What's going on? Are they soundtesting or what? Seems a little weird doing that when the show starts.

That's because his real reason for turning was personal, like wanting to be a powerful jedi, his lack of emotional maturity, etc. Him going to the darkside to save Padme's life was almost his personal rationalization, when in reality it was the things I had mentioned. ←

Could someone link me to/give me a list of the books that involve the Yuuzhan Vong storyline in chronological order? I want to get round to buying them, but Amazon doesn't help me in this respect. By the way, how is Yuuzhan Vong pronounced? Oh, and is NJO a good place to start seriously venturing into the EU, or should I have another starting point?

This makes sense to me. With Palpatine being in power, I can't imagine he'd enjoy seeing a GENUINE Seperatist force, with clones of their own, rise to take him on. I imagine that the Kaminoans (the cloners) would have either been killed or went into exile after finding out the extent of Palpatine's deception. We know that Palpatine keeps at least one of the Cloning facilities in one peice in his personal storhouse on Wayland. By the time of ANH most of the origional 'Stormtrooper' Clones (from ROTS) would be 20 years older anyway (barring genetic tampering to keep them young). I imagine that the Empire would have to recruit (or Conscript) many other soldiers to replace the clones, or just to police the ever expanding Empire. ←

I'm not a big techno fan, but I think this qualifies. "Seventeen" by Ladytron is a great song.

All day I've had "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen in my head. Good song, but it's driving me mad. Speaking of Queen, everytime someone says pressure I can't help but hum "Under Pressure". Does this make me weird?

I'd say that a large percentage of the acts are only in it for the publicity. It looks good on a resume, wouldn't you say?

What was with that kid's voice? He sounded like Del Boy with that ridiculous cockney accent.

Obi-Wan didn't know where Yoda was until after his death, at least that's what I assume. Kenobi would have spoken with Yoda much like Qui-Gon would have with him. Didn't the original script have a scene of Obi-Wan communing with Qui-Gon?

Is it just me, or does it seem to be that Lucas got the structure and idea of the Empire from Nazi Germany? With Palpatine becoming Chancellor (like Hitler in 1933), being given extra powers with an enabling act (again Hitler in '34), building an army (Hitler started rearmament), and declaring himself "Emperor" (like "Fuhrer"), it all seems to tie together nicely. Is there any substance to my thoughts, or am I talking bullshit? EDIT: Oh, and I just found this. Best thing ever...well best Star Wars lego thing ever Click this

Would you need to have read the comics to understand the story, or is it fairly accessible to newbies?

Judas Priest is more metal than 90% of today's "metal" bands. And AC/DC's your favorite band? I'm sorry. ←

My granny and grandpa are moving house, and are clearing out all the old shit they don't want/don't have room for. Today they presented me with a box full of Reader's Digest hardback novel collections. I was just wondering, does Reader's Digest contain the whole book, or is it "edited" (i.e. made shitter)?

Rock, easily. 70s and 80s are my favourites. There's not a lot of modern bands that I actually have much of an interest in.

What part did Jar Jar actually play?

I think it's the one where Billy Connolly voiced the dog, isn't it? A Jack Russell? I'll try and find it now . EDIT: It's Paws, I think.

Ha ha! Come on the Blues!!!!!!!!! I can now sleep soundly in my bed tonight, knowing the Gers have won the title. I could probably kiss the Motherwell team right about now. And maybe a few fans too. That means you Kraig

It hurt my ears . Seriously though, it did provoke a smile. Which is an achievement in itself .

I have to admit that I was largely indifferent to him for a long time. He was great in POTC though, stole every scene he was in. But then I saw Donnie Brasco, which is, imo, an amazing film. Depp acted so well with Pacino, and that one film convinced me that he truly is a great actor. Anyone that can keep up with Al must be doing something right.
