assistant: Hi!
Well, the Emperor's Hammer is an Imperial club that originated on AOL but
moved onto the Web. We boast over 2500 members. There are several different
sub-groups, including Intel, Hammer's Fist (stormtroopers), Smuggler's Guild,
Corporate Division, Bounty Hunter's Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood (Dark
Jedi). We have been voted top Star Wars club by Site Fights. We write fiction
about our characters and make game levels for X-Wing (oh yeah the Infiltrator
Wing for X-Wing and Agressor Wing for XvT), TIE Fighter, and Dark Forces, as
well as make numerous web pages. (Over 300 EH related sites world wide) To
see about joining, contact the Grand Admiral at GARonin@AOL.com
or
www.emperorshammer.org
Before my Internet access was yanked, I was the commander of Stormtrooper
Legion 3, or SST3. Hopefully they haven't put me on the AWOL list yet so I
can tell them:)
Hope that answers your question!

assistant: Dana,
Please do NOT spend so much money on that game. There are so many bugs,
glitches, incompatibilities, and so much else wrong with it. Sure, graphics
are excellent, and it has tons of cool stuff with it, like modem and Internet
play, but when that doesn't work (and believe me the multiplayer stuff WILL
NOT work all of the time) and you want to (or have to) play solo, there is NO
single player campaign. Sure, it says it does, but there is hardly a briefing
or any officer question or anytrhing. And the "campaign" is just abunch of
battles put together where you just have to win 7 or something and there is
no fun with that. It's really a non-game, and if you want to spend 20-50
dollars on a game only meant for online play that won't play online, that's
fine with me. But I would not suggest it.
Hope that answers your question :)

Well, if your "elite" troop type guy is one in a million, and there is a

You'll notice that the troopers only lose to the main characters. When they

Hello Graham!
Yeah, yeah, but what does that has to do with acting talent? You certainly
don't have to be an actor to learn how to fence and wear heavy costumes.
Sorry? He most definitely didn't synchronize anything since he had no idea he
was gonna be dubbed by JEJ until _after_ the first movie. Instead it's JEJ
who was very good at synchronizing his voice with Prowse's moving.
Not at any major spot, JEJ should be credited _way_ before/above Prowse.

Then let Lucas write the books. I mean if really cared about it
he would have changed it, and made sure everything was like
how he planned. He most likey had a quick glimpse at the books
said okay, and collected the cash ...
But they are novels ...
They use a differnt system ... then movies ...
I mean why dosen't Lucas just publish a trilogy every six months ...
