"The three people who disagree with us and are wrong about this may be very vocal, but that doesn't make them a majority." No offense, but the whole reason why any of us are arguing this point at all is because there is no right or wrong i.e. there has been no published timeline post-movie...

I'm so happy I have End Run. Even if it's the worst bound book I've ever read and its cover separated from the pages first time round. Pretty wicked book innit?

Maybe it's showing how imperfect computer systems are in the future. I mean, what with Bill Gates clones dictating how computers are run for millenia to come. 'Time until Kilrathi fleet enters Earth space, 20 hours...time for Confed fleet to reach Earth space, 22 hours.' or something. I wanted...

Okay LOAF. yknow what, believe what you want, but you're in a minority here. The Lexington, from what I remember, had the implication of a slow death caused by a reactor criticality or something, i.e. not a sudden destruction, which is less likely to leave a carcass. I'm a little sick of...

"(Which is to say, this thread was nice and pleasant until you started being stupid. Say it with me now... DON'T BE STUPID!)" LOAF do you also have to resort to name calling? "- There's only one Iason -- with two captains of the same name" Only if we subscribe to your '1 Iason' theory...

muthical?mythical

I know it's a muthical name; it can still be rationalised though (isn't all this about rationalising?)

sorry LOAF I didn't see your last post before I started composing. Hushing now. These forums move fast.

additional sources: http://www.peak.org/peak_info/mlists/info/prequels.html (an interview from a sci-fi mag). Fact remains that you said that GL gave him the word 'Coruscant', where as actually it *was* Zahn who created it (my original argument). Of course it had to be approved by LucasFilm...

If it was a different Captain Andropolis (sp?) later posted to the *same* ship, then it would be the same as the Bush thing. However, this is two *totally different ships* which *just happen to have the same name* and *just happen to have the same named captain* and *just happen to be destroyed...

No, it's like there being two different countries called the United States (a common enough phrase), with presidents of the same name. Come on, this is *such* a reach and you know it. The author of the book said that it's all deliberately meant to be a different story and everything. At least be...

A transcript of a chat with Tim Zahn: <TimZahn> The idea of the Imperial Planet was from GL. I merely gave it a name, which he chose to accept. Again, an unexpected honor you can find this at http://members.tripod.com/~LMS_/transcriptzahn.htm So I was mostly right. Zahn took the planet...

No the cityscape idea is nothing new. However Zahn's adaptation of it was *his* decision. I can't prove that right and and you quite honestly can't prove it's not. However as a self-confessed Star Wars junkie for six years this is what I'd always known as confidently as eggs is eggs. I wish I...

"You see, now you're misinterpreting what I said. I am not saying that anyone is wrong for having their own opinions. That's just silly. However, there are a few people who think that, just because something makes sense in their minds, their opinions are reason enough to change the way things...

So there are two Iasons, both captained by someone of the same name, both attacked and destroyed by Kilrathi, with 15 years between them. What sort of pathetic explaination is that?

I think it'd be difficult to novelise the Prophecy era, since the Nephilim are so underdeveloped compared to, say, the Kilrathi. Maybe if someone were to come along who wished to develop the aliens then that would be great but there is very little to go on, and I don't think Forstchen would...

p.s. still waiting for the Iasons problem to be explained.

Last time I checked, it was Zahn who invented Coruscant. Ask anyone on RASSM or TFN. There was a little concept art scrapped in 1981 or whatever and then Zahn took the concept of a central megatropolis and expanded on it. Hence everyone's 'wow GL respects Zahn' thing that was flying around circa...

Okay, alright, sorry for the less-than-witty anecdote. I would call it more disgusting than stupid, but evidently a lot of people here are as tightly wound as a certain ship captain who gets rammed by a strakha. I would ask you not to judge me by one silly joke which clanged, because I find that...

Tye Dye boy: you're way uptight man. If I was a lesser person, I'd be hurt by your comments. But I'm not. Lighten up for your own sake. I'm sorry your goldfish died or whatever, but don't take it out on me. I'm not disrespecting the person, it was just something that came to mind.
