Doritos and Cheetos - I have dupes which I can trade of the following:
#1 - Cool card of Millenium Falcon going into hyperspace (stars rushing
     by)
#4 - Fighters firing at each other in space
#6 - Han firing the big gun of the Falcon at an imperial fighter and
     blowing it up.
I need cards #2, #3 and #5.  I don't know what's on #2, but #3 is an X-wing
fighter flying in black space firing it's laser, and #5 is Darth's ship
taking off from it's platform on Endor.
I also need the two cards labeled as "bonus" cards, which are in actuality
cards 7 and 8 of the set.
If anyone can help out, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.  If you need
one or more of the 3 cards I have as dupes, let me know, I'd be happy to send
them off to you

assistant: .
once again, you and i are of the exact same opinion. this is why i love
the idea that Fett and Solo are long-time rivals! they are essentially
the same man, the only difference is that fate threw Solo into the path
of the Rebellion (the Good side) and Fett into the path of the Empire
(the Dark side?). Who's to say they couldn't have been in reverse
situations had the Slave 1 been docked at mos Eisley at the right time?
and i really liked that story in Tales Of The Bounty Hunters about Fett
and Solo meeting as old men! that was sooooo cool! i like to think that
they made some kind of truce and both walked away, but it was a cool
ending; kind of a lady or the tiger type of thing....
what did you think of that story, and how do you think it would have
been resolved?  just wondering....

the source would be the movie.
A) Luke crawl up to the belly of the AT-AT and throws a grenade in. he
couldn't do that if it had a shhield on it.
B) Blaster shots continue to ricochet of the armor, nor just dissipate
about a foot away from it, like they would if there was a shield.
C) Wedge (i think) says "That armor's too strong for blasters!"
that pretty much proves they're not worried about shields, they're
worried about armor.

Write your reply.

assistant: Here's another thought about what a Hutt is. Perhaps it means gangster or
mob boss, kinda like a godfather. So Jabb the Hutt, would be Jabba the
gangster or Jabba the boss or however you like it.
Then the huttesse language might not be a real language, but rather a form
of gangster street rap. Something that only the Hutts, or bosses would
understand. This way they can communicate without revealing any vital type
of information. (or use it to talk in front of you back)
Then someone like Bib Fortuna would be the Hutts trusted advisor. So he
would most likey act as a translator when required of the huttesse language.

So, if the AT-AT shot down any speeders that attacked at the right angle, the
speeders could've dived at the neck junction from straight overhead and to
the rear. The speeders have enough lift, and it doesn't look like the AT-AT
can defend very well against an attack from directly overhead.
