@tim, again, nice work, and while I of course don't always agree with everything, it's fun to see the rebuttals. But there is one I have to say you didn't address properly: 12 man squads. That is a typical American-sized squad, but the Imperial ordered "three squads to help," which apparently totaled 12 men. Seems small to me. Otherwise, nice work.

Sure I did!

Well there you go. An Impieral squad is 12 men.

I think you're having a maths problem. 3 squads= 12 men. Therefore, 12/3=4. 1 squad = 4 men. Kind of a tiny squad.

However, I think Endor is having a hearing problem. The captain says 'send 3 squids to help!" and 2 of the soldiers are quarrens and another one is a Mon Calamari. Which is the standard allotment of squids in a squad, along with 8 men and 2 jawas (one standing on the shoulder of the other) so there were, in fact, 13 personages in the squid squad, which is one more than 12.
