Yeah, I know, but I'll be honest, I actually typed a single swear word.  Now that might seem silly, but I've always tried to be a good example of my faith here, so I deliberately swore so as to throw off any suspicion.  And then just recently, I told moth3r that I did it once and learned my lesson, but in reality I have done it twice, so even admitting that I did it again kind of makes me feel bad.  On the other hand, I really want to share it, so...give me a bit if no one guesses it, and I'll probably work up the courage to admit it.

 If you aren't going to tell us, you shouldn't have brought it up.

 and now that he's brought it up, he should just say it, get it over with, and end all the drama-making.

I admit that I did have one sock other than my participation in TaggartFrenzy.  Yes, even after the fact, I did do it one more idiotic time, but it's certainly been a while.  For that I apologize.  However, I hesitate to mention who it was.  I guess if anyone guess, I'll 'fess up, but I don't feel like I can just come out and say it.

 That's really... just say it man.

I wonder if this means I can post from my workplace, where we have IE9, and only IE9...

 I wouldn't post at your work if I were you, because you might get fired.

That depends on whether or not he's an at-will employee, doesn't it?

It also depends on what kind of job he has. I know many security guards who wouldn't get in trouble for watching TV while on duty.

 No no, it's a legitimate point.

It was the same prop built for Empire. They sealed it up in plastic, and put it in storage until Jedi went into production.

Why they didn't use it for at least part of the rebel hangar sequence baffles me. That wasn't the best matte painting ILM ever did.

I bet all the sand from the sandstorm scene really wrecked the prop. It's rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like CGI. With CGI, everything is soft and smooth.

Oh, really? So when Joseph Stalin died in 1953, the USSR just fell apart within a couple of years, did it? Or do you think that if Hitler was killed in say 1941, the National Socialists would have just called it a day and capitulated? (Without Hitler's egomania, they may actually have had a better chance at winning the war). Or you can go even further back; When Caesar was murdered, was the Roman Republic automatically restored?

Re: Stalin: he didn't found the Soviet Union, and the post-Stalin USSR was very different (de-Stalinization took place).

Am I the only one who understands how the Empire died with Palpatine in ROTJ?

Do you want to explain that? Because the EU perspective of a bureaucracy and military so large that it can function without its head for a long time is pretty convincing. It's not like Palpatine invented the Empire; he just militarized the existing government, and that military (and cultural change) don't disappear overnight.
