  1. As far as the rendering post RotJ EU non-canon goes, I'm not overly bothered; it's worth remembering that EU always was, according to GL, 2nd class canon next to the movies anyway(which also goes for the novelizations of the movies; they are interpretations of the source - the movies themselves).

    Never forget, a wise man(or should that be wise guy?) once said "a great many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view".

  2. Also dont forget a space marines organs and metabolism. They have 2 hearts. Their flesh repairs itself. Their blood coagulates in seconds.... Even sticking a lightsabre (on the off chance it could penetrate their armour) in a space marine would probably not kill him... So whilst the jedi is wondering why the space marine hasnt gone down yet during his backswing.... he gets a power claw or power fist to the face.

     

    Actually, none of a Space Marine's alterations would really save him from having a lightsaber jammed into him.

    Just like any other organic, the water in his organs would flash boil(the lightsaber having a temperature roughly what you'd have experienced at ground zero in Hiroshima), so even though his blood would clot quickly, he'd still have been cooked.

  3. The galatic sanate put taxes on there trade route's wich cost them alot of money.

    They blockade naboo as a blackmail tool.

     

    As for why naboo i dont of know offical reson.

    Meaby it was rich in resourse meaby it was out of the way who know's.

     

    Unofficaly darth sidous wanted them too.

    Tho we could argue for hours how they got in lugue with the sith.

     

    And what exactly did the Trade Federation have to do with the Seperatists, then?

  4. To the guy that says that Star Wars are all about good, happy endings. Maybe in a long run and still it can be read in different ways but just looking at the movies:

     

    EP 1 - happy ending

    EP 2 - grim ending

    EP 3 - grim ending

    EP 4 - happy ending

    EP 5 - grim ending

    EP 6 - happy ending

     

    So yea happy, good always triumphs my ***. And what would be a problem if a new star wars movie was made and the antagonist would be vanquished by protagonist using the dark side?

     

    You're ignoring the fact that those 6 movies are just one story - that of the rise, fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. That story has a happy ending.

    LotR has something similar - the edning of the Fellowship isn't exactly all happy-clappy, and neither is that of the Two Towers.

  5. Yes I have paid attention.

     

    Also when Order 66 was put in place troopers smashed Jedi like flys.

     

    Jango also just shoots Jedi dead.

     

     

    One thing I've noticed about Star Wars Lore. The volume of Jedi/Sith is inversly propertional to their power. In other words, when there are 10 or 20 forces users in existence they rock, but when there are thousands they always grow weak.

  6. I don't think it's that simple, not when you factor in the Clone Wars series.

     

    These Jedi have worked alongside their troops for, in some cases, YEARS. I can see getting blindsided by the Order 66 event, even if just for a few seconds.

     

    Now, should they have been suspicious of the incredibly convenient clone army at the start? Absolutely, but by the time the betrayal comes, I could see all but the most pessimistic and suspicious Jedi being caught at least a little unaware.

     

    Then again, IITS -- It's In The Script. The Jedi were caught flatfooted and slaughtered because they had to be in setting the stage for "A New Hope."

     

    Want to really get depressed? Aside from Anakin, Windu, and the other members of the Council that went to arrest Palpatine (since they directly opposed him, or in Anakin's case at least was there for the event), all those Jedi killed by their troops were still loyal to the Republic and likely died never knowing why they were being killed.

     

    It's sad to see, but you're right, there were so many precautions that could have been taken.

     

    Hell, I often wonder why the Republic didn't just let the Separatists LEAVE. Better to see worlds leave the Republic at the stroke of a pen in some kind of treaty recognizing them as their own soverign entity than through years of bloody civil war.

     

    Take it and run,

     

    You answered it yourself - IITS. Maybe, like Kazahkstan, one of the Seperatist worlds if the greatest exporter of potassium, and all other worlds have inferior potassium?

  7. Knock bakcs are fun. Annoying when you're the one being booted into fire/acid/hole in the Voidstar. Bun fun as hell when you do it to someone else.

    I like to yell 'FORE' when I do it.
