Announcement:

I am going to post a Star Wars Character Dictionary (it will not be exstensively researched, but will include all the main characters that I can remember) and will post the link here.

Then I will lock this thread and transfere all our commentary posts to a new thread and leave the link here so we can discuss this Dictionary if need be.

Thank You!
