So they *will* be released! Cool! Integrity is one thing, but in all honesty, video means revenue. I was sure they would be released somewhere along the line.

I was just getting tired of all these "A New Hope" messages where no one was coming up with any new ideas, just saying that they are right, and that's all. It's interesting to read messages when someone tries to come up with a new way to prove their point instead of the old yesnoyesno. There are no solid facts of course, that's why we are discussing it. Since we are still writing messages, no one seems to be bored yet. Also, that thing about opinions was a joke. You know, like "Do as I say, not as I do". Sometimes I come up with messages that are a bit too harsh, and I feel like changing them the next day, but that's not a possibility. Anyway, we might as well get back into the fray...

I have all the novels out so far (I think) and of all of them his trilogy was and probably will always be the BEST. It was superbly written and IMHO none of the others have come close to matching it.

When it first opened no one knew it would be as big as it was and Lucas did not put the "Episode IV" or "A New Hope" on there. It was added after they knew there would be other movies in the series.

DH>I thought that he was quoted as saying that he ORIGINALLY intended it to e DH>title, not that it was a title. Can you clarify this for me? Here is what was said, exactly: "..and how did you come up with Hutt in Jabba the Hutt?" "I wanted to give Jabba a title. Just as European royalty have titles, like baron. Jabba has a made-up title, Hutt." I think that makes it pretty clear. *** * OLX 2.1 * e-mail: brandon20@earthlink.net --- * Origin: Night-Bytes BBS (1:363/167) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 138 STAR WARS Ref: E5B00014 Date: 05/01/97 From: BRANDON WOLGAST Time: 03:35pm \/To: CHRISTOPHER PERRY (Read 0 times) Subj: Hutts CP>BW> WAS atitle when I brought it up.

DB>OK, I have been skimming through my Star Wars RPG book, which all info in DB>the book is authorized by Lucasfilms Ltd., and it says that THE Hutts are DB>species that is evolved from slug-like creatures. Let me say again, THE DB>HUTTS ARE A SPECIES. I forgot that there is a difference in the terms DB>"race" and "species". Now, for all of you that think it is a title, how an DB>a title evolve!?! DB>I admit that I was wrong about "Hutt" being a race. DB>I found the info, and it is over! Not at all. Most of us do not consider the RPG a viable source of information. It has things, some big, some small (such as it saying that Star Destroyers have no defense on their undersides, yet in Star Wars they show them firing clearly from their bellies), that do not agree with the movies. I myself play the RPG all the time, have played it for over 6 years now and have 51 books for it, but do not consider a thing in there as fact. If it comes to the RPG vs. Lucas, Lucas wins. Here is what he said: "I wanted to give Jabba a title. Just as European royalty have titles, like baron. Jabba has a made-up title, Hutt."
