I'm more the Wookiee type.. sort of a Wookiee pirate.

If you ever succeed in bringing "Ewoks" into space and you do reach Saturn's moon Titan, you can "toss ewoks". Just ask Brian Cox, liquid farts for the win! Link:

Wait, Jude is a stereotypic caricature of a greedy Jew?

I was thinking junk shiller, but if you want to get all darkside about it... ;P

Since we're talking darkside...



Get it? 'Cause Jar Jar was a racist caricature  :))

Srsly tho, when Lucas wasn't reinforcing stereotypes in kids movies he was lamely recycling samurai lore, oldskool serials, anything really. There's no depth to the whole Sith/Jedi thing in the movies, there are only thousands of pages of peripheral "expanded universe" fiction which attempt to construct a Taj Mahal out of the turdpile that is comprised of Lucas's shallow moral dichotomies and halfassed attempts at political intrigue. I find the movies entertaining and Star Wars has led to some great videogames, but come on, there's nothing that profound there, OJ  :-\

Can't say I like Obi-Wan... at all. Yoda is a bit senile so maybe he is justified.

Star Wars fans have been justifying bad writing for decades now. It's a necessary step to preserve our childhoods  :'(

I personally really enjoy imaging the various ways Sith Lords apply the Force to fulfill their desires. Siths FTW!

I likes the original "Episode IV" and "Episode V"... MAJOR issues with all of those, but things really went down hill after that.

I think I was in 2nd or 3rd grade elementary when VI came out, and remember I was not alone in thinking the elite Empire military being crushed by the Teddy-woks was uber-lame (always FFW those scenes). While I liked the space battle, I still didn't get how a handful of rebel ships made any dent to a battle tested fleet of star destroyers and even downed the super star destroyer flagship. I mean the smallest of star destroyers should have had more armor, fire power, and effective TIE fighter support than 10 rebel flagships put together. And how the hell did the Imperial fleet relied on armorless wimpy-twin-cannon TIE fighters in the first place? An elite well equipped and manned TIE fighter from the galaxy ruling Empire should be able to down >>20 rebel fighters, ala Red-Baron, on its own. Then one has the most powerful and far reaching criminal organization headed by ... Jabba the worm facepalm

I did however like how an overconfident Palpatine got his ass thrown out of the Death Star garage *cough* throne room and into the reactor shaft for miscalculating Vader's feelings and power. In fact, I think Vader was one of few characters that gave ROTJ (and the other Eps) some relevancy.

Don't get me started on Ep I, II, and III. Those were new lows all across the board. I usually just FFW Ep I to see Darth Maul fight, and move on to watch or do something else... Now, it was not easy, but on Ep III Lucas actually managed to make a lightsaber duel totally FAIL!

Yeah, I imagine force choke comes in handy.

Steve Jobs - definitely Sith. Takes Sith to build iPhones and Death Stars.

Apple Maps looks like it was created by a council of Jedis.
