No offense was meant - whatsoever - in my post, dude. You could be completely right about the story, but you could equally be completely wrong. I do my best to look at the stories objectively in the light of the rest of the Star Wars universe and what Lucasarts has done with it...

I doubt any of the best stories written and published in this day and age make it without being passed to and fro between authors, proof-readers and advisors with criticism flying left, right and centre. Now, if the author were to complain about that criticism and throw the manuscript away then it's to nobody's benefit. It is wisdom to take on advice once considered, but ignorance to reject it out of hand regardless.

Reading the thread, I've just seen suggestions - nobody has said "your story sucks" or anything. So what if I think things are unlikely? If you find they have no bearing on your story? The point is that it's your story and you can tell it how you want. You don't think much of my suggestion? Fine. I'm far too old and apathetic to be offended by somebody not deeming my suggestions suitable, so feel free. However, don't stem your creativity just because of our suggestions.
