| pg.74: "You are a protocol droid at least three models behind, and an astromech droid sixteen models out of date." | Kloperian opinion of C-3P0 and R2-D2 |
| pg.99: "The new design works better in battle. It combines the computer system and the astromech unit into one complete system." "But that was tried a long time ago, and they discovered that if the unit broke down, the pilot was in grave danger." The boy shrugged. "They've overcome that bug, sir. The changes in droid and computer technology just in the last six months have been astonishing. We can do things that we've never been able to do before. Where've you been, that you didn't know about this?" | |
| pg.203: "Jedi Skywalker, we have made innovations in droids, but none that would give a droid human emotion. You know as well as I that human emotion in a droid would ruin its usefulness." Luke remembered the arc of Artoo's very expressive scream and Threepio's nervous chatter. He found them extremely useful. | |
| pg.237: Four new languages in the last day. Threepio sat at his computer bay in the Solo's apartments. He had had no duties since the children left, and he was using the time to catch up on the new languages. Two were from recently discovered planets, and two were new droid languages. That made eighteen new droid languages in the last week, or 2.571 languages per day. | |
| pg.287: Ever since his experience on the Eye of Palpatine, his left leg had been weak, vulnerable to too much pressure. | Luke's left leg since "Children of the Jedi" |
| pg.289: It resembled the kitchens he had seen among the wealthy on Coruscant. Modern appliances gleamed from the walls. Knobs, dials, and keyboards substituted for the crude cooking facilities he used on Yavin 4. All the pots and pans here were for decoration. But there was a water recycler and a purifying pot near the cooking pad. He staggered over to it, grabbed a porcelain mug, and turned on the recycler. It groaned, then hummed to life. In a moment, he had clear, fresh water. | |
| pg.290: He studied the keypad. If it was like the ones on Coruscant, it wouldn't have just kitchen information. It would also tell him what supplies were in the house, a family history, and a history of Pydyr. It would also carry new feeds, and anything else he needed to know. He hoped the keypad wasn't activated by fingerprint or retinal scan. Luke sought out the medical kit, found it, and removed the burn cream. He longed for a droid, but knew he had to tend himself. | |
| pg.298: Kueller's face winked out. A ripple replaced it. "Did we lose transmission?" Wedge asked. Admiral Ackbar shook his head. "No. He's doing something else. It's a function of the distance. Just like the moments of silence before he replies. It is taking time for this transmission to carry." "We have instant communication all over this galaxy," the lieutenant said. "Not all over," Wedge said softly. | |
| pg.307: Ackbar nodded. "The Almanian system is far enough away to have that sort of effect. In fact, holo-coding would be the preferred method of communication from that distance because it covers the other obvious tells of a long-distance communication." "Because holo-coding is slower than regular messaging," Wedge said. "Precisely. It takes an expert to recognize the difference between coding problems and distance problems." | |
| pg.336: Luke couldn't find a bacta tank, but he found something better; a Pydyrian healing stick. He had forgotten that Pydyr was the place that had invented the healing stick. It had been used all over the galaxy long before the bacta tank came into being, and some thought the healing stick was much better. The healing stick was long, thin, and white. When rubbed against a surface, a white residue remained behind. The computer had assured him the residue had healing properties. What he was learning, as he gingerly applied the stick to his injured back, was that it had soothing properties. Most of the pain from the burn faded. | |
| pg.368: The shot shouldn't have worked, but it did, mostly due to his own weakened state. He hadn't had enough energy to fight Dolph/Kueller and to maintain conciousness against the power of the medication. | Luke and tranquilizers |
| pg.423-424: "General, a fleet of ships has just left the planet's surface," the lieutenant on the lower level said. "I think they're Imperial." "What?" Wedge asked. "How is that possible?" "Their design, sir. They're Victory-class Star Destroyers, modified Imperial style." | Imperial-style Victory-class Star Destroyers can take off and land on a planet's surface |
| pg.444: "You've never had a memory wipe, so let me explain how it feels when you wake up. You view the world with fresh new eyes. Everything will seem so wonderful. You'll have your six million languages, and a whole new future." | Effects of a memory wipe on a protocol droid |
| pg.519: Every droid made by Brakiss in the last two years would explode when Kueller punched in his identification code. | Brakiss has a galaxy-wide remote to accomplish this? |
