Fett's cool, not sure if I like the whole clone thing, but he's still cool. He survived the Sarlaac thanks to Dengar if I remember "Tales of the Bounty Hunters" correctly(which also had a bit on IG-88 taking over the DSII computer). Though Buddy-x-wing, you make a wellthought out point. From what I remember hearing, the Ewoks were supposed to be Wookies, but they couldn't afford the costumes. My biggest beef with the DS II was the stupidity Palpatine displayed by not finishing it before leaking the plans. Xizor convinced him it was a good idea. What I want to know is, if the Empire can fool the Rebels that the DS II was inoperational, why not also falsely convince them that it was incomplete. Imagine the horror to find that not only was your target fully functional, like what was in the film, but now it was missing the vital weakspot that had convinced you to attack it in the first place. The DS II was pretty much flawless. The beam could be weakened to allow multiple firings, something I wish they had made clear the the DS I couldn't do. I remember in my pre-EU days wondering why Tarkin didn't simply blow up Yavin itself, then deal with the moon. The exhust port was also replaced with micro sized ones all over the place. Of course, the reason the Emperor allowed the DS to be attacked in its infancy is explained two ways.

Cannon - He was overconfident. Plus in the event of the shield's destruction, the DS II was to destroy the moon and escape.

Actuality - A defenseless fleet against an invincable Death Star does not a happy ending make. Same reason Tarkin really didn't blow up Yavin. Than the Rebels would have had the time the plot dictates they needed to blow up the DS.

Could we also please drop the ridiculous idea of dubbing all the Stormtroopers. Implying that the Imperial armed forces are made up of nothing but the same clones from twenty years prior is as ludicrous as when the San Jose Mercury News asked about the droids in their "10 questions we want to know about episode I". I don't remember the article fully, but they wanted Star Wars fans to write in to explain some gaps between the PT and the OT. Most were cases of watching the films with your brain shut off. The one I'm reffering to is "Why does the Empire use droids in battle in E I, but humans in E IV?". It's because the Republic IS the Empire, not the Trade Federation. Dubbing the stormtroopers adds futher confusion into making everyone think that all being hated the Empire. That all planets loved the rebellion. Its not true. I mean, what's next? Have Jango Fett's actor now play every single Imperial officer?
