I know it will be out in time for X-mas for IBM's. LucasGames (did I

    This would be a(n) HORRIBLE mistake on Lucas's part. Part of what made the
original trilogy so incredible was that we were seeing people and places comp-
letely new and undiscovered. It would just totally destroy the Star Wars fantasy
if we saw MACAULEY CULKIN(!) play Luke. If you ask me, Lucas would be digging
his own grave.

 Does anyone know when Dark horse plans on shipping DARK EMPIRE #6?
According to the backs of other DH Comics, it was to be shipped on Oct 20,
of course that same list had Classic SW #3 coming out in Oct as well.

In regards to the Kenneth Flint novel, I got the following info from the
original poster of the Flint novel info.  She says she got her  info from
Kent Anderson who is currently writing the next trilogy of Star Wars books due
 out in 1994. According to her,the Flint book will come out between the 
last Zahn novel and his first novel (early '94)

	Try this one on for size: Yoda and the Emperor were once brothers a long
time ago. They both became Jedis, however, the Emperor somehow wanted more pow-
er, thus becoming an agent of evil. Somewhere along the line, Yoda fell into a
big vat of toxic waste, turning him into some kind of frog-like creature. Feel-
ing totally ashamed of his appearence( and knowing deep down he'd never get "the
babes") he banished himself to the remote planet of Dagobah to train Jedi full-
time. 

	Anyone wish to comment?

i may be way off here, but from what i remember when i last saw

Actually, the US Navy and US Air Force both still use C-130's.  There just
isn't a jet that can fly that slow, low, and take as many hits from artillery
in use.

	One of you mentioned the Captain Antilles/Captain Colton thing in 
the first movie.  In the novelization, the captain of the blockade runner 
is called Captain Colton.  In the movie he's Captain Antilles.  This 
doesn't mean he IS Wedge or that's he's in anyway related to Wedge.  In 
GALAXY GUIDE I:  A New Hope for SW: The RPG, it says Wedge was an orphan 
after his parents' refueling station was destroyed by a pirate freighter on 
the run from authorities.  So then again, Captain Antilles COULD be related

Probably not. a) Luke says "...not unless you can alter time, speed up the
harvest, or teleport me off this rock." Most people would probably agree that
Luke was being sarcastic. Threepio taking him seriously is meant to be funny.
b) If such technology existed, it would greatly alter the SW universe...why
would people use shuttles all the time? You'd think the technology would be
important somewhere, but nothing like it is ever shown to us.

 I don't know if this is a good idea or anything, but I can make copies
of this show for the first few number of people that respond.  Since 
shipping is $3 and the cheapest tape is $3 I think that $12 is a reasonable
price. Seeing that I have to make the time and cover the wear and tear on
my VCR's.   A better quality tape will cost more so keep that in mind.

Ok, I give this one a try...

C-3PO did not know if they could trust Luke with all that information, yet,
so he decided to "wait and see" and talk to kenobi first.....

Is it the scene outside the Jawa Sandcrawler?  I seem to remember seeing

I get the impression that Luke and friends became huge celebrities after
the Battle of Yavin--not just among the Rebellion, but throughout the
Galaxy as well.  Luke, brash youth that he was, probably bragged a lot
himself, maybe even mentioning that he was trained by the Jedi Master
Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Moreover, a lot of time passes between the first two
films, leaving plenty of opportunities for Luke to expand his notoriety
even further.

That's the only time is any of the movies where the stormtroopers show
the extreme efficiency which they are supposed to have.  From that point
on, they all went down hill.  In that case I really do think it was the
ability of the stormtroopers as opposed to inability of the rebels.
