Here's another what-if:

Instead of Harrison Ford, what would Han solo, and consequently corellians, be like if he was portrayed by Nick Nolte?

Nick Nolte?... that would be odd. I like Harrison Ford being Han Solo to a point where it's difficult to see someone else portay Han Solo.

I do have a question for everyone, and i'm hoping this isn't a repeat question... It's about Vader.

Why is it, that they didn't clone replacement parts for him instead? I guess for me, i'd rather be more organic, than machine.... But did they ever explain why?  

[Sol Walker]

The Emperor wanted to control Vader. Being a machine, his power was severely reduced and his survival depended on the Emperor to keep his cybernetics operational.  

[Jaden_Ordo]

Which was a damn shame. Vader would've been insanely powerful if he were completely organic.

Here's a huge Valkore mystery...

Why can't we have a Yuuzhan Vong War FPS? crying  

[Valkore Fraust]

Does the time in the Star Wars universe go by a 24hr clock? If so, does it change on a Star Destroyer?  

[Sol Walker]

Yes. Most Imperial ships go by Coruscant Standard time. It usually only changes to acclimate soon-to-be-deployed soldiers to the local time on the planet they're about to take.
And most independent ships keep time by the clock of their home port.  

[Valkore Fraust]

CST, hah. Thanks a bunch.  

[Rodyn]

Where in the galaxy is Carmen Coruscant?  

[Darkened Angel]

Here's something I was just thinking about.

What's the precentage of all capital ships, across all factions, that can and can't make planetfall?

Like, I've heard that a Nebulon frigate can't make planetfall because of its design, but a corvette can, etc.  

[Sol Walker]

Most things above corvettes and frigates are space only.  

[Des Voh]

What about at the end of Ep.II and multiple other times, we saw Venator-class or a similar ship having clones loaded onto it while on Coruscant.  

[Sol Walker]

Hence why I said most.  

[stellarmagic]

I think an ISD can make planetfall, but needs some modifications to do it. We've seen them in atmosphere every once in awhile but it's rare.  

[Valkore Fraust]

Hm. They just send out shuttles, right? I think tactically, it's not a good idea. And I bet it'd cost a pretty.. credit chip.. To get it to land.

lol I just imagined landing gear on it :O

Starkiller's memorable act of Force Grip.
