The official, purely speculative, non social, beard and food theory thread.

The ultimate beard thread. Wonderful, it keeps growing and growing.

 

Hey shoe, long time, no see. Stop by the social thread in Community if you have a chance. This thread's progress is more or less predicated upon released info - and the words from the master Wookiee himself - but over there, the sky's the limit. We need to build that thing back up.

 

the old times seem to be scattered throughout the galaxy right now. Need to have a reunion as more spoilers come out since pick up filming begins next week.

 

I agree Peds. But this thread is still a gem amongs all these barbarious threads. We should try to keep it up somehow. New spoilers are bound to happen. Too bad the thread with known lines from the scripts revealed little. Our quest continues.

Beards up chaps, latest select is a beaut! Obi-Wan's beard seems more and more powerful with each new pic released.

 

Drat! Foiled by a cursed double postie!

 

Did anyone see a news item about Ewan not having a beard for the re-shoots in England next week? Maybe they'll use a "glue on". or maybe it was short hair; would he need a rug?

 

I doubt this one was fully genuine actually. So a glue-on is definately possible. Not that we'd see the difference.

hmmm....long time since any post, so I thought I'd chime in with this little bit I just caught at TFn about food:

"Ealing: Ivy League
Fri, Apr 06, 01 05:18:29 PM EST

Jaguar comes back with the following tidbit from Ealing:
Word from Ealing Studios is that the food is so gross that cast and crew have been reduced to sending out for sandwiches and pizza! Possibly making up for a brown bag lunch, Anthony Daniels and Lynne Hale from Lucasfilm publicity were seen once again outside celebrity restaurant, The Ivy, last Saturday as they posed for photos with fans and signed autographs before they both headed on inside for some real food.
What? The crew's not being fed?"

Hmmm....I wonder what kind of implications this could have....always nice to see our theories spill over into real life though

 

They're all going to die.

Up! Beards must rule!

 

yes, beards must rule.

 

I'm a little worried fellow b****i and beard/food theory enthusiests....it seems this thread is nearly dead What has been happening in my absence? While there may not have been many beard or food related news items, there have at least been more than enough beautiful pictures of beards lately which can be linked to here. Not to mention a story about gatorade that was up on TFn not too long ago....come on now, I know the beards are stronger than ever in Episode 2. B****i K*****s and fellow beard/food theory supporters, do your parts! Show that the beard is strong! Let's get some more posts and discussion, or at the very least pictures going on here! I know there is a social thread over at community, but this thread must remain our flagship! Our official archive/collective of all things beard and food, Star Wars related. Socializing is nice, but think of this as the library, much like the one we shall see in Episode 2. A place where people can continue to rely on for all their beard and food related news, from a picture link of Obi or Dooku, to a new link on Clonetrooper mess halls, and a never-ending thriving and developing theory and ongoing debate. Be proud friends! May your beards grow long and thick, and may the beard be with you, always!

In an effort to stir things up a bit, I'll mention a recent mock up of the clonetroopers was posted on TFn http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/tfn.cgi?storyID=10148 which I'm sure we all saw. No evidence of hair, yet the mouth part doesn't seem to facilitate eating. Alright it's not much, but it's SOMETHING! Discuss this....discuss anything, please?

 

Don't go, Shoe, stay with us for discussion

 

Keo, here's a deal I will make with u. Though my time is limited, I promise I will stop by nightly and post at least once if I see a discussion in progress, but if no discussion is going on, then no Shoeless. That way, we're all responsible for keeping the beard alive or dead

Pizzathehut, thanks for your undying support, and for that I say....I'm a little pea, I love the skies ad the trees. I'm a teeny tiny little ant, but I can *muck* your *sith* up....(It's been a while since I've listened to that, so forgive me if I'm a little off, but just so ya know, the Chilies are my fave band in the world, though being a drummer, I worship Chad myself) Flea's always someone who's been one with the hair though, whatever that may add to the discussion, which is nothing since it's not star wars related, although he was in Back to the Future Part 2, directed by Robert Zemeckis, produced by Steven Speilberg, both good friends of Georgie boy and 2 who have very likely already caught a glimpse of Ep2 and the Beards within! hmmm....Star Wars Episode II: The Beards Within....I LIKE IT!

 

Shoeless, my friend. Thanks for dropping by. I have analysed the clone pic and there is no danger. No beard can be properly stuffed into that helmet. The theory stands uncontested.

good call queeq. The theory is safe as far as the clones are concerned, and I think it may go back to the facialy hairless Jango who is the template for them. Evil abound. Now I must say, in an effort to really get big things stirring, you guys have been slacking, BIG TIME! Maybe I have a bit as well, but I have an excuse. There has been a wealth of beard related news that nobody's been touching....well it's time. Our rebirth is here, and I want you guys (mainly queeq and keo) and even the newer theorists like Pizza, to round up the Beardi (protect me Nathan) and get some good theorizing here! I shall post some starter topics:

* Newly redesigned SW.com provides many new pics, including one of Cliegg Lars showing he's got quite the bearded ruggedness happening http://www.starwars.com/bio/jackthompson.html . It indicates a goodness in him never before speculated upon.

* It has been revealed a bit back that Dooku used to be a Jedi. This offers perfect explanation for his beardiness, and adds to his duplicitiveness, thus strengthening Beard Theory even further!

* Pics from Insider #53 reveal an Episode 2 Palpatine http://www.starwars.com/community/news/2001/03/news20010307_0.html . It is clear that his hair is thinning and he's cut down on the dye. Clear indcations of how the Baldi side ravages the body/hair and cuts through attempts to hide one's true nature. No matter how hard one tries to hide their Baldi side, eventually it reveals itself.

Now these are only 3 matters worth discussing, and believe me there's plenty more, so come on Beardis! Let's bring back our once illustrious glory!

 

Cliegg Lars is a good call, Shoe. Good call indeed. I just received my copy of SW Insider and I was amazed about the pics of Palpy with his receding hairline and hair thinning out. Obviously, aside from the rapid aging, hair loss is definately related to Sith evilness. I think we can start some more speculation of the Emperor in ROTJ: is he bald underneath that robe?

The Hair must grow.

So where's the rest of the beardi? So much to discuss, so little people

Anyway, very good question about the Emperor there. I would be willing to bet he was in fact bald under there. I mean let's think about it for a sec, in regards to baldness and the Sith. So far, there are 4 examples of Sith we know of. Palpy, Maul, Dooku, an Vader. We already know Palpy is thinning. Dooku's got a full head, but he's only turned to the darkside fairly recently. I'm willing to bet that by Episode 3, his hair will be significantly less. Maul is completely hairless, probably since he's been a sith from birth. And we know his species can grow hair, because he is a Zabrak like Jedi Master Eeth Koth, and he had hair. And finally, Vader, who we see is bald under that mask. Now many would say that he's hairless cause of his injuries, but I bet that even though he'd been injured, he still would've grown at least some hair if he remained good. I mean his head, though ugly and scarred, still wasn't all that damaged, and I'm sure some folicles would've survived if not for his dark tendencies, because sure enough, in his redeemed spirit form, he's got a full head of hair. So that establishes a pretty good standard for the theory, that the dark side ravages the body as known, including the hair, and is directly correspondant to baldness. Therefore Palpatine MUST be bald under that hood. Feel free to discuss this or anything else

 

An adendum to my previous post:

I believe therefore that one does not necessarily choose the baldi side when turning to the dark side, but rather baldiness is a direct result of going to the darkside. This is an interesting contrast to the light side, which I believe and we have seen, can exist independantly from the beardi side, though the 2 do, more often than not, go hand in hand

 

Great analysis, Shoe. And I agree. Baldness comes with the Dark Side, just like yellow eyes I guess. Although Anakin didn't have those, but perhaps that was because there was still good in him. Palpy had yellow eyes later in life, Maul had them (although we do not know if that's part of his particular breed of Zabrak)

The Dooku hair explanation sounds pretty good to me as well. He was a Jedi after all, and I wonder if he'll survive EpII. If he's to be the Tarking of EpII or even the PT, then he won't live long. I guess someone must die in the lightsabre fight on Kamino.
We know it's neither Anakin, nor OB1. But we'll have to see.

Here is a sort of relevant quote to add to this fine thread:

"Old men and comets have long been reverenced for the same reason, their long beards and pretence to foretell events."

Jonathan Swift(1667-1745)
Anglo-Irish writer

 

whoa, have we really hit 500? Not bad, not bad at all chaps! And they said we were just a joke thread that didn't talk about anything important....well we showed 'em! We showed 'em all! Our theories have become so solid, it's only a matter of time before they'll be concidered canon! Anyway, thanks to all those who've supported us, may the beard be with you all, always! And I'm STILL waiting for the old school beardis to show up and contribute....I KNOW me, keo and queeq aren't the only ones left....

Anyway, BobaFetish, that was a beautiful quote and a great addition to the archives. Just another example of beard theory extending beyond Star Wars.

Master queeq, thanks for agreeing with my analysis. As for Dooku, I think it's been confirmed that he'll survive into Ep3. I believe that fight's gonna find Obiand Anakin almost losing and injured till Yoda comes along and sends the Count packing. But he definitely survives into Ep3, probably cause he's got some beardi strength still in him. I think that's why Obi gets out pretty scratch free too. It's Anakin, the mostly hairless one, who gets hurt the most in the fight. Now seeing as how Yoda's supposed to save the day, I'm highly anticipating that first glimpse we get of Ep2 Yoda. While I know it's been discussed before, I still have to ask: Will the beard be with him? Though he's 10 years older, he was mighty bushy in Ep1, and we know he can grow stache whiskers, so hopefully we'll see some nice hairyness in him for this new Episode.

 

500 posts. Mazel Tov fellow Beardi.

There is something I have been wondering about. In the pictures we have seen the young Boba Fett with his long, flowing hair.
http://www.starwars.com/episode-ii/select/2001/02/select20010222.html
As we all know, he goes on to hate the Jedi becasue of the murder of his father. As is also seen, Jango has short hair under the helmet. Is this yet further proof that hair = good? Think about it. Boba has to cut his locks in order to don the image of his father. In other words, he needs to sever the good in order to embrace the bad. Anyone follow? It's a little out there I know but it makes sense if you can follow it.

 

Have been thinking more of Dexter's Place, and what he'll be serving at the food bar, perhaps Tatooine mushi of flaxen grains, greenery cabbages of Degobah, Geonosis sea cucumberettes and scallopinis, a variety of blue milk products like cheezo triads.
