Have they stated anything to contradict the Sourcebook information I added to
discussion, or does it merely not get in the way of "canon"? If it does,
please point too where. I am sorry, but every time I enter a Star Wars debate
somebody gets upset about what I write. I supose it makes me tense... No
offense taken and I hope not to offend you. I've taken a 10 second time out
and feel better now :)
Best wishes on recovering insanity (?),
