NeoConMan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Half a million people? Thinking about this for a minute, it occurs to me that there are way more idiots than that on the face of this earth. Really not surprising. Just watch TV, you'll see that many in no time.

ChanMan Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'll get worried when they start dating time by Luke Skywalker's name. Until then, I'll just assume it is comprised of folks who have chosen a different path, and hope it isn't a bunch of misguided fools who actually think they have or can attain force powers.
