OK I've changed the subject line.... We have diverted a lot since then....
Hmmm. Don't know. I checked my last magazine and did not read anything

The only thing I've heard is that a new SW book is expected for October

Regarding the "evil clone" thing, I highly recommend the books _Brothers

They're not Star Wars related, except for being science fiction of

the original movies as well...

assistant: "Star Wars : SE", declared Nathan Kesby from the Vogon ship:
The screen at a theatre is wider then a TV screen, so when a movie comes
out on video they have to make it fit the TV screen.  The standard way
to do it is called Pan&Scan, where they chop off the sides of the
picture to make sure that the center of the action fits on the screen,
but losing the stuff from the edges.
The other way to do it is Letterbox, where they shrink the picture down
so that the whole thing fits on the TV screen.  That means that it takes
up the whole screen horizontally, but it leaves black bands across the
top and bottom of the screen.  They can be annoying at first, but you
get used to them after a while.

She was pregnant but vader didn't know she had given birth before she was
