Yay, just what I need: more DC area traffic problems. Right near me in Montgomery County, they're putting an 'Inter-County Connector' road that is also expected to fuck traffic up even more. Anyways, I can see both sides to the Tyson's argument, but I'm pretty inclined to say that the construction w...

We don't know how many holocrons Krayt gathered over the decades. Either we'll see him with Revan's holocron, or it might be off-limits due to its influence on the previous order, who's ideology he despises. Darth Revan's holocron was almost dead by the time Bane found it (it's crystal was faulty)....

Lets assume that the Democrats do manage to impeach Cheney (lets also assume the devil takes up snowboarding). Who would replace Cheney?

I can't wait for some conspiracy-theorist to start a 'grassy knol' article...

I wonder what will happen to the people who purposely vandalize an article...

Luceno and Brian Daley are the top two for me, followed by Zahn.

False, sir. MACE WINDU: You're a Sith Lord! PALPATINE: Am I? Even if true, that's hardly a crime. My philosophical outlook is a personal matter. In fact -- the last time I read the Constitution, anyway -- we have very strict laws against this type of persecution. So I ask you again: what is my alle...

"Darth Bane: Path of Destruction" explicitly states that the Sith Order is an illegal organization. The Jedi Order's tolerance of vaguely Sithist cults is irrelevant, as they are not strictly part of the Sith Order. The Order itself is illegal, thus the claims that the religious leanings ...

You guys are all way off. The Jedi Prince series authors, Paul and Hollace Davids, are by far the worst the EU has ever seen.

In the Republic: Bloodlines storyline, it is revealed that two Jedi had approached Palpatine with a plan to identify Sidious: simple midi-chlorian tests from all the Senators and senior government officials. Sidious, in his role as Palpatine, arranged for the deaths of those Jedi before they could t...

They had no legal authority to arrest him as a "pawn of the Sith." Furthermore, the Council had no actual evidence whatsoever that this "Sidious" character they knew scant knowledge about was in fact a Sith. How many characters named Darth are not Sith??? Anyways, the Council di...

Reading the Episode III novelization, it says that the Jedi Council had decided that they would ask Palpatine to return his powers to the Senate once General Greivous had been eliminated, and that they would arrest him as a pawn of the Sith if he did not. In fact, Obi-Wan had told Anakin earlier tha...

The two Imperial Dignitaries in the throne room in Return of the Jedi. They just fucking stand there, staring at Vader and Palps, nodding to nobody in particular, looking useless and saying nothing, and then Palpatine turns to them right as Vader leaves. WTF are they there for??? Oh and they, uh, lo...

Here's what I thought the most interesting tidbit from TEG2TF was written (in universe) by Luke Skywalker about Palpatine (emphasis is mine): ....And for six years, I believed, as everyone else did, that Palpatine was dead. Only last year did I learn the truth: Palpatine had not been consumed by a b...

Detaching all his cavalry wasn't very bright and there is some doubt as to whether he received a severe blow to his head or was just roaring drunk. What seems to have happened though is that he lost control of his troops and that's always pretty damning. To quote Saint Curtis war has "have nei...

Hope this helps: Things to check for check amount of system RAM (1gb should be a minimum) check the amount of RAM being used (it is a good idea to always have at least 10-30% of your memory available at any one time) check what processes are running with either Task Manager or Process Explorer check...

Just FYI, that's not a new power, the Emperor's Hands also benefitted from this power.

Thats true. I do wonder how much of an edge this could give the Royal Guards against droids, even ones as advanced as the Magna Guards (especially if Palps threw some Battle Meditation into the mix)...

What kind of bugs? I mean, ingame strange behaviour or engine crashes? Because the demo runs flawlessly for me. Extremely thorough list of issues with UT3 from the Epic Games forums: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=581058 personally, I have not experienced too many problems so far (t...

On the other hand, Hooker's performance as commander of the Army of the Potomac was deplorable yet he proved a quite competent commander when moved out West. I always thought that part of the reason Hooker lost the Battle of Chancellorsville was because he had sent away almost all his cavalry and b...

Anyone know if all the bugs will delay the console versions?

On a related topic, does anyone know if in the New Essential Chronology or any other source for that matter, that sleeper ships were sublight or is that something that is being assumed? According to the New Essential Chronology, the first sleeper ships were 'suspended animation vessels that took ce...

This is interesting: Apparently, several units of Royal Guardsmen were organized into fighter wings, and even given specialized 'Royal Guard TIE Interceptors'. It's so amusing to read that they 'rival even Rogue Squadron as one of the most effective fighter wings in the galaxy' and that 'their true ...

Imperial Adviser/Dignitary Janus Greejatus has just been given an official canon background. Interestingly, nothing is mentioned of his supposed Force-sensitivity and to whether or not he actually died on the Death Star II at Endor (it simply says he was believed to have). Discuss! Official Databank...

The worst part of Dark Empire? Vima Da-Boda. A 200 year old midget woman from the Nar Shaddaa slums who used to be a Jedi and can only speak in the third person.

The Dark Empire comics are pretty good if you ask me, just make sure you avoid listening to the audio-drama CD's of them. They sound incredibly stupid and lame (to say nothing of the fact that the characters sound completely different than they do in the films).
