So tell me something, just who was Luke’s equal in the dark side in the OT? As one rises in one side of the force, another rises on the opposite side, right? It couldn’t have been Vader, he rose to power a lot early in the PT and he didn’t get more powerful as Luke got more powerful. Also if that idea is true, there should have been a lot more dark jedis around during the PT, one for every jedi.

not really. I understood that line to have more to do with their being no existing light side users for the force to balance against, so it all manifested in one place. If Luke wasn’t cut off from the force, i think things would have been different.

that is not how I read it all.

Also, its all made up stuff anyway.

I’m sorry, but there is no reason to say this.

1. we all know that

2. that could excuse any continuity error/plot hole in any fiction.

3. it being true, doesn’t mean the fiction universe shouldn’t make sense.

4. its lame to say it

I agree with this. If it’s “all made up stuff anyway,” then why should we discuss it? There’s no reason to discuss the details of any fiction if you accept that excuse.

you do realize that i added the ‘and its all made up anyway’ as a mostly throw-away joke after my answer? But i guess lets focus on that. sorry if Warb felt i was insulting him, i wasn’t.

In ESB, Obiwan says that if Luke goes to face Vader he will face him alone, “I can not help you”. But look what Yoda did in TLJ. Sure seems like Obiwan could have lent a hand now.

different people. different circumstances.

um no, same universe. same force. Either force ghosts can do what Yoda can do in TLJ or they can’t. Unless you the movie explains how the force somehow changed and now force ghosts can do things they couldn’t do before. But no explanation was giving.

Also, all made up.

read what I wrote above about that.

just because one force ghost does something, doesn’t mean all can. and even if all can, doesn’t mean all will.

different people. different circumstances.

what about a thread for people to post in, but i can’t see it…

That’s a bit insensitive, poor old one-handed Luke…

LOL!

damn, that is very poor movie etiquette… he should be banned from all theaters, for ever.

I miss playing with Legos.

Found the ones I am saving for my kids when doing some rearranging… Just a few more years before I can get them out again!

It’s a flu!

That sucks,

I want to bitch about shelves and other hard/sharp edged objects that hang out in the area between your line of sight and the top of your head.

I put a nice dent in my forehead while cleaning off a desk. Have a band-aid on it now.

There’s that detail 😉

LoL.

I like yhwx’s attention to detail (most of the time).

Fo made one, I’m almost certain.

JEDIT: It was Trident.

Oops, yeah that’s the one.

I’m gonna go ahead and say no to both of those, because i don’t think they are serious requests.

Also, we already have a “compliment another member” thread.

well, then we got some kinda freaky friday thing going on.

but, no cause for alarm, that is quite normal around here.

Nope nothing. But I am feeling hungry.

Alarms spanning one hour, ten minutes apart. I’m usually up by the :40 alarm, but not always.

Pretty similar here.

I hate getting up.

In college I remember I had to put my alarm across the room so that I had to get out of bed to turn it off. Otherwise I would consistently turn it off in my sleep. This was before cell phones were a common thing.

It worked well, except once or twice I rather hurt myself getting down from the top bunk in a sleepy stupor. I usually aimed for the couch or recliner when sliding down, but at least once my foot went between the arm and the cushion, where all the metal recliner buts are. That freaking hurt.

I still occasionally sleep through my alarms.

…you and I aren’t the same person, are we?

Only one way to find out. Punch yourself in the face and I’ll see if I feel anything.

SISTER: *asleep*
BROTHER: (no comment, immediately left to play video games)

That’s a quality Movie.

Lol
