	I'm not sure "adamant" would be accurate- we only know that Lucas seemingly was involved in the decision to have Vos survive O66 in the comics. Gry Sarth posted: So, my point is, the Jedi-heaviness of the prequels has skewed the general perception of what Star Wars IS. Star Wars is smugglers, bounty hunters, blaster fights, exotic locales, weird aliens and monsters, space battles, fighter pilots... and Jedi. So I have no problem whatsoever if the LAS has no Jedi, I sorely miss the underbelly of the Star Wars universe, with mercs, smugglers, bounty hunters and other scum. This pretty much sums up my view of things (coincidently enough, a similar topic came up in lit recently). I prefer my SW to have a balance of the elements of SW, but I don't have an issue with the LAS going Jedi-free as it helps counterbalance the heavy Jedi focus of the PT and TCW. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Count me among those that would like to see a few rare occasions were jedi are seen(Like Arrawn_Fenn and several others Quinlan vos would be awesome)but for the main characters to be non-jedi. -----signature----- "He who saves the life of one man saves the world entire"-the Talmud Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter

	To the initial question... it's not about what us, the hardcore obsessive fans, think... it's about the general public. What, to the general public, is the essence of Star Wars? Which further begs the question, if LFL is approaching the live action series with the same deal they did TCW... would a network pick it up if there are no Jedi or lightsabers to be seen? If the network doesn't think it'll take off with their viewership but LFL has at least one full season in the bag already and is working on the next with plans for at least 3 more, that'll be a deal breaker. -----signature----- http://blogs.starwars.com/slaveoftheforce

	Gry Sarth posted: I agree. Up until the prequels were released, lightsabers, Jedi and the Force were just one aspect amongst a myriad of aspects that defined Star Wars. I really don't think Star Wars needs Jedi to be Star Wars. Just look at the video games released, pre-prequel era: Dark Forces, Rebel Assault, the whole X-Wing/TIE Fighter series, Rebellion, etc; hardly a glimpse of a lightsaber anywhere in sight in any of these. But if you look at post-prequel era games, it seems Jedi became mandatory, even where they wouldn't really work like Galaxies and Battlefront. So, my point is, the Jedi-heaviness of the prequels has skewed the general perception of what Star Wars IS. Star Wars is smugglers, bounty hunters, blaster fights, exotic locales, weird aliens and monsters, space battles, fighter pilots... and Jedi. So I have no problem whatsoever if the LAS has no Jedi, I sorely miss the underbelly of the Star Wars universe, with mercs, smugglers, bounty hunters and other scum. That said, I think a Jedi-free LAS would benefit by a very sparse, very well-planned use of Jedi appearances. If they take Jedi away from people for a while, then maybe when a fugitive Jedi does show up and sacrifices himself in an epic lightsaber duel, it will actually be awesome and special and epic, like it used to be, and not just the 3rd or 4th lightsaber clash of the month... support for 100% -----signature----- blessed by yourattorneysearch.com

	I think we should be told that one of the characters is a jedi in hiding. But they shouldn't say which one. That way over the course of the series we will see different characters do things that will make us think that "they" are the one. Eventually this character will reveal themselves to be a jedi. Doing this would build alot of suspense into the series from the beginning. -----signature----- It's Great To Be A Tennessee Vol National Champions : 1951 1998 SEC Champions : 1997 1998 1st In The SEC : 1938 1939 1940 1946 1951 1956 1967 1969 1985 1989 1990

	No Jedi is a good thing, it will help expand the universe and allow for exploration of other types of characters, scenarios and themes. Personally, I'd love to see more space ships and pilot protagonists. -----signature----- They're in the right places for just the right amount of time because [George] has a gift for knowing how long to leave a shot on the screen before you start seeing the seams.
