I think its time for another puzzle giveaway and this one is inspired by Star Wars. This puzzle will have
an interesting twist for prizes though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
In this puzzle you will be playing the role of an unknown agent trying to get information off a
corrupted system. The interesting thing here is there are two options, light side or dark side.
the dark side path is easier but the reward is lessened. The light side path is more difficult but the
prize is increased. The catch is im giving only one prize away, so if you go for the lightside path someone
may claim the darkside path before you get there. even if you already have the dark side figured out it is
now to late.

Dark side Victory: Find the word darkside as well as some letters connected to it within the puzzle.
copy the whole thing and post it as the answer. (claimed)

Light side Victory: Find the single word at the end of the puzzle. Post it first and the prize will go to
you.

the dark side has been claimed but i have decided to give a prize for finding the light side out as well. see below for more information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
Luke $kyw@lkers Wife Name? (7)

General information for puzzle

For this puzzle you will not have to leave gog (though you may want to to find answers)

Should work on all browsers

If by chance this somehow comes out another way then in that case it must be said my answer is the only correct answer

I do give hints slowly over time but these may be obscure in some way.

Let me know if you have any question, while i cant promise i can answer there is no harm in asking.

Good Luck :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
Hints from high command

Hint 1: The memory corruption is large. The computer can only show part of the corruption the rest you will have to figure out
Hint 2: We have managed to get more information on the corruption it seems C = --
Hint 3: another bit of the corruption has been figured out, we believe that 19 = -!-!-!-
hint 4: the darkside answer will look like xxxdarksidexxx where x denotes a random Letter
hint 5: The evil overlord in this scenario is Disney.
Hint 6 The corruption forms a pattern. finding this pattern then straightening it out will go a long way to finding the solution
hint 7. you must remove the darkside taint to find the lightside.
hint 9: when it comes to two letter questions the number of objects matter. if there is only one object in the question then these act like normal questions. if there are two objects then the each number restarts the process.
hint 10: multiply the dual letters together than divide by the distance from the start

Big update on the 30th post http://www.gog.com/forum/general/a_star_wars_puzzle_giveaway/post30

so now the prize is 5.99 to whoever solves the light side path with the corrected numbers.
RWarehall and BenKii will get the dark side prize of 5.99 each for both basically solving the puzzle minus my error.

I sent coxdr a PM giving him what I have so far to see if I'm on the right track, but I'm still a long way off.

OK, I'm going to post what I have in the hopes of SOMEONE getting this, even if it isn't me (but keep me in mind if you get it ;) lol)

so far:
Mara Jade
Lightsaber
Kenobi Qui-Gon Jin
Bail Organa
Dantooine
Vaapad OR Juyo
Plagueis
Fold space
Ben Quadinaros
grand moff
Disney???
Otoh Gunga
Yavin 4
Porkins

This would put the letter as JGEQGAVULQGDTGIPK without the last "Memory corrupt" ones. I'm not sure what to do with those.
Not in, just felt sad that I didn't know all the answers immediately even though I consider myself a huge SW fan.

oasis789: Not in, just felt sad that I didn't know all the answers immediately even though I consider myself a huge SW fan.
to be fair the star wars universe is huge. I don't think any one star wars fan could know it all lol
I'm pretty sure the first letter is "Q" and the fifth letter is "A", but I'm not sure where to go from there...

I guess I could try the words I found via a Hangman solver: Quinary and Quinate, though I get the feeling the word is more... Star Wars related.

EDIT: Maybe Qiraash?
