JEDI SEARCH

(Paperback)

pg.1: The black hole cluster near Kessel reached out for the Millennium Falcon with jaws of gravity, drawing it close. Even in the mottled blur of hyperspace, Han Solo could see the huge distortion as a bruised whirlpool, trying to suck them down to infinity. Black holes in realspace are easily seen in hyperspace.

pg.6: One of the attacking ships swooped overhead, and the Falcon's sensor panels howled with the sound of Twin Ion Engines, from which the TIE fighter took its name. Here's one of many quotes for debunking idiots who proclaim, "STAR WARS" has sound in space! Hurr Hurr Hurr!"

pg.11: The ship fired surgical strikes of turbolasers at the Falcon's maneuvering jets, disabling them further. Surgical strikes with turbolasers

pg.11: As they plunged downward, the Falcon approached one of the giant atmosphere factories, a huge smokestack mounted on th surface of Kessel, where immense engines catalyzed the rock and cooked out gasses into a cyclone of breathable air.

pg.15: In the distance, Luke could see one of the enormous droids, forty stories tall, Construction droids on Coruscant

pg.15: He wasn't merely another Jedi Knight-he was the only remaining Jedi Master. Luke is considered a Jedi Master at the time of "Jedi Search"

pg.26: After only a few minutes the sonic bath unknotted her muscles, revitalizing and refreshing her. Tech: Sonic Bath

pg.28: Other raw wreckage was scooped directly into the churning mandibles and conveyor belts that brought the resources down to elemental seperators, which in turn pulled out useful substances and processed them into new building components. More detail on the construction droids

pg.37: Luke let his eyes fall half-closed, then sent faint tendrils of thoughts into her mind, deftly touching the topography of her memory. At first she didn't react, but then he could feel her concentrating, building an invisible wall around his probe. Though slow, she succeeded in blocking him off. Jedi mind probe

pg.38: He had erected so much mental armor in the past seven years that he hoped he could still let her inside. Luke's mental shields

pg.49: Two, no three of his ribs, as well as his left leg, tingled with the maddening bee stings that indicated where bone knitters had repaired the fractures. Med tech: Bone Knitters

pg.109: Crystalline scales armored every inch of its body. Lava dragon

pg.110-111: But when the lightsaber smashed against the mirrored armor plates, the glowing green edge refracted into a thousand components, splitting and ricocheting around the chamber. The energy blade that could supposedly slice through anything broke only one small silicon armor plate.

pg.112: Luke walked across the lake of fire. He did not think about it. The lava refused to touch his feet.

pg.132: "Enhance your optical sensors so you can make out what he's doing, and record everything for later playback." C-3P0 has optical and playback ability similar to R2-D2

pg.136: "Sir! I just found a near-microscopic electronic object inside this blob's protoplasm." C-3P0 optical ability is able to discern microscopic objects

pg.186: A short distance beyond the muzzle, the two beams coalesced and phased, forming a staccato series of bursts, each one containing a brief impulse of power ten times that of a single blaster beam. Modified double-blaster

pg.207-208: "Get ready for a jump to hyperspace as soon as this fossilized navicomputer gives an answer." He stared at the readout, then pounded on the panel. "It'll be another ten minutes before it coughs up a safe trajectory. Damn! The black hole cluster is screwing up the calculations!" Time for calculations for a hyperspace jump vary between old and updated navicomputers

pg.230: "I'll send a flyer escort for you. They'll take you through a safe corridor in the energy shield."

pg.233: Artoo withdrew and chittered to Luke. Though Luke only partially understood the droid's language, he heard enough to know that Artoo had not found Han, R2 droids have a "language" that humans can understand

pg.242: In the Imperial fleet a single Star Destroyer housed thirty-seven thousand crew and ninety-seven hundred troops,

pg.243: "Daala," he said, "I'm giving you enough power to turn any planet to slag." Tarkin referring to the four Star Destroyers Daala commands

pg.258: One of the stormtroopers removed a handheld scanner and played it over Leia's body, testing for hidden weapons.

pg.259: As the guests stepped through forcefield environmental barriers, the humidity and temperature changed drastically to provide proper growing conditions for various types of plants. Tech: Forcefield Environmental Barriers

pg.270: ...she trotted over to the near wall and worked a few controls that turned a section of the metal plating transparent.

pg.278: "By introducing quantum-crystalline armor, where only a few layers of atoms are stacked as densely as physics permits, laminated on top of another thin film just as tough but phase shifted, we can be confident that nothing will harm it. Not so much as a dent."

pg.310: Qwi withdrew a blaster from the utility pocket on her smock, pointed it at the guard, and fired a stun blast. Rippling arcs of blue fire surrounded him, then faded as he crumpled to the floor. Stun setting through stormtrooper armor??

pg.318: "Let me scan the service numbers of these two troopers." Stormtrooper serial numbers.

pg.323: "They've pulled the coordinate module. It's not here."
Lando groaned. "Now what are we going to do?"
pg.324: "...and we can't go into hyperspace without a navicomp"
The Falcon is unable to use the navicomputer and plot a hyperspace course. Yet R2D2 is aboard, and neither Luke nor Lando seem to remember that the droid can plot the course in the absence of a navicomputer.

pg.332: The Hydra lanced out with its enormous turbolaser cannons, aiming concentrated firepower at the single small ship. Concentrated turbolasr fire against a single ship

pg.333: Great green turbolaser bolts shot out at them, but the cannons could not refocus their aimpoints fast enough to compensate for the ship streaking directly at them.

pg.347: "Spice has plenty of good uses too-perfectly legitimate alternatives in psycological therapy, criminal investigation, communication with alien races, even artistic inspiration and entertainment. You knew that Han, or you wouldn't have run spice yourself in the old days." Lando using the hemp defense to legitimize Solo's old occupation
