Also, I thought the Empire was always xenophobic, humans first.  Weird seeing aliens who like them.  I think having humans in those roles would have gone better.  However, good to see there are those who do like the Empire.  The rebellion, at times, was very small.  That indicates that at least a notable part of the population are loyalists (at the beginning stages of the American Revolution, it's been said it was roughly 1/3rd loyalists, 1/3rd rebel, 1/3rd in the middle) at some point.


I found that rather good. Imagine all the collaborations you have in historical take overss even of very unfriendly occupations, like the 3rd Reich or Stalin‘s Russia. You always have those who suddenly see a way to change their status by working with the occupiers- even if they are despised (yet not exterminated) by those.

I quite like it. The character is believable and this makes him better than Boboa Fett. I accept that Obi-Wan is feeling uncomfortable turning his back to Tattooine. His task was to protect Luke and now he left him alone and finds himself somewhere else in the galaxy, facing trouble everywhere, being closer to be revealed and finally even is found by Vader himself. The relative weakness suits him although I have not forgotten he was always considered the best light sabre fighter ever by the Jedi council. He just has to grow into his old shape again.

Watched episode 4 last evening. And I really enjoyed it.

I liked how „Ben“ now finally started to use the Foece again, but I loved the setting even more. It reminded me a lot of one of my favorite games of days bygone- Dark Forces.

And finally after 40 years we saw Snowspeeders again. They can be used as a fast strike attack vehicle! I guess now it’s settled and I need one.

And I thought it was a red herring when the jedi friends declined! Oh what a joy it was to see them in action…against troopers!!!!

I quite liked the little shuttle that Tia used to get him there. Fairly simple and small. Perfect for a game  :)

It was cool: reminded me of a Howlrunner fighter actually.

But don't get distracted now; there's a shuttle to do first...  ;D

I always thought it was canon that they were modified to suit the conditions (mine certainly is lol)?
