    The expectation that the ST be based on nostalgia for the OT befuddles me. The saga is a single narrative told in multiple parts in posterity forever. You wouldn’t want the third act of a play to exist primarily to reminisce about the second act.

    Rey is a good character and rivals Ahsoka in the early seasons of clone wars. She's the female jedi, females look torwards in the future. She's their Luke Skywalker, Anakin and Obi Wan.

    I did enjoy that each movie of the sequels was one of the Big Three's swan song. They put the past to rest in doing so. The problem arises in that they did so at the expense of fully developing the new heroes.

    Agree. It would have been what Blues Brothers 2000 was to the original Blues Brothers.

    First off, Ahsoka isn't a Jedi. She left the order. I believe Rey will start a new Jedi Order, but I think it'll be akin to the ancient Je'daii Order which was made up of both light and dark side users. Luke was more than capable of starting a new Jedi Order. It shouldn't have waited 30+ years for Rey to come along. And if Luke doesn't start the new Jedi Order, more than likely we don't see Ben fall and Rey rise to counter. So Rey wouldn't be in a position to even start a new Jedi Order.

    You can say Luke is the catalyst of Rey becoming a jedi and restarting the new new jedi order with new ideals.

    TCW should have had some focus on Mace and Anakin's antagonistic relationship.

    I agree, Mace and Anakin have a strained relationship. I think he fears Skywalker’s power.

    I imagine the Mace/Anakin relationship parallels the Luke/Ben Solo one - the fear that the pupil may have a tendency to go towards the dark side.

    And yet Mace uses Vaapad Lightsaber form which requires a use and knowledge of the dark side.

    My point is Mace is not one to judge Anakin for using dark side power.

    But I wasn't talking about "using dark side power", just talking about going full-blown Sith (or dark side user) - about turning completely to the dark side.
    In the CW era everyone is either a Jedi or a Sith and the movies, IIRC, never specify what "using dark side power" would be, right? Aside from Luke giving a little into his anger in ROTJ but ultimately pulling back.

    Anakij in TCW and AOTC film uses the dark side to get results, “ends justify the means,” without going Sith. Mace is essentially doung the same with his Vaapad lightsaber form.,

    I don't dispute that, for sure. But it doesn't have anything to do with what I was saying, does it? :p

    I don’t think we had a dispute, just a convo on the matter. I suspect Windu coukd be secretly taijted by the dark side nad coukd have become another Exar-Kun. His desire to kill Palpatine, “he’s too dangerious to be left alive,” makes me wonder if he was pulling a Rule of Two move and he was threatened by Anakin because he senses the dark side in him.

    Yes, exactly. Saying I don't dispute it is the same as saying that I agree with that. ;)

    I have no opinion on the subject matter, but as for the form of the statement, "All X" does not imply "No Y". In context, however, it does seem to imply "Not all Y" or "Not necessarily all Y"

    The statement in question was still generalizing X though. That was my point.

    I think he meant this comment in a positive way...? Speaking with Fredrik the other day (hope I'm not off here) I think English might be his second language [face_peace]

    Beautiful country! [face_peace] Yeah, wasn't meant as a slight - was just pointing out that I thought your Rey comment was meant in a positive way.

    Oh, gotcha! But is that necessarily a bad thing, considering archetypes are basically generalizations in the first place?
