so which side of the force is it for you. are you pure of mind and heart or drawn into your own emotional hell? wanna be a Jedi or do you prefer your force a bit more bad ass. so whats it going to be?
sith of course for me.
-
Sith have a few things going for them. Cooler-looking costumes, more fun uses of the force (for example, picking up a person while choking them and flinging them into a wall.) And, of course, the long, brooding speeches.
-
Mace Windu should be on the list. I would pick him.
-
mace windu is a jedi so go for that
-
both sides :p we need both
-
Sith, they've got the right ideas about power and such.
-
Sith - pre or post Skywalker?
-
Sith. Cause I would love to zap my friends up the arse.
-
Sith. The Jedis teach restraint and that love and emotion is wrong.
For the record, I know the Siths are the "bad guys". But I still think the Empire, unrelated to the Sith, are the "good guys".
-
Wow, such a tough decision, I would have to say the Sith though.
-
I like to draw on my emotions, so Sith it is. Plus I'm to impatient to be a Jedi.
-
As a semi-star wars nerd, I would be a "Jedi Guardian". Pre-Skywalker era...like really pre. Back in the "Knights of the Old Republic" era.
However when Skywalker was around and such, I'd be on the Empires side. Their uniforms are pretty slick. And I like military discipline.
-
of course you do angel.
-
Also, red's my favourite colour, so I would be in it for the lightsabre alone ;D
-
Pity there's no option for the gray side of the force. If I could use the force though, I doubt I'd have the restraint to control my emotions and they'd get the best of me. I'll have to vote sith.
-
of course you do angel.
Of course I do what? Like military discipline?
-
I'd probably start out as a Jedi, but like Anakin, I'd probably get corrupted by the Dark Side. Besides, the lightning stuff is kewl. :P
-
I rather the grip
-
Hmmm...I think emotions are rather nice...and if you keep it bottled up, you're gonna end up like poor Ani! I think I'd be a Sith Jar-Jar. "Meesa gonna chokes you!"
-
Come ON, people, the good guys! You know! Besides, being emotionless is no fun at all. If I was a Sith, where would I get my hugs? And would I even want them? And my cookies would be... well more like mass-produced. Definitely the Jedi for me.
-
ummm Khab its the Jedi who suppress their emotions the Sith embrace theirs.
and the saying gos.....
join the darkside... we have cokies here.
-
Ale and whores for me, wenches!
*ahem* That aside, I would not be able to resist the temptation of force lightening. I'm sorry, but Samuel L. Jackson or no, the Jedi have nothing so cool as to challenge its awesome supremacy.
Also, the whole "don't get attached to anything, don't love anyone" yadda yadda would get on my nerves after about 4 seconds. I would love to be a hippie sith, all lovey-dovey and emotional. Is that allowed? :P
-
I would love to be a hippie sith, all lovey-dovey and emotional. Is that allowed? :P
Yes, but you have to make cookies for all the meetings ;D
-

Deal! Are double-fudge macadamia okay?
-
oooooooooo Hippie Sith! Count me in!

Is the Space Pope reptilian? ;D
-
dibs on Bounty Hunter.
-
Yeah, I can see Khab bringing cookies to the Sith Council.
*breathe* Oh, cookies. Delicious. *breathe*
-
Is it possible for a storm trooper to have the force? I know they're all mass produced, but is the force genetic or just random chance?
-

I think it's genetic. If it was random I doubt both Anikan/Vader and Luke would have been so powerful. So if it's genetic, I guess that would rule out a Storm Troopers possessing the powers of the force, as they're all clones of the same guy.
-
Stormtroopers aren't massed produced. Clone troopers are, but Stormtroopers are just regular people in armor. So I'm sure some have some kind of control over the force.
-

I thought the Storm Troopers and Clone Troopers were the same thing, hence the similarities in the armour, and the fact the Clone Troopers were an intricate part to Palpy's plan to kill off the Jedi.
-
Yes, but eventually it became cheaper to just hire normal people and dress them up like clones than to keep making them. At least I think that's the reason.
-
I've always liked the idea of balance, so I'd try to be neutral with the force. Using lightning to charge batteries and force healing people just so I could re-hack their arms off with my light saber (a black light light saber for me thank you kindly)... If I had to chose a side though.. I'll just go off my experience with KotOR... Sith all the way and then some. Yay evil!
:congrats: >:D :congrats:

True enough. We never saw an actual Storm Trooper without his helmet, so I guess it's up in the air.
All though I guess recruiting regular people into the army would be more practical, as it was indicated a Clone Trooper has a short lifespan (accelerated growth and all).

Darth Taco-the name's to good not to be a Sith ;D

The clone troopers were made because they were special trained commandos genetically engineered for combat.
The storm troopers couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with their blasters.
Clone troopers are not storm troopers.
Clearly the empire has suffered some attrition over the years, keeping in mind that it takes 10-15 years to produce new clone troopers the empire may well have had no choice but to recruit storm troopers.
Case dismissed.

While that's a very good point, and a likely scenario, it's not "case dismissed" until George Lucas himself says something about it one way or another ;D
-
So than the answer is yes...it is possible for storm troopers(not clone troopers...unless they're the same thing then this is a moot point) to possess the force...right?

The only things George Lucas knows these days is the bottom of a whiskey bottle and his bathroom floor

Oh come now, Revenge of the Sith wasn't that bad ;D
-
That was made during the hangover... I'm talking about Jar-Jar Binks
-
to be honest even clone troopers could have the force as long as the person cloned had the force. but the original clone troopers of the 501st did not have the force unless your in my dreams.
-
They could always infuse medclorian (sp?) into the storm troopers, I think they do this in one of the star wars games to mass produce sith fighters. They had weak force power but weak is better then none.
-

Very true. George must have been doing Jäger Bombs when he came up with that character.

True, but wouldn't that violate the Sith's "rule of two" (or something like that)? I thought it was an unwritten Sith rule that only two Sith would exist at any one time, a master and an apprentice.

If nothing else he was filled with contempt for the Jamaicans
-

You know, at first I dismissed that claim, but after looking back at the character's role in the series, I think you might have a point. After all, wasn't it Jar Jar who motioned that Palpy be given emergency powers?
-
Yes yes it was. I was referring more to the fact that he acts like a bumbling stoner who obviously has a Jamaican accents and his ears look pretty dread-like to me...
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4b/Jjportrait.jpg)
By far he is the most annoying character in the series. At least Ewok were cute as bumbly little comic relief character because they're small, but jar jar is full grown bumbly comic relief... and that's just wrong
Could you imagine a Jar Jar Binks saturday morning cartoon show?

Yep, so the character who's based off of Jamaican stereotypes is a) annoying and b) indirectly allowed the evil Galactic Empire to come into being. There are positive ways to incorporate ethnic stereotypes (Jazz from Transformers) and there are annoying/wrong ways.
-
At least it's getting a little better over time, look at the crows from Dumbo...
Still though, a Jar Jar Binks 80's style saturday morning cartoon show would just be downright weird. What would even be the premise of that show? Anyone?
Maybe everyone should write one episode of The Adventures of Jar Jar Binks
-
i think the writers would comit suicide.
-
Oh come on... Jar Jar could be a private eye....
-
ughhhhh....
though a tv show about boba fett could sell....
-
They already made that, they tweaked the character slightly and Knight Rider was the result.
-
lol yea but it wasn't Boba we need more Boba in our lives.
-
Sorry, we're fresh out of Boba, we do however have a fine selection of Jango Fett
-
well i'll take ..... what do you think hun 3/4 pund alright?..... alright i'll take a pound of the Jango, 3/4 pound of the Jaba and.... ummmmm 1/2 of the Vader.
-
Only half a pound of Vader? :o
-
Oh come on... Jar Jar could be a private eye....
No, the idea of a Jar Jar show is to good for Saturday morning cartoons....I'm think Home Improvement meets Jar Jar....GOLDEN!

Which NBC has decided to "remake."

Also, Sith.
And yes, the Empire pwns.
-
Boba Fett pwns.
-
Only until he meets up with Taco, then he gets "pwnd"
-
And only until he meets up with the hundreds of thousands of Storm Troopers and than he gets buried in white crotch plates. >:D
-
Taco + Force = Shattered crotch plates
-
looks like the sith like ale and whores.
-
I'd think the Jedi do too, but they can't admit to it because of the whole "avoiding worldly attachments" thing... So I figure ale and whore must be two of the best non-force power recruiting tools the sith have.
-
now imagine if the sith had a proper PR person? Nick Nailor for the Sith. Thank You For Using The Darkside.
-
Yeah, although they'd probably go with negative political attack ad style commercials. The Jedi operate a revolving door academy... The Jedi voted against the light saber control bill, putting light sabers into the hands of criminals... Four more years of Jedi means four more years of higher taxes and fewer jobs. On May 12th vote Sith. This message brought to you by friends of the Sith and approved by Darth Taco.
-
/me bows to Darth Taco
"so oh lord of the scary sparkyness, shall we place this ad into action?"
-
Sure, but keep in mind that statistics play a key role in getting elected. So if we blow up all the planets that don't approve of Sith government then we'll have a 100% approval rating.
-
hmmm that is true. what about the neautral planets sir?
-
Drop cookies on them to throw support our way
-
and how are we to get those very few cool Jedi to join our side?
-
Why Ale and Whores of course, have you forgotten what started this whole conversation? ;D
-
but it hasn't worked yet. should we increase our ale and whores?
-
When was it implied we should stop increasing them?
-
one of those incredibley brittish officers said something about it.
should he be killed?
-
*Darth Taco force chokes the offending British office*
Wait, if this is in a galaxy long ago and far far away how do we even know about Britain, it doesn't even exist yet...
-
we know because its a siths job to know. so is a force choke realy the best you can do?
-
Pfff... like I'm going to waste my coolest moves on an incompetent officer, the lack luster way of death is part of the punishment. Why should failure make the last thing you see really cool?
-
because its good advertising to anyone else who see's it. don't you want good advertising?
-
It's like giving away a car for buying a TV... If I did really fancy force kills to officers all the time then people would purposefully start f**king up in hopes of seeing more cool force kills. With the simple choke it's to the point and effective... want to see some cool force kills stormtroopers? Well you had better bring me some rebels... want me to go out of my way, single handedly capture a wookie for me.
That's how you get results you can take to the bank.
-
/me wrestles his wookie.
-
Don't be like Ralph and bend your wookie now...
-
*Walks in through the front door*
Darth taco, what do i do?
-
Your job is to go around installing safety railings.... it's supposed to be the death star, not the death trap.
-
i thought it was closer to the size of a moon..... you mean we upgraded to the size of a star./me starts altering his lists.
-
Cant i just put some barbed wire around? Its cheaper, and cost effective!
-
Niel!: Yes, but we're still keeping it small... it's the size of a brown dwarf star.
Bara: I said railings *Makes force choke motion as a warning*
-
ok ok... by the way, your wife called.
-
Tell her I'm with my mistress and I'll get her a call back when I have more time.
-
Okey dokey.
*puts up the railings and calls tacos wife*
Alright, he said he was with his Mistress, so me and you have some time..alone...
-
Great, now my wife is going to need years of therapy to get over that traumatic experience...
*Taco picks Bara up with the force, throws him against the wall a few times, lightnings his face a few times and then throws him clean over the railing down the ventilation shaft and into the cold vacuum of space*
-
*walks in through the front door*
Taco, i NEVER DIE!!!!
And i was going to give your wife a freaking pizza! i have a part time job as a pizza boy!
-
More correctly you never stay dead... It just means I get the fun of killing you over and over again *Taco force pushes Bara into a chipper shredder*
-
*walks in through the front door and shoots taco*
Now im the leader! Cahrge up the space station boys, we is going for a battle!
-
*face twitches, trying not to break out in hysterical laughter*
-
*shoots the new guy*
Any questions? good.
-
*Taco comes back as a black glowy*
Now I'm just more powerful... *Undead Darth Lord Taco rips out Bara's soul and traps it in a Gamron Crystal to power a urinal cleaning droid*
-
*turns around to face taco*
I'm....going....to....kill....you
-
I'm already Undead... a black glowy... I can't be killed...
-
*grabs a vacuum, and sucks Taco into it with the vacuum*
Now, your trapped.
-
*Taco force explodes out of the vacuum, brings the dusty bunnies inside to life and sets them to attack Bara*
-
*Grabs a flamethrower and sets them alight, then turns to Taco*
Dust bunnies? Is that the best you can do?!
-
*The flame thrower explodes on Bara's back*
No, but it did give me time enough to sabotage the flame thrower.
-
*pops his head through the door*
What flamethrower? I've been in here, making friggin cupcakes all day!
-
*dead on floor* Can I be a Black glowy now? please?
-
No
*Shoots the guy agian*
-
You can be my apprentice Shav... now then my pupil, show me how your best force kill on Bara.
-
*pours food dye into force stream, so it's visible.* *ties around bara using a series of very fast force pulls and pushes.* *takes cupcake and shoves it down bara's windpipe* :D it's a bara pig with an apple...ish cupcake.
-
*choughs out the cupcakes*
Jeez, i need to sue, or quit....
-
*Taco force pushes a lawyer and a letter of resignation down Bara's windpipe*
-
*Takes the stuff out of his windpipe*
WHY DOES EVERYTHING GO DOWN MY WINDPIPE!
OOC: How can a lawyer fit down my windpipe?
-
*the darkside has many capabilities.
Lord Taco please stop doing that with the lawyers they are expensive you know.
-
You know, how much do i get paid?
-
/me pulls out a massive book and looks up Bara.
"umm it says here you recieve a total of three credits a week. it says that you could recieve ten times that if you were to be quiet for..... ummm one hour. yep thats what it says. one hour a week."
-
jeez, i do that a lot when im not on!
-
The Dark Side allows produces more lawyers Niel, just like the light side always produces more chumps.
-
Really? and a second thing, how come im not a dark jedi?
-
because thats just plain wrong. we are the originators after all so they would be pussified sith not us as something else.
-
huh?
-
Really? and a second thing, how come im not a dark jedi?
Because the dark side has standards.
-
so now your being racist.
-
Bara, you're not a race.
-
no, but im a Geek. Your being racist agisnt them. Bastard.
-
I never said the dark side of the force finds geeks below their standards... I just explained why you're not a Sith.
-
and you ate too many of our lawyers. honestly the life insurance policies are getting so expensive now.
-
damn!
