	If this Jolee Bindo is from the Knights of the Old Republic game, then wouldn't he be pre-Potentium? -----signature----- Knight1192 Seeker of knowledge Purveyor of history May we all be illuminated by that which we seek Check out the Star Wars theories on my website: http://www.angelfire.com/vi/knight_1192/index.html

	The Potentium is more of a was of thinking so there was no "pre" potentium just the same idea in different eras -----signature----- I thought it [Star Wars] was too wacky for the general public- George Lucas AFROTC

	What this thread has taught me is that I better pair up Bindo and Bastila next time I play KOTOR. I'm missing some good lines! Bindo's a blast. You never know what he'll have you grining at next. -----signature----- Rock-a-by baby, on the treetop, Beaming with pride, the filth they hold, But when the wind blows, my temper implodes, High above a pit, filled with sharkticons, Down will come hardcover addicts, beaming no more. ©

	recruit, I respectfully disagree. The philosophy or ideology behind The Potentium might not have "pre-" as it is, to use your words, "a way of thinking" about the Force. However, The Potentium as a "way", as a "doctrine", as something to "follow", was established by Padawans who gained supporters and were expelled from the Jedi Order "about a hundred years before the Battle of Naboo" (per TCUSWE). What those errant Jedi did was give a name, a lable to the ideology, the "way of thinking". So, there is a "pre-Potentium" approximate date, if viewed from this perspective. To say that Jolee Bindo was a "follower of the Potentium" is not quite accurate, IMO. Did he share their ideology? Perhaps. Did he prefigure The Potentium? Maybe. But I'm certain a lot of Jedi between Bindo's time and that of the founders of The Potentium thought about the Force in the same way or very similar ways. -----signature----- Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. ... and all that that implies...

	The "Potentium" was a specific group of people during the prequel era, that came up with the name "Potentium". However the Jedi later retroactively applied the name "Potentium" to cover a group of "herasies" that had been used by Potentium, and others throughout the ages, the "Potentium herasies".

	While there was a group called the Potentium in a later era, that does not mean the ideas were not thought of yet. If Jolee was around at the time when the Potentium Group was I believe that he would be part of it. -----signature----- I thought it [Star Wars] was too wacky for the general public- George Lucas AFROTC

	The same ideas existed before the Potentium, but they weren't called the "Potentium Herasies" until a group of padawans came up with the name "Potentium" in the Prequel Movie era. The name "Potentium Herasies" was retroactively applied to the all of the same kinds of beliefs used throughout the ages, even the ones before the padawans came up with the name "Potentium".

	Jabba, Jolee comes across as a 'human imperative' guy, rather than a Potentium guy. Me and my human imperative, eh? I can't let it die. Plus, Bindo = 4 2 Win

	I really can't see Jolee Bindo being himself from about 300 years after KotOR to the Galactic Civil War; he would have been found at birth (IIRC he wasn't) and indoctrinated into the Jedi way, becoming a "pawn of the Jedi Council", in Bastila's words. He only has the "crazy ideas" because he had a much stranger career than that of a "normal" Jedi. I want to see someone write an Infinities fanfic about a juxtaposition of 9-year old Anakin Skywalker and Jolee Bindo, if Jolee was the Chosen One and Anakin an old hermit. There are some superficial similarities: both pilots, both broke the order's wishes to marry, both mavericks, both met their wives because of piloting skills. Or, even funnier, write a story about Anakin getting captured by the CIS, and demanding to be freed. Of course, the commander dumps him down the power generator, and the ship explodes in the center of the fleet, taking out several other ships, including Dooku's with Sidious aboard. I would laugh for a long time if that happened. -----signature----- "I am Revan, greater than all of you clowns. Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. I am all things, and yet I am nothing.

	Jabba, Jolee comes across as a 'human imperative' guy, rather than a Potentium guy. Me and my human imperative, eh? I can't let it die. Well, makes sense. To be honest, I was thinking the same thing for a while, thinking that Bio-ware wouldnt include something like the potentium. But then I remembered canderous's story about him and his partner encountering a Vong Skip. If they'd take that from the NJO....

	Well the potentium-like beliefs also existed way before the NJO was published, there was an example in the TOTJ sourcebook.
