Unanswered Star Wars Questions (SPOILERS)

Because then he did not have the choice, he was under the guidance of his master, and being the little brat that he is i doubt Obi-wan let him out the house!

My question: why does Yoda still use his stick when we can all see that he is perfectly capable of moving freely?

 

Yoda prolly uses the stick mainly for appearences as well. If you came across a little green dude leaning on a stick, would mark him as a Jedi Master and a master swordsman?

 

I certainly would and so would anyone else who'd seen RotJ, Ep 1, or Ep 2. so there

 

i have a question

when Anakin finds his mother and shes dead , he goes and kills all those creatures that captured her mother ... he claims he killed all of them . But then how come (if im not mistaken) those creatures appeared in either episode 4 5 or 6 .. im sure of it

 

Soompta: When he says he killed all of them, he means that he killed all of the Tuskan Raiders who were in that camp. The ones in A New Hope are the same race as the ones Anakin killed, but a different tribe.

 

Yoda probably uses his cane because he needs too. His body is probably just that old. Even though he can use the force when he needs to, it's probably a strain that he doesn't *have* to deal with. Hence, he just uses the cane.

And Anakin has been 'training' for the past 10 years. Tatooine is out in the BFE region of whatever galaxy they are in. Extended vacation is what you have to mark off for when you head out to Tatooine.

What I want to know is, if Yoda is all that, why does Dooku squint at the tower and break it off the support, whereas Yoda has to grunt/strain/hyperventilate? Deflecting an object takes less power/Force than levitating an object. Are his reflexes/IQ in serious need of work?

 

Yoda probably uses his cane for the same reason Emperor Palpatine did, for appearances only. (Like Tal said)
Riddle me this: Why is it risky for Anakin to start studying to be a Jedi when he's 8 because he's "too old," and it's okay for Luke when he's like 20?

 

Well Yoda did say that Luke was too old (in Empire) but since that boy was their only hope...

(no, there is another )

As for Anakin - No I don't think the Jedi would allow him to go to rescue his own mother. Bunch of stuck-up twits (remind me of the paladins) that hold to their traditions and customs, living in their safe little cocoon, afraid of emotions. Well in the end it is the emotions that win the day.

I can't wait for episode three, some serious jedi-killing is expected eh?


PS An alternative explanation is that this makes for a better script and that we should be thankful for every little bit helps...

 

Supposedly, Anakin had no way of knowing what peril his mother was in and had no reason to worry for her until his premonitions began. Since the Jedi training is supposed to be accompanied by total lack of external stimuli, they wouldn't allow him to leave as he might regret the decision to become a Jedi. Even if they knew what was going to happen, they couldn't let him leave due to "The Prophecy". Which we have yet to hear or get an explanation for.

 

I thought it was kinda funny that Anakin wakes up and all of a sudden saves his mother in 5 minutes. In my opinion they tried to stuff too much plot into that story.
How come Obi Wan is so great but he can't even watch his own back by some huge insects but can watch his back while 80,000 robots attack him??

Anakin couldn't save his mother years ago because years ago, she didn't need saving. If I remember correctly she'd had been captured for only a couple of weeks.

 

i doubt that yoda uses his stick because of differential 'costs' to using the force for physical movements (deflecting/levitating). it's probably purely to make appearances deceiving, comedy value (it was funny) or both.

the concept of the force before ep1 was so much better than when lucas attempted to 'explain' what was previously a chi energy-like idea with crappy pseudo-science.

 

Sibling? You mean offspring (the spawn of Shmi )?

Anyway, how did he have a chance to liberate his mother? Buy her? Steal her? But as I said the Jedis would never allow him (inhibited twats)

 

What I wonder is how many of all the Jedis that were at Genesis. They said they should send all the jedis they could muster. There were about 100 jedis there give or take a few, most of them died. Was that a BIG chunk out of all existing jedis or are there still a couple of hundred left?

 

even though vader probably didn't know he'd spawned little jedi kids (by ep4), isn't it a bit of a risk to have allowed luke to keep the surname 'skywalker' and bring him up on vader's planet in the home of his half-brother? (luke lars would've been better...)

"and now young lars, you will die!" -frank

 

Joacqin: at the start of Episode 2, there are about 10,000 jedi in the galaxy. There are 200 jedi on Geonosis. I would imagine that those jedi are the jedi who were at that time on Couruscant, or within a short distance of Coruscant, and were able to get there quickly.

 

Crazy, man; just crazy!

So, the Guy in Black has to hunt down 9,900+ jedi in Episode 3 (figuring under a hundred got whacked in the arena)?

James Earl Jones might have to have vocal chord surgery after that many lines.

"Die, Jedi!"
"You are spittle beneath my boot, Jedi!"
"I will crush you, Jedi animal!"
"Your life ends here, Jedi!"
"Another Jedi bites the dust!"
"Feel the power of the Schwartz, Jedi scumm!"
