When I hear the voice of James Earl Jones asking his son to join him on the Dark Side, the way he holds out the "u" makes me think he's calling for Luuke Skywalker. Then I get sad because I remember there was a character named Luuke Skywalker.

In A New Hope, R2D2 plays a message to Ben Kenobi from Princess Leia that said, in part, "Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars". But after rewatching the Prequel Trilogy, I didn't get the impression that Obi Wan was serving Bail Organa at all. Or is this more of a "Obi Wan was a Jedi, who worked for the Republic, which Bail was part of by being a senator" thing?

jonjonaug posted:If Leia hadn't been intercepted there wouldn't have been a message to Ben in the first place. This is incorrect. Leia said in the message, "Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs for you to help him in his struggle against the Empire....I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person" She was going there to recruit Ben and bring him to Alderaan

Throb Robinson posted:I never thought about it. I thought she was older then 14. I guess that makes the whole anakin alittle less "Hand that rocks the cradle" I believe Weird Al clearly tells us in The Saga Begins that "do you see him hitting on the queen? he's just nine and she's fourteen yeah he's probably gonna marry her someday". However, on Radio Disney, I guess "hitting on" is offensive so they literally made Weird Al rerecord the line as "do you see him talking to the Queen" edit: I was wrong. They originally deleted the entire line, so Weird Al recorded the "talking" line because he didn't want his song to sound stupid.

Say what you will, but as a 21 year old man(child) I'd love to play with Darth Vader. We could play D&D, we could play Battlefront (With Darth playing Empire and me playing Rebel), we could duel with plastic lightsabers...the possibilities are endless. You know Darth Vader did charity work. I'm waiting for the EU novel that shows him in a children's hospital, signing autographs and telling Little Timmy how brave he has, struggling with space cancer and all.

Speaking of LotF, I found a paperback copy of Betrayal behind my bookcase this morning, but I have no memory of buying it. In addition to the first novel in the LotF series, it also contains two short stories by Karen Traviss about Darth Vader. I'm way too afraid to read them.

I'd like to thank oxward321 for this insightful comment: quote:There are NO trilogies, only The Saga! Star Wars six films, one story! There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. No trilogies. All the movies should be on equal footing; Attack of the Clones was just as good as The Empire Strikes Back. edit: this guy is my new favorite poster quote:DarthShadow2259, really? I didn't know YOU made up Star Wars! You only like the OT fine, go watch them! And let the rest us enjoy, and appreciate, the Saga as a WHOLE!!!Star Wars is Lucas, PERIOD! What he says goes in HIS universe! The sooner you bashers understand that, the sooner you can move on!!!There are NO trilogies, only The Saga! Star Wars six films, one story!

It was always my impression that the force of being hit by the lightning made him unable to stop projecting said lightning, but then again I don't have the novelization so it's possible that it is explained there. I do have the novelizations of the OT and, for some reason, Phantom Menace. Is TPM's novelization worth reading? Will I hate it as much as the movie?

Ograbme posted:I figured the prolonged self-lightninging was because the Dark Side lightning was fueled by rage and pain and poo poo and getting hit by your own lightning made him mad/hurt. The last part of that sentence kind of sounds like something from a junior novelization (the best novelizations, of course) The Chancellor was being hurt by his own lightning! He was very mad. "Help me, Anakin!" The Chancellor said. Anakin was confused.

TheLoquid posted:R2-D2 died at the end of ANH, which is why he never mentioned to Luke that Leia was his sister. Threepio would have noticed.  Also, some weird guy on the bus unironically tried to tell me that C3PO and R2D2 are the main characters of THE SAGA (There are no trilogies, only THE SAGA) because they are the only ones who appear in 6. I politely nodded and said, "I never thought of it liked that" and then got off the bus two stops early to end the conversation faster.

mojo1701a posted:It's Leia that references it This is incorrect. Luke: "You fought in the Clone Wars?" Obi-Wan: "(laugh) Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father"  Kenshirou posted:Watched AOTC in its entirety (it's been a few years) and I'm gonna have to say I hate it more than TPM. I forgot how loving awful that last battle is, especially the stuff leading up to it with the factory and the creature fight. I watch the OT maybe once every month or two, but the PT I rarely ever re-watch so I forget just how bad they are. Also why the gently caress did Kit Fisto force push C3PO and then smile at the camera? For some reason that really bothered me. Sup OT monthly rewatch buddy  One of the most prominent elements of Kit Fisto's personality is his eternally cheery attitude. Motherfucker is constantly smiling. When he dies with the two other Jedi idiots in Palpatine's office, there's a shot of him with a big fatty grin on his face. Yes, he's smiling after death.

Admiral Goodenough posted:What's the deal with the force cave on Dagobah? I never felt like I fully understood that scene. Basically, the cave is strong with the Dark Side of the Force (Which, incidentally, is why Yoda chose his exile on Dagobah, since his strong Light Side readings are canceled out by the cave's dark side) and, as such, can be used for training exercises like the one Yoda made Luke go through (I'm pretty sure someone else in the EU did the same thing in that cave). Pretty much, Luke rolls into the cave with his lightsaber, even though Yoda tells him he doesn't need it. He sees a Force-projection of Vader and his immediate reaction is to try to strike him down, using his anger over Vader's murder of Obi-Wan and his fear of ending up with the same fate. Once he kills the Force-projection of Vader, Vader's mask rolls back and we see Luke's face, because Luke is only harming himself by giving in to his anger and fear (Which, as we all know, lead to hate and suffering), since doing so will cause him to turn over to the Dark Side, like Vader did. e:fb

KaneOfNod posted:The real estate's cheaper and taxes are lower near the Jundland Wastes compared Mos Eisley. Of course, there is the Tusken Raider problem. Also the Wamprat problem. Which wasn't really a problem until someone in the EU decided that Luke was a monster for killing poor defenseless Wamprats and then wrote a book that mentions how there are several different species of Wamprats and the one that Luke shot were so out of control and such a menace that the Governor/Mayor/whoever put out a bounty on Jundland Waste Wamprats of a couple credits a head, so Luke continues to be a hero instead of a future serial killer.

A severed hand is just going to get replaced with a mechanical one that has an etched serial number: 84d-m07h3rfuck2 on it. Well, I'm sure there's an in-universe explanation, but the real explanation is that Samuel L. Jackson told Jorge he didn't want to "go out like a punk" and that he wanted Mace to have a good death scene, which is why he gets lightning'd out a window instead of going down in order 66

There are 7 different styles of Lightsaber combat and if I'm not mistaken, only a few people have mastered them all (Mace Windu for one. If I'm not mistaken, he invented the seventh form because he was so good at all the others.) Check out this incredibly article for more information: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber_combatYou have to watch out when using that seventh form, by the way, because it'll probably turn you over to the Dark Side.

Lucas specifically told Prowse and Hamill to act like the lightsabers were heavy. I really hope there's some spergy EU explanation for this, like Skywalkers/Obi-Wan using a particularly heavy crystal in the design of their lightsabers. The more detailed the explanation, the better.

I have this mental image now of Jorge attempting to force choke all of his employees and them just shaking their heads and walking away, disappointed that they work for a lunatic. That'd be an odd double-edged sword, being able to brag to your friends that you literally work on Star Wars, but also having to put up with Lucas' insanity. Also, you'd probably get laid a lot, but only by nerd chicks and unfortunately I've seen the kind of women who are into Star Wars  There are exceptions, of course, but far and away, the majority...how did George Carlin put it?

In my personal canon, Palpatine is the father, because that's much less stupid than "she got Force-raped by midichlorians" although I think it's (eventually going to be) canon that Palpatine and/or Plagueis went to Tatooine and chose Shmi (stupid name). I prefer it this way because now both trilogies are about fathers and sons.
