nice tab :) just to add a little to what mickay said. -'for filled' should 'fulfilled' -'Bungo' should be 'Bongo' -'Corusaunt' should be 'Coruscant' -bring balance TO (not 'too')the force -this here Anakin guy MAYBE (is two words in this case 'may be') Vader -instead of 'FEE' the planet is called 'Theed' // 'Theeb' on the other hand is an egyptian city -its called 'midi-chlorians' -Queen Amedala should AMIDALA ...i guess thats it, oh and mickey -'The Jedi Council We knew it wantED to' should be 'we knew would want to' because WANTED is naturally past-tense but since it hadn't happened, it is 'want' nice tab though :D
