Femi Taylor (+7)

Comments

 * 1) If anyone needs a reason to vote against this, take this stupid statement from the Blue Milk page: I have to say I think Jedipedia does a far superior job to the bloated and poorly organized Wookieepedia. One perfect example is the entry on Palpatine. Where Wookieepedia has a monstrous 120+ page mess (enough to inspire this very joke by BMS), Jedipedia is far more succinct and structured. Let me make this perfectly clear. 120 pages of text. Just about Palpatine. That’s the sort of out of control monster that is Wookieepeida. Thank you Jedipedia for existing. Your Palpatine article is 25 pages. Yes. I have too much time on my hands. Well, not really. I just grossly misuse my time. I sometimes wonder if people can actually comprehend what I’m telling them when I say that Wookieepedia has a 120+.: I'm German and I know Jedipedia. It is fine, but this statement is incorrect.

Bad Movie Physics: A Report Card (+7)
"To some extent, it's understandable that space adventures play fast and loose with physics. After all, who wants to watch Han Solo spend years on the journey to Alderaan, only to find that the planet has twice Earth gravity and he can barely stand up, much less swagger?"

Lost Tribe of the Sith: Secrets (+7)
"Unfazed [by her husband's death], the widow Hilts soldiered on, targeting the faction leader for seduction the very next week. Minions carefully delivered her to the leader’s private bedchambers in a massive ceremonial urn. Unfortunately, the lid was stubborn, and no one had told her the leader was spending the month campaigning in the high country. However, she did achieve her surprise, if the horror of the cleaning servants counted."

- Varner Hilts remembers the circumstances of his mother's death

"The blaster fire from the compound continued, like the electrical discharge of a distant storm. Someday, Fett supposed, the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild would be nothing but memory. But not his; he had no use for memory. All remembering was in vain. .."
