The Quote of the Day from ago!

Richard Marquand (+4)
"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."

- Richard Marquand, in 1983

"I still think the Lusankya erupting from underneath the cityscape of Coruscant might be the goofiest thing in the entire EU – the only way it could be goofier would be if her bridge crew were Jaxxon, Reist and Waru. I mean, really – how would any of that have worked?"

Daniel Wallace (+6)
"The Nintendo 64 game Shadows of the Empire had some fun highlights including a bunch of rampaging wampas as you escaped from Echo Base. To create additional enemies on the cheap, LucasArts copied the wampa model, colored it brown, and set it down on the rocky trails of Gall. This was the first variant in what would evolve into the "swamp wampa" in Mysteries of the Sith. I love it when the Expanded Universe gets enriched through incidental cost-cutting."

Telegraph (+6)
"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."

Bounty Hunter Wars (+6)

Galaxy at War (+1)
"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."
