Ok, I have a question. At the end of the first movie Yoda says something to the effect of "Powerful in the force be he. Great fear we have for his training." or something. But then they go ahead and give the job of training the most powerful Jedi over to Obi-Wan, who just became a Jedi himself!

Wouldn't that be like saying "Oh yeah Jim over here has the potential to be the most amazing and destructive fighter pilot the world has ever seen so....lets give the job of training him to Bubba. He just graduated from flight school, so it's like still fresh in his mind and stuff." How does that make any sense at all?

/yeah I know it's just a movie
//oh, and too bad about the smashed windows

This guy needs to be put away and never let out. If you don't have your shiat together by the time you're 29 and you still make stupid comments to cops about "anger issues", you really don't belong out in society with the rest of us.

Grow up, Josh.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Yoda wasn't in the first... Oh! Episode 1. Okay, I'm with you now. ;)

I think it was because they were counting on them making a brotherly bond, being close in age, Obi-Wan having been there when Anakin was discovered, etc. Plus it gave Obi-Wan something to do rather than grieve his master. Once Qui-Gon died, Obi-Wan kind of took a step up, I thought. Maybe Obi-Wan was just that awesome. He was on the Council pretty quickly (once that hideous padawan haircut grew out) and we know Yoda didn't like young, newly graduated Jedi on the Council. At least that was the song & dance he gave Anakin.

I'm sure the boys in Cell Block B will be happy to help him cure his little anger problem.

simplicimus: No, fear is the mind killer.



If someone smashed out my windows I'd gom jabbar their ass into the middle of next week.

No ... it is supposed to be like this:

Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to me doing the God damn dishes every night.

some day you may slip on the stairs
and become very special in your own way

simplicimus: No, fear is the mind killer.
Pegasus_CAG: Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
Pribar: I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me

Arrakis... Dune... desert planet... the worm... spice...

Pribar: simplicimus: No, fear is the mind killer.
Pegasus_CAG: Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me

And when the fear has passed, I will turn my inner eye to see fear's path. And where the fear was there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

The council didn't want Anakin trained at all. Obi-Wan defied them and said he was going to train Anakin regardless so the council relented and allowed Obi-Wan to train him.

And randomly busting up sh*t you don't own can lead to sh*ttng teeth and Louisville Slugger splinters for a week.

bdub77: Ok, I have a question. At the end of the first movie Yoda

This is a trick question, since the first movie was Star Wars (which Yoda wasn't in) and episodes 1-3 don't exist.

THEY DON'T EXIST!

^

Yoda says a lot of retarded things in the prequels, but at least he sums up everything in ESB, "wars not make one great." True that, Yoda, you were not a wartime consigliere.

Wallace is charged with three counts of causing injury to real or personal property

Does that mean you can cause damage to imaginary property? If so, I have some paperwork I need to file.

Wyldfire: Does that mean you can cause damage to imaginary property?

If that's true there are some creepers out there that owe me big time.

SSSsssssssss......

You know; I liked episode 1 when it came out. In my defense, I was 10; and had a passion for star wars and anything star wars related. Plus, I had a huge crush on natalie portman (still do as a matter of fact).

Anyway, it wasn't till episode 2 that I realized, "hey, this new trilogy is an unmitigated disaster and hayden christiansen looks like he's about to cry". I did, however, enjoy some parts. Like samuel L jackson beheading jango fett. I also liked the fight in the lava river in episode 3. I especially enjoyed hayden getting burned alive.

You know what's the kick? I gave permissions to all scripts, and it still wouldn't show.

I don't remember 'Smash their windows' as a dialogue option. You must be on a totally different quest than I am. My Sith just force lightnings EVERYTHING.

My personal version of this statement is from back in the late 80's:

Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to working for Toys R Us, which then leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to working for Toys R Us during the Christmas season, which leads to broken car windows in the parking lot.

Never broke one myself, but the temptation was there, and I had to clean up the glass from several in my time there.
