@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.

Oh right. Math. Yes. That.
