I'm asking because the EU bases characters on their       interpretation of the movies, and official backstory created after the SE       would also incorporate it based on what we see, not what we once saw.                     --       Sandman[.net]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
