NEW EH LOGO CONTEST
LucasArts is being picky and says we can't use the Imperial insignia anymore. So, GA Ronin is offering a Grand Order of the Emperor to the person who can come up with a new ORIGINAL logo. Details on tiecorps.org.

LUCASARTS SURVEY
They may just be mocking us, but just in case go to

and tell them not to make anymore Episode I garbage.

This Week's Riddle
Lawyers measure their status by how they carry their papers (not always true, but just assume so for this riddle anyway). The bottom of the totem poll is a guy carrying his papers in his hand, next is a manilla folder thing, next is a plastic folder, then a plastic pouch with a zipper, then a leather pouch, then a reptile skin pouch, then breif cases (cheap to expensive skins), then cases with key locks (cheap to expensive skins), then two key locks, then a combination lock, then a case with double combination locks, then one of those titanium fire-proof/water-proof/bullet-proof cases with double combination locks. Finally, one of those titanium cases and it's handcuffed to the lawyer so that you have to pratically kill the person to steal the papers. What is the next way to carry papers that shows even higher status than that?

Answers (points given: LCM Myn-6pts[2 per submitted question])
Q1. How many squadrons of fighters did the flagship 'Home One' carry?
A1. 10 squadrons of 120 fighters
Q2. Who was the original designer of the ISD?
A2. Lira Wessex
Q3. How many credits over budget was the very first ISD?
A3. 50,000,000 credits (50 million)
Week-before-last's Answers (points given: none)
Q1. What's round and sticky?
A1. A stick!
Q2. Who killed The Boss?
