What's the purpose of the friend list?
Time

You know, your Facebook friends automatically notify you every time they update their status or something.  But friends here are...just friends.  What's the point?  Nevertheless, I've got some of you on my friend list, but just because I don't doesn't mean I don't like you.  Don't feel left out that the coolest forum member hasn't yet added you.  Just friend me and I'll friend you back!  Unless I don't like you.

Hey, you never answered my very first question, and I'm truly interested in an honest answer for that one.

Did you see my thread spoofing you?  I've had a hard time capturing the sincerity of your posts, but the biggest challenge has been duplicating such ridiculous content in such lengthy posts.  I'd love an official critique from master himself.  Please let me know how I'm doing ;)

Oh, and in reply to this...

I hate it when characters in star wars, or any other fictional series, like the resident evil video games (the resident evil movies/films, meh, that didn't really happened there not so much, meh I guess), and in the marvel spiderman comics just die and ressurect and come back to life. Albert Wesker, Jack Krauser, Norman Ousbourne/osborne, harry ousborune, and lots of other fictional characters, and that includse grand admiral thrawn.

Yeah, I hate it too when someone you think was gone for good just keeps on coming back!  It's just crazy annoying, isn't it????

A Question on Imperial Lasers

You're absolutely right!  Except it's science fantasy more than science fiction.  And these stories still try to loosely follow the laws of physics.  And the Rebel lasers seem to cause just as much damage as Imperial lasers.  And what does "are R" mean?

Let's not continue to 2 detail threads about these kinds of arguements about "what genre is star wars". If U want to, either me and/or you should create a new thread about that very intresting topic/debate. It is science fiction, the case is now closed. 

I'll will try to stop writing in duplicate double words/messages from now on, aka, ie, stuff like/such as "are R". it's is just an annoying OCD habit that I do. This will be my last post/message that I will conciously do that annoying OCD stuff crap in!!!

ALLOL!!!

"it's is"

"stuff crap"

"post/message"

That's very considerate of you to not want to annoy someone.  How thoughtful of you.  I'm not a moderator, so you make your promises to them, and we'll see how forgiving they are.  However, I'd be cautious about promising not to make silly messages.  You're off to a rocky start, there ;)

Anyway, you know how police find criminals because they leave behind fingerprints.  Well, trust me when I say you've got your own.

You all suck!!!

Just kidding ;)

SPOILERS:

I agree, it's a very different type of story.  To me it fits easily in the Star Wars universe, but a more thoughtful universe.  There are a number of aspects I enjoyed from the story, from the Noghri, to Thrawn, to Mara, to C'boath.  Actually, my most recent reading gave me a new appreciation for the latter.  Thrawn has been my favorite character for years; my first online handle of any sort was grandadmiral36@hotmail.com and my second was thrawn_da_man.  Dorky, I know, but no lie.  Anyway, I digress.  This last reading really revealed to me what a fascinating character an insane, ambitious Jedi would be.  He's not truly evil because he is not sane.  But he certainly is anything but good.  Instead of the obvious evil in Vader and Palpatine, there was a more suble evil, and one asks, can he be turned, can he be controlled, can he be restored to sanity?  In many ways he was far more dangerous in the long run, and his interactions with the brilliant Thrawn made his rise to power truly frightening.  There are many aspects I love about those books.  I'm honestly glad they will not become the new trilogy because they are stories best left as books, but I really did enjoy them for a variety of factors.

Oh, and Luke facing his clone was not just supposed to be the cliche found in the Adventures of Link or Spider-man.  It was reminiscent of Luke's test in the Dagobah cave, where Vader's decapitated head was really an insight into Luke's own potential darkness.  What's more, I found it to be an interesting tie-in with the duel on Cloud City and his own old saber being used against him.  I liked it.
