You catch on pretty quick!

But seriously, maybe we should call them air brakes?

I actually thought of it the first time someone posted a static mockup way back when, but never said anything. I guess I figured 'flaps are funny.' :p But seriously, I hadn't given a lot of thought about different flaps on the same wing performing so many different functions before looking at that picture. I guess it depends on how far away they are from the body and the tip of the wing.

Those screencaps of the sabers are amazing, especially Luke's in the first one. It looks SOOOOO bad. Just shows how lazy and rushed LFL was to get those DVDs on the shelves. They couldn't even be bothered fixing George's preferred versions! :(

Looking at this crude yet effective picture, there are different names for the 'flaps' depending on what they do:

However, they all point away from the cockpit, unlike in the snowspeeder mock-ups. They almost seem like brakes in that case.

Welcome aboard, bezlebe! You're doing well! Almost level 3 already, and Vitality as a power up. That'll be vital (no pun intended) if you get a pet, too.

Speaking of pets, I saw a bear die in the game for the first time yesterday. Sad to see it slowly fall to its face like that... Takes a lot to knock one out, though, as they have 110 hit points.

New one-hit record with Mumblin: 123 points! The whole fight lasted less than 10 seconds. When it started, I threw a net on the guy's dog, then I hulked up, then hit him with my club. :)

Is he really that insanely wrinkly, though? (or did you go crazy with the sharpening again? heh heh) He looks like The Mummy! :p

Well, whatevas. They're still visible, so...yup.

Back to the topic! :) I always love seeing Ady's posts in part because he points out things that even an army of other nitpickers haven't noticed. Heh.

Nice to hear from you, Ady! Interesting that you're considering the wing flaps, too. :)

Oh, and is anyone else having any issues in seeing diddy solo's posts properly? They're all greyed out as if I've blocked him, which I haven't. (and he hasn't blocked me) No idea why it's doing that...

Well observed, C3PX. ;)

And it's good you bumped it, too. This keeps getting forgotten about, I think.

The colouring and overall look of Adywan's latest shot is awesome.  Wow!  :)

Yes, and for me, it's the lights on the SD that give it "life", if you will. (will you?) Seems to add an extra crispness to the scene.

We don't need no stinkin' deal!

Well spotted.

Yeah, the menu stuff they did is very nice! What's the deal?! :p

Not a bad lookalike! :)

Yes, subtlety makes a big difference in this case. Well done, Tim. :)

Thanks, Bingo. I just watched a video of it and I kinda/sorta think I may have seen it before a long time ago. :)

Anyone know what that's from?! :o

I tried it in VLC first and after it reported that the file was broken, it didn't do anything.

MPC should be able to report the codec used. At least I think so.

Hmm...where/how would I find that information? I can look it up and report back.

If it makes you any feel better, DE, I couldn't. ;)

I used Media Player Classic to play it. Worked beautifully. :)

Now that's just rude...

Oh yeah? I see your burp and raise you a belch!

Also agreed. ;) Quick comments, let's move on.

I anticipate sending out many copies of Star Wars Begins to fellow fans/friends. I can't count how mnay times I've copied BE and RTJ for people. I consider both must-haves.
