Subject: Results of 'Other' Poll
Newsgroups: net.sf-lovers,net.movies

It is February 1st -- premiere day for "Star Wars" on HBO, so...

Here it is folks! The results of the poll that asked the question:

'Please give your opinion on about whom Yoda was talking when, in
"The Empire Strikes Back", he said to OB-Wan, "No, there is an Other",
referring to someone (besides Luke?) who could restore the republic.'

For the record, I did not include people who made more than one guess,
unless they indicated one much more strongly than the other, in which
case I discarded the weaker guess.

I feel I must tell all you potential poll takers not to fear a deluge
of response. This was one of the hottest items on the net two months
ago, and look -- well under 100 responded! I shall keep a list of
names and votes, so that I can congratulate the correct people when
"Return of the Jedi" comes out.
