DT is definitely one of us. I think the illustrious Mr. Poe might know himMaster of Ossus wrote: BTW, is Darth Talas one of us? What about "Fortuna Cookie?"
I'm Darth Talas. I moved the debate to a dedicated forum for the book from the VIP section, because "Valiento" was blatantly trying to inflame VIP opinion against the book. It looks like it was still too heated for the Mods, though.Master of Ossus wrote:Looks like SW.com doesn't like people talking about Endor, though. I guess they don't want people to be shown that they're wrong.

The comment on Endor's fate is not really all that specific in the book. Its ambiguity leaves alot of openings for the Anti-Holocaust crowd to wiggle in. In fact, the total absencec of any mention of global-scale destrtuction could be arggued as proof it didn't occur, and that any hazardous debris heading towards the moon was taken care of by the Rebels.
However, it indicates clearly that the debris existed and was a serious problem. It precludes the use of planetary shielding by either the Alliance or the Empire (since the Rebels wouldn't have bothered screening the correct area if they had a planetary shield ready to go). It correctly points out that the Alliance fleet didn't even know about the Ewoks, and was concerned only with extracting their commando team. It resolves any lingering difficulties with fitting the Holocaust-scenario into the film itself by explaining how the Alliance could've been partying later (nuclear winter effect hadn't set in, yet). Frankly, it strikes me as destroying the fan-whore position for these things.
Seems like it. I'm actually pretty tired of their whole "don't talk about anything meaningful. Let's find out what everyone's favorite color lightsaber is" routine.Lord Poe wrote: I'm Darth Talas.

Weird. Wonder what happened to him.I'm trying to placate JTS the mod right now, since for some reason he's been uncharacteristically neutral to me as of late.
So, Fortuna Cookie isn't one of us, then. Hmmm... cool.It looks like whoever "Fortuna Cookie" is has picked up on this as well.
I understand with the watts and joules, but with a shield rating so high wouldnt the TL batteries have to be a lot higher then the 1-2 TT normal stated for the heavys on and ISD, unless the time the energy was delivered from the TL bolt to the shield was increased dramatically.Connor MacLeod wrote: First off, watts and joules aren't the same thing regarding shields. Secondly, they did have those "ram ships" they used on Star Destroyers at the battle of Endor. I could see them having plowed a few of those into the Executor.
Lets hope coming sources use the right picture when they describe the AT-AR. Otherwise i´ll expect new desaster.Tribun wrote:Saxton had updated his site to explain, what the mysterious AT-AR is, that was mentioned in the book.

The posters with blue names are Mods. The posters with green names are VIPs, such as LFL employees, the posters with red names are regular folk who have signed up for Hyperspace.His Divine Shadow wrote:Can you tell me who is who?

Classic Star Wars #1. Drawn by Al Williamson. I have them all.Vympel wrote:Hey, I actually have the comic where the AT-AR appeared. I can't even remember how I got it. It's the Ord Mantell bounty hunter issue. The Falcon destroys it.

Has this sentence been altered since the original entry? Does Saxton know something we don´t?Bipedal assault walker designed for The Empire Strikes Back but left unfilmed (at least for now).
Pablo Hidalgo goes under the name Pabawan and Leland Chee (keeper of the Holocron) is Tasty Taste.His Divine Shadow wrote:Actually I was wondering which names like pablo hidalgo and such go under.Lord Poe wrote:The posters with blue names are Mods.

Didn´t it also say, that there were AT-PTs present?Icehawk wrote:Yeah, the new Inside the Worlds points to walkers that look more like AT-PT's than the pics on Saxtons site.
Nope, only AT-AR's and AT-ST's are noted as present in the Mos Eisley overview. The walker which is pointed out to be an AT-AR clearly has two main guns and looks similar too the design of an AT-PT.FTeik wrote:Didn´t it also say, that there were AT-PTs present?Icehawk wrote:Yeah, the new Inside the Worlds points to walkers that look more like AT-PT's than the pics on Saxtons site.

Same.
