This has been bugging me for some time, I was just wondering, are Castor and Pollux from episode III named after the characters from the movie Face/Off? As i know biggs and wedge from final fantasy are named after characters from star wars and i just wondered if ST had done the same thing.
I dont know if the lobby is the right place for this, i was going to put it in the void but is has relevance to PSO. Feel free to move this to the void if necessary.
I dunno, but I noticed the Biggs and Wedge thing too...
I haven't watched Face Off, so, maybe, but they were originally twins from Roman mythology, I think. Maybe Greek mythology too. I'm interested to find out.
I was having a very similar discussion with Orphen on MSN about a month ago. Who knows about Pollux and Castor? Please speak up.
whats pollux and castor! lol is it an english program or scottish or w.e....
Pollux and Castor....I believe are known as the `Twin Stars` in some constellation. I don`t know the actual name of the constellation though. So your kind of out of luck on that one.
Other Things about the names Pollux and Castor
- From Greek and Roman Mythology.....Castor and Pollux are the twins that were born from Leda and the Swan
Leda - a Spartan Queen
The Swan - a kind of legend similar to the `Minotaur`where the Wife of King Minos had a little fun with a bull and created the Minotaur. **Only this legend is different in its own sense.
History Lesson
The Spartans were a warrior class civilization. They spent their time conquering territories and enslaving the townsfolk. The Spartans themselves considered every Spartan to be equal.
thats about what it.......I`m not sure if thats what Sonic Team were actually thinking about at the time, but that could just be me.

lol.......I actually listened during my History classes. I did remember quite a bit about the names Pollux, Castor, Leda, King Minos, not to mention I watch the history channel alittle too much
.
Anyway, if thats what your looking for Mirinee, then I`m glad I could use my vast knowledge of history and mythology to help you. As for DKgamers suggestion about the two ppl on Face Off........well, I can`t help you there.
