The jedi use natural crystals to power theirs. and the sith used synthetic. That's not true, actually. According to the Shadows of the Empire Novelisation (an EU source of course) Luke's lightsaber is made with synthetic crystals, and it happens...  [Read More]

The official story I've heard many times is that the reason they used a Green saber for Luke in ROTJ was primarily because it showed up better against the yellow sandy background of Tatooine (notice how Anakin's blue saber in ANH looks greenish in th...  [Read More]

Some have speculated that the color of the bolts has something to do with the "efficiency" of the "lasers" being used, but that's purely fan speculation. I am guessing that the blaster/turbolaser mechanism is supposed to be diffe...  [Read More]

It shouldn't matter what side you're on, but rather what weapons you use. After all, Queen Amidala has a "green" blaster in TPM, and everybody else everywhere in the movies uses red, with a few exceptions (Clonetroopers use Blue in AOTC)....  [Read More]

When you want to verify facts, especially about something you don't know much about, you consult experts (scientists, doctors, lawyers, etc). On the other hand, these people provide "professional opinions" as well, so try not to confuse the...  [Read More]

A simpler way to differentiate is to say that: Facts = true whether you believe them or not, not based on popularity. Opinions = interpretations of reality. some are more 'informed' than others, but everybody's got one. many are purely subjective a...  [Read More]

In the end I'd like to postualte one thing: I see NO reason why ANY normal person can't understand fully this monstrous multiverse. It's only a matter of good explanation. That's it. I would contend that the universe is too vast and complex a system...  [Read More]

I would be open to the possibility of a multiverse, but I'd need some pretty convincing evidence, let's put it that way. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Notice I haven't tried to "prove" that an infinite, omnipotent God...  [Read More]

Some programs do support both platforms, but in some cases you may need to use an "emulator" like VirtualPC. I don't have a lot of experience with these however......  [Read More]

It's a pitty that Jedi Knight/Mysteries of the Sith were never released on the Mac. I'm sure it (JKA) will be ported eventually. It will be nice to have some more players to fight against/with. The Mac version of JK2 did have higher res pre-rendered...  [Read More]

So far, Kyle has only been mentioned or referenced in the NJO. He has yet to be seen "on screen" in a book. (here's hoping that he'll have a cameo at the very least, prolly in the final all-or-nothing battle. I re-read the press release an...  [Read More]

We've never seen a canon example of a Jedi trying to hold his breath in vacuum... though there's some stuff in the EU that I don't really remember. Still, a Jedi in a Zero-G combat suit? Cool. Jedi Fighter pilots we've seen. They're cool. It's jus...  [Read More]

Jedi used guns (and other non-saber weapons) in the Tales of the Jedi comics as well. It's totally logical that a force user wouldn't be limited just to a lightsaber in combat. We've seen Jedi fighter pilots too for example......  [Read More]
