Just a quick note:
Stardates are an arbitrary sequence
of 5 digits (XXXX.X) in Star
Trek. SUPPOSEDLY, they take into account
relativistic effects, but noone has
EVER explained that one to me.

About ROTJ, Obi Wan, and "The Other"--
Why shouldn't Obi be corporeal [sic]???
ROTJ chronolgically comes BEFORE Star
Wars (or A New Hope, as you like), and
thus has not yet been killed. Also,
since this is (most probably, it seems
to me) about the end of the clone wars,

why does it even have to mention "the
other"? In fact, they could make
alot more if they DON'T reveal him...(her?)

Actually, RotJ will be episode 6 and will therefore take place after TESB.
The next set of 3 will be episodes 1-3 and the final set will be episodes
7-9.
