EPISODE XCVII
The first issue of RebelPilot came out in 1998. Can you believe it! Ten years ago!
Of course there was a few periods of non-activity, but otherwise we're averaging about 10 issues per year.
RebelPilot! The weekly ezine that comes out on an irregular monthly basis!
Anyway, enough chatter from me, we've got some real cool stuff to share with you.

The Star Wars fan's guide to dating
- Mention Star Wars on each date. If this results in hostility, a rolling of eyes or 'Yeah.. Spock is my favourite!' It is not meant to be. Actually, the 'Spock' comment is the lesser of the evils.
- If you say 'Boba Fett is cool!' and your date responds with 'Yeah.. those swedes make great music!' It was not meant to be.
- If your date tells you to grow up or be more mature because you collect Star Wars toys/books/comics etc... You guessed it, it was not meant to be.
- If your date says 'I don't care if it's the first movie in 16 years, I want to go to this phat party'.. Run away quickly in the opposite direction. Star Wars is better than booze and loud techno music.
- If your date says 'But Independence day was sooooo much than Star Wars. And Armageddon.. woah! I want some real science, not this Science fiction crap.. Star Wars is sooooo unrealistic' proceed to slink away :)
- If your date brings you something cute, small and Star Wars related even if they don't like Star Wars that much but they know you do... or if they happily listen to you and you can communicate with them on a level other than Star Wars... or if this person accompanies you to Episode 1, and likes going to Toys R Us.. keep them. Not only do they kinda like Star Wars, but they understand why you like it and understand /that/ you like it.
- If your date is as much of a Star Wars nut as you.. make sure you have something else in common.. if you do, it's a match made in heaven

C-3PO is, the Neediest Droid Ever.And GypsyPirate is the fine Lensmaster who made this quality lens.
Of particular interest is a chronological list of everyone unfortunate enough to have owned the golden droid. And there was a LOT of them.

C-3PO: The Neediest Droid Ever

Somebody else always has to get poor C-3PO out of the latest jam he has gotten himself into. The nice thing about Threepio is he knows he is not a hero or a great warrior and would much rather stay at home. That just never works out for h...
Far Far Away Side
Captain Ackbar
A scientific genius with a troubled mind, Captain Ackbar spent much of his life roaming the stars in a ship of his own design. After witnessing his homeworld captured and his people enslaved by the Empire, he gathered a loyal crew and fled into deep space, planning to escape civilization entirely.For the next sixteen years, not a trace of Ackbar or his crew was seen. Meanwhile, the Empire continued to spread, and soon even the darkest corners of the galaxy would hold no sanctuary for Ackbar. Then, as suddenly as he disappeared, a surprise attack on a vital Imperial supply ship signaled Ackbar's return, and the beginning of a long and impressive guerrilla campaign against the Empire. Like a phantom, Ackbar and his ship haunted the Empire, swooping in and hitting them whenever and wherever they were most vulnerable, then disappearing into the void without a trace. The stories of his deeds made him a folk hero among resistance supporters and a fearsome figure to Imperial Stormtroops.
After the annihilation of Alderaan, Ackbar ended his lone campaign and officially joined forces with the Resistance.
