Write your reply.

assistant: As of Jedi, yes, I do not believe a droid could control the Force, only
because Luke is the last person to be able to control the Force in the
galaxy (with the single exception of Leia).  But int he past I don't see
why not.  Droids in Star Wars are indeed different from other
movies/shows.  It is obvious by the movies that droids are self-aware,
can feel pain, basically they are everything a flesh and blood creature
is but just made differently, nothing more.  Sure, they can have their
memories wiped, but so could a living person (I'm sure Luke could do it,
or something akin to a mind wipe in Babylon 5).
The point of a droid controlling the force is sensless though really,
the question was can they be controlled by it.  And I think we agree, of
course they can.

assistant: No, the Force surrounds EVERYTHING.  There is nothing that the Force
does not surround and flow through (and please don't say those stupid
creatures (ysalmari(sp) from the Zahn books).  And in the Star Wars
universe the droids are considered "living," at least I found that
fairly obvious by watching them.

seems to be new to you, I understand your need for references. I'm not

Guide to Characters' by Andy Mangels. And here's what it says on Owen
Lars' CCG card, "Guardian of Luke Skywalker. Husband of Beru Lars.
Brother of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Farmer of moisture. Disapprover of Luke's
desire to leave Tatooine."
    And there may also have been references to this in one of the
novelizations of the movies. It's been years since I've read them, so
I'm not sure of that.

Hello friends,

CREED about FOREST MOON OF ENDOR
 That's the same words in the french version. As I can heard, the
 voice messages between the shuttle Tyridium and the shield-control
 station makes also a reference to Endor (not the moon of...)
 But anyway, the very last meeting where Alliance decides to attack
 death star II (DS2), the dialogues specify that the DS2 protective shield
 is installed on the "green moon".
 Interesting, isn' it ? Is it an incoherence in the script ?
 May be some readers where movies have been translated in their national
 language could confirm or not by listening their own language
 translation ?

Write your reply.

assistant: "Re: the "Star Wars" books", declared Dan Howell from the Vogon ship:
Ben faded away pretty fast when Luke took off.  By the end of Yoda's
speech, he was alone, and the X-Wing was still in view (you can see the
lights).
But it wouldn't have mattered - when he let Vader kill him, they had to
shoot the door closed so that Vader couldn't get to them.  If Ben had
kept fighting, they could have snuck into the Falcon without anybody
noticing them.
On the other hand, you could argue that Luke would have tried to rescue
Ben if he kept fighting, and then they ALL would have been stuck there,
so Ben sacrificed himself to stop Luke from doing something foolish.
But I don't like this explanation because it looks bad on Luke.
Yeah, but he still used the Force to hit it, and from the way it looked
he had successfully used the Force exactly ONCE before, against the
remotes.  Pretty big chance to be taking.  Of course, Ben could have
trained him more on the trip from Alderaan to Yavin, but its still
pretty soon for him to be able to pull off a shot like that.

assistant: "ROTJ:SE", declared Kristoffer Larsson from the Vogon ship:
I beg to differ - Children of the Jedi was great, except that one of the
plots dragged on.  But it was great to have a different atmosphere to a
Star Wars book.
Splinter of the Mind's Eye is also a pretty good book, except of course
that it came out before ESB so Luke's relationship to Leia and Vader is
all wrong.
The Anderson books, however, are horrible.  They AREN'T worth reading.
Anderson's short stories are great, but the books have no atmosphere and
cardboard characters.  (The Jedi Academy Trilogy, that is - I haven't
read Darksaber.)
