You've got to understand that not everything has to be explaned in black and white. Obi-Wan simply started going by "Ben" around the time of Luke and Leia's birth. His statement of "I haven't gone by Obi-Wan since, oh before you were born." makes perfect sense. You've just got to understand that he started calling himself that after their birth, which is what he implies anyway.


Make sure you copy & paste that once the "How does Leia remember her mother?" debate comes up again.


And what's wrong with my explanation? It makes perfect sense.

I actually think that, with her quirkyness, she might do an OK job. I like the idea that they are getting a woman to play God. That might open some people's eyes. However, the original film was very inspiring, and I'm afraid that this 2006 version will be just another crappy remake by the studios.


I'm sorry but George Burns is God. No one can play the part like him. Now, I don't have a problem with a women or a homosexual playing the part. I just can't stand Ellen Degeneres. She is like someone scratching their hand on a chalkboard. I think I'd prefer having teeth pulled without anesthesia, to watching her act.


I agree. partially. George Burns played the part very well, but I still feel that Ellen will pull it off well, um, as well.

It was translated and written by humans, who have an unfortunate tendency to consider all beings of greatness to be male. Plus, it is explained in that same book that God is not limited to what is found in human beings. God would be neither male nor female, but instead something greater.

And God must be asexual, as why would God have any use for sex?

I've seen stuff like that on TV too. Horrible. Bloody sensacionalist media. And they say that they must show "the truth, no matter at what cost", oh come on! That is no excuse to show stuff like that. So, based on their logic, I'm entitled to show porn at any time I want.


No. They mean that, when reporting news, they should have the right to show what really happens, instead of shielding their audience from the truth or telling outright lies. And they shouldn't be prevented from that, asthat runs into the ideals of a communist country (controlling what your audience does and doesn't see to the point of leaving out what you consider undesireable). I doubt a news association would have any reason to excessively show porn, however.
