*L* Andrew--i wasn't referring to that post. just this thread in general. rather nitpicky. actually, if scarlet pommers is the one who played amidala and padme, then i agree, she was a very good actress. i think she's very pretty too, once you get all that horrid makeup off her.

Hey Sol! Who said you can post while I'm posting?!

Which ship? The fighter is supposedly 11m, and the Queen's ship is supposedly 76m.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO Star Wars ship length discussions, please for the love God. I done ship length discussions on Star Trek and Babylon 5 (B5 I done on 2 websites). If this started in Star Wars it would drive me crazy.

Tora: I must reply to something you said. We hear in ESB from Yoda that Jedis are very serious and sober. I think we see that in Liam Neeson. Do I approve? Not whole-heartedly. Why can't we see an exuberant, extraverted Jedi for once? How about a Jedi slob? How about a Jedi who's a jerk? (But still good in the end.) Jedis are supposed to be good at concealment. How about a 007-type Jedi who can wine and dine with the social elite of the galaxy for intelligence work? (Lucas would make a ton on that flick.) My gripe is that Jedis are cool, but we may not be seeing the whole range of different personalites and specialties. I'd like to see a little variety.

The Jedi have become one with the universe, hence the sober attitude. An extravert would just cut himself with the Lightsaber. Qui-Gon was probley the wildest Jedi we'll see.

Well, that's probably true, Kosh, (and a good point) but even those who are considered "one with the universe" have moments of exuberance. There is an anchient Chinese motif of a fat laughing man on a donkey; the man is Lao Tzu, considered by many to be one of the foremost enlightened beings ever to live. Extraversion isn't exclusionary to enlightenment, just not a largely covarying characteristic. I agree that most Jedis are a bit dreary at parties, but an effective peacekeeping force (of over 10,000 according to one of those encyclopedias I see) is bound to have a few people of a different bent then the High Council.
