<p>But we have balances.</p>
<p>Agreed. Well not as much now as we should have. But it is still scary.</p>
<p>Oh, I never noticed that.................Just kidding! Funny how the famous line was a paradox.
"Only a sith deals with absolutes" or something like that</p>
<p>"Only a sith" is an absolute and the jedi, obi wan kanobi, said it.......he is characterising the sith with an absolute statement.</p>
<p>therefore he himself is acting like a sith in using an absolute to describe the sith!
Okay, I hope that made sense lol.</p>
<p>For those DIE HARD Star War fans and fans of the Expanded Universe:</p>
<p>Here is something really interesting about how the Jedi disappear when killed and become one with the force. It turns out that it was Qui Gon Jinn who finds out how to do it. Scenes were cut out of Episode III but I have it here.</p>
<p>This scene takes place after Anakin was rescued by the Emperor after being burned.....................</p>
<p>On the isolated asteroid of Polis Massa, YODA meditates. </p>
<p>YODA: Failed to stop the Sith Lord, I have. Still much to learn, there is ... </p>
<p>QUI -GON: (V.O.) Patience. You will have time. I did not. When I became one with the Force I made a great discovery. With my training, you will be able to merge with the Force at will. Your physical self will fade away, but you will still retain your consciousness. You will become more powerful than any Sith. </p>
<p>YODA: Eternal consciousness. </p>
<p>QUI-GON: (V.O.) The ability to defy oblivion can be achieved, but only for oneself. It was accomplished by a Shaman of the Whills. It is a state acquired through compassion, not greed. </p>
<p>YODA: . . . to become one with the Force, and influence still have . . . A power greater than all, it is. </p>
<p>QUI-GON: (V.O.) You will learn to let go of everything. No attachment, no thought of self. No physical self. </p>
<p>YODA: A great Jedi Master, you have become, Qui-Gon Jinn. Your apprentice I gratefully become. </p>
<p>YODA thinks about this for a minute, then BAIL ORGANA enters the room and breaks his meditation. </p>
<p>BAIL ORGANA: Excuse me, Master Yoda. Obi-Wan Kenobi has made contact. </p>
<p>....</p>
<p>BAIL leaves the conference room. YODA stops OBI-WAN. </p>
<p>YODA: (continuing) Master Kenobi, wait a moment. In your solitude on Tatooine, training I have for you. </p>
<p>OBI-WAN: Training?? </p>
<p>YODA: An old friend has learned the path to immortality. </p>
<p>OBI-WAN: Who? </p>
<p>YODA: One who has returned from the netherworld of the Force to train me . . . your old Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. </p>
<p>OBI-WAN: Qui-Gon? But, how could he accomplish this? </p>
<p>YODA: The secret of the Ancient Order of the Whills, he studied. How to commune with him. I will teach you. </p>
<p>OBI-WAN: I will be able to talk with him? </p>
<p>YODA: How to join the Force, he will train you. Your consciousness you will retain, when one with the Force. Even your physical self, perhaps. </p>
<p>END.</p>
<p>This explains how Qui Gon did not disappear after being killed by Darth Maul and how Yoda and Obi Wan were able to do so...</p>
<p>Too crazy...</p>
<p>I just want to know how Lucas comes up with this stuff... it is just so creative. I love the idea though. I also love how it can be shoved right back in Anakin's face.</p>
<p>It also ties in with the line that Obi Wan says in Episode IV A New Hope when he says "When you kill me, I will become more powerful than you will ever be" (or something to that extent) to Darth Vader....</p>
<p>starting to really like making all these connections...it fits so well</p>
<p>I think the most amazing thing about thE Star Wars movies are amazing because of how Lucas was able to add 3 episodes leading up to the original trilogy without planning it out first.</p>
<p>P.S. I always wondered why Obi Wan disappeared when he allowed Vader to strike him down in "A New Hope"; now I know!!!</p>
<p>Lucas did not make things up. He recycles old tales and myths. Yet, he does so brilliantly and beautifully. His creation is that of the technology in the world of Star Wars.</p>
<p>The best is when Padme says "There is still ______." She stops short of finishing her sentence. What she meant to say was hope and this is fulfilled in Episode IV, A New Hope!</p>
<p>Well, Lucas wrote out all 6 episodes first. Then he began on the movies, starting with the 4th.</p>
<p>Lucas is an amazing director... what he lacks for in dialogue writing, he makes up for in direction... There are so many emotional surges in that movie... like when Anakin activates his light sabre in the room full of kids... you hate him. You hate him so much... but yet you can sympathize with him. We can relate to him and what he did. We all have selfish and evil tendencies. Anakin gives into these, and shows us what we can become if we don't keep ourselves in check.</p>
<p>"Lucas is an amazing director..."</p>
<p>Do you really think so? I think he is a horrible director. That along with terrible actors led to the disaster that was Episode II. They decided to turn this into a special effects filled action movie. Not to say that I didn't like it; it was certainly entertaining. They didn't solve the problems of Episode II though, just tried to limit their appearance.</p>
<p>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>eh the movie was OK. the dialogue and acting was horrible at times. like when darth vader says NO!!!!!! near the end, that was hilarious</p>
<p>Like I said, nitpickers will complain about minor things. Yes the "NOO" was corny, but think about it. His asking Palpatine about Padme was weird, but it showed the last remnants of Anakin in Darth Vader. After that, he is truly a sith. </p>
<p>Sir Watson...good point about the Hope thing. Along with Ep. IV, it is also fulfilled in Ep. VI when Vader destroys the Emperor, regaining his Anakin side and completing the prophecy. </p>
<p>But one correction, she does finish her sentence.</p>
<p>PADME: Obi-Wan . . . there . . . is good in him. I know there is ... still . . . </p>
<p>You can write a 20 page essay on Star Wars....so interesting</p>
<p>I got an adrenaline rush from the movie... Lol, I saw it twice in 24 hours. However, there were a couple of things I didn't like.</p>
<p>For example, as soon as Palpatine had said, "There's an old Sith legend..." I would have been like, "Wait- I'm a Jedi Knight. You're a politician. How the heck do you know more about the Sith than I do? Something's not right..."</p>
<p>And Padme became way to wimpy for my tastes. There she is, brushing her hair, looking all pretty and sex kitten-eque even when she's pregnant and saying, "Oh Ani- what's going to happen?" I mean, come on! She's a flipping senator and former queen! She has lots of backbone, yet used none of it! And she suddenly loses the will to live even though she's just given birth to her 2 children... Sorry, just my rant. ;D</p>
<p>But I really, really enjoyed it and would glady see it again, and again, and again...</p>
<p>And I must say, Yoda rocks. Maximally. He is the coolest.</p>
<p>Of course she lost the will to live. She understood what happned to Anakin, right? I mean that choking scene was freakin' poignant.. maybe the best scene in the movie.</p>
<p>Yoda's speech got very, very trite, and started to **** me off..</p>
<p>Yes, but I mean, it's like a maternal instinct to stay alive for your children for as long as you can. She had just given birth- she'd be going through a wave of emotions, mostly love, for her children which would most likely make her want to forget about Anakin and protect. </p>
<p>I know it's not always like that, but she obviously wanted those children and did not see them as a bane of her existence.</p>
<p>OMFG... the movie was great...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO INCREDIBLE HOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!! I paid for the ticket 3 times just to watch the movieee.... don't ask how... long story... EVERYONE should go see it.... even tho i'm not a die-hard star wars fan... the movie was realli good = )</p>
<p>i enjoyed the movie. I think there were some bad dialogue and badly directed scenes tha tmade ok dialogue bad. But I figured out what it is. Now that so many younger kids are going to see star wars, some dialogue for obvious things has to be said so they understand. haha!
anyhow, I enjoyed. One of my friends who never made it through a star wars movie ( she always falls asleep) made it, and was VERY emotional.
I guess that is a good sign</p>
<p>What I didn't get is how a human could survive after having al of his limbs sliced off and then being set on fire.</p>
