The Quote of the Day from one year ago!

Abel G. Pena (+7)
"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."

- Abel G. Peña, on Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik

"There's a profound moment in the oft-lamented Star Wars Holiday Special, when Jefferson Starship frontman Marty Balin looks skyward as he ponders lyrically, "Yes, I would really like to know. What are they watching us for?""

"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."

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 decoded, 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 Development 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?""
