The issue of Kyle Katarn's lightsaber has always been a bit confused, in terms of which saber he's using at a particular time and what color it is. There are definitely inconsistencies in continuity concerning this.
Inconsistencies in the EU!? Who'd a thunk it?!
^Well, that is nothing short of awesome.

Amazing...I found a signature more annoying than Nanner's.
Nah. Nanner's is still more annoying.

I just woke up from the strangest dream I have ever had.
I dreamed that Frank Miller had framed another comic book writer for his murder as an "April fools day joke" and when charges were pressed I was forced to hear every detail of the case because I was selected for Jury duty and then the defense used All Star Batman and Robin as proof that Miller was insane and shouldn't go to prison.
I swear this all happened in my dream.
My brain scares me some times.
Not as weird as the dream I had a few days ago where I ate a heart-shaped chocolate laced with LSD and suffered a bad acid trip. I mean, really -- experiencing hallucinations in a dream? Talk about totally redundant.

Having said that, as an agnostic, I disagree with every single one of you mother[REDACTED]s, except for Neglify.
I did not know there was another agnostic in the house.
And here I thought my theological uncertainty was as obvious as sunset and twilight ...
I'd be more concerned about amusement park robots malfunctioning and going on homicidal rampages, to be quite honest.

Seriously people, whatever happened to the concept of "You have your beliefs, I have mine, no more needs to be said or debated." Mutual respect motherfuckers.
Human nature is a double-edged sword.

It's too bad we didn't think to make this thread out of wood instead of bricks. The damn thing won't burn one bit.
Oh, you can burn brick. You just need a hot enough accelerant.

Also, take it from me, kids (speaking from experience): Smoking is bad. Don't do it, OK?
But my dad tells me burning the tabacco kills the germs and turns the smoke into harmless steam ...
A number of years did pass between their marriage and her death, y'know. ;-)
He doesn't have any. 'Nuff said.
Maybe if a significant portion of the scientific community shared your pessimistic appraisal, I'd take you seriously. As it is, though, you -- and probably a small number of other Chicken Littles running about the dark bowers of the 'Net -- are the only one saying Earth'll become a second Venus will a few short decades, so I'm not going to take this -- or anything else you say, for that matter -- as anything more than nihilistic hysteria.
As if off-topic needed another strike against it ...
I've never liked this story:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shadows_and_Light
Only a few years have passed since the end of the Great Sith War, and we already have Jedi clinging to the "no attachments" rule? And not in a personal "I choose this path for myself" fashion, but in a dogmatic "to do otherwise would go against Jedi teachings" way.
There are worse examples out there of the TOTJ era being infected with prequelisms, but this story is the first one I became exposed to, and as such I hold a special loathing towards it.

I have not read the Princess Leia comics yet. But i imagine Winter does not make an appearance because she is a legends character and never happened in the current continuity.
No, she hasn't made an appearance, at least not yet. Her role has been assumed by a different blonde Alderaanian (more-or-less).
I hope he has his ROTJ saber back. I loathed how disposable/replacable lightsabers were treated in the PT; I don't want to see that repeated in the ST.
Frankly, I'm starting to lose my taste for off-topic, too. Not quite enough to leave as of yet, but enough to dread coming here.
I've caught up reading the latest issues of the Darth Vader series, and I decided to make the third my final issue, at least in regards to this storyline.
I believe that if a storyline doesn't grab you by the third issue, it's likely you're not going to like the rest of it. Well, this comic isn't grabbing me; I find the art competent but boring, the writing flatter than a pancake, and the unending references to the PT irritating, so I'm calling it quits.
I've also been reading the Princess Leia series. In sharp contrast to the Vader series, I'm actually enjoying it thus far, the wonky "rounding up all surviving Alderaanians" plot and the unnecessary callbacks to the PT in the last issue aside. If it stays on-track, I may even end up accepting it into my personal canon by the time it's over.

I believe Lucasfilm always intended to no longer make the original versions available again as early as 1994.
I agree. The whole "ONE LAST TIME" marketing campaign with the faces set certainly indicates to me that Lucas wasn't planning on re-releasing the OOT on any format after 1995.
Methinks this thread'll do nothing but cause more bad blood to rise without pacifying any of the others.
I've grown sick and tired of Maul, to be quite honest. Over a decade of existence, and the guy had virtually nothing going for him beyond looking and sounding cool; the only time he managed to gain any bit of substance was when brought back in TCW.
He's like Boba Fett, only moreso.

So your god doesn't get off on it, he just doesn't give a shit.
First of all, I don't have a God. Though I'd like to believe in a deity, I haven't had any personal experiences to convince me that one exists, so I remain uncomfortably agnostic.
As for the not giving a shit part, perhaps that's true. Or perhaps God -- being an infinitely non-human entity far beyond our comprehension -- has concepts of good and evil, pleasure and pain that are completely alien to ours.
Gotcha. Whatevs. Bored as fuck now.
In other words, if God doesn't fit into a stereotypical caricature, you don't want to talk about Them. God either has to be a bloodthirsty tyrant or a hippie pacifist; any other concepts of God -- especially concepts of God that paint human mores as finite/trivial -- aren't worth discussing.
