Angela: I've been talking to WhiteBoy about Wikia supporting Celebration IV by donating Wookieepedia merchandise (t-shirts, leaflets, stickers) and paying part of the costs of renting a booth there (which is at least $1300). Money still needs to be raised for Wookieepedians to travel to the event though, and for the rest of the booth costs (perhaps half)

Yuuzhan Vong before the Mandalorian Wars?
Canderous: Your stagnant Republic has never seen some of the strange creatures and races we fought on the Outer Rim in those years. Heh, and you never will now...

Revan: What do you mean?

Canderous: If a world isn't strong enough to defend itself, it's basically forfeit. But this story is about something a little different...

We were going through the asteroid fields of the Crispin system at the very edge of the galaxy, playing with the pirates and smugglers we found there. The main belt of the Crispin system consists of mainly small rocks covered in frozen methane gas shells, and the pirates were using them for cover. Ha -- I remember using a thermal generator to cause the outer layer of one of the asteroids to vaporize in a microsecond. It blew out and shredded the three smugglers using it for cover!

But... that was a mistake...

Revan: Why? What happened?

Canderous: The asteroid I had targeted was smaller than most, maybe a dozen meters on a side. On the outside, it looked the same as any other: just a ball covered in frozen gas. But something must have been inside it... something inactive in the cold. The heat of my blast might have triggered something or woken something up. After I had hit, spots of light and heat appeared all over the thin shell covering it, evaporating the gases.

What lay underneath looked like some sort of rocky growth... a deformed rock pitted by scores of micrometeorite scars. I think something even older might have been inside that.

Revan: An asteroid?

Canderous: Maybe...but maybe not. It started rotating -- faster and faster as we watched it. After a second, it started spraying fire -- thermal projectiles that melted our armor like wax. We were caught completely by surprise. Before we could counterattack, it fled at an incredible speed.

Revan: A ship!

Canderous: We couldn't catch it, but we could follow its hyperspace wake. We followed its trail as far as we could, heading away from the galactic core. When it finally led beyond the edge of our galaxy, we abandoned our efforts. Anything that wants to commit suicide in that great void is not worth our trouble trying to catch.

Kreia equals Kae?
Disciple: As a Padawan, Revan was trained by Master Kae, before she was exiled. Strange, I do not recall who Revan's master was after that. And it is said that he went to his first - and final - master to learn how to leave the order entirely, as she had.

Kreia: He came to me, yes. Both before and after, before Revan knew himself. And after, in the times when Revan was coming into his own and learning he was more than he had been told. At one time, Revan was my Padawan. In times past, long ago. But Revan, when he had learned all he could, had other masters... that fool Zhar, and other Jedi on other planets. He learned from each. But in the end, he turned back to me. When he realized there was nothing more to be learned from the Jedi - except how one could leave them forever.

Geroge Lucas explaining Darth Vader
George Lucas: At this point, Vader’s plan really, now that he knows Luke is his son, is to convince him to come with him. Join the Dark Side and together they’re going to overthrow the Emperor, which is the thematic devices used through the whole movies in terms of the Sith, which is Sith Lords are usually no more than two because if there are three, then two of them will gang up on one to try to become the dominant Sith. Anakin would have been able to do it if he hadn’t been debilitated and now he’s half machine and half man, so he’s lost a lot of the power of the Force, and he’s lost a lot of his ability to be more powerful then the Emperor. But Luke hasn’t. Luke is Vader’s hope. His motives at this point are purely evil. He simply wants to continue on what he was doing before which is get rid of the Emperor and make himself Emperor. He only sees his son as a mechanism for the ambition. His mad lust of power.

-

George Lucas: He's so overwhelming in that first film, but you get to the point where you say, "Wait a minute, if he's so powerful, why doesn't he run the universe?" He even gets pushed around by the governors! They know the Emperor is the final word, so what happens is the same thing that happens in any corporation: Everybody worries about the top man, they don't worry about his goon. And by the time the Death Star is finished, it gives them the sense that they have a bigger, better suit than Darth Vader. In a standoff between the Death Star and Darth Vader, they have no question about who would win, and it's not this mumbo-jumbo Sith guy. So it's even more tragic, because he's not even an all-powerful bad guy, he's kind of a flunky.

Imp-ostors
Somehow I've managed to be impersonated on several occasions here on Wookieepedia. There's the cleverly named ones (ImperialIes and (Imperiаlles), and the less subtle impersonators (Imperialles on a Drakar, Impeer Eialez, Impeer Eialez III, Impeer Eialez Jr.).
