hmmmm...that's actually a very good question. they're both highly skilled pilots...both have different things going for each side. luke, for example, is more powerful in the Force, but jaina, i believe, has a better grasp of tactics & strategy (a...  [Read More]

valid points, all....though i'd have to argue with your contention that fel's more skilled than wedge. :D regarding the addition of jaina & luke... we agreed earlier on that Force users shouldn't be included coz they had an unfair edge over non-...  [Read More]

We're past due for an NJO-era game. forget the njo, what we really need is a game based around the exploits of WEDGE ANTILLES, fighter ace of the rebellion! it should trace his origins with regards to the alliance right thru the battles if yavin, ho...  [Read More]

The figure doesn't do the character justice. The comic ARC Trooper is much more charasmatic. Solves all his problems with violence, but at least he has a personalty. You can root for him. couldn't agree more. the potrayal of the ARC trooper in repub...  [Read More]

another reason to put Luke at tatoine is that Vader would never think to search at that planet.... of course...who would think of searching his own homeplanet to find his missing son...it's unheard of.... :D i think what's a more likely reason for...  [Read More]

actually, i believe that a tractor beam is rather like a weapon...it has to be aimed at a target before activated, otherwise it won't have an effect on its target. a craft flying in a more or less straight line- like the Falcon- would be easily snagg...  [Read More]
