Paul Simpson (+3)
"For some people they are what Star Wars is all about - those moments when the lightsaber blade is ignited and battle commences. But they're not just about action! These confrontations are often the most emotionally charged moments of the saga."

How Star Wars Episode IV Should Have Ended (+1)
"Men, normally with this information, it would take time to make a more intricate plan of attack. However, rather than transmitting the technical readouts of the Imperial battle station, and keeping our hidden rebel base safe, Princess Leia insisted on coming back, knowing full well that her ship was being tracked. In short, we have one chance to make this right, and its all Princess Leia's fault."

Walter Jon Williams (+3)
"First you built droids. And then the droids built a factory &mdash; not for warships, but for more droids. Then the first set of droids, plus the new droids built by the factory, built another factory, and that built ships, while the first factory continued to build new droids to build new factories to build new droids to build new factories to build ships. You could keep going forever building new factories, new droids, and new ships, provided supplies weren't interrupted and someone was willing to pay for it all. Once the cascade started, it just kept growing, and the only way to stop it was to destroy all the factories, ships, and droids, because if just one droid survived, that droid could start the cascade all over again, by building another droid."
