The added blu Ray scene with Luke making his saber was actually p good. They should've made it an '80s style montage with goggles like the Dagobah training montage

watched most of the samurai jack guys clone wars cartoon last night, really pretty good. I love the design but man is it hard to give a poo poo about thousands of clones fighting thousands of robots

Also I really dislike the prequels made every Jedi a superpowerful expert at everything; like every Jedi is an expert pilot, expert swordsman, can throw tons of poo poo around with the force *yawn*

This is the big problem with the prequels. Everyone except qui gon is either an idiot or an rear end in a top hat or both.

Still dumb as hell the Jedi were a giant organized religion with a big temple on the capital planet because it's both really uncool and does not mesh with the original films despite what the CD thread seems to think.

I thought the difference was that the Empire cracked down on Jedi to the point of driving them into hiding? I fully admit I only half paid attention to any of the movies, so I'm not sure why it doesn't mesh.

Many people refer to the Force as an ancient or hokey religion as if Jedi weren't running all over the place 18 years prior with a giant rear end temple on the most visible planet in the galaxy.

An Imperial officer who would've been an adult during the fall of the Republic mouths off to a guy he should know has mind powers about his religion.

To be fair this is an EU thing. In the prequels they don't exactly slaughter entire armies on their own, they're killed by droids when outnumbered and Obi-Wan is explicitly a bad pilot.

I always assumed he was the secret bad guy, and his prophecy about bringing balance to the Force actually meant holocausting most of the Jedi. His purpose was accomplished when there were only two Jedi and two Sith left alive in the universe. But then Batman Begins went and revealed him as a secret bad guy at about the same time, so George Lucas had to change it. But I'm pretty sure Lucas couldn't come up with that idea, and wouldn't have changed it if he had.

Movie Bad Guys' master plans never make any sense. Just try to imagine the boardroom meetings where the main villain unveil their upcoming plans to their henchmen and the questions they would have raised, it's always retarded.

No, there are dark jedi and force users, and the Sith, which are a separate faction.
