I'm sure he added on a "plllleasssssse!" at the end of that? No.<P>Andrew<P>------------------<BR>Homer: I'm gonna miss Springfield. This town's been awfully good to us.<BR> Bart: No, it hasn't, Dad.

I rememeber in the theatre that towards the climax of their epic saber-fight, Qui-Gon and Darth Maul are separated by one of those laser doors (What those things are I'll never understand). IIRC, Qui-Gon sits and begins to meditate while Maul is pacing back and forth like a caged animal. It is very tense, but Qui-Gon is centered. Obi-Wan is all distressed as could be expected. Then the doors open, and Qui-Gon leaps up with his light-sabre on and the battle continues. On the DVD the whole meditation thing never happened... I thought this illustrated the differences in their natures wonderfully, and I was pretty upset that it wasn't in there. I'd have to say that was one of my favorite things from the movie. (Well that and Jar-Jar. He is <i>so</i> funny. Silly clumsy Gungan.)<p>[ October 30, 2001: Message edited by: Balaam Xumucane ]</p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
