Hey Brendan,
Great work as always. I see you got the bounty hunter pursuit. :) Looks
like you got the Republic Gunship, too. That's surprising as it seems to
not be a very useful set for your purposes (aside from Jimmy the Generic
Jedi). I've only read a few of the stories thus far, so will have more
comments later.
One point of contention. You put that Leah has "lovely eyes". I don't read
Hebrew, but I looked at a number of translations (at
http://bible.gospelcom.net/ a fairly useful site) and see this translated as
"weak eyes", "delicate eyes" and "tender eyes". The New Living Bible does
give "pretty eyes", but notes that the Hebrew is unclear and it could be
"dull eyes". Most analyses I've looked at have held that Leah had some
deformity of the eyes--that she was cross eyed or something like that.
Especially as this is contrasted with Rachel, who is lovely in every way.
This sets up the rivalry between the older, ugly, unloved sister and the
younger, prettier, loved sister. So, anyway, I think you went with the
minority translation of "lovely eyes" when the majority opinion is that
there was something wrong with her eyes.
Oh, nice use of the double-sided Mary Jane Watson head to show the
distraught Leah in the background, btw.
Bruce
