Actually Racial purity in the Waffen SS is a myth, an entire SS division was made up of Hollanders.

-That- I did not know. Do you have a link/know of a good book with good info?

Myth or not, that's where I get my Stormtrooper POV from.

Interesting. I know the Albanians had some resistance against the Ottoman Empire, but I didn't know they were involved with the SS. It makes me want to trace my heritage.

My guild in SWG was having a few issues in a city in Talus. We're all Stormtroopers, and our Detachment is stationed there, Dearic. Our daily mission is to search nearby cities and scan for any rebel disturbance. So in one city, we find a rebel disturbance and the guild who runs it says we have no authority there. Does a Stormtrooper Detachment have authority planet wide, or just where they're assigned?

Also, just to point this out, stormtroopers aren't exclusively human.

The human supremecy deal was during Palpatine's reign. It went into decline though, and non-humans were allowed into the ranks.

Says 3 decades after the New Order. I'm confused as to when it was A/B BY

I DEMAND A REASON FOR THIS s**t!

/shrug

I don't follow that s**t (The Clone Wars).

How was the episode with the Mandalorians?  

[Darkened Angel]

Death Watch, a splinter group of the Mandalorians, are in cahoots with Dooku and want to start crap to cause Republic intervention. That will mean the Republic will occupy their system, and Death Watch will get to fight against them, being viewed as liberators by the Mandalorian masses.

This is opposed to the normal Mandalorians, who apparently are a bunch of pacifists that don't wanna get involved in any battle.

Yeah, you can't avoid getting soaked by that massive flood of continuity. confused  

[Valkore Fraust]

I try not to care anymore. Hahah

I wonder. What are the humps Scout Troopers have on their backs? Does it contain gear, or does it contain tech?

Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter. You seriously didn't know about this Des?
On the night this s**t aired I threw down a massive piece of nerdrage in the rant thread.
Back in January.

Family Guy has turned me onto a mystery that I simply MUST know the answer to.

Why, at the end of Empire Strikes Back, is Lando wearing Han's clothing when he is piloting the Millenium Falcon? I've seen it before, but it never registered in my mind until just now.  

[Valkore Fraust]

Han Solo is awesome. Who wouldn't want to be in his position for a day? xD  

[Sol Walker]

I dunno, during the whole torture thing and being frozen in carbonite, I really wouldnt want to be in his boots.  

[ElladanKenet]

Probable cause is Lando didn't have time to grab anything before fleeing Cloud City, and Han happened to have a change of clothes lying about in the Falcon.

After all, it's at least two days from Hoth to the Rendezvous Point. Bespin's farther.
