Atari and NES games, right? Boy, that should be fun :P

It's a whole universe - this is what makes a francise great. A universe populated by all sortso f stuff. It tends to have some copy-paste planets, though. Desert planet - you can bet it would be nearly identical to Tatttooine. Ice planet? A Hoth clone. Forest planet? Another Endor or Yavin IV.

Elom is pretty good symbol of how I view the old EU - an attempt to give a detailed background story to every single minor character that appears on the screen for 0.62915 seconds. Some stories are nice, but most are like "why do we even need this?"

One of the more awkward things was Luke's scream as he falls in Ep V - first he had a scream, but then "oh wait, that doesn't sound right", so he lost it. Oh yes, the cloud city improvements were great - originally, it was mostly bland corridors, which could be on any planet. The new Death Star explosions look nicer too.

Baba Marta is a seasonal manifestation, so she is dormant for most of the year. So when March comes, she suddenly springs to life, sees how the nasty Little Sechko has been tormenting people with cold weather, and gets angry. In her anger, however, sometimes she causes even more trouble, which is why we have to wear those red-and-white amulets (martenitsas) to appease her :P

(There was this old folk joke - "Why is Baba Marta so angry? Because February is too short and April is too soft." Yup, that's some traditional XIX-century erotic innuendo for ya.)

It's a long way to the battleground. A true warrior has to pass the 15-year-spanning rite of passage, as this is the only way to avoid the dark side!

A powerful scenario editor sounds temptimg. I have only dabbled in the Warcraft III editor and it was pretty fun. I made two movie-like maps as special greetings to friends. Working with triggers and creating increaisngly complex events really appeals to my inner nerd.

My own planet would be some really freaky place. Probably eternally locked in the month of March, to ensure the Baba's unchallenged domination!
