look up anything, like your first name:
1. Lando Effect
Tendency amongst bigots to show solidarity with a race/religious/ethnic group they normally despise when a member of that group is beating up on another minority the bigot hates even more. When one brand of racism trumps another.

Princess Leia only shows disdain for Wookiees throughout the Star Wars trilogy. "Get this big walking carpet out of my way!" "I'd sooner kiss a wookiee!" She even sneaks into Jabba's palace by selling off a handcuffed Chewie.

The only time she openly takes Chewbacca's side in anything is when Chewie is choking out Lando, the only black character of significance in the entire trilogy.
On Lockdown, the guards talked about how the nazi gang was allied with the mexican gang against the black gang. Whats up with that?

2. knights of the old republic
In covering those four bases, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is not only providing one of the very best interactive Star Wars experiences, but it's tapped into the very soul of the Star Wars universe that drew hundreds of millions of fans to the franchise in the first place. Developed by Bioware, Knights of the Old Republic is stronger with The Force than any George Lucas-powered movie that's come out in the last 20 years and lands on the Xbox as one of the very best titles the system has to offer.
There's tons of character development, a combat probability system and a giant inventory to manage, so I guess KOTOR gets clearance as a role-playing game. But as both an RPG and a Star Wars title, it strikes a marvelous balance of hardcore authenticity and accessibility for the uninitiated. Pen and paper players can check the log of dice rolls used to calculate the success rate of every trigger pull or lightsaber swing. Freddy Fanboy can geek out for hours at how well the Jawa language has been adapted for a videogame. And even the coolest of the cool hip kids will be able to see the appeal of swinging double lightsabers and choking fools from across the room.
It all begins with a rock solid story that really does begin a long long time ago....
