The Dish one (Atgar Blasters) are more powerful than the towers (Golan
Defense batteries). Of course that only applies in the card game, but I think
if you check ESB, the Atgars are shooting at the Walkers, and the Golans are
shooting at the troopers.

Write your reply.

assistant: On Thu Apr 10, Earl Laamanen said to Brion Lienhart:
Yes that's right, except that light reflects (bounces off) from objects.
Refraction is what occurs when it goes through something and gets bent. You
see your reflection in a mirror, not your refraction, right? 8-(;-)
Also the third form of heat transfer is convection, that's what you get when
something (air or water usually) gets warm in one place, flows to a different
place and warms up something else. Like the radiator in your car, cools down
the engine, warms up the air.

 Someone should produce a Star Wars Universe animated series.  Not like
 the cheap Batman or X-men shows, but a miniseries with as much detail and
 quality as some Japanimation movies.  They could do stories about all
 the background guys, like Fett, all the other Hunters, Jawas on Tatooine,
 etc.  An acted show would suck, it could never be as good as SW and would
 almost certainly dissapoint because of that.  I'm not saying it couldn't
 be good, but I doubt it would be what we want.  It's a little easier and
 cheaper to do special effects with animation rather than live action.

 but that doesn't mean they can't. They must be able to fly to fly in the
 air in an atmosphere well because they can land and fly in atmospheres.
 and they must be able to fly well in a gravity field of a planet because
 they attacke the death star. The deathstar was as big as a moon and must
 of had a gravitational pull on the x-wings. As long as they could menuver
 and use weapons in an atmosphere i think its safe to assume that they
 could fight in one. And i didn't know you ever said that quote above.
 what i meant was that they were sart fighters and needed in space at the
 time. not that they couldn't operate well in an atmosphere.
