By conehead, you mean Ki Adi Mundi, right? Plo Koon is one of my favourites because he has a yellow lightsaber. Aayla Secura is hot though. Twi'leks, mmm.

EDIT: What the smurf a whole other page. This post was aimed at Del's on the previous page.

EDIT2: I heard they were remaking the OT in 3D. One of the ladies at our NaNo party mentioned it. It'll be

Also I kind of enjoyed the fact that they put Anakin in at the end. I don't necessarily agree that he figured out how to become a force ghost without loads of meditation, but alright then. Qui Gon wouldn't have made any sense, unfortunately, because he had absolutely nothing to do with Luke. But he could be like "oh hey anakin bro you're a rascal aren't you ha ha yeah"

@The Captain: Yeah that guy made it to the end of the series. He was supposed to be more of an important-ish character because of all the sneaky things he did to get his superiors killed off. If I remember correctly he was the one to find the Hoth base and got in good standing for it, 'cause he went against his commanders orders not to.

Jiro, Qui-Gon was a follower of the Living Force. Through the Living Force anyone can retain their identities after death. Think of it like Christians living their life for God so they can spend an eternity in Heaven. In the days of the Old Republic the Unifying Force was the main Force philosophy. It focused on fulfilling destiny and looking to the future, something nearly all the council members strongly believed in. The Living Force was about living in the moment, but being mindful of the future.

So, Qui-Gon being one of the only council members to follow the Living Force became the first to achieve eternal life through the Force. He taught Obi-Wan in the ways of the Living Force, and, in turn, Obi-Wan taught Anakin in the same ways. The Living Force isn't just a Light Side view, it is seen as having Light and Dark sides. It's entirely possible Anakin could have continued to walk this path as a Sith.

Does anyone care that (SPOILER)they've found a whole ship filled with Sith?

That's ridiculous that I don't remember seeing anyone mention it.

[Jiro]

It's just implied that Obi Wan goes off to become a hermit because it takes a great deal of meditation to reach the point where you can become a Force Ghost.

It actually makes some sense that Force Ghost Obi Wan would haunt Anakin, teaching him this to try and get him to realise the Emp dawg isn't cash.

I'm sure it's plausible, I'm just having trouble putting it into my mental timeline. It's a sexy sexy concept though.

Yeah at the end of the third movie it's implied that he's to be training for this in his exile, but if you think about it Qui-Gon couldn't have known to train himself for something like that. I think being as connected to the Living Force as he was is how he achieved it (if you read his history he's pretty passionate about his views, and even shows it in Ep. I in his defiance against the council to train Anakin). The only person who needed to train and meditate on it was Yoda, really.

Star Wars on Blu-Ray is the big surprise? =O

I didn't know it wasn't on Blu-Ray yet. Mmmkay.

[Ouch!]

Maybe it will be Episodes IV-VI on Blu-Ray except the original cut not ruined by the ty CGI.

[charliepanayi]

No apparently the Blu-Ray will only have the Special Editions, not the originals. Tinkerman Lucas strikes again!

The Star Wars Blu-Rays Won't Include the Original Versions - Topless Robot

[Marshall Banana]

Argh!

[Jiro]

Han shot first, forever and always. smurf off Lucas you idiot

[G13]

This is some bull.

[Rostum]

I think Lucas is a bit of a Special Edition.

[charliepanayi]

Surely people expect this stuff from Lucas by now.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Well, huh. I thought the books were not canon. Shows what know. I figured Lucas wanted nothing to do with them, because they're usually decent and he's a moron.

Lucas can eat a bag of dicks.

[Rostum]

Surely people expect this stuff from Lucas by now.

I guess it's the same deal with Square-Enix. You had some great games originally, but they were mainly due to other people, then they get rid of them and start making crap - but you still hope they'll come to their senses because of your love for their old stuff.
