Hey all. Hope you can help me with a fun little app project i've been working on. I just released my first version of an iphone/ipad app called "Geek Units." Which takes real units and converts them into fictional units from famous science fiction genres. I have galactic credits and trogan meters so far from Star Wars. Can anybody think of any other units of measurement? Also, does anybody have any thoughts on the conversion rate of the galactic credit into US Dollars or Another currency? Would love some help from the community. THANKS

pointless, even for a total SW maniac
start playing games, like the good old X-Wing
too lazy to Google? http://www.theforce.net/swtc/units.html

I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

Is the Star Wars "meter" supposed to be different to our metric "metre"?

Luke says that womp rats are "not much bigger than two meters". That would make them taller then David Prowse.

That's a bloody big rat.

parsec =/= unit of time

That is all you need to know.
