My edition (Del Rey Trade paperback) has the maps of the Orinda-campagin on page 212. Do you mean the picture titled New Republic Heroes? You're right, it's page 200 in the actual book. It's page 212 of... something else. (Hey, I legally bought a paper copy too. Don't judge me. :P ) That Nebula cla...

I think the key points to be taken here are that wookiepedia is a) not canon, and b) often wrong. Gotta step in here as a Wookieepedia admin and say that we do the best we can with what we're given. I've always found EU minimalism annoying and illogical, but we're pretty much stuck with it. That be...

Hey, it fixed the length of the Falcon too. That's been too small for years, right up to the latest edition of the Cross-Sections. And gave us more info on the Midi-chlorians (including a picture of one).

The Sunstar eats gamma radiation and the Season Scepter has a "fix nuclear winter" setting. Problem solved.

You're going to hell for that, you know. If nothing else, just for that. It's that evil.

Yet, according to Wookiepedia's blurb on this guy, he's supposedly one of the most powerful EVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Let me tell you a little secret about Wookieepedia. Unless an article is featured (has a little blue star in the corner), you should probably not quote it. Anyone can edit a wiki, and ...

Uh, sure there is. There is basically completely bupkis between the Rogue Squadron comics and the beginning of the Rogue Squadron novels, except for Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight (and its attendant sources like the DF novellas) and for what it is worth, The Glove of Darth Vader /"Jedi Prince"...

LOL Oops. I think that is the screen name of a Wiki contributor.

Wait, what did I do now?

Ok, first I get banned for a week by Graestan for being snidy towards a dumbshit "Inquisitor" and then defending myself, One, "snidy" isn't a word. Two, your first edit after being told to stop insulting people was to insult someone. I also notice from Graestan's posting history...

I never did get the Galaxy Gun. For better or worse, SW hyperspace "rules" make it virtually impossible to get from point A to point B in a straight line, especially when either point is somewhere in the Core. So the projectiles need to be able to navigate. And if they have their own hyper...

Even if you don't get the free stuff, everyone here should still fill out the survey. One of the questions is "where do you get most of your SW info?" I answered "other" and filled in SD.net. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Can't do. Personal bias. :P On the other hand...

1. All authors will be required to take a test in basic physics and mathematics and watch at least one documentary about D-Day before inventing any hard numbers about anything military. 2. Ancillary characters will die regularly. With a few notable exceptions, no pilot or commando will appear in mor...

The films look nice in 1080i, but HD is a lot less forgiving on special effects than SD. That might be part of the reason they're hesitating. But since they've been broadcasting them in HD on HBO and Cinemax in the US and Sky in the UK for months now, some people already have a copy of the trilogy i...

Why even bother talking about the Vong?

Meat-ships and puke-guns can't beat a 25,000-year-old technological civilization. Period.

They deliberately threw realism out the window to favor their biowank, so anything we discuss that's based in reality is obliterated by handwavium and unobtanium.

The first picture just calls them "CEC high output sublight engines" whereas the second picture calls them "Girodyne blah blah blah engines" ... couldn't Girodyne be a brand name owned by the Corellian Engineering Corporation? I mean, one person could point to a car on the stree...

I think he means in-universe info. What it was doing in Mos Eisley at the time. There's a little restaurant in Mos Eisley that serves the best Coronet-style deep-dish pizza in the quadrant. :wink: What I'm wondering is how much the vaunted Holocron and/or their "extensive research" is goi...

True Colors. What an ironic title from an author who went ballistic when people exposed hers.

Apparently, Dr. Saxton is the problem... :roll: Well, duh . :roll: Sarli apparently follows the Karen Traviss rules of debating: 1. Attack the speaker, not the issue. 2. If the universe disagrees with something I have said, the universe is wrong. 3. If you're smarter than me, too bad. I write canon...

Which would be a powerful psych warfare tool.

Revenge of the Sith (novelization) expands on this a bit. Obi-wan is, basicallly, a luddite; he's not a huge fan of high technology, especially the kind that seems to think for itself. We also saw some of this in Episode II, with his "if droids could think" remark, which he said to the gu...

Other species might not be so audio orientated. That would get a lot of concern from corporate penny pinchers trying to standardize everything to the nth degree. Unless said corperations easily provide different options for different species with different sensory percpetions to broaden their marke...

What does everyone think of the concept of 'Uglies', fighter ships made fom pieces of other ships. One of the dumbest ideas in SW. The amount of engineering that would realistically required to build a ship in the first place is staggering. The idea of taking radically different parts and welding t...

Noted this on the wookiepedia article's talk page, hopefully the 3 mill debate will vanish completely after this. :shock: Heh. Heheheh... HA! HAHAHA!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! :lol: Sorry. That was just... too funny. No amount of evidence will ever end this debate. Certain people will cling to their tiny n...

Man, that was beautiful. Especially this part: What little chance of peace that existed between Traviss and her critics vanished with the appearance of this post. This is the source of the now infamous quote "My gut reaction is that they all need garroting, but my rational self finds it all... ...

This kind of "vote farming" isn't actually allowed. Unless you've actively contributed to Wookieepedia in the past, your vote will probably be removed. This is not unique to this debate, it's one of our few relatively-consistent policies, and it happens to be one I agree with.
