	All the info on Wookieepedia is for the stock model. It is likely that Owen's Zephyr-G swoop was heavily modified and souped up. -----signature----- "Yes, I got so angry that I had to vent my spleen."

	a) the wookiee article still disagrees, what with the whole sports to farm utility conversion b) you'd be driving stock versions in SWG, therefore they should be slower the reason why SOE did it is obvious, I don't play SWG anymore and the point was that the Scout Bike is just another example for the Empire's cool gear which was stated to be a reason why they're not really evil which this thread was about in a not quite serious way -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

	Cool post. I agree they aren't that bad and I do think they sould have made the Empire more evil, because I think the whole idea of star wars is good vs. evil, freedom vs. authoritarianism, etc. They should've put some establishing scenes of the oppression of the empire in there somewhere... they could've done the basics: slavery, killing women & children, speciesism, etc. Also, i like the Clerks reference.

	They did show a number of those things though. Killing women: Killing children: Speciesism: Calling Chewie "this...thing." -----signature----- "Imaginary is the future.

	They've also shut down an entire government, killed off an entire organization of mystical police officers, held Cloud City hostage, and tore the galaxy apart with years of war and violence. It is ignorant and insensitive for the creator of this thread to say that the Empire is not evil when everything we see about them from the movies point to the contrary.

	Of course, the OP was intending it to be a joke thread, not a serious debate over the ethical status of the Galactic Empire. -----signature----- "Imaginary is the future.
