Here's the deal on the Kessel Run:
I don't think that they meant a parsec as a unit of time. Perhaps the Kessel Run is I fact a series of maneuvers and/or specialized tactics that have to be done within a unit of distance, for instance, a reverse 40-yard dash. How far can he go in 4.5 seconds?

That would be grammatically incorrect though.

As you all know, I love this movie and am anxiously awaiting the DVD release.  It's so good.

Episode VII was great. I think it's probably my second favourite (after Empire). Though there were a few illogical things.
What illogical things are you referring to?

The idea of the Starkiller Base itself. It is built into a planet (meaning it can't move) and yet it is said that it destroys a sun every time it is used. They are in a monosolar galaxy, meaning the Base could only feasibly be used once. There were probably more, but I can't remember them.

Huh.  I think I might've considered that already, but you mean the galaxy as in every planetary system and star, right?

Sorry, I was being stupid. They live on a monosolar planet, in any case. Whereas some SW planets, such as Tatooine, are duosolar.

Yeah, I was a tad confused for a sec by what you said. :P

At any rate, that does seem to be a difficulty.  However, this guy named Pablo Hidalgo (he's part of the Lucasfilm Story Group) made a statement on his Twitter saying that Starkiller Base is, in fact, mobile.  Not definitely canon, but he probably knows something about it. :P

Also, I heard that according to the movie novelization, they don't actually use the sun's power to blow up systems - they use the power to collect dark energy called quintessence, which they then shoot at the systems.  *shrugs*

So... does anyone like the Clone Wars TV show?  We're working our way through it - right now we're in the middle of season two.  Anakin and Ahsoka are the best.

CW is one of my favourite TV shows ever, though Season 1 isn't the best.

Why not?

I'm not sure what my favorite episode is so far - there are so many good ones!  "The Deserter" and "Brain Invaders" are pretty good.  I was kinda horrified when Barriss killed that clone named Trap with her saber, though.  I mean, sure, he was attacking her, but it was the worm's fault, not his. :-\

From what I remember, Season 1 was very basic and safe, and not as in depth and interesting as the rest of the series.

I loved CW, especially the Maul and Ompress story line.

So you've seen the whole show?  Is there anything (besides violence) that might be considered objectionable?  My younger siblings are all watching it as well.

I've seen it too, I'm not the biggest fan of it, I found it too be a little too toned down. And there were a few episodes featuring Padmae and politics that made me want to ram a needle in my eye. Also the droids are pathetic, and everyone in the series makes terrible military choices. But there are a few gems mixed in there, especially season four featuring the clone Arc troopers and none of the other main characters. (Jedi/Sith/Politics) are all blissfully absent in a few.

As for your question Jukka there is nothing, other then a bit of kissing as far as I can remember. The closest it ever comes is the jokes some of the Mandalorian Death Watch make. But never anything bad.
