assistant: No problemo :)
 1. Darth Vader... the classic villian
 2. Chewbacca ... the coolest good guy
 3. Boba Fett ... three years ago he would have been #1, but he's been
                  over-hyped and now i'm nearly sick of him
 4. Han Solo
 5. Wedge Antilles
 6. Yoda
 7. Lobot ... don't know why I like him.  He's just kinda cool
 8. Lando
 9. Luke Skywalker
 10. Garm Bel Iblis
 I like 3P0 and R2 as well, but I just couldn't find a place in my list for
 them.  You may have noticed the only character from the books in my list was
 Garm Bel Iblis.  I have read many of the books (not all, but I'm getting
 there), and I find that they do not capture the Star Wars feel.  Some of
 are really bad.  Dark Empire and all of it's sequels should never have
 happened, as well as stories like The Crystal Star, Children of the Jedi,
 Truce at Bakura, etc.  No books can capture the feel of the movie.  You need
 the story on screen to capture the Star Wars feel, IMHO.

"Don't get technical with me!"
You can't compare Star Wars to Star Trek. They are totally
different.
The one is based on diplomacy... on keeping peace and the other
one is based on war.
But does this mean the first two suck, too?
Especially the second one has a brilliant story!
I don't like the story either, but in Return of the Jedi there
was more action than in the whole ST-Series.
I like ST, too. But Star Wars has more atmosphere, it is more
fantastic.
When you see Picard saying the 100th time "Energize" you suddenly
feel a little bit tired. :-)
You always see the usual faces. 100 hours the same faces.
Reality? Star Trek? ... ROTFL!!!
But when I don't want to see how Picard or Sisko prevent a war,
but want to see some action... I watch Star Wars.
In Star Trek I miss the space-action. Faserfire is so boring.
"Shields at 17%" and the Enterprise is still standing instead of
flying manoevers.
And this space action I love in Star Wars, it's thrilling.
Another thing I like about Star Wars is the "used universe". The
ships have scratches and are a little dirty. When the Enterprise,
Voyager, etc. gets hit it always looks like new.
I don't see how you can compare two totally different univeses.
They are both science fiction... and that's it.
And with this single word, you're the biggest loser around. Why
can't you appreciate our love for Star Wars?
Are you insulting everyone who likes a different music than you
do?

assistant: Yeah, they have several different settings of difficulty for when you are
 playing against the computer.
I'm not sure about the random events, but I know that Han Solo will not be
captured by Boba Fett unless you are the rebels and you send him on a mission
and he gets captured by Boba Fett.  It's not just gonna automatically happen,
but it could happen.  It will have animations when events happen like when
you gain control of a planet...
Another cool aspect of the game is building up planetary defenses.  The
Rebels can make use of the huge Ion Cannon from The Empire Strikes Back.
There are several other things too, like planetary shields.  There will be
no ground combat however...
Also for those of you in the UK, the game will not be called Rebellion, it
will be known as Star Wars Supremacy.
