That has nothing to do with any of the questions I had asked, none of them were
as trivial as that. If you've read the books(say the KJA trilogy) you're going
to remember that the Acadamy was on Yavin 4 and that Xar Kun was the dark jedi
knight who turned Kyp Durran against Luke. There were a couple of questions that
you might have to look back to a book to find the answer for though.

I don't think I ever said "if you can't answer these questions you aren't really
a SW fan", because if I had that would mean that I am not a true SW fan because
I couldn't have answered all those questions without the help of a book. Oh,
like you're really a SW encyclo. for remembering some of the things that
happened in the books you've read.

I'd like you to prove that those questions were mere "minute details". The way
this came across was that you just felt like being sarcastic and thought that
this would be a way to let it out. If that's not what you
meant please forgive me but it came across to me that way.
