No you can say what you feel of course. Personally to me thats sort of in the same vein as someone who would say that For Whom the Bell Tolls the movie is much better book. I would have to disagree fervently but I'm sure someone out there believes that. I use this as an example because in the case of movies being turned to books there is not a real fair comparision. I've never read a Star Trek novel, because Star Trek bores the hell out of me. I think that alot (not all) of people who actually like the EU better never really appreciated what it took for Star Wars to be created, much less sucessful. Its alot easier to write a novel about a world that has already been created then it is to come up with your own ideas, your own characters, factions, etc. To me these authors have been given so much and have done so little, it sad

Didn't you guys almost exstinguish the Finns at one time?

too true

I loved HK but I wasn't in love with HK If he returns good if he doesn't no biggie

I'm from Texas, thats a relatively small country

As some one who writes, as with most writting I'm sure it comes from an amalgamation of many sources. Once a friend told me about a movie in the early 70s I believe that was about these Ice Pirates that was surely an inspiration for Lucas. I've never seen it but I can believe it one of my favorite movies Reservior Dogs was stolen almost scene per scene from a japanese movie

when was the 400th century?

Ya its just like the macarena

I was always under the assumption he was more inspired by the Sci Fi serials he watched as a kid.

Good lentil soup?

I'm pretty sure only three are for crystals though, could be wrong

Do they sell good gyros where you're at?

I'm sure they'll be lots of crystals, with the six slots that are in lightsabers now

We didn't steal your culture, we took it, after we kicked your asses twice

Troy blew big time Oh ya and you never see paintings or sculptures with unibrows

Its not like in ancient greek art, its people have lots of curly black hairs all over them with there shirts half unbuttoned and a couple of gold chains

I think you might want to seek help

Its not like the greeks of today are the same as those in the day of the Great City-States

Right, the idea is not so much action through inaction, but that passivity is the greatest action, if that makes sense

Lao Tzu probaly never saw a yin yang in his lifetime

That would make sense

Star Wars as a whole, with all its cultures is very difficult to pin point But the ideals around the force and its nature seem to very rooted in Chinese Taoism, mostly the writtings of Lao Tzu

When I start taking advise from dumbasses you'll be the first to know

I own a pc, probaly a better PC then most of you own, but I've always been a console gamer, ever since golden eye was out on N64. Its just alot of fun playing FPS against your friends. The only thing thats been really comparable is when 4 of my friends and I lived in this house and would play counter strike and the road to rome games against each other all the time. Plus I love to play sports games, baseball, football, basketball, and pc just totally sucks for that.

So you believe Atris is not a jedi?
