Triumf of the Wil!
Also: I am now cynic-sensing body snatcher.
*points at Sol* "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

I must get KOTOR1 posthaste, forthwith and tout suite. Which class is the best? Which is bloody awful?
Hold on, I'll get separate thread for this.

The classes don't really matter, because you'll want to end up as a Jedi, and you'll have access to all nine of your crew members (fighters, rogues and droids and whatnot) at any time, so you can pick and choose based on mission objective.

Originally, Episode 6 was to be named "Revenge of the Jedi" in 1983, but it was changed in the end because revenge isn't a favorable trait in Jedi, so it became "Return".

Story goes - as I've read it: Star Trek II: "The Revenge of Kahn" was the original TWOK name... conflict arose "Revenge of the Jedi" changed to "Return of the Jedi", "Wrath of Kahn" used instead, anyway.

This was a useful way in smoking out pirated merchandise, as well.

So that 'Revenge of the Sith' t-shirt that starwars.com are selling "in commemoration" of the limited release of the "Revenge of the Jedi" style t-shirts in, like 1983 - is really based on pirted merchandise?

Lucas is full of faeces. The only smoke around was the smoke being blown up his arse. [Smile]

Actually it was because The Wrath of Khan was originally titled 'The Vengeance of Khan' when Episode VI was still 'Revenge of the Jedi' and they both ended up changing to avoid confusion with the other.

Yes, Lucas totally and purposely named those fluffy furry fucks after the abbreviation of the title of a competing SF movie. Totally.

BECAUSE HE IS A SPITEFUL MAN.

Hey! Those phloughy smurfs are what enabled ordinary people like you and me to go on and blow the core and, subsequently, win the game.
Their tribe also served as morale strengthener after the rebels expanded their presence in the sector, like Saigon.
