    I'm suprised the V-Wing is related to the A-Wing.

    This galaxy is getting smaller...

    It doesn't say that the Nimbus is related to the A-Wing, only that the artists who designed it for the movie took inspiration from the A-wing. The Nimbus is a closely related design to the Aetherspite.

    Uh, the Vader entry says the exact opposite.

    The Polis Massans were using Kaminoan cloning tech to reproduce anything they could find in their archaelogical digs.

    Is this mentioned anywhere else? Or mayhaps this is just a small sampling of something that might affect future events. *shrugs*

    Most of the Kaminoan-Polis Massa links probably are made because the Polis Massa design was based on rejected Kaminoan prototypes.

    The Imperial Rehab place sounds like it could be where Visionaries: Sithisis happens... [face_thinking]

    Walex Blissex, who worked as development lead on the Delta-7 Aethersprite project, saw the Nimbus as an opportunity to improve on what his perfectionist perception saw as flaws in the cutting edge Jedi fighter program.

    The Alliance brain trust of General Jan Dodonna and engineer Walex Blissex developed the A-wing starfighter after examining the role of speed in the Battle of Yavin and the sleek fighters developed by the Tamuuz-an.

    Nothing in the Jedi Starfighter Entry though...

    Darth Vader's Suit

    His gloves are made with a unique micronized iron that can deflect anything short of a lightsaber blow.

    This isn't a GODV reference is it?

    Its a reference to Abel's article about Mandos I believe where there is something about Darth Vader wearing crushgaunts. Which are made from micronized Mandalorian Iron. Which can basically deflect anything short of a lightsbaer blow.

    Which, in turn, is a reference to The Glove of Darth Vader. You lose, Darth-Lando. [face_skull]

    Walex Blissex did participate in the designing of the A-wing. He designed it with Dodonna if I recall.

    There's nothing particularly spectacular about this update though. Wish they did one for KOTOR II.

    Or maybe one to round off the New Jedi Order and TJK? One to cover the JAT would be welcome as well.

    Nothing particularly informative in that article, only the very basics if info. The Vader's suit was a joke, really.

    Wasn't FX-6 labelled as an FX-9 unit in the Visual Dictionary?

    I think there's only one source that labels the Imperial meddroid as FX-9 (IIRC, the RotS VD) while all others call it FX-6, so I presume the latter (used on the OS and elsewhere) is correct.

    I think there's one more RotS-themed Databank update to come (Pablo said in the OS forums that there were only four more RotS updates left, and we've had three since then) possibly called 'A New Hope' or similar. Expect updates to Alderaan, Bail, the Tantive IV, Luke, Leia, the Lars and their homestead. Hopefully new entries concerning Captains Antilles and Colton, Breha Organa and Aldera City.

    Not to mention an updated Padme entry. The current one doesn't even mention her death.

    Plus, they cannot leave out that disk speeder the jedi use.

    About the glove, I think that comes from Darth Vader blocking Han's blaster bolts. It was the force, then how come the Jedi never used it before?o_O

    Its the Force. Obi does a similar thing to blaster bolts in the Clone Wars Cartoon.

    The glove info is a reference to the Glove of Darth Vader series. However, it is possible that the Davids did use that ESB scene as part of their inspiration for the indestructible glove... [face_thinking]
