in the Force at all. Ulan juked and jinked, causing the Rapora to misfire a few of their shots, and then all of a sudden felt a very distinct angry satisfaction, and knew that one of their special torpedoes was closing on him, decomposing into many other smaller torpedoes, too many for him to evade. As a Jedi, he knew he had yet one single choice. He mustered all of his awareness into slightly pushing away every of the small projectiles, if only one of them impacted he would meet his end. The Sekotian Fighter, just as Force-sensitive as he was, augmented his effort and the fast moving projectiles slowed down. Other deviated themselves. With him so focused on the effort he knew he would fall prey to their plasma cannons instead. A whispered prayer to Yun-Yammka escaped his lips, an old prayer that always came to his mind as he was faced with the inexorable. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a blur and another, and another. He breathed deeply as a flash of light englobed him. *** Over a dozen of white daggers of all sizes, and a single gigantic grey spearhead materialized above the Chiss defensive group. Green turbolasers bristled and rained destructive fire on the attacking Rapora. On one of their smaller vessels hull damage was detected which caused a short elation in the bridge of the Imperious. Oreton casually looked over the holographic representations. The Star Destroyers were moving to their assigned positions, their gunners momentarily worried only with destroying the Raporan fighters trapped within the Chiss fleet and the Imperial Destroyers. Hundreds of Raporan mines spread over the battlefield, alerted Oreton to tactics he should beware. "Launch Shower Group," Oreton dictated. "Their priority are the mines. Use Pulses alone, and keep their distance from them. Signal to all ship, to launch starfighter and the screen squadrons." From one of the Sovereign Destroyers many hangar bays a group of Assault Transports launched, loaded uniquely with Ion Pulses, and MagPulses. The transports targeted the mines, with their ion projectiles and the mines' number started to decrease. As literally thousands of TIEs raced into space, the battle of Csilla became a true pandemonium. With TIEs returning to their mass-superiority tactics to overcome the Raporan fighters and with light shuttle performing warhead interception tactics the battle raged on. "One of the Cruisers is maneuvering, they are protecting their rear. we have their attention," Captain Onolovav reported. "The others are out of range to our fleet. "Baron Fel?" Oreton asked. The elderly General had insisted in flying a Missileboat into battle, and had launched as soon as they arrived. "His flight has cut through some of the Raporan Fighters, and rescued one Sekotian fighter. I did not know there were Jedi here?" One of the officers commented. "Instruct Baron Fel to target the Raporan Fighters, and open me a channel to the ground." "Admiral, we detect heavy activity on the opposite side of the planet!" Onolovav pointed out. "Rapora?" Oreton asked. "No, it seems a mass evacuation. The Chiss are leaving their planet." Oreton's jaw dropped slightly. So the mission profile had changed, the Imperial Fleet was not here to stop the Rapora completely, only delay them long enough for the Chiss to evacuate their world. Just like Nirauan. Unlike Nirauan. Oreton trusted the capacities of his fleet and his flagship to succeed in this particular mission relatively unscathed. "Channel to the ground open," his Communications officers spoke. "Admiral Rensa here." "Admiral, my fleet has reinforced your defensive wall, I request command over all Chiss vessels, until the evacuation is complete." There was a hesitation in the response, but Rensa understood that with Admiral Steren gone the Fourth Fleet would lose their order. "Agreed, Csilla out." "Lieutenant," Oreton asked his communications officer. "Rensa has ordered the Fouth Fleet to obey your instructions, we are receiveing order requests." "Assign them their functions according to the stipulated battleplan," Oreton ordered the captain. Oreton analyzed the Raporan formation, they had started to shift to a more conservative formation, realizing that the Imperial fleet could take advantage of their scantly defended rearguard. If Oreton's analysis of the Raporan proved true, he trusted they would keep their rear mostly undefended. "What's the ETA on the Alliance fleet?" "According to Litok's schedule, Helos and Ioor should be here within minutes." "As soon as they're here, order them to take potshots at the Raporan rear, if we distract them enough we might just might make them bleed." *** The flash of light passed and the three Raporan fighters behind him were gone. A flight of starfighters he had never seen before flew over him. "Thank you, Strikefast Squadron," Ulan said into the comm. "Neat trick on the torpedoes, Jedi," an elderly-sounding male voice answered. "May I join you?" Ulan asked as he followed the fast and agile starfighters that had just saved his life. "Sure go ahead, always glad to have a Jedi take his best shot at one's side." The human laughed briefly and then sped towards the Raporan formation. Only then did Ulan realize the massive number of Imperial vessels that had reinforced the Chiss. OOC: Long post... Hehe... my fingertips hurt...

Admiral Oreton locked his gaze with Pellaeon, he knew that the Grand Admiral had every intention of sending him to the battle, thus the only question was the number. The Patrol fleet that had been originally asigned to Oreton was not enough for such a confrontation, especially with its flagship in such precarious shape. Oreton could read Pellaeon's mind as he compared the strengths of the two fleets as he second-guessed tactics and motives, as his experience ticked in, most likely trying to remember any reference made by Thrawn about this threat. There was a glint in Pellaeon's eyes, one that made Oreton supress a shiver, Pellaeon was considering to lead himself the battle; just as spontaneous the glint disappear. Pellaeon was a man who understood his responsabilities, partly he wanted to experience such a battle again, a deadly threat, one that would force him to become better; but deep down he understood the responsibilities to the thousands of millions living within his Empire. There was a soft rasp in his voice. "The Empire has had a funny evolution, half my lifetime ago, it was a symbol of evil and corruption beyond everyone's fears. Now it had become a valuable ally, a fraction within an Alliance of Peace. I will send a considerable part of my fleet to fight and possibly die in Csilla's sky. Admiral Oreton, who has had the most experience with this enemy will command the Sovereign Star Destroyer Imperious, twelve Imperial Deuces will join him, among them Relentless and Stellar Laberynth." Oreton felt uncomfortable. The command of the Imperious scared him more than the confrontation with the Rapora. But he nodded to the Grand Admiral. "Chief of State Omas, I will depart within the next hour for Csilla." "The Empire of the Hand wishes to participate as well," Fel said, "I will join Admiral Oreton as the commander of the fighter corps of the Imperial Fleet." "Thank you, General." Oreton said, Fel was a very competent man, more than him when it came to the appropriate deployement of starfighters. "I thank you for your assistance," Cal Omas said. "Supreme Commander Evahe, wishes to address you."

Imagine what would happen if "Hidden Holos from Vader during his teenage years" started to appear on the Holonet... INTERIOR STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE: PIETT: Hey Veers, come on check out this Imperial Celebrity Paparazzi site, they save have some secret Vader holo. VEERS: You think this is safe? PIETT: Yeah, I smuggled an ysalamiri on board. Look at this "Vader as an insolent brat." Piett clicks on the file and SITHSOFT Media Player opens and plays the holo. "I couldn't find a speeder I liked"... "It's Obi-Wan's fault he's holding me back"... "I don't like sand, it is coarse." PIETT: Vader was like this? VEERS(shocked): Ugh, incredible. And we serve a guy that didn't like sand??? But the girl was hot. Who was she? PIETT (reads): Padme Amidala from Naboo. You think they might be more girls like her on what-its-name Naboo? VEERS: I say we take our ysalamiri and geo and check it out, after that holo I don't fear Vader as much. If tries to stop us, we'll toss a few kilos of sand in his direction and remind him that Obi-Wan is still holding him back.

La Forge had found one particularly bizarre GIF a while ago, but this kind of topic shouldn't be discussed here.

First scene in space, last scene no voices only music and chirps. In the original Trilogy Artoo gets hurt in all the three movies.

Fact, read about it in the Just the Facts Section from TF.N Sorry, but the situation is remarkably similar. A severe post traumatic injury, that triggered an amnesia, especially relating to the people closer to him. Vader will remember about Threepio as he represents adistant shimmer of happier times (much like SOCL remembers about us), and definitely about Kenobi. But after the battle over the lava pit, the dark Side will consume him almost entirely, so I'd theoretize that memories of Padme/her pregnancy would be pushed to the back of his mind and forgotten (even if they are stronger feelings). Until he meets Luke, and learns about Leia. And yes it was an accident, a snowboarding accident IIRC. Conjecture, but even if I were the Dark Lord, I'd be ahamed of the whiny teenager I had been.

He lives in Nal Hutta and is fluent in over six million of Huttese insults.

Most likely his @sithmail.rep mail address will be filled with Spam offering him Midichlorian Tablets and memberships to Twi'Lek Porn Sites or wanting to sell the latest XP 38 Landspeeder, with anti-Jawa Guarantee.

The "thought betrayal" line is in all movies, it's not always the same line but there always mention of thoughts betraying someone.

Probably he'll be running Microsith Media Player, and Microsith Office, and that will cause him to slow down considerably while Obi-Wan looks for the OFF Switch and Mace Windu tries the Ctrl-Alt-Delete trick to end his "jedikiller.exe" task. Perhaps Artoo will fight him, in a spectacular Droid vs. Droid showdown; Artoo wil use his weapon of choice (aka Fusion Welder) and put a restraining bolt in Grievous's heel.

"Certainly sir. Most of you are aware of my mission to Ossus nine days ago. Then, I presented the Rapora threat as a phantom force from the Unknown Regions. Now I most insist in depicting the Rapora as a very powerful enemy, that we should stop at all costs. General Ioor, most likely has presented you the opening events of the assault on Nirauan, how his task force was engaged and he decided to flee to Nirauan, not before sending a distress signal which I intercepted and took two ships with me to Nirauan." Fel moved asking for permission to speak. "On Nirauan the late-Admiral Parck and I were discussing the Rapora threat with Master Skywalker when the Imperial fleet appeared in orbit, shortly followed by the Galactic Alliance fleet and the Raporan-Vagaari force on their heels. Admiral Parck decided to launch our fighters and prepare for evacuation, in orbit I witnessed a maneuver brilliantly executed by Oreton to buy the Galactic Alliance force a few more minutes to make their run to hyperspace." "An offensive tactic?" Kre'Fey asked. "A delaying maneuver, I inverted the hypermass generators of the Interdictor to push the Raporan vessels away from the Alliance fleet. Shortly after that I received an order from Admiral Parck to withdraw which I obeyed to some extent, I ordered my two other ship elements to withdraw back to the fleet, while Right to Rule remained on the edge of the system." "The Rapora did not pursue you to the edge of the system? A micro-jump away?" The Alliance Supreme Commander asked. "No, because my ship was cloaked. I did eventually return to the dark side of the planet hoping to speed the evacuation of the base. I sent Mark III TIE Defenders to relieve General Fel's Fighter which had already started to withdraw. I sent some Imperial Elite Regiments to aide the Skywalkers and the Chiss in the ground battle. In orbit the Vagaari spotted me and started to orbit the planet, a single squadron of Rapora starfighters was sent as well." "How did the battle turn out?" Cal Omas asked "On the ground the Rapora were at an advantage, my troopers were greatly reduced as were the Chiss. They held the Rapora threat off for a few minutes in which the Chiss started to evacuate the complex. In orbit Right to Rule endured significant damage from the Vagaari. But the Rapora craft were far more deadlier, their anti starship weaponry jurt my shields severely, despite my attempts to intercept those slowmoving warheads." "Those warheads could have been used for the bombing of Demblu?" Kre'fey asked. "Definitely, I must mention that their starfighters simply shredded most of my TIE Defenders. I saw myself forced to launch my Missileboat squadron." "Missileboats?" Kre'fey asked, his fur rose in a gesture of surprise. "I was not aware the Empire was in position of such starfighters, according to the treaties the Empire should not be allowed to build such vessels." Kre'fey breathed with puzzlement. "Cloaking shileds, missileboats, Elites." "Calm down, Traest," Cal admonished him. Pellaeon's tired figure moved to answer. "The Empire has acted according to the treaties to the benefit of the Imperial people. Missileboats played a minor role during the war against the Yuuzhan Vong and right now were the only starfighter group to deal considerable damage to the Rapora, Admiral?" Oreton spoke again. "The Missile boats destroyed in total ten of the Rapora fighters. Eventually the Rapora Cruiser moved to intercept the Right to Rule as it prepared to receive the evacuees. One single salvo essentially killed the shileds, I lost all of my tractor beam generators and turbolasers and the ship was left with a smoking crater the size of a corvette." Supreme Commander Evahe gestured to him. "Was the evacuation successful?" "Partly, most of the Special Files were saved, as were some of the other 'interesting data', Admiral Parck died and the Skywalkers were lost during the jump to hyperspace." Fel reported. "Imperial Industries, have started production on-" Pellaeon could not finished as he spotted a figure speaking into Cal Omas's ear. "I apologize for the interuption, but we have word from Csilla." Another hologram appeared, and next to him. Baron Soontir Fel gasped as he analyzed his son's expression. "Fel here...

Eastereggs, jokes, references, Special Effects... Did Episode I have a plot at all??? Yes, the Naboo cow, and there's supposedly one Homer J. Simpson during the Gunship landing in the Arena.

The allmighty "OFF" Switch!!!

Our little droid was a fan of Wookiees, he used to say he wanted to be as tall as Chewbacca. Now he's over that phase and has taken a particular interest in Solo as his Verbobrain thinks that it's the only way for him to find a nice Princess, so he has decided to emulate him with his Jokemodule. Back to topic, about Thrawn's points; Anakin knows that Padme is pregnant. And Padme will die. But I do not think that he knows of the twins's birth, he will be most likely made to believe that she died before giving birth, (another reason to turn his anger at Obi-Wan?) As for his memory wipe, his situation should be similar to SOCL's. A violent crash (during the battle obviously) and he forgets about most of his life. (Perhaps he forgets how much of a stupid teenager he was, and becomes obsessed in becoming a really evil guy).

Found the Episode I reference on TF.N

A New Hope: Luke (Approaching Death Star) A New Hope: Han (Trash Compactor) Empire Strikes Back: Leia (Space Slug) Return of the Jedi: Lando (I think approaching the Death Star) Phantom Menace: Obi Wan (First line) Attack of the Clones Anakin (Tied to a post in the Colloseum)says it in

I have a bad feeling about this.

Shouldn't: MIDICHLORIANS! Should: Tarkin.
