Will you turn to the Dark Side?

Tales of the Jedi comics are the best out there,

Maybe I'm not putting this right in context, but what do you mean by this? The Tales of the Jedi (and associated Sith Wars, or whatever they were called) series of comic books are about the worst offenders in terms of having nothing whatsoever to do with Star Wars other than a few swiped names. Most particularly, they didn't feel at all like Star Wars. Or are those two completely disassociated series I'm thinking of?

They feel like Star Wars to me...and to George Lucas, actually. But EU is really even more love it or hate it than the Prequels are.

Hey, I'm on fire! Gotta keep posting while the iron's hot.

Besides I've got a week and a half of vacation coming up; I won't be around that entire time. Gotta keep my average up before Henry or Darkness passes me up.

I would say 'good' that your disappearing so I have a chance to catch up...but our little conversations are really helping boost my postcount. Bring a laptop or something with you!

The Mandalorians are a group of warriors who wear the mandalorian armor. They may have been named after a specific type of metal, but that is irrelevant to the impending invasion.

I've heard of the whole Mandalorian race thing before (from the Marvel comics, I believe?), and I also remember all the early speculation that Attack Of The Clones would feature a battle between Jedi and Mandalorians that would arrive from jump ships someplace called "Concord Dawn." But its all hooey. The source I rely on is a mention made in one of the novels (I can't to be honest remember which one at the moment, but I'm wanting to say it was "Tales of the Bounty Hunters"), which is newer and which Lucas has at least given the status of canon-until-I-specifically-say-it-isn't. And that says it is a material.

George has this way of saying stuff is "quasi-canon" and then changing his mind later on. Which only confuses his fans. But it'd be nice to have any sort of organization that has non-humans in it that aren't into crime (the Hutts). I mean, c'mon, the freakin' EMPIRE is nothing but humans! Although our con favorite author Tim Zahn introduced the first non-human high ranking individual, Admiral Thrawn. But then the novels are not considered canon by "The Man".

Sure they could - they could play off the idea that you see the rainbow at the end of a 40 day storm.

But my robes are black and purple denim, actually. (Denim is nice for the armor bonus.)

Which beats rainbow. But then add in blue and someone would wonder who beat the crap out of a "deity".......

Torm's robes.... designed by Tommy Hilfiger.

Well, "The Man" doesn't decide what's Canon and what isn't. There's a whole division of Lucas Licensing devoted to it. And according to them:

"Things that Lucas Licensing does not consider official parts of the continuous Star Wars history show an Infinities logo or are contained in Star Wars Tales. Everything else is considered canon. -Sue Rostoni, Editor Lucasfilm Licensing in Star Wars Gamer #6, Oct/Nov. 2001 Issue pg#113."

Proving once and for all that Boba Fett did NOT die in the sarlac pit.

Sue Rostoni is "The Man?!"
