It did lead to that great bit towards the end of season 2 where he starts to do his narration after they run down Escobar and then a soldier blows Escobar's brains out and his narration just stumbles to a sudden stop

You forget Mace was in Phantom because he doesn't do anything. The same could go for the rest of the Jedi. It was supposed to be moving when the Jedi all get purged but the only thing I knew about them was that that the pointy-headed guy was called Kit Fisto.

I used to read a ton of EU stuff before realising it was mostly garbage. Every now and again though, there's something gloriously terrible instead of just terrible, like a pointy headed man with a gently caress license.

It's not that you can't bang - it's that you can't have attachments. So the Jedi code should just read "Hit it and quit it. "

I always used to get thrown off by Anne Hathaway, because of her name. Before I actually saw her in a movie and knew who she actually was I always associated the name with a much older woman because it's an old-fashioned name. I always pictured her as the Maggie Smith type of "dowager" kind of actress. Then I learned better and realised she was only 4 years older than me.

It's weird to me that Maggie Smith has this whole popular image of being particularly old, if that makes sense, when she's actually slightly younger than Judi Dench (both born in December 1934 - Dench at the start of the month and Smith at the end).

She was aged-up in Hook to look elderly even though she was only in her late 50s at the time...I suspect that that sort of cemented her image of "she's ancient, and she's looked ancient forever" for those of us who grew up in the 1990s.

The first thing I saw her in was Murder by Death, when she was only in her early 40s, so I have a slightly different view. But she's a bit like Angela Lansbury in that her best known stuff is from when she was a bit older so everyone just thinks of her as old.

Tensokuu posted:It's not that you can't bang - it's that you can't have attachments. So the Jedi code should just read "Hit it and quit it. " Again, that's the EU extrapolating things too literally, trying to make sense of stated "rules" for a "real universe", to the point where the films then don't make sense instead (so Anakin could have kept on banging Padme?) In the context of the films the Jedi are simply a bunch of out of touch celibate warrior monks and Obi-Wan is a closeted homosexual. This is their function in the narrative, raising and then eventually trying to kill Anakin Skywalker (and doing a bad job of both). Ki-Adi-Mundi's sex palace doesn't exist. Pope Corky the IX posted:Kit Darth Icky. George Lucas is a very funny man.

Reminds me of the time that some dude got up at a Q&A and asked him very passionately what happened to Luke, Leia and Han after the end of Return of the Jedi and Lucas reportedly looked this man dead in the eye and said "they died." Not to mention his attempt to troll all his rich neighbors by funding low-cost housing near his place. e:efb

That sounds loving cool but in reality it loving blows because the onscreen qte prompts don't actually correspond to what you're supposed to be doing and it's really annoying having to stop and restart because some chump tie fighters keep flying by knocking you down and then you have a guy constantly whining at you because you inevitably keep loving up
