I won!

I think that rule made the Jedi at least partially responsible for their own downfall. They felt that Anakin's compassion for his mother left him too emotionally compromised to be a proper Jedi. But in the end, it was Anakin's compassion for his son that saved the universe.

Had they embraced the challenges of bringing Anakin into the Order at his age, had they even gotten his mother and put her somewhere safe so he didn't spend ten years worried about her, had they dealt with him falling for Padme, instead of treating him like some sort of inferior disease, Anakin might not have grown into the angry young man he did. And it wouldn't have played right into Palpatine's advantage the way it did.

I think the discovery of midichlorians made the Jedi Order compliant, and I think their emotional detachments made them lose their understanding of the true nature of the Force.

I always found the detachment rule at odds with the Jedi compassion, I never understood how having love in their lives would make them any weaker than compassion did, if such bonds were to be viewed as a weakness.

Yoda was reluctant to bring Anakin in as it was as he was understandably suspicous of the prophecy, and Mace had an issue with him from the start which again seemed anti-Jedi. I'm guessing they couldn't free Shimi directly but surely they could have bought her from Watto and placed in safety on Naboo working for Padme. I mean Obi Wan could have set that up outside of the council given that Padme was not beholding to the Jedi code.

I've had a question gnawing at me for a time. Why has Lucasfilm always kept the issue on Yoda's species concealed or been so secretive? I researched it a bit on WookiePedia & it's rather inconclusive.

I honestly like that Yoda has no other in his species, making him unique.

Famed fight choreographer, fencing champion, and stuntman Bob Anderson passed away on monday. He was 89.

Nice piece.

There is one going for $75.

I turned it down because of the $90+ shipping.

 

[Hunter Rider]

$75 on E Bay?

Actually, Yaddle is canon.

I like the mystery surrounding that "tridactyl species" -as it is referred to by all SW encyclopedia-

If I remember well, it's one of four things George Lucas has expressedly forbidden the EU writers to ever write about in their stories, the other three being Luke's, Leia's and Han's deaths.

Although I think those three will eventually be adressed in the future, now that Luke's been portrayed as a Force Ghost in the Legacy comic books.

She's not in my cannon!

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Yoda species mystery is fine and all but when you ( Lucas ) come up with something as bad as the "medichlorian" to explain the greatest mystery of all, The Force, you don't have room to talk about "keeping stuff unknown".

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Actually, Yaddle is canon.

I read ( quickly ) about her/him on wikiepdia but I never noticed she/he was in the PT !

Yoda is the highest bounty !

No, duh. He's the Grand Master of the Jedi Order!

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

No, duh. He's the Grand Master of the Jedi Order!

Oh sorry, I thought he was a minor character
It was more a fact than an expression of my surprise.

I also read in WookiePedia that Jedi Master Even Piell who is a member of the Lannik species is related distantly to the Yoda species.

[OptimusPrime114]

Since we're talking about Yoda's species, let talk about another notable member:

Vandar Tokare, one of Revan's masters.

This picture stirs up memories of Hoth.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Nice X-Men homage!

 

[OptimusPrime114]

Nice X-Men homage!

That's what I was thinking of!

I always thought that Yoda was from a species known as the Whills?

No. It was said that the Whills are not the same species as Yoda.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

One more day until the rumors are possibly cleared up!

 

[Yodaman]

What rumors?

 

[OptimusPrime114]

What rumors?

About BF3, of course.

Cool t:. I do wonder though, did Shaak Ti officially survive Order 66 or not? both of her deaths ended up in the deleted scenes in ROTS...
