Yea the links are very good. Most people don't understand why banks are failing and it's pretty damn sad. Obama's projected deficit for the next 8 years is over 9 trillion dollars. Even Bush couldn't have done that...
And if you don't have money for oil? I suggest you start saving and investing..You know..Like the American consumer should have been doing for the past 30 years instead of consuming and borrowing off credit?
Hurray. The first real hyperdrive is on its way to being created.

@ JANUS MARIUS AND EMINENCE
Just to show you that you two once thought that Luke < ancient sith. Heck, Janus said that Luke would be spanked by Exar Kun. Funny that you now laugh at those that think the same thing.

Well, it all depends on your logic. A lot of people think Mace<Sidious. And Malak, being a Sith lord around the time of the Golden Era of the Sith (Someone who reigned for a year during a war with the Republic, with some couple thousand Sith beneath him)Forgive me for always playing devil's advocate, but when I see so many people say with utmost conviction Mace can take Malak (And I doubt hardly any of you read Shatterpoint, the best EU source on the man) I get a bit troubled. Now... Malak was a Sith lord. He was a master of combat and darkness, having served frontline in the Mandalorian Wars, having slain enemies and potential usurpers throughout his dark career. He is the only known wielder of a great lightsaber, witha blade of easily four feet. His Force mastery is very good, enabling him to destroy two Jedi before facing Revan. An act that, at the very least, puts him on par with or above Dooku. Dooku, who beat Mace windu in combat previously. Dooku who has nowhere near the merits and experience of Malak himself. So really, you should be asking yourselves, is Mace better than an ancient Sith lord?
And as for Revan and Luke, they are the figureheads of the new factions on this board, Anakin having taken a back seat since Episode III came out. I won't touch on that. But until KOTOR III comes out, Revan's true potential and abilities remain unknown. I would, however, based on all I know of him (And his being better than Malak) he would be only slightly weaker than Exar Kun. And Exar Kun in his living days would spank even NJO Luke around like a ragdoll.

I think Revan is slightly stronger than NJO Luke, but by a very small margin. Mace could beat Malak fast enough to go help Luke finish Revan. Jedi have this. Luke might die though. Good thread.

Thank you Janus; while I completely agree with your deductions on Malak (you'll find I said the same in my earlier posts), I doubt Exar could "spank Luke around like a ragdoll". I believe he could win, but Luke would put up a decent fight. But yes, I believe Luke may be defeated by Kun, and that Mace would fall to Malak. And General, Mace's Vaapad is certainly helpful, but I doubt it'll give him much of an advantage against someone of Malak's calibre. I've noticed Malak is given little respect on this forum; many underestimate him.

Hey SWVsians.Just want to apologize for the absence on the boards; I just made the transition to my new house in San Diego for college and it has been a busy time (part of which the internet at my house died; power surge fried the wireless router, WTF?) but I'm back.
youre going to uc chicago?
IN ADDITION TO MY OTHER QUOTES (which you should look at first, see two posts above) here is another one:

I think Mace on his own could be an amazing fight, but I don't think Vaapad and Shatterpoint > Cracked out Battle Precognition and Sith force use. Now, to give Mace credit, he is a powerful jedi and a saber prodigy. I personally think it could go either way, but Ki-Adi-Mundi isn't going to swing it. A Sith Lord would dominate Ki before the fight even began.
BTW this isn't meant to bash or anything, just showing to people that you shouldn't act like hypocrites.
