  1. "Subtle diplomatics" by Viceroy Gunray "Advanced spaceship engineering: advantages of placing fragile reactors in hangar bays" by the Chief Engineer of the Trade Federation "How to perform swift executions" by Poggle the Lesser "Surprise orbital bombardments: how to gain approval from your commanding officer" by Admiral Ozzel One I would definitely buy: "Scruffy looks: how to get the best of them" by Han Solo
  2. What a cool name to have!!! Wonder if I can name my son "Darth"...
  3. Lol, you just mentioned the worst plot device present in the prequels, IMO... Padme dies of a broken heart. Not even Jar Jar is worse that this, lol! But, back on-topic, as someone has already mentioned, the visions were quite obscure. Maybe the Jedi Council may have been able to make sense of the visions, maybe not. From Anakin´s point of view, he saw that Padme was going to die at childbirth, and, again, I don´t think that the Jedi could avoid that, and they would have told Anakin so. So I still think that allowing Anakin marry Padme MAY have prevented his fall, but I´m not sure it would have. In fact, if I´d have to bet on it, I´d say that Anakin was too inmature for such a responsability... He still needed to achieve more control of his emotions before getting married (assuming he would have been able to do so without keeping it a secret).
  4. I agree that the restriction on marriage is too extreme, don´t get me wrong. But I´m not so sure about what would have happened if Anakin had been allowed to marry Padme, and thus hadn´t been forced to keep it a secret. Would the Council have been able to avoid his fall to the Dark Side? I don´t think they could have helped him save Padme, since his visions were of her dying at childbirth... I don´t know if the Jedi could have done something to avoid that. Maybe they would have tried to appease him and tell him to be ready to let go of her when the time came. Do you think that Anakin would have accepted that? Again, I don´t know what would have happened. But IMO the danger is there... Not saying Jedi marriage should be restricted, but yes controlled somehow.
  5. I agree completely with this. People tend to misunderstand the Jedi Code, IMO. As someone mentioned earlier, the meaning of the Code can be seen many times in the movies, even the prequels. In Ep. 1 you can see Obi-Wan fighting with anger after Qui-Gon is killed, but he doesn´t let that anger consume him. The same thing happens with Luke in Ep. 6. We also see the effects love can have in what happens to Anakin... ultimately he falls because he wants to protect his wife, whom he loves very much. That doesn´t mean that the same thing would happen to any Jedi who has a romantic relationship, but for someone as arrogant and weak-willed as Anakin it proved to be too dangerous. Eventually, he has become so consumed by his emotions that he begins to think irrationally... he fails to see Palpatine´s intentions, and in Mustafar he even thinks that Obi-Wan means to drive Padme away from him (again, failing to see that what has driven Padme away were his own actions). That´s exactly what the Jedi Code warns against.
  6. You´re right, seeing how the title was before the change does seem to indicate that "the Jedi" refers to the Order rather than Anakin. Thanks for the heads up!
  7. Actually, there´s an interesting origin on this question I posted here. I´m from Argentina, and in Spanish we use different articles to describe singular and plural nouns (while in English one simply uses "the" in both cases). The Spanish translation used here in Argentina for the title of Ep. 6 uses the singular article, so one thinks that the title is referring to the return of one particular Jedi (which I would assume to be Anakin). But I´ve always wondered if they gave it the right translation here... Judging by what all of you are saying, they actually didn´t make a good translation of the title, which I find quite interesting and amusing! Hope the explanation I wrote above is clear. Thanks for your replies!
  8. This is something I´ve always wondered... The title of Ep. 6 "Return of the Jedi" refers to Anakin returning from the Dark Side to the Light Side and becoming once again a Jedi Knight? Or does it refer to the Jedi returning to their position of guardians of peace and justice, symbolized by Luke and the redeemed Anakin ending Palpatine´s rule? (or maybe another meaning I didn´t think about). What are your thoughts about it? I´m sorry if this has already been brought upon, or if it´s basic SW lore... I just could never find it anywhere!
  9. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Satele_Shan Read the part that refers to her powers and abilities. She kicks ***, that´s for sure. Remember that she´s Bastila´s as well as Revan´s descendant... she has some mean Force power inside her!
  10. For me it´d be between Leia and Bastila. I´ll give it to Leia for being played by an actual human being... Carrie Fisher´s golden bikini will be remembered for millenia!
  11. Don´t mean to troll, at all, but... Am I the only one who was reminded of battlebug´s epic thread here?
  12. My thoughts exactly. The OP is experiencing a bug and is absolutely right about reporting it. In fact, he has every right to be upset and angry about it. But posting a thread like that will only provoke people to react against him... I don´t think he can complain about it.
  13. Never thought this could happen! I´d actually never even considered the possibility... You, sir, will remain in the history of MMO´s. Kind of Leroy Jenkins, but in a good way! Cheers! Edit: ... the Undecided would be a great title! Also could be ... the Hesitant, or ... the Doubtful.
