Star Wars is also laced with quite a few errors that were never caught, like Chewie breaking a floor panel in Cloud City, LOL.
But yeah, I have no gripe with things such as the downed AT-AT blowing up, since that doesn't really hold any impact on the overall plot. When I was younger, I was under the impression they focused on the neck since that lacked armor, and somehow I did mind gymnastics to justify that's how it blew up.

Dark Horse owns the rights to AvP stuff.

When did this happen (I know it was ESB, but I never remembered anything like that)? Also, if the EU is to be counted for anything, Chewbacca is fairly strong. When Han said that Wookiees tear people's arms off, he was serious. Chewbacca did that to a Nightsister in The Courtship of Princess Leia, and several Wookiees did that to Imperial soldiers in Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. He has also lifted a massive crate and thrown it at people, for instance. Dark Horse owns the rights to AvP stuff. Translation: I'm waiting for Fett vs Predator/Aliens. LOL.

Broke as in stepped on it...as in messed up the set, lol. I don't recall the exact moment, but I'm sure you can easily google for the answer if you search anything like "Chewbacca cloud city step" or whatever.
How's the new Clone Wars cgi series? I say new because I view the 2003 cartoon as the "old" Clone Wars series.

I don't recall the exact moment, but I'm sure you can easily google for the answer if you search anything like "Chewbacca cloud city step" or whatever. Oh. I guess I just never noticed that. How's the new Clone Wars cgi series? I say new because I view the 2003 cartoon as the "old" Clone Wars series. I only watched the first season and a couple episodes of the second. After that, I became too preoccupied with other matters to watch it through. At some point, I plan to catch up. As for quality, it was okay. I certainly have never had as many problems with it as most people do, but I will point out some flaws: voice acting is terrible; the character designs look silly (granted, it is a children's show); the concept of Anakin having an apprentice does not sit well with me; the clones seem to have too much individuality at times, even though they have been shown with some personality in the novels/comics, it is just more so with the show; and lastly, the Clone Wars time period is already so overpacked with comics and novels that the show just seems unneeded, and I actually wonder how LucasArts plans to organize all of the events in it now once they release another chronology (this happened to the Rebellion era too; there are too many stories during the Galactic Civil War). A few points of interest to you, k4tz: Darth Maul apparently has a brother in that show named Savage (pronounced So-vau-ge) Opress. And apparently, Darth Maul will be returning in an upcoming episode. Now, as I said, I am not up to date with it, but honestly, do we really need more Maul clones and resurrections? He has already been brought back like three times. I remain skeptical.

Yup, it has Maul's bro, Maul's return, and Grievous. So you can understand why I'm curious.

So, if the back cover is accurate (not misleading cover is not misleading), Maul may appear in the upcoming Darth Plagueis novel. In some ways, I like this because it fits continuity: Sidious had already been training Maul for a few years before he killed Plagueis. However, Maul's involvement will detract from what I really want to read about: Plaguies primarily and Sidious training under Plaguies secondarily.

I guess.
Not sure we really need his involvement though. There will already be a book that will follow Maul's life released early next year called The Wrath of Darth Maul (it follows the same formula as The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader or The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi). I understand why Luceno would want to include him as far as continuity is concerned; I just wonder what exactly his contribution to the story will be.
