Star Wars discussion (SPOILERS INCLUDED)

[Freddy Rumsen]

Watched Episode V for the 994th time in my life tonight with the kids.

It get better each time I watch it.

All 4 of my kids (9, 7, 4, 2) have seen it at least a dozen times, still sat with rapped attention for two hours. So awesome.

[meow]

Even my 17 month old will watch for huge chunks at a time. It's amazing.

Read a couple interesting fan theories about the SW universe. Namely, that Qui-Gon Jin was a Sith, and Boba Fett (not Stormtroopers) 'disintegrated' Owen and Beru Lars

Both points are ridiculous. What reason does Fett have to kill Owen and Beru?

[meow]

Cause he's the Fett and he DGAF

Both points are ridiculous. What reason does Fett have to kill Owen and Beru?

Also, what evidence is there that points to that he killed them?

[tifosi77]

What reason does Fett have to kill Owen and Beru?

What reason did Stormtroopers have?

Think to the bounty hunters scene in Ep V: From the course of the conversation, it comes across as if Vader has worked with at least some of them in the past. Particularly worth noting that he specifically warns Fett to not disintegrate anyone, as if that had been a problem in the past.....

To your question, Stormtroopers would have no motive to frame Tusken Raiders for the assault on casa de Lars or the Jawas (who, it should be noted, in six movies are the only people we see disintegrated). Kenobi also points out how accurate the blast points are on the Sandcrawler, which is absolutely not something the non-clone Stormtroopers of this timeline are really known for. Boba Fett, progeny of the source of the clone troopers, however..........

It's just a loopy fan theory to explain why Fett was on Tatooine during the events of Ep IV (that stupid fan service scene of Jabba and Han talking in docking bay 94 at Mos Eisley, ugh). The fan theory posits that Fett was searching for the droids, but I think it's way more cool to imagine that he was actually searching for the son of Padmé and Anakin. And if it were true, it makes Fett one of the most important characters in the SW universe; without seeing his family mauled, Luke may have never left Tatooine to become a Jedi and join the rebellion.

[Freddy Rumsen]

That actually makes a lot of sense.

[Kaiser]

Whats the idea behind qui-gon being a sith?

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Something about training Anakin and knowing he'll end up evil I bet

[PFiDC]

Of course he would end up evil. He was prophesied to bring balance to the force which was overwhelmingly in favor of the light side at his birth.

This.

This is the biggest thing that i never understood in Lucas' story. The Jedi leaders keep saying that prophecy is that Anakin is to bring "balance to the force"... yet, at the time, there are hundreds of Jedi and no known Sith. Therefore balance would be to either kill off all of the Jedi (zero-zero) or spawn a boatload of Sith (hundreds-hundreds). It is like the Jedi Masters do not know what the word "balance" meant.

[meow]

I don't think balance means equal numbers. It is more equal power. So actual numbers don't really matter if one sith is as powerful as say 10 jedis.

Or one Sith (albeit an unknown one early on) is gaining control of the entire republic.

[NAN]

He didn't have a red lightsaber. end/

[Kaiser]

He also was there in ghost form at some point, can a sith do that?

I wasn't even talking about numbers. The force was overwhelmingly powerful on the light side. Anakin could only have been sith.

[Dickie Dunn]

He certainly looks like a Sith Lord.

[Silentom]

Guess those Jedi reflexes weren't all that handy.

[Jim]

Friends don't let friends pop their collars.

Vader was at the end of VI, no?

Yes. (But bastardized in the Lucas revision).
