Inevitable posted:But, like, nobody ever chooses to be those other dark jedi or something? They just get their name on the Sith apprentice waiting list and keep their fingers crossed? Some do. The main difference is dark Jedi are usually loners, not interested in working in an organization and they are not dedicated to Sith ideologies and history. They are basically rogue agents, not interested in galactic conquest or domination. When they do form groups, there is no "rule of two"., so there can be many dark Jedi in a group. Apparently Sith consider themselves to be more powerful than dark Jedi though.

I mean the rule of two is dumb but I always figured that in the original movies that the Jedi/Sith we meet are all that's left. I mean logically speaking that might be impossible but there's a specific story to be told and you shouldn't really be thinking "well on other planets..." because Star Wars is just that story and the characters within it. I think the EU writers and other trash producers think incorporating neutrals and Dark Jedi (not Sith!) and all this other stuff adds depth but it's just really stupid and takes away a lot of the magic of the movies.

Always felt like it was less "you're the last Jedi, Luke" and more "because you're his son, you'll be able to reach Darth Vader in a way that nobody else can, Luke" which is why those other Jedi people are insignificant.

As far as he and we know, Luke is it. I didn't give a second thought to there being more Jedi or Sith or whatever until I started reading the Star Wars books as a stupid preteen. Kinda takes away the power of the purge when the galaxy is rotten with Jedi that escaped.

I thought the two Sith rule was stupid even as a dumb preteen. It's been forever since I've seen Star Wars. Are the Sith mentioned in the movies or did they start as an EU thing?

Man there's a ton of force using traditions out in the EU, including: space kung fu, polearm specialists, dervishes, elemental styles, time/space folding lobster monks that are force neutral so they can use lightning no probs, power armor focused knights, silicon crystal lifeforms inside a droid chasis, plant worshiping healers instructed by the legendary titty trees, even people who specialize in throwing things like this. Those are all from the same book too!

"Dark Lord of the Sith" is in the Star Wars script but I don't think it's ever mentioned in the movies. I still think of it as just "Dark Side Jedi" instead of all the stupid poo poo in the EU.

Yeah it isn't mentioned onscreen until Phantom Menace and even then it isn't explained, they just start describing bad guys as Sith so for all we know Sith does just mean "a guy who uses the dark side".

Goddamn the EU is stupid. Has anyone counted how many extra Jedi there actually is from before the purges? Like forty or whatever, Palps and Vads did a pretty poo poo job of stamping them out. And they all die as soon as the main characters show up. Starting to think that maybe Luke and his buds lie about what happen and he just kills em off so they can't get in the way of his ~New Order~. Also, anyone remember the robo-jedi who lived with the space-sea-pirates using steam-powered galleons that fired cannon balls in the gas cloud? EU as gently caress right there.

Plus the kid has been pretty poo poo at anything thats not picking locks and everyone tends to chew him out for it. Seems pretty unlike a gary sue type character but maybe the author thinks poorly of himself?

I remember a book as a kid that was all just back stories for the aliens and poo poo in the Cantina when Luke and Han were there, almost all of them were awful, but the worst was the dude that looked like a walking penis being this huge plant biologist there to meet with someone about the fate of the universe revolving around some gay tree he was trying to save or find or some poo poo. Half the meetings at that bar were all things that put the fate of the galaxy on their shoulders. I wonder how many times a decision worth more than the cost of a good DUI lawyer has been made at a Chili's

1980's fanzines were weird.         http://i.imgur.com/hE1j7Jp.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pQwTQwG.jpg quote:If you are a true STAR WARS fan who cares deeply about the Saga, I urge you to please read this letter. The person writing this wishes to stay anonymous as my only want is to protect the integrity and good image of my beloved galaxy, and I need no attention to myself. I am very serious about what you are about to read and it's extremely important for everyone that loves STAR WARS to listen to what I have to say and take it seriously. A disgusting movie spoof of SW called SPACEBALLS will be released soon. I was unfortunate to see an advance preview of it and am abhorred by what I saw. I consider myself to be a dedicated and loyal SW fan. I love that universe as my home and those characters as my best friends, and I hate anyone that does anything against SW. Considering that, I know what I'm talking about in this letter. Well, SPACEBALLS goes way beyond just doing something against SW. The whole movie is one long ludicrous, hideous put-down of everything in SW. It makes Leia look like a gunslinging whore, makes Han look like he's a stupid idiot, and makes Voda look like a foolish master of nothing. SPACEBALLS then goes on to reach the height of bad taste in making fun of every other character, place and thing in the SW galaxy. I was outraged to see how the movie had the gall to ridicule and laugh at all the things in SW that the fans take very seriously. SPACEBALLS makes all the SW characters look like jerks and reduces all the intimate aspects of the Saga, like Leia and Han's relationship or Luke's Force training, into a series of uncalled for and tasteless jokes. I find nothing funny about making fun of SW. No real fan would, either. This sick movie should be considered high sacrilege and extreme offense against all SW fandom. I ask everyone reading this to please don't go see the movie. To be serious, I beg you in the good name of SW, DO NOT go see this movie in any way, shape or form. If you love Leia, and the others, and if you are a real, true fan, you will stay far away from SPACEBALLS. Tell everyone you know - - Everyone -- that the movie is a complete absurdity and tell them to go see it. I beg you to spread the bad word about this insult to SW called SPACEBALLS. No one can call themselves a true SW fan if they go to see or support in any way a movie or person that makes fun of SW. You and I and all of SW fandom owe it to the characters to see that SPACEBALLS is successful. It would not be fair to them (the characters) if a movie putting them down is a success. We can't let it be. It is a threat to the reputation and integrity and good image of the SW saga. Spread the bad word and send letters of protest to MGM Studios. DO NOT go to see SPACEBALLS. If you truly love STAR WARS, you won't go to see it and you'll do your best not to let anyone else see it, either. This letter is to be taken dead seriously and deserves deep concern and action from SW fans. DO NOT go to see SPACEBALLS. Our Saga's reputation is at stake.

Pleading with Star Wars fans to ensure that SPACEBALLS is never successful? I love Spaceballs, it's a classic spoof of Star Wars (and a dash of other sci-fi). I find Spaceballs way better as a spoof than the Robot Chicken or Family Guy Star Wars spoofs, I can only imagine how a person like that would respond to the existence of those two. Or that Star Wars Detours thing. If this fan was so worried about the deadly-seriousness of Star Wars that they couldn't stand Spaceballs at its release, I wonder how they'd feel about Star Wars poking fun at itself (poorly) with that Detours show.
