Actually, he got sucked into a vent in the side of the chamber's wall .The physics of it all should have led to an even more gruesome outcome than a sloped of flat surface but still; THE POWER OF MYTH

qxx posted:THE POWER OF MYTH That the whole Original Trilogy is nothing but a retelling of the myth of Luke Skywalker, with thousands of little things added on by subsequent storytellers, is a pretty cool idea. In the real version, the fall was probably more of a tumble, really.

What's wrong with Luke's faaaaaace? If anybody is looking for some easy but informative summer reading there's a fascinating glimpse into life in the dust bowl that you'd probably not otherwise hear about.

Han isn't looking too amazing either, although he isn't a complete spaz at least.

Yeah, it's easy to forget that Denning's influence in Star Wars 1) goes back to the 80s and 2) is probably as loving weird as it is thanks to being spawned by the tabletop gaming culture.

The Ewok book reminds me of the "Wisconsin Death Trip" book my grandparents have at their lake house in Wisconsin. This needs to be more fully parodied with inserted Ewoks.

If I recall correctly, Zsinj's plan was named Chubar, after a character in one of Face's holovids that was one of those... things. Now that I think about it, I think Face was even the Voice Actor for it. There were also a few in Zsinj's menagerie o' chemically enhanced aliens. That's right, Zsinj saw one of those things and thought to himself "You know what? Let's pump that sucker full of steroids and see what happens."

Remember that Zsnij also had specimens that were not only smarter, but also far more aggressive. So, a roid-raging, super smart rape bear. Zsinj easily takes the cake as the ultimate Star Wars Villain. Not only is the plan sadistic, but it's also frighteningly intelligent.

Regarding the fact clones have a short lifespan, Isnt the quest on Star Wars Galaxies to recieve the clone trooper armor given to you by an ex-clone commando who is now a security guard?

We have already established that it would be useless for fine cutting, so you'd end up with big lumps of meat which are browned on all sides but raw inside. Which would actually be kinda cool for stews and stuff...

Why couldn't you use the tip for fine cutting?
|
# ? Jun 6, 2011 11:54 |
|
Because if the blade of the lightsaber is roughly 2 or 3 inches in diameter it's 2 or 3 inches at the tip. The things look like they slightly taper off but it'd still be like trying to do fine cutting with a superheated tent stake at the end.

I thought lighsabers had different settings for things like that. EDIT: I suppose it would still burn and generally mess up everything around it or something.

To be fair, it's meant for slicing and hacking limbs rather than say, carrots.

A Jedi could probably Force Shape(tm) the blade to any form he wished. That's why they are Jedi weapons, only Jedi can get them to cut and toast bread.

A Jedi wouldn't use anything to prepare food, except the Force. He would sit cross-legged in a circle of ingredients, close his eyes so all the space carrots and Tatooine tomatoes and Coruscant cucumbers and regular onions would float up,then he'd grimace real hard and the vegetables would all split into bite-sized pieces, then line up single file and stream into his salad bowl.
