In the movies, the force is Black and White, good vs. evil however in EU the force is a friggen rainbow of colors (just ask the biotch Vergere...I hate that character with a passion) so, because they have lost their belief in the force, and are trying to spin the force around their personnal belief...

My problem with the slugs and lizards is that they are rediculous. I think that they would be something that Palpatine and Vader would have used the death star against because they would have been a threat to them. However, If they wernt a threat, then that begs the question 'why not?', maybe becaus...

I believe the best bet for them to win would be an assassination ..for those of you who have beat the RoTS game on the alternate ending, you know what im talking about.

Basically, Anakin catches Palp by suprise and shoves a lightsaber thru his chest.

My opinion-Hayden...meh..didnt like him must though he pulled thru in RoTS. Portman-could have done better...like actually getting involved with the role than just acting it. ...I never saw Windu die, so for all we know that 'BMF' is still around somewere...and for those who say the fall could have,...

The rear arc cannon: reason for that, is that when an opponent is on your 'six, they are extremely dangerous, by haveing even a minor weapon that fires back there, it can throw off the other fighter pilot..either by distraction or downing them. Typically, fighters are not known for being able to fir...

I think that other than just being an exceptional saber expert, that Windu's main edge was his ability to see the 'shatterpoints', he naturally saw others weaknesses, and well that makes for a dramatic advantage

My favorites, dispite what you all think, is the Xwing series: both by Alston and Stackpole. The main reason being because they dont screw around with the force that much rather more of a military mindset...i think anyways

The one i absolutely hated (other than any with the Vong in them) was Traitor

And before you say that the Fed's have a universal translator, consider this, it only has about 250 languages in it. the SW universe has millions. I wish i had the screen shots, but in both Rebel and Empire ships you can clearly see that they use a written language totally different than English. So...

Reasons the Feds would loose: 1.) Even with the 5 ISD's they would rely on 'tried and true' tactics that they have experienced, this is evident in all military operations example: before world war 2 everyone thought that the battleship would win naval wars. It was until the US was forced to learn ca...

Therefore, when the first reports come in that this phenomina has opened (escpecially if its close to core worlds) they would deploy a large force, possiblly several sector forces at the least to ensure that if there is a battle there will be a sufficient force to defeat all unknowns.

Alright, assumeing the Empire has a week at most to respond to a wormhole (a phenomina they have never seen before). Stratigically it would make good sense to deploy a large enough force to guard the wormhole, while smaller ships explore the other side. One ship comeing back with some data about som...
