Yes, of course I did. It was a simple typing error. At least I hope so.
Maybe I should go to a psychological counselor or so... :-)))
Yeah. You know, commanding such a big cruiser is difficult. And when I
have so much work to do commanding my crew, I sometimes forget other
things...
Nice to hear that. The problem is that I don't even have a video camera...

        Droid  : In this heat....hell no !
I can agree that the AI in a droid with enough experience and compiled
interactivity could produce a level of self-awareness. But a memory-wipe
would be a complete erase of everything except the cosre programming,
any memories of past experience would disappear.
It depends on the level of compiled experiences that simulate
self-awarness.

DL>What is CGI ?

DL>Bye for now :)

Write your reply.

assistant: CGI stands for Computer Generated Images, these could range from
textured backgrounds, to models and now to life-life images.
For pre-SW:SW examples well,the first ever use of a CGI character
(albeit very raw) was in Spielberg's "Young Sherlock Holmes" where a
stained glass window comes to life.
But the real  breakthrough for CGI was "Terminator 2:Judgement Day"
where a fully rendered CGI image the morphing T-1000 was a main
character. Forrest Gump was the next big film which relied on CGI to
created detailed scences like the table tennis match in China. Jurrasic
Park proved that CGI could be used to created lifelike dinosaurs, and
since then many films (Independence Day, Dragonheart, Star Trek) have
used CGI more frequently.
So when CGI was used in the SE's there were precedents in films for the
benefits of CGI

 Thanks. OK it's not a book as I believed. So ISBN is no way for it.
 Well, the second part gives :
 - Some background about G. Lucas' life and first movies and how it
   arrived to make SW (and how he make it)
 - Info on movie music, radio-broadcast episodes, books (incl. those
   of t. Zahn, D. Wolverton, V. N. McIntyre, K.J. Anderson, all the junior
   books), Role Games, Video Games, Star Tours, Toys.
 - Yes a kind of time chart starting from -25000 (old republic) to
   +23 (Young Jedi Knights 1-3)
 - Some info on the Alliance and Empire organizations, with main characters,
   weapons, vehicles.
 I've seen a copy in a new bookstore here in Paris. Will go back there ;)
 Hmmm. Tusen Tak (sp?). Should be OK ;)
 For "c-cedille", The ALT keys combination could give it. But I'm not sure.

 If Endor is the name of the moon which I'm ready to accept,
 why should it be necessary to specify clearly in the dialogs
 Forest moon *of* Endor,  and not only Endor ? And particularly why
 both sentences are used in different dialogues ?
 What makes me think that Endor is not the name of the moon is that
 small *of*, but I may be wrong. My grammatical knowledge of english
 is not so good to understand such differences.

Imperial March, Ewok Celebration and talked about the Star Wars phenomenon.
When she was finished there was still 1 hour left of the lesson since some
other speech-makers didn't show up. The teacher asked the class what they
wanted to do now. In unison they answered: ''Watch Star Wars!''. So they did.
They began when Wicket first encounters Leia and ended when Leia gets shot.
Today my sister found out that she completely aced the speech. She got the
highest grade anyone could get. The teacher, who before the speech told my
sister she hated Star Wars, had trouble stopping her appraisals of her
speech. :)
