It also doesn't explain why it's okay to have all sorts of lethal weapons on
the ships, and LEGO has even described them as such (laser cannons), but not
in the hands of the 'figs. Lightsabers are ok too- they are definately lethal
in the right(wrong?) hands. Apparently, two fighter pilots blowing each other
to kingdom come in the blackness of space is ok, and cutting someone down on
thr ground with a lightsaber or from the seat of a speederbike is ok, too, but
shooting someone with a handheld gun is not- unless you're a battle droid! ;)

You're right, but that doesn't explain why, despite their self-imposed ban on "modern weapons", the Wild West cowboys sport revolvers and rifles that could easily pass for currently-produced versions of the weapons. eric (25 years ago, 20-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.starwars)
