Well I'll add my .02 worth.
With TPM I didn't mind a 10 year old kid as anakin but I wondered since nothing special was happening with him, why start at that age? I think that the introduction to Anakin would have been better around the AotC time frame, of this young jedi padawan who shows exceptional skill and ability - so much that masters yoda and windu can't explain his abilities. IMHO tpm is essentially pointless to the over all star wars saga. It had cool parts like the podrace and final lightsaber tri-duel between qgg, obi and maul. But I remember thinking when I first saw it, 'it doesn't seem like "star wars" to me'.  But 16 years of expectations is hard to live up to. I think AotC was much better - story, acting and dialoge (though still not on the level of lotr or matrix) but way better than tpm. But the acting and dialoge in the OT weren't shakspear either. Oh well it's just a movie.  

I would definatley buy the sandcrwler!!!

yep after the re-shuffle the love birds amber and robfatehr get broken up. one of thems bound to go soon. But i'm leaming towards rob, rupert or big tom. don't care about the rest.

EP3: General Grievous Officially Confirmed
Fri, Feb 13, 04 03:41:47 PM EST

In an official Lucasarts press release for the upcoming game "Republic Commnado", we finally got confirmation of a character that has been long discussed among spoiler junkies:

Marin County, Calif. - February 13, 2004 - Enter the covert world of the Star Wars infantry for the first time and become a member of an elite Republic Special Operations unit in LucasArts new squad based first-person shooter, Star Wars Republic Commando. Set during the Clone Wars, between Attack of the Clones and the upcoming Star Wars: Episode III, Star Wars Republic Commando will be released fall 2004 for the PC and Xbox® video game system from Microsoft.
Mission briefings set the tone in this dark first-person shooter, as players lead their squads on a variety of assignments such as hostage rescue, infiltration/data retrieval, elimination, assault, sabotage and reconnaissance operations. Your three-man team is controlled through an intuitive and accessible "smart squad" command system, based on squad markers and stances. The game features more than fifteen levels, with exercises covering both familiar and new Star Wars settings and characters, including the introduction of the mysterious General Grievous and his deadly bodyguards from the upcoming Star Wars: Episode III.

in a Kasay-vinaterii kick-off!
 

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. I remember last year a group of people here, including myself were going to write a Clone Wars story. Only a little done with it at the time.  
I continue to write SW fan fiction and have recently started a new short story based on a mission with an ARC trooper squad.  If there is any interest I can post it here. Also if the story we started last year is still in the works, I'd be interested.

thanks

I was tryin gto dis you guys, just be a fan who is THRILLED beyond belief that the Panthers are in the SB.. But I hope it is a good game and not a blow out, by either team.  IT'll be defense against defense plus maybe a turn over or two.
