Drake is dreck.

That kind of reminds me of the few times I've suffered sleep paralysis. It's unnerving as hell, to say the least.

You could always wait until Frink finishes his version. ;)

Oh, I'll definately watch his version the first chance I get.  

 My new cut is two hours consisting of nothing but that scene looped over and over.

I'm fed up with this world. 

OBI-WAN37 strikes me more as a less-than-subtle troll than a naive kid (I could be wrong, though).

I am going to be having San Francisco chicken for diner tonight.

That must be one big chicken if it can serve as a diner. =P

Heck, my sister used to paint my nails and make me sing "Look at Me, I'm Sandra D." from Greese, and I still never wanted to snuggle up to a man.

It did make you want to make a woman suit for yourself, though, right? ;-)

Pro wrestling is a wierd thing. It's often exciting, sometimes dumb, occasionally impressive and frequently silly. 

But at it's best, the line between real and unreal ceases to matter, and it is larger than life pageant of the mythic made real.

I used to love professional wrestling when I was a kid, but it comes off as too phony for me to enjoy anymore.

I brought this topic up on TFN once, and largely to make an argument that such a small number of Jedi couldn't possibly have contributed much to the Clone Wars, and pretty much got silly replies that went along the lines of "The Jedi have Force powers, so thats makes them able to perform feats regular people can't".

I guess in their minds, each Jedi is as powerful as the Silver Age Superman. How they square this with the Jedi's pathetic demise at the hands of mundane clone troopers I'll never know (Maybe their blasters were powered by "Sithite". *rollseyes*).

I wish Hollywood would make a Superman movie inspired by the early post-Crisis Superman comics of the 80s & 90s.

At any rate, I think everyone here can agree that the portrayal of the Jedi as big, huge, prominent superheroes was a huge mistake.

Ugh. It hurts just to look at this abominable picture.

I know that one day, I'm going to have to force myself to watch ROTS again (don't ask why -- it's a long story), but I'm certainly not looking forward to it.

Unlike almost everyone else on these forums, I don't think there were too many Jedi in the prequels*. IMHO, the problem with the PT Jedi lies not with their numbers, but with their portrayal; if the PT Jedi had been less dogmatic, less hierarchal, more progressive, and more spiritual, no one would be complaining about how many Jedi there were.

*Frankly, I think there should have been more Jedi. According to the TPM novelization, there were only about 10,000 Jedi in existence at that time, and the PT itself pretty much corroborates this small number by never showing/alluding to the existence of other Jedi training centres beyond the Jedi Temple. Frankly, I find it extremely unrealistic that a religious order with a population smaller than my own modest-sized home town could ever serve as the guardians of peace and justice for an interstellar republic consisting of millions of worlds, therefore I think the Jedi should have numbered in the billions at the very least during the PT era.  

I don't like Neil Patrick Harris all that much, myself. That's due to me finding him annoying, though, not because he prefers testosterone to estrogen.

Boba Fett isn't gay??!?! That's a new one to me.

I thought that's why his father Jango went down the cloning option, instead of just getting a lady pregnant.

Nah, Janogo wasn't gay. His hydrospanner just wouldn't span, that's all. 

I found these two YouTube videos disturbingly amusing.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

In this reality, YouTube is known as UTube. Beyond that single difference, this universe is completely identical to Timeline-1.

FINAL NOTES

This Earth contributes to the rise of poor literacy throughout the multiverse, and as such, it should be destroyed by the Anti-Monitor.

As all of the post-Great Sith War wars dealing with the Sith are virtually indistinguishable from one another, they all could have been set during the New Sith Wars.

I prefer to read the year of 2000 as "twenty-hundred" rather than "two thousand" and the years 2001-2009 as "twenty-oh-_____" instead of "two-thousand-and-_____".

      Mozilla? Pffffffftt, that's nothing.

      We now have millions of homosexuals joining our enlightened masters in working themselves up into fits. They are agitating for a most intense confrontation with the 10 THOUSAND nuclear warheads in Russia's arsenal. Millions more who would normally oppose this sort of war mongering have gone off into the tall brush grumbling.

      Why? Because Putin DARED to say that the targeting of Russian boys by cruel predators is really not such a great thing. 

     These homosexuals were the the indispensible leaders of the effort to destroy the US position for stopping the Iran nuke program. Ya can't blame them. Dubya got political support from parents and grandparents who DARED to be unenthusiastic about RRRRAAAAAAMMMMMING "Guys who rub each other's excrement on their dicks are married" HHHAAAAAARRRRRRD down the throats of their children.

      Even if they are playing a game with Putin for a "limited" conflict, this is DANGEROUS BEYOND IMAGINING.

      Ya gotta love the Militant Homosexual Mindset (no, seriously, ya GOTTA LOVE them MHMs),  between arming the Iranians with nukes and joining the dove slaughtering satanic Jesuit operation to "help" the "Catholics" in the Ukraine, the MHM is fixin' to be the key indispensible factor in THE DESTRUCTION OF PLANET EARTH!!!

You should use some bolding and italicizing if you really want to get your message across.

^Especially since, unlike Lucas, they don't have an inane excuse to withhold the OOT.

I don't see how this topic warranted its own thread.

What if Anakin and Darth Vader were two separate pupils of Obi-Wan (this way we don't suspect Obi-Wan is lying when we get to ANH)?

I plan on going this route myself with my PT rewrite.

Basically, my plan is that in the last months of the last Clone War -- shortly after Anakin fell to the dark side and left Obi-Wan -- Ben rescued an orphaned infant named Darth Vader and decided to adopt him as his own son and raise him as a Jedi.

As the years passed, Darth grew to become a skilled Jedi apprentice. For one reason or another, however, he also grew to lack confidence in his own abilities; his greatest fear was that he had failed to properly digest the training and teachings Obi-Wan had given to him, that he was a disappointment to his adopted father.

Eventually, Anakin -- now the Lord of the Sith -- resurfaced and became aware of Darth. Preying upon the young Jedi apprentice's fears, Anakin gradually convinced Darth that he could only realize his full potential and prove himself to his father by embracing the power of the dark side. Thus, Darth Vader left the Jedi to become one of Anakin's Sith apprentices.

Sometime later, Anakin and Darth confronted Obi-Wan on Sullust and engaged him in a lightsaber duel. As the duel progressed, the two Sith beat Ben down, defeating him. Just as Anakin prepared to slay Ben, though, Darth refused to let his father die, and intervened by slicing Anakin's right hand off, disarming him of his lightsaber.

Calling one of Darth's lightsabers to his remaining hand, Anakin turned on his new apprentice, and the two engaged one another in a fierce battle which took them to the edge of a canyon leading down to a violent lava flow below. With a massive eruption, the edge they were standing on crumbled, and Anakin and Darth both tumbled into the magma river.

By calling on the dark side of the Force, Anakin created a protective shield around himself which prevented the intense heat from completely incinerating his body, and he escaped the lava flow with his life. Most of his body has been horribly burnt away, however, and that damage extended to his brain; he had lost most of his memories, including those of his own identity.

Since he had been engaged in battle with Darth when he plummeted into the magma, however, the name "Darth Vader" imprinted itself upon his mind, and Anakin came to believe that that was his own name. Palpatine soon found him and decided to use the Lord of the Sith's near-complete amnesia to his own advantage; using his own dark powers, Palpatine reshaped Anakin's mind, imprinting him with a completely new identity -- that of Darth Vader, unquestioning enforcer of Emperor Palpatine and his New Order.

As the years passed, most of Vader's memories returned to him and he recalled his own true identity. Yet out of a desire to keep this knowledge secret from Palpatine -- and out of a subconscious effort to disassociate the man he once was from the monster he had become -- he continued to use the name of Obi-Wan's second apprentice as his own.
