Out of Pod Experience

I only found out that there was a 40 years celebration right around my 10th birthdate after I saw the trailer.

If you notice, the link is not the original but a media reference instead.

The Thor 3 trailer happened to come 1 day or so so before (if not 2 or 3 days).

There was in fact a lot of 40 years celebration for over 4 days or so, which I had no idea about.


What else is new? Speculation as to who is Anakin Skywalker's father and the related midi-chlorian counts and even speculation as to who it could be when in fact it probably is not.
According to those records, which I will not link here at this time, the midi-chlorian count of Anakin Skywalker is generalized down to some 60% +/-10%, and there can only be one.
(hint: it's also not confirmed yet, so I won't spoil it.)

There is a gray Jedi introduced in the movie from the Universe (Star Wars Universe) , but there is more to it.
I also cannot verify it at this time as I tried to verify info on Thrawn and my computer was stalled to death.
Also, consider that perception is a psychological concept in itself, and you can see the psychological warfare in Star Wars, as it's what it's about.

In Star Wars Galaxies, you could not be a neutral Jedi, you had to be either one or the other, although you could switch side, somehow, but I have never tried it yet.
I think I was like level 5 out of some 60 or 90 levels, so even before becoming an apprentice.

I've not been interested enough to follow anything other than the 7 films, so I can't comment on Clone Wars/Rebels/Legends malarky. I will however say this:

If you listen to George's interviews long enough, you realise he changes his mind about things. A LOT.

Given he's both heavily influenced by and friends with Joseph Campbell, I tend to value my own interpretation rather than listen to the exceptionally dry statements of Mr Lucas.

I think the true joy of SW is how it speaks to people individually. A slew of authors got rich writing books on the Buddhism or Christianity (or whatever) of Star Wars. While there are indeed a HUGE amount of dualistic references (the synthetic hands of the Skywalker lads, the 011 on the stormtrooper's backs) one only needs to study western mysticism for a short time to find ambiguity there too, eg both the Christ and Lucifer being referred to as the morning star.

SW walks a tightrope between being highly entertaining kids flicks and a deeply woven mythological fable. Similar to EvE, you get out of it what you see in it, and this is the real value of any kind of investment. After all, there were NO purple lightsabers until Samuel L wore poor old George out.

I think the original book from which Star Wars was drawn from was called
The Adventures of Luke Skywalker

Han shot first was also raised by fans due to tactical issues, Jabba and so on (consequences, self-defense).

Most of it doesn't work so much with me as I haven't seen the new creation even though I'm offered work in this field of work for movie sets, or labs, for that matter, since 1993+.

However, I plan to analyze this later on, and draw back from my previous 1977 experience to 1983 as I already had an original version of the book (and no, it definitely was never called a New Hope, until Episode 1 or after).
I believe some of the unique thing in my version was the unique cover which was in low print and still was not found again after 20 years+ of research and extremely peculiar legal condition leaving more than a trace of signature .


Where do you draw your notion for "saint-like", just curious?
No offense or not, but it seems to be your own opinion rather than to be based on greater moral issues, caused, factors, facts, conditions, and so on...



I am planning on getting back into Star Wars Galaxies, and I need my SWG CD / DVD to be able to get back in, as the XP system on which the CD and expansions are loaded on is no longer supported by MS (and that means that it would get destroyed if reaching the internet, and yes, that even with VPN, proxy or other added security, like anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware and so on).
I will also need to bring my newer desktop from storage for it though, or buy a new one, which may be next Friday, from my paycheck, and get the original CD as it will most likely not function without it anymore.

My reference to saintliness is referring to the "good vs evil/dualism" angle, ie; Han was originally more of a badass which doesn't fit in with Mr Lucas' later day statements.

Allow me one more attempt at explaining my point, which essentially is referring to the one raised above about "western dichotomies" vs "eastern philosophies", which is in of itself another "vs" and another dichotomy itself. Naturally, this is in the context of SW and Lucas' evolution as an artist. George later claimed the "good vs evil" angle was his point, "selfish" people being the baddies. Anakin/Vader wasn't really that selfish, he was however overtly attached to his emotions.

Darth (from Da'ath, the hidden 11th Gate of the Sephiroth in Kabbalah) means knowledge / gnosis / wisdom... the recognition of the shadow self. The notion of Skywalker being the chosen one bringing balance to the Force actually HAS to involve removing both the bloated Jedi Order and the Sith, restoring it to a balanced twin power. This of course being the Skywalker children, Leia being the love "attachment" that Luke overcomes once he follows the Way of the Force. We already know Luke's attempt at rebuilding the Jedi Order screwed up the balance, and now his nephew is all Dark and crap. I'm seeing the Yin and Yang pretty aptly demonstrated here. To loop it back to the thread title, it's "time for the Jedi... to end".

Of course, like you said, this is simply my opinion. I'm hardly a SW turbonerd, and only regard parts III, IV and V as good films. I've in the past lectured on comparative mythology in contemporary culture, and am used to the criticism I'm overthinking things from my students (who to paraphrase Yoda: often do not possess "the deepest commitment or a serious mind"). Unfortunately, both thinking and in-depth study of metaphysics are not popular, especially in the context of kids flicks and modern fairy tales.

Take it or leave it. As said, SW is made to be enjoyed any way you want, I'm just crapping on about why I enjoy it.
