I don't know, there was a fairly big time jump between the first and second halves of the cartoon series. There's plenty of stories to be told there. As for Asajj Ventress, she merely fell into a deep chasm. Any sci-fi fan should know that couldn't possibly be the end of an antagonist!

If a river of lava couldn't do the trick, what makes that chasm think it could do any better eh?
I've got high hopes for the new game "The Force Unleashed" I'm hoping they don't pull a Force Commander type clusterfuck.

To be bad The Force Unleashed won't be making it to the PC, at least not yet. There will be one for the PSP, but so far most of the Star Wars games on that handheld haven't been that great.

Yes I miss the days of blowing up rebel starfighters. That's right, I said rebel. TIE fighter was, is, and always will be the best Star Wars space sim ever.

I don't know, I kind of liked X-Wing Alliance best. Maybe because it had more of a story, perhaps it was the ability to lock the camera onto a target from inside the cockpit, either I remember really enjoying that one. The only thing that let it down was the irritating Battle of Endor mission at the end. I can't remember if the family story was actually resolved or not or if it was cut short with the Death Star II mission.

Yeah, I can't remember either. It's been quite a while since I've played Alliance. I remember the ship models being particularly poor. But there's a group of people making some high quality replacements. Not sure how far along they've come since the last time I've checked, but they had about 75% of all the models redone. And they really looked damn nice.

Well, Celebration started the Wednesday before with a marathon of all six films. Thursday was a Fan-Club-only day. The general convention started on Friday, with a big opening ceremonies event that evening. They served birthday cake to almost six thousand people.
They would have served more, as the hall wasnt full yet, but there was a bomb scare and the rest of the L.A. convention center was evacuated across the street whilst the bomb squad was called. This all took place over the course of about forty-five minutes. Jen was working crowd control in the lobby outside the hall this was taking place in, and I was holding our spot in line outside. I was within fifty feet of the front doors when they stopped letting people in, and there were still about three thousand people behind me. Plus, anyone who left the hall to go to the bathroom got evac'ed, no matter who they were. There were a lot of pissed off people, let me tell you.
No one inside was told a thing. They carried on as planned, so as to not cause a panic.
What caused the problem? There was a Hummer parked in the wrong place for too long. For that we missed the fucking party.

Oh, and it is resolved, as your dad and Galen are dead, with the Uncle of Doom escaping in his Shippo of Speed.
Oh, and funny story here.
I and my brothers once played it cooperatively, with one of us opertaing one of the control areas, we blowed up the Star Destroyer Anton or whatever sent for real good, then when the mission called for us to go to another system, who should appear but the self-same Star Destroyer we blew up!
A line of dialogue we made up:
Us:"Hey, didn't we kill you guys?" Them:"Yes, it was very uncomfortable."
