Hello Phillip!

Well, I really like the piece anyway. I guess it all comes down to a matter
of taste, mine vs yours. :)
Perhaps, I'm not that good at recognizing instruments.
Yeah, well, since the new music fitted Coruscant, Tatooine and Bespin well,
but not, in you opinion, Endor, and Ewok Celebration fits Endor but not
Coruscant, Tatooine and Bespin, I guess Victory Celebration is the winner.
Better going with one piece that fits 75 % than one that fits 25 %. :)
Well... We all know that there is no such thing as *elite* stormtroopers. We
all know that Obi-Wan either lied or fooled Luke when he said 'Only
stormtroopers are so precise'. On numerous occasions throughout the Movies
the stormtroopers are no more than 2-3 meters away from 'our heroes' and
shoots one meter beside them. Is that the marksmanship of *elite*
stormtroopers?
You don't know that. Even Yoda cannot... Sorry, wrong line. :) Anyway, how do
you know that only one Ewok dies? You see that one Ewok dies, but perhaps a
100 more died 'out of sight'.
Not really, no. ;)

"Imperial Stormtroopers"
Hi Scott
I should have phrarsed it differntly ...
To something more like there wern't that many
projetile weapons (our types bullet and gun) in StarWars ...
they where mostly energy, or bow and arrow type ...
I didn't see any type that where like out ones
(exculding laser weapons).
I don't know about Stormtrooper armor ... it seemed to be for
blaster (that is if all the troopers where knocked out, rather
then killed by a blast). I mean it seems it was more for life
support ... and had little protection agaist bullet type weapons
(of course that is based upon our world, and since this is
fantasy ... who knows).
I'm affraid I don't remeber this ... I'll have to dig out the tapes
and watch it again ...

Hi Scott
I'm just saying he could ... I'm not saying he will.
I understand this ... what I should say is that he can,
takes certain plots ... and add them into the movies
as he sees fit (again I said can, or if I didn't last time
I'm saying it now).
Really ? But if the first one has Ben, Vadar and Yoda in it,
(even as sub-major charcters), then he can have Luke, Han
and Leia as sub-major charactes as well ... I mean Luke can
say, be a teacher (like in Jedi acdemy), he could be refered to
and maybe in some of the scenes, like Yoda ...
