Being a Star Wars fanatic, do you refer to your bell end as your 'Pink Darth Vader's Helmet'?

Lex Luthor is a bell-end. Sort him out. Or let Wonder Woman do it. She already got Maxie Priest...

JDINTERACTIVE said:

Ummm, no.

Besides, what has Maxi Priest done to offend? He aint making music no more!

Ahh, good one! To me, they are obviously aspects of the same thing, just viewed from a different cultural perspective. Of course, the Jedi and the Bene Gesserit both have very different philosophies, so the use of this power is very different.

This mystical energy appears throughout myths and stories, as far back as recorded history. Oftentimes, it takes on different forms, but there are always commonalities. I don't think that it is, necessarily, God per se, but rather the life force of all living things (you could call it "the breath of God"). The Force in Star Wars seems to have a dual nature, but I believe that this is a reflection of its user, not itself. The "Dark Side" is only negatively "charged" if it is being used by someone with evil intentions. So, perhaps, this life force is simply what it is, primal and raw. It isn't evil, unless the person using it is evil.

Both Star Wars and Dune show their perspective takes on the mystical energy to be a tool used by the religious orders. In both cases though, there is a sense that they are the tip of the iceberg. In SW books, there is talk of "The Living Force" (which is the energy being manipulated by the Jedi and the Sith) and "The Greater Force" or "Universal Force" (which is a more powerful consciousness that seems to have a will that guides the Jedi. This is the closest approximation of God in SW lore). The Living Force stems from the Greater Force, but doesn't seem to have the will or conciousness of the more universal energy.

While I'm rusty on my Dune lore, I seem to remember the Bene Gesserit similarly manipulating "The Voice" to more corporeal matters, while still focusing on a greater force beyond. There seems to be a God or will beyond the aspect of the Voice that they use, from which the Voice seems to flow.

Good question regarding Rao, although I do know that the Kryptonian red sun was called Rao. More than likely, Whedon was just paying homage.



I prefer the straight, Frank Miller mini-series style blades:




I was quite happy when the film version basically used this design. In fact, I really love the way Wolvie's claws look in the X-Men films:




Oh, just what issue did Supes say "Oh my fucking Rao"? I must have missed that one!

First..careful now! Your attempt to inject God into pagan movies could bring down the wrath of certain Orgers down upon you!

Second; the miti-chlorians are the origin of the FORCE, are they not? Or is it the abundance of those micro-organisms that gives you control over the force? As for Dune, the Bene Gesserit "witches" have (over the millenia) mastered the use of nerves, muscles and the human mind, so they can project their will upon another through their specialized VOICE. The main purpose behind the Bene Gesserit is to manipulate human DNA (over thousands of years) so as to breed a "superhuman", the Kwisatz Haderach...who turned out to be Paul Atreides.

Third; you didn't answer my question! If a Jedi Master met a Bene Gesserit Revered Mother...who would win a battle of the will? Which one would be able to take control of the other one's will and force him/her to kneel, or jump off a cliff???

Hey. Does Charles Xavier have telekinesis or just telepathy?

TheSmyrk said:

Just telepathy.

JediMaster said:

That sucks. I thought he had both.

Superhuman mental powers: Professor X ordinarily possesses vast psionic powers, including telepathy; the ability to induce in others mental illusions, temporary mental or physical paralysis, and loss of specific memories or total amnesia; the projection of "mental bolts" to stun or render a person unconscious; astral projection; and the ability to sense other superhuman mutants within a small radius.

It's weird that he was team leader for so long and his powers don't even work through Magneto's bucket hat. All you would hafta do is glue it to his head and he's just a bald guy who didn't make the Murderball team.

Jedi, I know I ask too many questions, but this is too much fun, so here's another one. Daredevil. The guy's supersensitive. He can read printed words with his fingertips like braille. He could prolly count the tastebuds on Elektra's tongue with his wang. How is it that he can take a punch? You can't be hypersensitive and be tough at the same time. Loud noises fuck him up. Why not direct pain?

But I bet when his leg falls asleep, it still really sucks.

He could prolly count the tastebuds on Elektra's tongue with his wang.

Which DC Comics superhero is strong enough to carry Superman's baby? (NO KRYPTONITE CONDOMS) Would it be Wonder Woman? Is her uterus strong enough for something like that???

Where the HELL are Psylocke and Dazzler?? My X-Bitches.

DynamicSavior said:

Psylocke was, until recently, dead. Like all Marvel characters, she got better.



Dazzler will be returning in Chris Claremont's umteenth relaunch of Excalibur.



Dazzler also has a grungy, punk kid counterpart running around the Ultimate Universe.

Question:

I learned only recently that in one of the new Star Wars flicks the E.T. species makes some cameo appearence. So where's the connection coming from? any gossip about Spielberg & Lucas behind that? and since we can conclude that the Star wars universe is the same as ours (just another galaxy far far away...) in what time schedule does Star Wars take place to the present? 100 years ago? 1000? millions?
