Guys... the Moffship thing let me to this:
Trioculus was a three-eyed mutant warlord of the Galactic Empire who declared himself Emperor a year after the Battle of Endor. As a figurehead of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs, led by his mentor Bertroff Hissa, Trioculus took control of the remnants of the Empire in opposition to Ysanne Isard.
The self-proclaimed son of Palpatine, Trioculus was in actuality a pretender to the throne, usurping the role of Palpatine's true son, three-eyed mutant Triclops. Spurred on by a prophecy of Rajah Ubooki, the false Kadann, he sought the glove of Darth Vader to establish his legitimacy. Trioculus's pursuit of the Jedi Prince Ken and his infatuation with Leia Organa pitted him against rival Zorba Desilijic Tiure, and led to him being taken captive by the Hutt and frozen in carbonite. Trioculus was eventually betrayed by Kadann, who sought the Imperial throne himself, and in the end was assassinated by a New Republic droid.
My brain just starts shutting down when there are so many linked things I've never heard of. And then I start clicking links...

Did Kael hate "Blade Runner"? What an old crab.

I don't know but Blade Runner sucks. I understand its reputation: art direction, atmosphere, etc. The story and acting are crap.

Yep. I've always wished that movie was more engaging, because I love everything about its looks.

I've watched Blade Runner at least five times now and can't remember a thing about it, I just stop caring halfway through or something.

sometimes I think it'd help if actors in movies stopped and asked, "Hey if we were posting this conversation to an ilx messageboard thread right now, would we be FP'd?"

Shaking my head in disbelief at "Blade Runner sucks." It's a beaten down soulless future LA, guys!! And Rutger Hauer is excellent. Crazy talk.

the full sentence is essential, i hope this is considered a possible subplot for episode 8 or so. The self-proclaimed son of Palpatine, Trioculus was in actuality a pretender to the throne, usurping the role of Palpatine's true son, three-eyed mutant Triclops.

Basically you're stuck with a three-eyed-mutant Emperor no matter what. You're getting a three-eyed-mutant.

Alfred have you seen Blade Runner on the big screen?
A lot of the shots don't really make sense until they're hueg. Pacing works much better too.

Given the weirdly advanced and sterile atmosphere of the prequels, lightsabers just don't seem that impressive of a tool. This is regardless of being watered down merely by overuse as well. What I mean is all the technology seemed so advanced and perfect I don't think it'd phase anyone to see a lightsaber set of kitchen knives or a lightsaber gardening shovel in any given scene.
