The Quote of the Day from one year ago!

James Arnold Taylor (+2)
"My career as a voice actor started a long time ago in a studio far, far away."

Abel G. Pena (+3)
"Teshik's execution was nothing necessarily just, just politics as usual. Someone prominent had to take the fall for the atrocities committed by the Empire, but with Vader and Palp both already dead, only the GA in charge of the Core and that held off the Rebels for hours after the Death Star's destruction made a suitable showstopper. Tragically, Teshik was perhaps the least 'evil' of the GAs. Life's tough."

"WNYX news time, 1247 mark 59. Tragedy struck today in Sector 9, as rebel terrorists blew up the Death Star, killing thousands. The Rebel Alliance, a fringe group of Anti-Empire fanatics, has claimed responsibility for the terrorist act. Fortunately, Lord Vader escaped without harm. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims."

Stephen Colbert (+1)
"What the hell is Chewie doing in Wonderland? Chewbacca&hellip; would never sip tea or play croquet using flamingos as mallets! That is so not canon! He is a ferocious Wookiee smuggler who travels the galaxy seeking his fortune never leaving Han Solo's side as payment for the Life Debt incurred when Han refused to kill Chewie at Imperial command! &hellip; I would love to see the Queen of Hearts try to execute Chewbacca; with one snap of those mighty Wookiee paws, it would be off with her head! Plus&hellip; when would he find time to leave his home world of Kashyyyk to join the Mad Hatter at the White House? He doesn't even celebrate Halloween; he celebrates Life Day with his father, Itchy, his wife, Malla, and his son, Lumpy. Everybody knows that, no matter how much George Lucas wants us to forget 1978's The Star Wars Holliday Special."

- Stephen Colbert's rant about Chewbacca greeting children at the White House's Alice in Wonderland-themed Halloween party

Cloak of Deception (+4)
"It was theorized&mdash;by those who devoted themselves to such things&mdash;that one could fall from the roof of the senate dome and land directly in the medcenter at which the delegates enjoyed exclusive privilege, assuming, of course, that the winds that blew through Coruscant's chasms were just right, and that one managed to miss being struck by passing vehicles during the plunge through the traffic lanes. A safer and more certain method for arriving intact at the Galactic Senate Medcenter was to ride a turbolift from the rotunda, or be delivered there by skycar, as Senator Palpatine had chosen to do."

MedStar I: Battle Surgeons (+1)
"The spymaster on Drongar had sent yet another of a series of all-too-frequent communications. It was irritating. Of the dozens of coded messages that had been sent, none had yet offered anything of substance. The messages were trivial intelligence, along the lines of "Keep an eye on the bota "... useless in general, and a particular waste of time to a field agent in Column's circumstance. It took hours to decode the blasted things, which were Feraleechi onetime loops. In a dull, repetitive, manual process a cipher was partially decoced, using a keyword in the early-morning holonews. This gave a series of numbers that were then keyed to a particular textbook available on the library 'cast, always something so boring that reading it aloud could stop a full-scale cantina riot dead&mdash;Aridian Procedures for Developement of Agricultural Fertilizer on Lythos Nine or some such mindless twaddle. Then it had to be translated from Basic into Symbian, a language dead, but unfortunately not buried, for thirty thousand years, and every sixth word transposed. The end of all this labor was usually a message along the lines of, "How's it going?""
