   I think it is a bit less obvious. A friend of mine mentioned this to me
once.  Remember the PLANTS? Heh. The plants on Coruscant, in the halls. The
pretty plants that change color when you get close to them, or speak in certain
tones around them. Could it be? Sounds feasible that these plants are some
alien life form under Thrawns sway, and they are Delta Source. (With Winter
there for everyone to think: Oh it HAS to be her!! It just HAS to be!. I
like to give an author more credit than that...)

I hope not! 

Science fiction has come to mean a lot of things, and now covers a lot of
fields. I break them up (movies and TV shows) into science fiction and
space opera, although one probably is the same as the other. My reference
is that at least one foot is on reality. TDTESS was science fiction, to me,
because it related events logically as far as Earth's governments were
concerned. STAR WARS I consider space opera mostly because what was done
in the movie isn't consistent with science as we know it or can postulate it.
(grand sounding, that, isn't it? :-) ) However, the determination is mine, so
it likely won't fit in with many others.

Now we'll probably start a whole debate on this thing. Oh well.

	Yes, you missed something.  No, Battlestar Galactica did not come
out first.  _Star Wars_ was released on May 25, 1977.
Battlestar Galactica was first shown in late 1978.  In fact, Lucas
sued Universal television, charging that BG was a ripoff of Star 
Wars.  Lucas was personally perturbed that John Dykstra, the
man in charge of the special effects for Star Wars, jumped ship
to work on BG.

 I'm not sure exactly when the new series will be starting, but
 once again it will be written by Tom Veitch and illustrated by Cam Kennedy.
 I'm assuming it will pick up the Dark Empire storyline right where it left
 off.

Subject: More Mara Mayhem Mind you
Date: 11 Nov 92 17:55:00 GMT
Organization: Concordia University
News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41


     Here I go again... Recent discussions concerning who Mara Jade could've
 been (had Zahn had a bunch of net readers to help him write his novels)
have fired up concepts such as: 

 1) she might have been Boba Fett (I'M GUILTY OF THIS ONE)
 2) the Emperor's daughter
 3) Arnold from "Different Strokes" 
 4) All of the above 

Anyways... Always one to enjoy a good simmer in the FLAMES OF THE INFIDEL LEGION
I will put forth another, hopefully final theory...

SHE COULD BE A CLONE(of a clone...)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take one young, sexy corrupt jedi 
Add one horny young senator (at the time of the clone wars)
Clone said sexy jedi
Perhaps the darkside doesn't corrupt her body like it did Palpatine's
(according to Dark Horse's Dark Empire), and she stays young and she and Palpy
have a wild fling before he turns into a wrinkled prune-eater. 
Then, she dies...her clone activated, and Palps, now unable to perform
(there are limits to how much the force can boost physical performance) trains
her in the Force, makes her part of his wannabe Jedi task force, and clones
her again whenever she bites it. He would do this because he still 'cares'
for her (Read: she's still useful to him, plus she gives good, nah scratch that)
This could explain why she's young and the Emperor is old.

This theory, my last on the subject (YOU MAY NOW SIGH IN RELIEF) supports
all the above mentioned secret identities (X-cept for her being Palp's
daughter; if you cling to that notion, ignore all mentions of her having 
an affair with Palpatine (wouldn't want incest to be an issue would we??!!)
ITS ALSO PURE FICTION, DERIVED FROM MY OWN TWISTED PSYCHE, AND SHOULD NOT
BE CONSIDERED SERIOUSLY (well not TOO seriously anyways)

Please don't flame me!! I'll be a good boy, I'll shut up on the subject
(besides I've got a whole bunch of SW musical parodies I can work with...)

But had Luke gone back to Dagobah at that point?  So the audience didn't
know who the "other" was at that point and perhaps they stuck that scene
in just like that so the audience would wonder (incorrectly) if Han was,
in fact, the "other" that Yoda spoke of in TESB?

I seem to remember that Yavin was a gas giant. I don't know whether there
is any official dource for this impression, but if you think about it, the
rebel base was located on a pretty terrestrial looking world. Since it was a 
MOON of Yavin, that means that Yavin must be pretty damn big -- perhaps
comparable to Jupiter.

Since the Empire probably designed the Death Star with the purpose of blowing
up Earth-type worlds (ie Alderaan) it seems reasonable to suppose that
the Empire's ultimate battle station just wasn't up to the job of blasting
Yavin to little bits.

It's amazing that you brought this up.  My roommate was digging through his
junk a week ago and happened to find the sticker album you're talking about
and he gave it to me. All 12 of my puzzles are on one big poster, though.
It's called "ESB: Scenes to Remember".  On the back, there are two pictures:
one of the falcon dodging asteroids and tie fighters, and the other is of 
a star-cruiser.  On the back is a scene from the ATAT attack, along with the
12 puzzles.  It's pretty cool-- anyone else have one that's different?

	Sorry, but you are wrong.  Check the credits.  John Ratzenburger (sp?),
the guy who plays Cliff on Cheers is in EMPIRE as the rebel leader described

		This will explain exactly how a lightsaber will work.

		A Lightsaber is powered by a power cell, however the energy usage is so
low that it rarely ever needs to be recharged.

		A Lightsaber in combat can be stopped by no other object but another
lightsaber blade.  So it can cut through anything.  However a Jedi through
the force can decrease the strength of the blade.  (Or increase the rate by
which it causes damage.

		Anyone can use a lightsaber, however only a Jedi can use it to deflect
and redirect blaster bolts.  The Lightsaber interacts with the force and a
Jedi can control this force allowing the Jedi to do many incredible things
with it.  It is possible for a Jedi to shoot someone's blaster bolts right
back at the person using the Lightsaber.  However a non-jedi wouldn't have
a hope of even trying.

	I also have a few memories of the show too.  I remember some
stormtroopers going into a wookie house (in the trees?) and looking
for something.  I specifically remember them tearing the head off a
young wookie's stuffed toy... Does anyone know if copies of this exist
on VHS?
