Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist.

Normally, I'm the one to laugh and joke about the retarded stuff, but literally naming a character "Savage Oppress"?

Star Wars is officially Captain Planet now.

Haha and I thought Cad Bane was a terrible name. That's on the level of Sleazebaggano.

Why is ABY the galatic standard for time? Sure it's a big win but it's not the winning factor against the Empire.

Probably for no reason other than that it's an easy movie-centric time reference. Also because EU writers are so hung up on the movies that they have trouble coming up with anything original.

To be fair, it was in the awesome card game. The best part was playing a tusken raider deck back in '98 and trying to pronounce the different names.

My friends and I just use different variations of "Ooh-ror-ror-ror-ror" whether they're correct or not. We can tell the difference!

I always assumed the wings spreading was for heat dissipation till I realised that you don't get that sort of heat dissipation in space (Do you? Would a CPU Heatsink work in a vacuum?)

Without air as a medium for direct heat transfer, it takes a long time for an object to cool off. It will still lose energy through radiation but that's a hell of a lot slower. It's why the vacuum in a Thermos works so well as an insulator. I guess increasing surface area would help a little, though.

Did you mean Jaxxon? I don't remember the story--just the first rabbit guy to come to mind.



...Did you know Wookieepedia has an entry on space carrots?

They also have an article on Monopoly. It was clearly intended as a throwaway pop culture reference gag but the 'spergers take everything entirely too seriously.

Outside of the movies, Nebulon-B frigates are used more often as combat/communications ships so I'll just pretend it was one of those.
