assistant: Uhm, nope.  The entire Death Star was destroyed.  From the original
released in 1977 to the Special Edition in 1997, it has, and will
continue to be, destroyed at the end of Star Wars (and the second Death
Star is destroyed at the end of Return of the Jedi).

Write your reply.

assistant: What?  The Empire Strikes Back had a Death Star?!  That was the only one
of three movies that did NOT have a Death Star.  At the end of Star Wars
the first Death Star was destroyed, and even during the opening story
for Empire they said the Death Star was destroyed.  Then in Jedi they
were all but done with a SECOND Death Star.  Which at the end was
destroyed.

Write your reply.

assistant: Palpat
See, now that sounds like something stupid from a Star Wars novel.  And,
actually, if you are going to go by the novels then the Empire did know
about it I believe.  I've read them all except The Planet of Twilight
(which I will never read, I stopped reading Star Wars books for good
after the most recent one) and he had always known it was being built.
But that is beside the point.  The books are ridiculous and to think the
Death Star was built without the Emperor's knowledge is a joke.

one (back when Jedi were probably running around all over).  I'm sure

Write your reply.

assistant: Nope, John is right.  I do not know for sure if he will
be a Jedi Knight (I hope not) but he looks to be in them (or at least
one).  It is a bad move. I know what everyone else says but if people
would just sit back and think, I think they would agree that something
is going wrong here.  I doubt the movies will be as big as everyone
says.  To many big stars (which contrary to what Lucas seems to think,
is a bad thing), Star Wars is being saturated with crap (the books, a
majority of the comics, terrible toys, etc.), and the fact that Lucas is
pandering to the fans with the new movies.  He should NOT do that.  I
mean, he is going to have EWOKS in them (that comes straight from his
mouth during an interview which any number of people on here can back
up), and Boba Fett is in them (which he said was not even an idea at
first), and now Han might make an apperance towards the end of the first
movie.  And if the Falcon is in them I"ll probably walk out, but I know
I'll walk up if it is used as a Jedi Ship.  So far the movies don't seem
to bright.

Luke. He was approached at the start of the Rebel assault on the Death
Star by an Imperial Officer and asked if he wanted his personal Shuttle
standing by to which Tarkin responded with something like:
        "evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate
        their chances!"
Then u see him say you may fire when ready or something when the death
star gets in range of the Rebel moon base and then Luke blows the DS up!
