The Quote of the Day from ago!

Richard Marquand (+5)
"I'd like to do one of the early ones. I'm already fascinated with them, the way society works in these early ones is something that appeals to me very much. It sounds like a very intriguing world."

Colonel Sanders (+7)
"At age 65, armed with nothing more than determination, a bucket of chicken and a secret recipe, Colonel Harland Sanders started KFC and had the whole universe lickin' its fingers a few years later. His reputation as a force to be reckoned with makes him a natural when it comes to showing the Dark Side who's boss. Any Battle Droid messing with the Colonel had better watch out, because this time, he's serving up a bucket full of pain."

The Chihuahua (+6)
"A true dog of the people, the Chihuahua has tirelessly devoted his life to one thing&mdash;the pursuit of tacos. This kind of dedication has allowed him to heighten his natural skills of navigation, negotiation and general deviousness. Now he is putting his considerable talents to work fighting the ultimate evil in the universe. Because, he rationalizes, when the universe is free, the tacos are free. In the meantime, he's confident he'll get that Jedi mind trick to work eventually."

Telegraph (+7)
"Such is the cultish devotion to the Star Wars brand, there are hundreds upon hundreds of well-maintained fan sites, covering every last minutiae of the fictional universe. Some choice favourites include Star Wars Resort ('wouldn't it be cool if there were a Star Wars theme park?'), and The Mos Eisley Football League ('the fantasy football league for Star Wars fans'). As far as killer names go, however, 'Wookieepedia' brooks no comparison."

Galaxy at War (+3)
"The battlefield weapons of Star Wars are both spectacular and brutally efficient. Consider that the typical nonheroic character has 4 hit points and a Damage Threshold of 10 at first level. Next, take into account that a blaster rifle deals 3d8 damage on a hit, with an average damage of 13 or 14. Obviously, a single hit from such a weapon is enough to kill a lower-level NPC. Heroic characters, even with their higher hit point totals, are not immune to such damage. An average first-level soldier can take only three such hits. Even taking into account the variables granted by catching a second wind or spending a Force Point, that soldier is reduced to a stage that makes him or her combat ineffective unless medical attention is received. Combat in Star Wars is a deadly business."

Boba Fett (+5)
"Throughout the vast reaches of the galaxy&mdash;wherever fugitives met or lawbreakers conspired&mdash;one name was always uttered in hushed tones&hellip; A name guaranteed to strike fear into the stoutest heart. Some said he was a Mandalore warrior, others that he merely wore the Mandalore battle suit because of its unrivaled killing power. The truth was impossible to confirm, for none had seen the face that gazed with merciless eyes from within that battered helmet&mdash;none, at least, who had lived to tell the tale. What no one had doubted was that Boba Fett was the most heartless being in the universe."
