General Veers 11/07/2003 03:15 AM
Did you notice that the AT AT Commander, (or as us Canadian's knew him) General Veers, didn't actually die in The Empire Strikes Back, yet somehow -unlike his good buddy Admiral Piett- he didn't seem to stay with the Imperial forces for Return of The Jedi. Even though it can be argued that today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive died off camera during the Hoth battle (or even later for some other reason), or that he was busy elsewhere during the Endor battle, it is more likely that a Wampa kidnapped him and is living in a Robert Crumb styled fantasy in some cave somewhere... veers was a strange man.
