Come to think of it, I have seen the prequels in a long time too. And I haven't really done a proper complete series watch... though I guess I should wait for Ep. IX to come out too, so that the full vision can be revealed.

Similar planets open the way for some lore regarding ancient planet-makers, who apparently used several pre-made designs and hardly bothered to change the planet priner's settings. "Similar, yes, but they are fully habitable, aren't they? Stop complaining!"

Well, I suppose the book has become Legends now, even though Thrawn was promoted to Canon. Mara Jade is still Legends for sure. And so is out old pal, Kyle Katarn.

Soap... Duloks... gosh, Death, what have you gotten yourself into?!?

At least the SNES will have 16-bit graphics - that's twice as many bits as the NES. Awesome technological advance! Unparalleled breakthrough in colored pixels! Speaking of Sw-themed DOS games reminds me of the recent repairs going on around city hall (in my home town). They have put these weird barriers all over the place and now going through feels like navigating a Dark Forces map. Yay.

Yup, even today I am mostly an FPS fan. That's where I feel most comfortable, in control of the situation. Leading an army has its charms, but eliminating the enemy personally feels even greater. When it comes ot other genres (mostly RTS and RPG), I stick to simpler titles.

Hoo boy, they are relentless. The III is going at full strength, though at least several deadlines were slightly pushed back. In other words, I can probably get the extra items and find the secrets before the level timer gets critically low. I should note that some games are able to create an atmospheric sense of urgency without resorting to frustrating timers and other mechanics that force you to hurry. I like that... though they sometimes employ annoying nagging (imagine some guy reminding you to get to some gate, every 5 seconds).

Heh, nothing that dramatic. It crossed my mind to find out your house, but then I thought "Texas is so big, it will take me months." Plus, I wouldn't like a nice present to end up in the hands of a twisted half-cousin, who'd probably just give it to the dog.
