In the movies, when you see the Interrogation Droid floating into the cell with that big-ass needle, you just knew that Leia was about to get pumped full of some nasty crap. It naturally brings to mind the drugs that certain Intelligence agencies use as "Truth Serum". It doesn't make you think that Vader is about to "hook her up" with some really good dope.

As far as George Lucas and the EU... well, you just have to take that with a grain of salt. GL said that Boba Fett died in the Sarlacc pit, but in the EU he escaped, was kinda screwed up for about a year, and got back to his life.

As far as GL is concerned, the movies are Star Wars Canon. Period. The books and the EU are more like "it could have happened this way" or "this might have happened like this" or "you could use this story to explain why this happened in this particular way in the movie" As far as the difference between pharmaceutical drugs and recreational ones.... try these. Wellbutrin, penicillin, vaccines, etc... vs. Crack, Extasy, PCP, etc... Kinda self-explanatory.

Wikipedia section on truth serum:

Drugs used for this purpose have included alcohol, scopolamine, and sodium thiopental (more commonly known as sodium pentothal)—all sedatives that interfere particularly with judgement and higher cognitive function. Whilst alcohol is used by this purpose by many individuals in a more innocent sense, it is apparently used by professionals in the areas as well. Initial efforts focused on LSD and doses of barbiturates and then amphetamines given in rapid succession, butgave mixed results, including deaths. SOUNDS LIKE A HOOK UP TO ME. Obviously you've never been the victim of an interrogation using mind-altering or psychotropic drugs. It's not fun, it's not a high, and it's not something you'd pay a dealer to experience.

so if i make a post on this EU allowing imp smuggling can i not refreance other EU?. Go ahead and reference it. Just don't treat it as gospel.

Still dont see you point... cocain was a head ach cure as well as a decongestiant. Cocaine is illegal. Aspirin isn't. Spice is illegal... getting the connection yet?

I think at this point it's just going to be safe to say we're going to agree to disagree and call it quits.

Agghhh!!! Too much coloured text.....going blind......

so if i make a post on this EU allowing imp smuggling can i not refreance other EU?. Go ahead and reference it. Just don't treat it as gospel. I just said it was spice because i to fill it was a truth serum a nasty (mind changeing) mean one at that, and there for something a crime lord like jabba or talon would like to have around. one the empire would certianly wanna keep out of the reach of rebels and there for ban its use. and i think most the EU feels the same.

Still dont see you point... cocain was a head ach cure as well as a decongestiant. Cocaine is illegal. Aspirin isn't. Spice is illegal... getting the connection yet? I agreeLSD is a truth serum and illegal so you may want to buy it off a supplier or hummm a smuggler.

damn, nobody took the Chef bait...

i already forgot who it was<>, but i concur...it's all 'bout the flix - the books, while fun to read, are not to be taken as scripture - prime example, in the "books" Boba Fett was this dude who had the origianl name of Jaryanky McStrokoff or some such silliness which is thoroughly discredited in Ep.2-movie when you learn he's a clone of Jango...the books, while fun, should nevair be used in a doctoral force-religious kinda thesis in any sort of spooning of your point

which leads back to...well, you know

hey! i'm all for folk having fun w/ the game & obviously everyone hear is & the varying topics are groovy to see...keep 'em comin'...you silly *ss Imp smugglers

and by the way...your faux post Alpha_bits was truly funny

and...is pie a spice? hellz yeah...that's why the Illuminati have pavloved yanks into saying that "blah" is as american as pie...think 'bout it...spooky eh?

I didnt jump on the chef bit cause i think everyone agrees an imperial chef is just a navial cook, and thought it was understood that they should only be able to cook hi protien ineatable slop. I mean the game realy falls short on imp cooks and imp poli's I mean everyone knows they are more like political puppits...... and why Im at it Imp bounty hunter please they should be shot, imps hire them on the down low they shouldnt be factioned.... but those all have arguments i couldnt see an imp chef haveing a leg to stand on in this.

i mean all the imp should have is storm troopers call them "carbiners" if you like and "but kissers" call them poli's if you choose... and then rebs are the ones that get the smugglers, bh's, commando's, jedi, squad, leaders, and TKM's. because i seen no ware in the movies were imps had these guys in ST gear.

jeebus Tybolt...lmfao

well imp could just be changed to Zergers- over power by numbers.. even though poorly equiped and poorly trained... like in the movies.. and i think that would be fun to be had by all. say only 2 dark jedi per server and then some ok give um squad leaders .. but make them have grey uniforms... and stormies. and givereb faction pet ewoks

don't get me dreamin' or i won't stop...

BHs - neut only [even tho i play a Reb BH] that get gamorrean[sp?] "pets"- and if ya wanna run w/ that, how about a "race" playable that's IG-88-like? or better yet, make droid-engs like CHs and let them have droideka's & IG-88's tailing them about like rancors do for MCH's?

Love the game darn it, but i think i t's shame that everyone /respec'd BH...poor jedi - lol - whatever, it doesn't mattter what the devs do as there is always a contingent clammoring for this or that - they do a good job overall...wait a tic! - where went the talk of silly Imp Smugglers?

what you want more of my incoherint ramblings of why imps can make laws and hire folks to brake them for them?

or would you like me to elaberate on the uses of illiegal drugs by the goverments that made um illegal ..like sightin the USAF for giving pilots chrystel related substances to stay awake on long range missions... or how in vietnam the offericers gave there men weed and to help them get through thepains of war? and to forget there pains over all.

like the use of opium, then rapping cloth around arms and legs to cut of blood flow so you dont bleed to death when you get shot and the drug to keep you goin through the pain. so ineffect increasen your kill rate.

but see that dont sound like spice in the game, and these suppliers of these drugs didnt sound like smugglers to me, and this dont happen in real life cause only folks that wanna get high buy drugs not goverment solders and agencies.
