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 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.

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.
