I have to say, these three had not occurred to me. I'm not sure I like the idea of a fall to the Dark Side being inspired by getting the attention of a girl. They could fight over her, sure, I'm all for that! But what on earth would Ben be doing that Anakin would need the Dark Side to beat? Impress her with his Sith Cutlery skills? Oh, hang on...

I'm sure the Jedi Academy would have a Sex Ed. module ("Erect it will become...").

And I don't see the point of the last one at all. I'm afraid it seems a bit overblown to me. A bit silly.

I can relate to most of the others, though.
