Oh I dunno, I wouldn't mind making a go of it...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

More importantly, the number of Suns Right. There are 2. I think the other one was hiding in Capricorn until Gawdzilla coxed it out. They're going to name it after him, ya know.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Wow. That's pretty insensitive and racist. Shame on you!

Interesting. So the Alpha Centaur is the alpha male. One zodiac reading for the entire solar system. Kewl!

Again with the Jawas? We told you, those Protocols of Cylon are fakes.

Because... alpha centauri.. is light years away and our sun is the closet object to earth...
To put it like so the sun our sun has a gravitational pull on earth.
This is where the earth would have to be to orbit Alpha Centauri A or B
And where not even.. that close

I used to think I was a Capricorn until Carl explained precession.

Hey I'm just saying. I mean I don't have anything against them personally, some of my friends are Jawas, they're good people. It's just, y'know, you see 'em sometimes wearing those hoods, hanging around hives of scum and villainy. They come up to you in the desert, try to sell you a droid out the back of their Sandcrawler and you don't know where they got it from, coulda got it from anywhere, Empire could be looking for it. And you know they're good with money so you'll probably get the short end of the deal, I'm just saying.
