*******************************************


Gather 'round folks, time for another Hey Squadron Report.

I looked around wided-eyed at the mess I'd made of Osan'gar's office.
My
two weeks as Acting Commander of Hey Squadron had a been a blast. I'd
gotten to sit in Os's big comfy CMDR's chair, much is much more
comfortable
than my normal Flight Leader chair. Watched DVDs on Os's begger
entertainment system. Suddenly the office door opened, Ferret had come
to
remind me to turn in a squadron report. And just when Blade Runner was
getting to my favorite part, too. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the
special Ferret diversion hat. It was buried under the pizza boxes and
beer
bottles. *sigh*

Episode II Title: Attack of the Clones
06:39 - AD Jarak Maldon [jarak@stny.rr.com]
The title for the next installment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy
will be
entitled Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Like most Star
Wars
titles, this is a very blunt to-the-point title similar in such to
Return of
the Jedi. The following is taken from the news report posted on
starwars.com:


"starwars.com is pleased to announce that Star Wars: Episode II Attack
of
the Clones is the full title for the next Star Wars film, scheduled for
release in 2002. Attack of the Clones joins The Phantom Menace, A New
Hope,
The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as chapter titles in the
six-episode Skywalker saga. It harkens back to the sense of pure fun,
imagination and excitement that characterized the classic movie serials
and
pulp space fantasy adventures that inspired the Star Wars saga."

Hammer
Timeline which involves the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn is set to

Hammer. Thus we need your help in order to complete this, so if you are
any
