"In Star Wars, Princess Leia leads only a small part of the Rebel Alliance. The Commander of the entire Rebel Fleet is Admiral Ackbar -- a member of the Mon Calamari race of highly intelligent master chess players from the planet Dac."

Hehe, a lot of Star Wars information has changed since the year 1982 :P

Two things really. Isn't Ackbar a member of the Calamari species from the planet Calamari? And I thought chess was more that hologame from the Falcon in this continuum.

Two, isn't Mon Mothma in charge of the whole damned Alliance? Ackbar was just a fleet commander - albeit a large fleet.

Mon Mothma was indeed the leader of the Rebels at that point. Leia just liked to hang around and give out orders, "Stand by ion control... Fire!"

Sorry for the lame quote. I couldn't think of a better example of her stickin' her nose in things. As for the chess... I have no clue, but I think he was talking about Dejerik (The hologram-chess game in SW:ANH).

That was Leia saying that?? Jeeze. I am going to have to watch The Empire Strikes Back again. That makes it the third time this week, heh.
