Yes, this is the US Insider and YES YES YES you CAN subscribe to it when you're overseas. I can get you an e-mail address to them if you want it, finti. You'll have to pay by money order or credit card though. But once they get back to your e-mail you can fax your data and credit card number and it's on the way.
AND MY LIFE HAS FOREVER CHANGED BECAUSE OF A FETUS

Whoa! I think it is vitally important that Anakin does NOT know of the 'ghost trick'! If he did, then Vader would have known what Obi-Wan did after the duel on the Death Star- hence the "more powerful than you can possibly imagine" line. It is clear that Vader is quite confused by what happened, and by extension the Jedi as a whole don't know.However- that leaves the question, how did the returned Anakin manage to do it at the end of ROTJ? This is a mystery. Perhaps it will be answerd later, or perhaps it's just a matter of "spiritual strength" or something.
But Vader does NOT know!
I WANNA BORROW THE TOP

You find more bodies scattered around the platform, with similar wounds. There has been a recent massacre here.There seem to be a few 'optional' extras bolted onto this platform. The detention centre, in particular, seem rather incongruous. The cells however, are empty.
The supply rooms, however, tell a more obvious story, with weapons and equipment for the pirates. This must have been a reserve base of theirs; these cells would make a good hidden place to keep Damagran prisoners.
Yerssot, you discover the bad news first. There is a single transport that normally resides on the station, adapted for approaching the planet. But it is already in use- someone has taken the shuttle down to the surface.
Gundark, you find a public access computer and root around., It appears that Faylar built this place to mine the gold and other mineral deposits on the ice of the planet- deposited by the stellar material. This planet is a literal gold mine; it must be the source of the money that was paying the pirates.
But at some point Faylar appears to have GIVEN this platform to Kuylen. The Dark Jedi worked the workers hard and virtually without pay; from some of the records you can find a mutiny was brewing. Judging from the bodies, they took their chance to kill their slavers; a bad move aginst ones so powerful.
The name of the planet below is Avalar. Avalar, Avalar... again, Gundy, you THINK you have heard that name before. The name gives you an uneasy feeling.
Whatever it is, there is more than just gold mining going on here. Judging by the work Kuylen was doing here, you would almost say that this platform was being used for archaeology, not mining. There are references to the 'dig site' and 'excavations' and 'artifacts', and something about a 'Monastery'...
If any of you are with Gundark at this point, you see a horrified look pass over her face. Oh no! Not THAT Avalar, surely!
Lulz @ Ushgarak. "But Vader does NOT know!"
Nerd.

I agree with RC. Even though Leia's birth parents were dead (or at least both thought to be) and her adoptive were destroyed with Alderaan, she would have kept her adoptive name. There just would have been no positive reason to change it.
I could just shake you like a baby 😊

I think that the style of sword play we see in the OT is very much that of an aging OB1 and that Luke picks up on this and addopts it to himself.I would imagine that, as with most forms of fight skill, that while there is an underlying form, that the individual will inject their own personailty into it to make each person techniques subtly different.
I have a pretty deep voice for a girl, but I sing first soprano. So kiss my arse.
