(...) Yuck. I don't consider the X-wing series because it's a game, and most games change things to make them easier to program or more exciting.

(...) In the X-Wing series, it had 3 ion cannons and 3 blasters (which where always changing places on the wings and cockpit, IMHO XWA had the best configuration). If you look at the official LEGO B-Wing, on each wing there is the large standard (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)

Isn't "Astromech" a _type_ of Droid? (as "pickup" is a type of truck, though sometimes used as a noun itself) Interesting curiosity; "Red" - the R2 with a bad motivator that Owen first purchased - is referred to in the script I've got as an (...)
