Just me and the Games, with no regard for sleep, fresh air or proper hygiene. One would think that such a masochistic task ultimately must lead to a decent into madness.

No, I don&#39;t mean the bit where it was called Revenge of the Jedi. There&#39;s more. I&#39;ll cite nothing because I have no idea where this information leaked from, and you can take it with a grain of salt because I heard it years ago. But apparently the original story for Jedi worked like this&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/seattlepi.nwsource.com\/local\/374766_gangkids13.html?source=mypi\" title=\"Young Guns: A new brand of gangster grows up in a killing culture\">Young Guns: A new brand of gangster grows up in a killing culture<\/a>: &quot;Seattle&#39;s gang problem is small, compared to other cities, but it definitely holds its own,&quot; he said. &quot;It&#39;s a bunch of teenagers &#8211; I would call them delinquents &#8211; that have adopted a gang name or identity, and that identity automatically falls into a structure of rivalries that those members must participate in. To these young people, their identity as a Sure&ntilde;o or a Crip or a Blood is as serious as someone else&#39;s identity conflict over religion. Like the Shiites and the Sunnis &#8211; that&#39;s an identity conflict. The irony is, they&#39;re all the same. They&#39;re all Muslims.
