  1. A sample from the travel guide.....

    Chapter 7: Jawas Can Be Your Friends

    To most humans, dealing with the Jawas of Tatooine, even the friendlier ones, is a sensory ordel. The plain truth is that Jawas, no matter how freshly washed, smell lika a rancid load of eopie cuds. This odor seems to be inherent to their skin chemistry. Everyone at the Baobab Archives is trained to be excessively tolerant of the diversity of alien habits and associated physical characteristics, and we strive to be unbiased toward any species in any way. However, short of jamming the nose shut with Imperial poxy or donning airtight, self-contained breathing apparatus, those offensive Jawa odor molecules find a way into the sensory system of any breathing creature, sentient or not. Only with staunch discipline can a human maintain full mental focus while inhaling near a Jawa. My only advice is to try to just stare the Jawa in the eyes and ignore the smell. Practice these phrases before each encounter:

    Greetings!

    M'um m'aloo!

    I am a friend.

    K'masa nu eyeta.

    Want to buy a used droid?

    Utoo nye usabia atoonyoba?

    Show me the credits.

    Shumeneez un toyneepa.

    This is mine, all mine!

    A beton nya mombay m'bwa!

    Hands off!

    Togo togu!

    Don't shoot!

    Ny shootogawa!

    Give it back!

    Tandi kwa!

    Let's go. Go!

    Ashuna! Ashuna!

    ........

    This is 2 pages out of the total 175. ;)

  2. I have read a fair few but couldnt name them all. Ive read all the big ones. I think Micheal A Stackpole and Timothy Zahn are the best.

    The reason I can name them is that I have almost all of them. ;)

    @Anakin

    See you have red about the same stuff. Still I just don't feel like the JJK, YJK, NJO books has the same feeling to them as the others. That's why I haven't gone through them. I haven't reed much of the pre-Yavin books becouse I simply haven't had the time. But I'm gonna get more into those.

    The 1 thing I really want to read but haven't been able to get a complete copy of is the Empire Trilogy. I see you have reed them, I have reed most of it but missed a few scatered issues in all 3 of them. Which really annoys me, and the comic albums are out of print and hard as hell to find.

    Besides the book I also have lot's of other stuff..... Been a Star Wars fan since I was little. Couldn't avoid it, I grew up in it. I was born the year before the first film so guess what kind of toys I got as a child. :lol:

    Have all 7 "Essential" guides, as well as the "New" version of the character guide. Star Wars Lexicon and some other books like concept art and stuff.

    Got all SW PC games from X-Wing on floppy until today, all original of course. :)

    The complete translated SW pnp RPG.

    Limited edition VHS THX collectors boxset, 20000 made. That's the last version released of the original trilogy without the reworked scenes and stuff. Plus it has over 4 hours of extra stuff and lots of books and things.

    Original Trilogy Special Edition Trilogy LD boxset.

    Ep 1 & 2 DVD sets.

    A ###### load of the original SW toys. Including Millenium Falcon, X-Wing, lots of other vehicles and about 80 figures. Almost all still in good shape. I think the new toys from the 90's look like crap btw. :rolleyes:

    Models, cups and whatever I have found around where I live. To bad I live in Sweden or I guess I would have found more. :wub::rolleyes:

    Besides all that and back to books, my overall favorite book has to be "Star Wars - Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide". :lol: Just becouse it's a really odd one. :P

  4. I'm kind of bored with Jedi. It's ok to have Jedi in the story and so as they are a big part of the universe, but I don't really like centering the story on them. Like th stories of the "normal" people better. Luke is simply to naive to like and he has turned the Jedi the wrong way for me.... More books on bounty hunters, commando unit, squadrons and stuff. That's more my thing. "I,Jedi" and the Jedi Academy Trilogy is the best part of the jedi centered books in my oppinion as well.

  5. There are now reticule fixes for 1.4.2. And the ones that where for 1.4.1 didn't work well either as they were not made right. They changed the weapons in other ways, like sound, as they where not made last of all moddifications to the weapons. :sheep: Which was dumb.

    I don't really know why I didn't include it now as well.... I had deleted the 1.4.1 fixes early on as they where no good anyhow anymore. Then I guess I forgot to make a new one as the reticules have never been an issue to me.

    But I can make a patch if you want.

  6. I liked all books by Michael A. Stackpole and Aaron Allston the most. That would include "I, Jedi" as well. Simply becouse they don't deal with the main characters directly, still they are in the surrounding and come into the story now and then. And like you I don't really like the "New Jedi Order" period. Staying in the New Republic era before that.

  7. I think we have. And I don't think anything you've posted is threatening in any way. Becouse I know that whatever parts of the GR community will survive in the end will most likely end up here as this is the site that is posting most news and keeping GR players updated.

    I always liked the work squad and it was used in the beginning at some length.... Then somehow it got turn back to clan....

    And I guess I have a soft spot for getting tired of people who don't know how to use computers at the level they should if they want to be doing what they ask. :( I used to work support part-time for a computer company when I was still studying..... I just can't get it out of my head that if you want to use something you should read everything you can find about it before asking to many questions.... but that me. :sheep:

  8. I don't think you have offended me in any way and I haven't tried to offend you if you think that. We just have differnet oppinions. And I think you don't get my point with the previous post. It's not that I think your doing something wrong by posting here. I just explained why I, personally, don't go there anymore. Don't know if it has become any better in the year I haven't dropped by there but I actually doubt it as officiall forums always end up that way for all games.

    I think you have all the right to ask people to come there and I know there are people in those forums that like it that way. No need to delete this topic becouse I have another oppinion.

    EDIT: But then again I'm publicly known to be against the clan type people. ;) And by clan type people I'm talking about those who like games like Quake/Unreal/HL/CS..... But I still have many friends that are of that type. :P
