do you follow Sith as a religion my lord? the sith are neither stupid or arrogant they just believe they can control everything and that ultimately leads to their downfall i've never been a die hard star wars fan but have seen all the films and the last 1 - revenge of the sith - was awesome! paramount should take a leaf out of lucas book regarding space battles! it was well played out and i loved it when the camera was panning over the hull of the ships and stuff. there just seems no sense of depth in star trek space battles. allow me to demonstrate rather feably.

edit - demonstration was crap so i got rid lol

battles in star trek seem like they are in a striaght like facing each other directly innit lol i dunno where all that came from. my train of thought is chaos. and chaos rules mwahahahaha

the sith are always beating the crap out of each other for no reason, because without a strong enemy they betray each other till there's nothing left.

Hun...html...you killed my poor little horizontal scrolly bar

No I don't, but their greed for power does cause sith lords to turn on each other, however that's how the Sith operate. One of the fundemental teachings of the Sith are "As soon as you feel you are strong enough to kill me young one, do, and when you do, you will make a powerful leader." The Sith of higher rank always need to watch their backs, their padawans are always trying to kill them...Doesn't the Klingon ranks structure work the same way?

Yes, battles in the starwars universe are very indepth and beautifully executed, huge battlefields filled with ships, not simple fleets of ships pointing directly at each other. Star wars ships are much like real navy ships, the most powerful cannons are on the sides, and as such, you don't see Imperial Star Destroyers facing their enemies, they are always turned to the side. The Confederacy of Independant Systems made pre-imperial dreanaught ships, you saw one in the third movie, which was the best of the prequels , General grevious' ship, they attack enemies sideward which, if you ever played the episode three game, is because they have large capital assault cannons on the sides of the ship, designed so they pull along side and tear it to bits, like cannons on navy ships in that respect.

you can't help but gawp in awe at george lucas vision in those prequels, i know i cant. its decided - i'm gonna make a space film using models of navy ships!

Awe of the third one, the other two were a joke..."Midi chloralines" please...Like the Force is a bunch of germs...you know the British used to believe the same thing, washing would remove some kind of holy protective membrane...I can't remember what they called it, but it's about as stupid as that to impose the fact that the Force is not spiritual, but biological, however it would explain how the Force is transmitted through genetics, such as Luke being as strong in the Force as his father.

Princess Leia was, however she had not been tuned to the Force so to speak, it takes training to realize your connection to the Force, Luke wasn't until Obi-Wan trained him, and yes, Leia is Lukes sister, born of Padmé and seperated from his sister for his and her own safety, keeping her hidden from Darth Vader, or so Obi-wan had hoped. "Gay" offensive...They were bad movies however, and Lucas did do a good job on episode III, however I still don't think it was better than the originals.

I know that the powers structure works that way in mirror universe terrin empire.

lol gay means something diffent to me. it meant happy in the old days it means homosexual now, i mean it in a differnt way, u find it offensive, tough, i don't mean it in an offensive way.

question - in the star wars universe can anybody be tuned in to the force? even if they have no history of jedi/sith in their family?

Nice picture SHO260 Exactly like that

Frodo, yes, anyone can be attuned to the Force because the Force flows through everyone, however being strong enough in the Force to manipulate in the ways the Sith Lords and Jedi Masters do is rare, anyone can be taught to see, and feel through the Force however.

EDIT: Apparently my sexuality is a total topic killer...I deleted it so that the conversation could continue

No, theres several species that can't be attuned to the force, in fact theres some species that get negatively affected by it, take the Gotals for example.

i thought they were trained to resist the force, and that training made them blind to it. or something like that.

Wait sorry, got caught up in Last Command. I think its Gammoreans, not Gotals. Something with a G. I should read that book again.

Many things about life, beliefs even more so, are just perception. Right and wrong are judged by people in power. Imagine a world without the law against murder, without christianity (which was the first "law")to tell you that you'll go to "heck"(censor tongue.gif) if you kill someone. We wouldn't think anything of killing someone, because no one dubbed murder "evil". Do you see what I mean? So many things in life, are just how you look at them smile.gif

Thats right if you believe that there is no force or god. But at first I want to refer that StarWars is a movie out of a human´s fantasy and the belief in the Force is an elemental part of this story. Never forget: You are living now...before the movie, 200 years ago there was NO Force...and suddenly there should be one....how many billion years the force has not existed? Thats the power of people´s conceit caused by a movie.

I´m a christian, and use another explanation of what you believe in. Your image of christianity is a bit "wrong" and influenced by prejudices and maybe things that you heard about. I bet you never lived like a real christian or felt the way we do. I definetely not running around ( or not) and pray humbly to my downpushing god and all that untrue crap which is meant by so many to be a real accrued ( If you talk about such things you mean the church...even the chruch was created by humans, not by god! )

Definition Good or Evil:

I want to be understanding for you when I say that if there is a god who is creator of all you can see, feel (for that example in an emotional way), smell etc. Space and time , matter, the evil and the good, the way we think about things like good or evil and all what´s in our head now; then god defines about what is evil and what is good. God did it before creating a world we see and know.
I´m sure many think "...ha! what a god...all christians say they were free, they were the good one and the murderer was the evil one!"

Your definition about freedom is superficial if you think freedom would only be the ability to choose the fact that "evil" is "good" and "good" is "evil". Think reversed, why do i not have the freedom to choose my own god...for example me as my own god?
Christianity has never been a law, what you mean is the church who made this laws, not the religion or god. Your freedom is in that superficial way to decide if you want to follow the law or not. 2 options. Not more not less. BUT what is good for you and your soul is not in your hand. Where do you feel lucky and happy...where is your home?

Don´t forget you are part of a creation and own your specific place in the entire world. In that way you are NOT free.
A fish feels free in water in the ocean or a lake but his space is limited he would die outside the water, he would feel bad and die after a while. That is what is defined as freedom by god. Its more than a simple decision. You have a conscience and never can explain it why, but it´s there. The knowledge about good and evil is there and noone can explain it why.
And before i start to think in english I better stop here... this theme is to huge to talk about on this forum you will be confronted in your real life with that...don´t worry
It needs time and age

I see...this is going to be very strenuous...
