He might have been lumping them together, I'd guess. I wouldn't be surprised if Tarkin didn't know, to be honest. Palps probably kept that a secret even after the 'coup' of the Jedi and his rise to ultimate power.

The Emperor swiveled his chair toward the light, and Tarkin glimpsed his sepulchral visage; the molten skin beneath his eyes, the bulging forehead. After all these years, he was still not accustomed to it. "When one consorts with vipers, one runs the risk of being struck," the Emperor had told Tarkin following the attack on him by a quartet of Jedi Masters.

There were many stories about what had occurred that day in the chancellor's office. The official explanation was that members of the Jedi Order had turned up to arrest Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and a ferocious duel had ensued. The matter of precisely how the Jedi had been killed or the Emperor's face deformed had never been settled to everyone's satisfaction, and so Tarkin had his private thoughts about the Emperor, as well. That he and Vader were kindred spirits suggested that both of them might be Sith. Tarkin often wondered if that wasn't the actual reason Palpatine had been targeted for arrest or assassination by the Jedi. It wasn't so much only that the Order wished to take charge of the Republic; it was that the Jedi couldn't abide the idea of a member of the ancient Order they opposed and abhorred emerging as the hero of the Clone Wars and assuming the mantle of Emperor.

Hey Dee Dee, I haven't seen you around much in the General Discussion area; where you been, man?



So guys, if you were to adopt a lightsaber combat form, what would it be?

I don't know the name of it, but I love how Ahsoka uses her lightsabers with an underhand grip.

Yeah, they tried to tell her this was wrong, but damn she was badass while using it!

Khajiit mostly used the double-bladed lightsabers in KotOR, KotOR2, Jedi Academy. This one really likes that style. "More slaughter per swing."

Other than that, Khajiit likes Ahsoka's dual saber style where she uses one normally in one hand, and an "ice pick grip" on the other one.

What about Pong Krell, using two double-bladed lightsabers!

In the Kotor games I usually went with either a double-ender, or two sabers. I went with two sabers in Jedi Academy. The single lightsaber just seems boring compared to them. It would be more interesting if you could go saber and an energy shield like this one. Then you could have a sword and buckler style.

Saw that a while back, got a bit of a laugh out of it. Kinda disappinted to see how many people are taking it seriously.

It's a mark of how bad the Prequels and jar jar are. Dedicated Star Wars fans are warping the entire Star Wars universe to try to justify his inclusion

Lucas likes jar jar, and wanted him in the film. It really is that simple. He doesn't need the Force, because he's got Lucas on his side, so Lucas warped the movies around him. That thing was bad enough in the first film, but bringing him in after that was just criminal, frankly.

Guys, if you could choose your own SW ship, what would it be? And what would you name it? I'm down to a Wayfarer-class medium freighter; "The Compensator."

The Firesprays are cool. I think I might go with an SS-54 Assault Ship, like Sugi and Jas Emari had. I especially like that it was erroneously classified by the Empire as a light freighter, so they consider it a civilian craft rather than a military one. Oh, I forgot a name. I think I would call it Eternal Night.

I have always liked the T-6 Shuttle as well. But I think I would have more fun in the assault ship!

I'd probably have to go with a heavily-modified HWK-290 light freighter, named Silhouette

Either that or I'd go classic: A heavily-modified Dynamic class light freighter, named Rolling Bones
