Dude, there would be about about six or seven of us....

..munching pop-corn in the crowd...

...emmm...i'm exceptionally dim when it comes to anything remotely concerning any file after a dot... Your original plug was to include additional music in rebellion...right?

..err...

I'm knitting him a scarf....

...and that has to be the best post on the subject I have read; balanced, reasoned, and taking into account numerous politcal arguments and alignments, and the transparancy they really are. There's no 'nobility' or 'rightiousness' here; everyone has their own hidden/not so hidden interests. The Americans do, the British do, the French do, the Germans do, and the Arab states do. It's called politics and it's all hypocritical lies and bullshit. That's the cold reality of the world. To believe otherwise is to be a fool. The fact that the United States requires 20,000,000 barrels of oil a day to be imported into the country is a chilling reality. The present instability in Venezuala, I believe the world's fourth largest oil-exporter, also cannot be ignored. The projected import requirement of oil for the United-States by 2020 is 29,000,000 barrels a day. Dah! The British North-Sea reserves have just about been used up. Economies need energy to power them. Germany and France also need oil-contracts; they're also looking out for themselves. Such is the ruthlessness of the world's stage. On the other hand, America and the British are being so bellicose because they believe the Iraqi's are evading the efforts of Hans Blix's inspectors. Iraq has steadfastly denied the US to use it's spyplanes...emm...I wonder why? Thousands of tons of chemical-weapons remain unaccounted for. Where are they and who's hands are they in? What troubles me, is that Iraq quite simply isn't a haven for Islamic-fascists! (Except for the areas declaired 'no-fly zones!') Compared it's neigbours, Iraq is one of the most tolerant places of religious belief. Tariq Aziss (or however you spell is name) is a christian! If the democratic west, that we enjoy living in, was really concerned about freedom, liberty, and democracy; why has the Islamic-middle east been allowed to exist? It's because of the black-gold in the ground, called oil. Gank,, don't you even dare claim any moral high-ground on this issue. Your passionate attacks at the United States have been heeded and noted, but shut the fuck up. Where do you think German industry invests it's money? Do you think Deutsche Bank strengthens the German economy by investing in Norway? I think not. So hang up your German hang up. I'm not into arguments of 'well we created and armed Saddam Hussain!' Either. Yeah, well the west-US,UK, France, Germany, did! During the cold war. I sure as hell wouldn't have the liberty to be typing what I am under commumism. Ultimately, it's all bullshit. I can't take it seriously. I look at pictures of young men burnt alive in cars and tanks from 1991...and I just despair at humanity's inability to grasp the fact it's adrift in a life boat called Earth floating through space. Those guys who just died in the shuttle apparently said how beautiful God's creation looks from above.

Golly, this is getting quite exciting! I take it we'll have a journalist on hand to report this fabled duel?

..emmm..that's a interesting point of view...I think i'll dwell upon for a while...

..emmm..interesting ideas, Swarmer. I sort of touched on this quite a while back with something to do with music from the Jedi Knight games. Nice idea, though, it would be cool to expand the background music of Rebellion with say a track from, for example, one of the Dark Forces games. Personally, I love the track 'Nar Shaddaa' from the original Dark Forces game, how nice it would be to have that in the background as my Star Destroyers move into orbit over a rebel world.... Having said that, I seem to recall someone saying they have Metallica's Imperial March playing when they launch the game...I wonder who, and would they care to reveal how?

..all right clever clogs...goldenrod to the rest of us!

A fetish? Good lord no! I actually voted for the guy, twice. I just think the similarities between him and everybody's favourite protocol-droid are just to obvious to be ignored! Next time you watch the news, have a long hard look at the guy and his movements...and impose on the images you see C3-P0....it's scarry!

...emmm...personally I agree with that. However, I couldn't help but notice something between 700,000 to 1,000,000 people march through London for: http://www.iol.ie/~thedeans/b3ta/widerstreets.jpg

...emmm...well, thinking about it, I don't think there's to much difference between C3-PO and the British Prime-Minister, Tony Blair. Think about it, both are animated in the same way, both speak with the same exceptionally annoying linguistic tones, and both are fluent in at least six-million dialects of bullshit! Good lord, what have I stumbled onto? I've just sussed-out Episode Three! Forget about Christopher Lee; the new nemesis in Ep.III is going to be Tony Blair; the newly proclaimed Emperor's public spokesman! Forget about James Earl Jones voicing Darth Vader; he can play Colin Powel!

Ahh! So you've figured out the lunacy.... Pixelmasher just sent me this; Boba Ferrett-he'll get down your trousers eventually! http://members.rogers.com/oakhousedesign/b3ta/bobaferretlg.jpg

...Jahled's head landed with a clumsy thud on his keyboard. Yes, Jahled finaly realized, evan as some one from Great Britian, that talking about Canadians was seriously damaging to one's mental health. He fumbled anxiously in the direction of a can of lager....

I think we've got our man here. Impressive CV, despite the fact it's all completely meaningless to me; the language sounds good. JediIgor, you listening! We got ourselves a dude signing-up here! Don't let this one pass, in one post Smonica has made the most sensible post contributed by any of us low-lifes for months. Show him where to sign...

Mainly a rarely cool site where, I guess, alot of graffic designers waste their time. Pixelmasher is a frequent contributor. You get a heck of a lot of Star Wars related stuff. Anyway, here's the link: http://www.b3ta.com

Yet more wierdness from the web: http://www.koit.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ped10.gif http://www.nomoralfibre.co.uk/images/b3ta/woof.gif ..oops! and I just found all of these: http://www.koit.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ped.htm

God, I sounded like an miserable old fart! Anyway, i've just been reading the Guardian newspaper and stumbled acroos the following: Forced Out-No place for Jedi in survey Most disgruntled, Jedi were, yesterday, when they learned they are not recognised as a religious group despite outnumbering Sikhs, Jews and Buddhists on the census forms. In a move Star Wars fans described as 'almost religious persecution,' officialssaid they had counted the 390,000 people who identified themselves as Jedi among the 7.7m who said they had no religion. Jedi make up 0.7% of the population, while Christians number 42m (72%) and Muslims 1.6m (3%). But those who have chosen the faith, portrayed in the George Lucas Films, outnumber the 329,000 Sikhs, 260,000 Jews and 144,000 Buddhists who filled in forms. Officials blamed the large numbers on an email which suggested wrongly, that Jedi would be officially recognised as a religion if more than 10,000 people cited it. 'I think it was not a particularly serious answer,' said Len Cook, register general for England and Wales. But Andy New, of the UK's official Star Wars fan club, said 'People should be allowed to classify themselves how they want.' Asked if he was not being presumptuous in deciding what was not a religion, Mr Cook said that, like Yoda,left, he acyed 'with immense consultation and remarkable concentration.' -Tania Branigan The Guardian Friday February 14 2003. ...WE'RE NOT ALONE!!!

It's actually turning me off this site. There's plenty of Star Wars sites to choose from.

C3-P0 was built by a nine year old....

Indeed...i've just downloaded the ultimate WAVE file of Darth Vader breathing, but I can't seem to set up a working link. Damn! it's actually quite scarry...god damn it! Rant...rage...spluter...some one tell me how to 'host' this Wave-file so I can post the url link from my MSN-site! You guys will feel spooked as well if you heard this...breathing...alone...

Dude, I got you wrong! If you're man enough to apologize you're grown-up enough to be considered one of the guys. I'm sure dear old Pucho will except your post... Any thoughts on his original post?

Oh come on! Do you reckon a cat could come up with a concept such as the question mark? I think you over estimate the stupid cat.
