Clogging up the pages with more crap is not 'content'.

"Crap" is content. Never pursue a job in marketing.

Marketing is mostly a hive of scum and villany. I have no intentions of doing so.

You know, I hadn't noticed before, but why are there multiple copies of IG-88's head hanging up in the bartender's middle section? I take it they must have used some thing available at the store for both.

If I recall correctly, droids were not allowed in the cantina...

Those cappuccino machines do look like IG-88s head.

In the script, Luke asks for juice, not "one of those". I wonder what "one of those" was. Not Aunt Beru's blue milk.

Having played though 2/3 of them this year...Hunted and Blades of Time aren't really bad. If anything, they probably represent what modern era average (or slightly above) looks like.
