FF:NZ FF New Zealand - Command Centre

Welcome @Hurricanejedi, I hope that you'll enjoy your time on the boards.

I am from NSW, on the other side of that stretch of water separating NZ from Australia... but there are a few others around here are closer to where you are.

As for Han shooting first... it changes with each edition of the film. The Blu-ray edition gets it pretty close though.

Hey mate, I'm in South Australia, like him, across the pond!

Han did shoot first, my daughter has a t shirt that says so!!

Make sure you explore more than just Oceania, there are some great forums and threads here where geeking out is totally encouraged!!

Now @Corellian_Outrider is going to want to read that lot, he LOVES the Clone Wars, me I can take it or leave it. My son on the other hand, LOVES them too! Shame that the plug was pulled.

It's too sad that it had to end, I wonder what is happening with this "bonus content" and how much of it we will be getting. What they had shown is something connected to Master Sifo Dyas and another as a precursor to Order 66.

Maul is definitely a loose end.

For fear of spoiling anything for anyone that hasn't see the Season 5 finale, I'll put this in a spoiler tag

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Ahsoka on the other hand... her fate at the end of Season 5 is appropriate and while it was heartrending to watch, she does take her destiny into her own hands and lives on. Something Anakin should have done and followed her on this... he wants to do the same but does not. This does connect to ROTS because by her leaving, it has placed doubt in his mind, the thought that he failed her... it means that she will always be on his mind and knowing she is out there as a constant reminder of that 'failure'. More potent than having her die and he moving on.

The Council is not open about admitting to their mistakes, if you watch closely at that final Council scene in S5 finale, you can see when Windu opened his mouth, he had put his foot in it and ruined the moment and made Ahsoka decide to leave. Because Anakin's Padawan was not elevated to the level of Knight, the council view that as a 'failure' on his part and also plays into why they would allow him onto the Council but not give him the status of Master in ROTS.

Final thoughts: I knew the moment had to come, I'm glad they handled it in the way they did as there would be serious repercussions if they had her die. Ahsoka lives!

I just type spoiler in the square brackets [ ]

like this [ spoiler ] [/ spoiler ]

just without the spaces inside. It's pretty handy.

Thank you, I think Ahsoka is a brilliant addition to the saga and she adds so much to fabric that makes up Anakin and several of the other characters. I will miss the TCW. First Stargate, now this.

Who was your favourite character from the series?

ears prick up when the word archery is mentioned.

Did someone say Archery?

McGregor did well in the prequels. I also love James Arnold Taylor's work as Kenobi (and several other characters) in TCW... to switch between the nuances of Ewan and Alec Guinness so smoothly and remaining true to the character of Kenobi... The whole cast is talented, Matt Lanter made the perfect Anakin in my opinion. Another great character was Hondo Ohnaka.


Yep, there was mentioning of archery, Addie

Arh, then you and I have alot in common! I shoot archery, long bow. Target shooting only, but love it.

My son shoots compound, bare bow. But he wants to try long bow now....I went to the local Medieval Fair last weekend and shot there in full costume...and LOVED IT! It was such fun shooting at foam animals, and they even had a moving foam goat that was able to hit three times! So if needed, I could feed my family

I have done some archery in the past and love it but it has been too long since I last held a bow and I miss it.

What I can bring is the ability to conjure up "MacGyverisms"... to work a solution with what we have when things go awry. Always handy to think outside the box and talking Star Wars by the fire also boosts morale and spirits... something important to keep up when the 'blight' is happening

And he can draw......man can he draw....
