2 other things:
1. It's nice to see so much activity in this sub forum as of late.
2. Would this level of activity persist if we spun some of these conversations out into individual threads? I think one of the problems we have here is that we discuss the same issues in lots of different threads and lots of different issues in the same threads. It leads to a lot of ideas getting lost or repeated. Just food for thought.
Surprises: Yoda
Surprises: Vader
Surprises: Luke and Leia
Surprises: (what else?)
How to handle Owen?
Who are the Clones?
All of these would be excellent threads.
