"I'm sending my apprentice, Darth Maul, to join you." suggests that Darth Maul used the Sith Infiltrator to make his way to Naboo. What puzzles me is where did he hide it? It would probably not have left Naboo after the battle, so did the Republic find it? Finding that would have shed some light on the whole master/apprentice thing, there would probably have been some hologram recordings of Sidious on board, and it wouldn't take long for someone to say:"Heeey... I'd recognise that chin anywhere..."

The location of Maul's ship IS a mystery, but if nothing comes of it we will have to assume that Palpatine got to it first.

why should we assume that

Because that is the most likely explanation- if we hear nothing more about it, it is probably because it was not found, which in turn is probably because Palpatine moved it. Always accept the simplest explanation unless there is a reason not to.

Hehehe, I know, that's one reason I love EU so much.

Leaves something for the EU to pick up later maybe?

Probably inevitably. EU won't let a character or ship go into shot without giving it a full backstory.

I think thats the reason i hate EU so much

Hey man, don't dis the EU!

No, he can dis all he likes.

I know. I was just joking. I personally like the EU.

Yeah, I got that impression...

You sure are the sarcastic type!

I am... I owulnd't normally inflict it so casually, but I just have bad memories of stupid arguments about EU I'ver had to have in the past... what the hell happened to Jedi Merc anyway?

I don't know about him, but I don't come here to look for fights about Star Wars, merely share information and opinions.

I know. I'm sorry. There have been some odd people here over time...

If the idea that the infiltrator was built my Mr. SIenar are true, that's another reason for it not to have been found, because it would have blown him out as a bad guy a little too early. However, none of this is really canonical.

Hey, wait, what did happen to Merc? i would like to know the same thing Ush.

After an argument about the Council that probably could have been avoided, he defected to the NJO and vented his anger rather unpleasantly. Probably forgotten all about it now, but he's entrencehed over there now.

I worked out the NJO link recently. And now they are on our EZboard ring! Nice and friendly. Now if they would just acknowledge my post asking them to do the same...

Wait, wait, what exactly is this unpleasent argument? And what is NPO.

(Sorry, this is general discussion, i would just like to know the answers though)

NJO is a different forum headed by someone who used to be on the Council here (before my time).

Merc's argument was that he thought he had a right to be on the Council when another Council member left after ANOTHER argument. He left rather hastily.

All three are on NJO now. The two that left after the argument then posted a load of stuff saying how rubbish it was here.

Anyhow, all over now.

Does anyone think we'll be seeing more cool Sith technology, by the way?

I'm hoping Dooku's solar sailer will be a god successor, although it's not like we saw the Infitrator in its deserved glory anyway. Hands up who thought it was the coolest ship in the film nevertheless... The cross sections book made it out to look superb on the inside, we just got a peep as Darth Maul came down the ramp.
Don't want to start the whole "flamesaber" debate again, but that's one piece of Sith technology I'm not sure I'll like. Getting light to stop in in its tracks to form a cylindrical blade is pushing science fiction to the limits, getting it to form into a scimiter shape pushes it slightly over. Still, it might look cool if that's what GL has planned.

(Hand up...)

BTW, don't get me started on a discussion of lightsabre physics or we will be here all day...

Just go to

And read the section on sabres.

You will often hear me referring to this guy as the 'Australian Star Wars nutter', or the "sabre nut".
