I still think that an ideal villain is Leia.  In a way, it's a chance for the idea of the prequels to be redeemed... that is, unlike PT Anakin, we actually LIKE Leia. For her to turn to the dark side would be tragic.  Also, I can see her made up like the Emperor, shrieking maniacally - would be scarier than the Emperor, actually.

 

Leia is the best choice for a villain. Force empowered, part of the Skywalker lineage and played by a capable actress. As one of the good guys Leia would now be dull. She would be little more than a Mon Mothma clone. But as a villain she could be as powerful and as potent a character as she was in the OT and prove that not all Star Wars villains are old men, cyborgs or baldies (think Jean Marsh in Willow) but yes shrieking would be too much like ROTS Palpatine after the mask came on.

I don't mind the idea of Leia as a villain. It's the idea of seeing her in Palpatinesque makeup that scares the bejeezus out of me.

For being one with the Force Obi-Wan seemed more out of tune with it than Luke in Return of the Jedi.

Obi-Wan wants Luke to kill Vader. Luke doesn't want to and eventually doesn't have to. Being a spirit residing within the Force Obi-Wan appears unable to foresee any other alternatives to their fight than Luke using lethal force. Whatever happened to trusting your feelings or wars not making one great?

Obi-Wan's line after Luke tells him he can't kill his father: "Then the Empire has already won." should have been left out and something else put in like "The alternatives to fighting Vader won't be easy but I'm not against you seeking them out."

This is why I prefer to believe that becoming a Force ghost doesn't actually mean becoming one with the Force.

I've noticed that some of the more rapid Protestants like to label anything that isn't Protestantism -- be it non-Protestant Christianity or even seperate religions -- as a cult.

What does speed have to do with their tendency to label non-Protestants as cults? ;)

      For Christianity, other religions ARE cults. It can be argued that turning Christian Faith into a "religion" is to turn it into a cult.

Ah, yes, that tired, worn out "Christianity isn't a religion, it's a relationship" BS.

Any spiritual belief system with creeds and doctrines is a religion, regardless of which -- if any -- deity is worshipped, and Christianity in all its forms is certainly no exception.

Am I hallucinating or did DuracellEnergizer just post that? ^^

 No it really happened and wowie zowie if we had a dearth of women on here already...

Jeez louise. You guys make it out as if I listed them by racial superiority. It's an aesthetic/sexual preference, that's all, no different from a preference for certain hair or eye colours.

For some reason or other, I got the impression from the ROTJ novelization that the Endor planet disappeared under mysterious circumstances, like it was eaten by some Lovecraftianesque entity or something when no one was looking.

Then I'm really curious about what you think of this article. =P

Eh, I don't find most Asian women all that attractive. Too many are flat and boney.

I find Asian women much more attractive than black women. Well tastes are different. :)

I feel the same way, actually. If I were to rate women by race, I'd rate them like this:

1. White women

2. Native American women

3. Middle Eastern women/Indian women (tie)

4. Asian women

5. Australian Aboriginal women

6. Black women

Of course, there are exceptions, especially when biracial women are taken into consideration.

...I want to see Sydow as Sydow, not the disembodied voice of some plastic blob from planet CGI.

love that definition. Mind if I take it?

Nope. Feel free to use it to your heart's content.

I find it sad that they actually have an article devoted to Yoda's lightsaber.

The Cryptkeeper has amazing blue eyes.

From my reading of his post, he thought Hayden in ROTJ wasn't actually Hayden, but an actor cast way back in '83 who looked like Hayden, since he wasn't aware that Lucas had tampered with the OT prior to his watching of it.

Eh, I don't find most Asian women all that attractive. Too many are flat and boney.

^That certainly is random.

^Yoda with a teal lightsaber!? NOT CANON!!!

I, for one, am very pleased by the new casting choices.

Here's hoping that Von Sydow's performance will be one for the ages!

I'm sure his reinvention of Jar Jar Binks will be remembered as one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema.

God, I hope not. I want to see Sydow as Sydow, not the disembodied voice of some plastic blob from planet CGI. 

Wouldn't that have worse quality than the GOUT?

Isn't Sadako female?

We must all remember that The Clone Wars was awesome and it had lame crap like laser bows as well.

TCW was just okay to me ... *shrug* 

^I hope you're not talking about the lightslingshot. ;-)

The more I think about it, the more I want to see Jedi in the ST who use weapons other than lightsabers in battle.

It would serve as a more plausible explanation for the Empire falling within a day.

Still, a Mandalorian graffiti artist ... it's just odd.

I hope modern Hollywood never tries to remake The Seventh Seal.
