Hm, I realized today that Ahab might also be a tie-in with the Jedi Shadow idea, also demonstrated in Planet With No Name. Covax, Spiff, care to comment?

As a 'Sith Hunter' Ahab would be a precursor to the Jedi Shadows, yea. I suppose it depends on the era. As far as I’ve been able to find, the phrase ‘Jedi Shadow’ is just an RPG term for someone who want to be pure-combat, no force powers Jedi. I discovered the term after we filmed the PwNN fight scenes and it matched the proto-story I had in my head when we filmed the story ‘bookends’. As far as I figure it:

- During the pre-Republic Jedi/Dark Lords (whatever the proto-Sith were called) war a race called the Palawans got their planet nuked. They vowed to ‘police’ Force users. They develop the art of Teräs Käsi and ‘shadow’ Jedi who may turn.
- I’d suppose after the war there would be quite a few rouge Dark Force users running around, so Jedi existing specifically as Hunters would not be uncommon.
- Eventually the big risk was Jedi themselves turning to the Dark Side, as well as other non-Jedi force using organizations popping up. The need switches for more covert skills, thus Jedi Shadows are created. Any relationship to the original Hunters is speculative, but a reasonable deduction.
- Whenever the Sith return and are defeated there would again be a need for Sith Hunters. It’s unlikely at this juncture that Sith Hunting would be openly authorized by the Jedi Council, rather I imagine the Republic just puts out fat bounties.
- What role Jedi Shadows have after this depends on your preference for conspiracy theories. I can’t see the Jedi as a whole being too comfortable with other Force using groups that it didn’t monitor and/or absorb. (Yea, those holocron scenes in Revelations made me smile.)

Heh, that sounds so professional.
"Metaphors of Darth Moby".




It makes me want to write an essay.

It is 16 minutes of me spouting bull... crud... on a ten minute film. Pretty much, ever bit of philosophy that wou could shove in there, straight from the book, our own stuff, and metaphors needed for the adaptation. Professor Aronoff's commentary even has a couple bits the we didn't even catch (half of the stuff that's in there is a happy accident, since none of us read it all the way through and we're seeing stuff pop up as it's being talked about in class during post-production).

Yay grin I guess people don't think it's worth the comment?

Come on, talk about the Micro Machines playset. You know you want to. (Or how about those tiki torches?)

Hm... I actaully hadn't realized that... That was one of Matt's funnier moments that wasn't a drawn out 20, 30 second ordeal, and the other was Matt... Lambert's... only on-screen blooper, since he was a last second add-in to the screen ("Hey, we need something happening in the background... Spiro [Matt L.], get over there and switch the input/output cables on the VCR.").

Edit: I want to say, it is not my intention to disregard the seriousness of suicide when I make light of it; contrarily, sometimes the only way to cope with something is to turn it into humor. I am close to two people who have told me, at least after the fact, that they have considered, to some extent or another, suicide. Fortunately, for one life is really turning around, and the other will be getting professional help.

Boy do I have plenty wink

Oh, was a cool film btw. I liked the acting and the camera work was pretty cool, minus a few breaks in the 180* rule.

Still, pretty cool job.

You liked the acting? I'll have to let Matt know...

*Watches the DVD bloopers, on which Matt features prominently.*
