You didn't read the article I linked. Hence, it was well withing my rights to get snarky about a statement already answered in said article.

I was going to post the lyrics to Chewbacca, then realized a significant % of the words would look like ****.

So, here is the link, for those who need to know - http://www.geocities.com/ironwallco...s/chewbacca.htm

btw - I'm glad to see him return !

Just put Chewy and a lot of light-saber killing, George... don't even think of Jar-Jar neither!

Anakin turning evil should be fun. Who is the actor that plays him in this movie?

quote: Originally posted by Frankychan Who is Tarkin?! Why, only one of the greatest Imperials that ever lived, my good man! He's the guy in Episode IV that gives the order to destroy the evil rebel planet Alderaan. He's also the one who brings law and order in the movie via the Death Star.

Actually, Tarkin's Death Star had little to do with law and order in the galaxy--it wasn't around long enough to have much effect!

The Tarkin Doctrine was simple--rule by fear. He was a sociopath who believed brutally oppressive policies were the best way to maintain control, a galactic Heinrich Himmler, so to speak.

In the end, I don't understand the idolization of him. Tarkin's doctrine was seriously flawed, and probably responsible for the rise of the Rebellion as a significant force in the first place. His policies invoked sympathy for the Rebels and abhorrence for the Empire. The destruction of Alderaan was simply stupid. His arrogance and one-dimensional thinking led to his death. Too bad for the Empire that he took some of their best minds with him, such as Admiral Motti and General Tagge.

What we need to see in the next SW film are the youthful incarnations of the great ones. You know: Admiral Piett and General Veers.

Sure it does. Wookies live much longer than humans do. I think Chewbacca is something like 120 years old in the original Star Wars film.

Good taste Boris, though you left out the greatest imperial of them all, Captain Needa.

Bah, Needa was a schmuck who didn't play smart.

Piett knew how to play the game, so I rate him above Needa any day!
