You boys ought to see some Kurosawa films if you think Lucas is dismemberment happy. Jedi are mostly Samurai, don't forget.

By the way, lest you think I'm trying to make those guys rich, get the books from a library. ACIM is all about making money from books, period. I doubt you got the material for free? Be safe and smart.

Quote: Originally posted by john.outwater I'm going to have to diagree with that. Blowing up an entire planet (Alderan) is a bit more than maintaining a credible image. Vader didn't blow up Alderaan. That was Tarkin's idea. Hence Vader's r…

Right, in Jedi, Anakin kills the Emperor and brings balance to the force. Luke was a helpful distraction, to tempt the Emperor to think Luke would make a good replacement for Vader as the Emperor's new apprentice. (Remember, this was Vader offering …

Qui-gon/Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul still is my favorite. Just really tightly done and powerful.

Quote: Originally posted by rageous Well size does matter in that the bigger you are the more blood actually exists in your body. In addition, when your legs get hacked off you lose a signifacant amount of cell producing bone marrow. But I ree…

Quote: Originally posted by rageous I haven't seen ep3 yet, but one thing I'm finding lame is this: That stupid ass Midichlorian thing from ep1. If Anakin is getting all hacked to bits, and the amount of scabies or whatever in your blood de…

My notes: Got a real grin and slight tear from Chewie helping to protect Yoda. Doesn't get better than that. Cuter than a puppy licking a kitten. Okay. Anakin really is the best pilot in the galaxy. Buddhism galore! Okay, they fuck it up …

The image a Jedi would project would be entirely arbitrary. It would be up to a Jedi himself to choose what appearance they give off in that spirit form. It makes sense to see old Yoda and Obi Wan, since they were always "good". I could see a…
