I haven't read Lucas' novelization in years, but I think he expressed surprise at the very idea of Biggs joining the Rebellion. Largely out of lethargy and political indifference, I'd guess, than loyalty to the Empire. Luke is from a frontier world which isn't troubled too much by the important affairs of the Galaxy, after all. . .<P>------------------<BR>"I am greater than the stars for I know that they are up there and they do not know that I am down here." - William Temple <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
