assistant: Hi Tony,
I would be reasonable to assume that the Empire kept most of that
information a well kept guarded secret. In the event of just such a thing
as defection, or treachery.
Well, using the games as my source...
The X-Wing, A-Wing and Y-Wings would be purchased, just like a car from
their manufactuer. Unless they found them in a scrap yard or get them in
some other way.
Incom is given as the maker of the X-Wing, which supposedly was an
enhancement of the Z-95 headhunter. It also claims that Incom used to deal
with the Empire, but turned traitor in selling the X-Wings to the Rebels.
Koensayr is given as the maker of the Y-Wing and Dodonna/Blissex make the
A-Wing. The B-Wing was concieved by "Commander" Ackbar as way to combat the
Imperial capitol ships. The ship itself was prototyped by the Verpine, an
insect race living in the Roche system.
I don't know how big exactly, but I would say it was pretty darn big.
Enough to crew all those Star Destroyer shown in all the movies. Plus
enough to crew the two Death Stars!

They wrote:
JS>-> Ok so the majority here love Mr Fett. My question is, what does he
JS>-> look like under the helmet? Is he a human or some other monster?

Write your reply.

assistant: Well, given his physical outward appearence, he is most likely a humanoid
race of some kind. After all, we can deduce his bipedal, two legs, and has
two arms. He also has a pretty average humanoid sized head and body frame.
So, chances are he is a humanoid, though it's possible he may be scarred or
disfigured like Vader behind the armor. Then again, the could just be, well
armor which is woren when on a mission.
When he's chilling out, he probably takes it off to get waxed and buffed
while he puts his feet up to rest.

Hmm, perhaps a Star Wars televsion might be better, aking to Star Trek.
There could be episodes that deal with certain characters, like Boba Fett.
Who he is, where does he come from, what's his lot in life etc.
A show that concentrated on "the other guys", where one episode might deal
with Fett. Another might deal with one of the Royal Guards, or Jabba, etc.
Where the ephasis is on that character and how he fits in with the big
puzzle.

assistant: or

Then that might further explain all of the characters in Jabbas place on
Tatooine.  Those would be his "gang" or "mafia" members, like any other
gang or criminal enterprise. Being the Hutt, makes him the top dog with the
rest under his command.
Like any other mobster, Jabb is into several rackets, like stealing, black
marketeering, frozen Han Solo's, etc. You could also compare the carbonite
Han to the old "cement shoes" and toss him in the river bit.
As a Hutt, he probably control a certain section of the galaxy as his
"tutf", like Tatooine. There are probably other "Hutts" who control other
areas of the galaxy just the same.
Together all these other "Hutts" and gangs probably form a galactic crime
ring. A network of sorts, where the "hutesse" language would be used by the
"hutts" to make out their plans. The beauty of which, is that only they and
a select few know the language. So, their plans would be kept secret from
their gang underlings.
So, if someone found out certain information, it would be pretty easy to
spot a suspect. It would either be one of the Hutts themselves or an
advisor, like Bib Fortuna.
In fact this mob ring could of played in the capture of Han Solo on Bespin.
With the network, Jabba could convey his wishes about Han Solo across the
galaxy. By staying in touch, Han's whereabouts would be know and sent to
Jabba. Which might of helped Boba Fett locate Han on Bespin and make deal
with whoever. Perhaps Jabb himself made a deal with Vader; the lure of the
Rebels in return for Han's body.
