I stalk the threads, whoever posts in them is a bonus.

Few more thoughts:

It's a good thing Star Wars weaspons cauterize the wounds they make, or these films would be a lot bloodier, and we also wouldn't have Darth Vader, since Anakin would have bled to death.

Leia owns Padme.  Come on, if Han had gone nutso and tried to kill her, would Leia just lay down and die?  Heck no.  She would have shot the bastard.

Finally, I also subscribe to the "Mace might not be dead" theory.

[Reply #406 on:]

-Mace is dead. Yoda felt his death (as seen by his near collapse) as soon as Mace fell down.
-Also, Han didn't choke his love to near death. I'm pretty sure that if oxygen is cut off to the brain, that person would be weak (and possibly go unconscious), especially if that person is pregnant.
-As for the weapons cauterizing wounds, I totally agree. Anybody think there was a screw-up in Episode IV, when Obi-Wan cut off that one guy's hand, and when the camera showed the severed limb, there was quite a bit of blood? (Alot, considering it was from a lightsaber.)

I'd have to go and watch again, but I only remember Yoda near collapse during Order 66.

Didn't that get edited in the dvds or something?

And while I'm thinking about it, I want to know how Lucas swung getting the robotic fifth Teletubbie to play the midwife droid.

[Reply #408 on:]

>^lol, that droid did look familiar. (And it was annoying.)
>Anyone notice that close-up of Mace Windu when he was fighting Palpatine? He looked weird as hell.
>Also, anyone notice that when Anakin was shown powering up his lightsaber to kill the "younglings", his lightsaber sounded a little different? (This may have just been me though.)

-Yoda was shown collapsing a few minutes after Mace died. He was also shown collapsing when the Jedi were being slaughtered.

"There is no medical reason. She has simply lost the will to live."

-So you're saying the only reason Padme died, was because she lost the will to live? I thought she lost the will to live after Anakin choked her, not before. You're probably right on this point, seeing as she was for a lack of better words'going away' from Anakin, and since she was still conscious when Anakin was choking her. So looking back, you are right.

Spoilers! Spoilers! Come on, I'm going to see it in a few ours.

[Reply #410 on:]

Why are you asking for spoilers, if you're going to see the movie soon. Wouldn't that destroy the suspense. Well, okay, Anakin becomes Vader. There that should satisfy your thirst for spoilers. 

[Reply #411 on:]

I'm not asking, otherwise I'd just read the latest VG Cats.

Seriously, I post on the SWG board too and it's bad enough there.

[Reply #412 on:]

I think Nurdy's talking about the blue spoiler boxes, to cover up the spoilers, non?

Show spoiler

Padmé lost her will to live because of the shock of Anakin's fall to the dark side. At least, I think that's the obvious explanation. Also, that force choke was a pretty efficient reminder that he actually was dag-nasty evil- it's just a fact (yeah, spot the reference). Although force choking might do some more thorough damage than the normal reversed lay-on-hands, I don't really think it does irreversible damage although young Vader was quite furious at that time. Lost love => lost will to live.

[Reply #413 on:]

I know, I was just exploiting the ambiguity of his post. It could mean both things.

[Reply #414 on:]

Of course... It could also mean that he's hijacking the thread and turning it into a The Fast & The Furious thread, perhaps. Spoilers! Spoilers! Side skirts! Side skirts! Wide body kits! Decals! Eek!

[Reply #415 on:]

Show spoiler

I think Padame had a desdemona-esque death scene, from Shakespeares Othello. CHOKED!  KILLED!  AWAKE!  BREATHING!  MAKING A COMPITENT AND PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT!  DEAD!

@Eyedol:

Show spoiler

If it does occur in that scene (I believe it doent come up until order 66) it could also be attributed to the fall of anakin (poerful Jedi) to the sith.

[Reply #416 on:]

Show spoiler

I seem to remember that he had a collapse when Anakin was given his new handy nick by Palpatine (*hint* It's "Darth Vader" ).

Well maybe you shouldn't be going to the Star Wars discussion thread if you don't want to read Star Wars discussion.

[Reply #420 on:]

if you haven't seen Star Wars yet, maybe you should just stop calling yourself a "nurd"

[Reply #421 on:]

How many times have you people seen Episode III? I've seen it three times already. (As much as I like Star Wars, I don't want to get sick of it.) I might see it again when my school year ends, but I'm not sure.

[Reply #422 on:]

I couldn't really say.  I've watched it the whole way through, and then since I work at a movie theater, I've seen various chunks of it.

[Reply #423 on:]

Twice for me, and that's it until it comes out on DVD or someone wants me to come see it with them.

[Reply #424 on:]

I hate you all. I hope you get AIDS. But without the force part of it.

She's always wearing pants.

"You came in THOSE pants? You're braver than I thought..."


*cough*

[Reply #428 on:]

Must admit I'm not the most hardcore of SW...mostly due to not seeing it at the right age or something...

I went to see Episode III with 7 other people and I was the only person who liked it. Most felt cheated by lack of story elements but I think it led nicely into IV territory. I do plan on seeing them all in one sitting sometime, as long as there's a mute function on the dvd...

Watched that part again tonight, and yes, exactly - a few minutes later.  Palpatine had time to recover, speechify, and name Vader before Yoda had any reaction shot.  The reaction shot came directly after The Naming, which infers that was what Yoda was sensing.  If the filmmakers wanted Yoda to be reacting to Mace's death, they should have shown it when Mace died.

Aqualish have different physiologies then most other races. Their blood has an extremly high boiling point and there veins are extremely robust, not even charring shut at the touch of a lightsaber.

Yoda was also feeling the deaths of thousands of other jedi knights. We have seen many other characters stand up to many salvos of sith lighting. I for one believe he left Mace Windu to fall and he may or may not have slowed himself down and survived. I did see a very entertaining fanfic about the latter option, but either way, I don't think it was the lighting that killed him.

Well, perhaps the fall did kill him, and falling from a high-rise on Coruscant... it'd take several minutes before he hit the bottom, yeah? 

But you're probably right.
I finally saw it just now BTW - good film, I liked it. Better than I expected. Played very nicely into Episode IV -

Show spoiler

except the Death Star being there. I think perhaps it could have been better if Palpatine lead Vader into a room where they were dwarfed by a huge hologram of the Death Star. But, meh, that's just me.

In which time he'd have plenty of time to recover enough to force push himself to safety, a la Episode 2.

[Reply #433 on:]

Yeah, but in Ep3 he had been a tad electrecuted - probably knocked his constitution down a bit...

[Reply #434 on:]

Plus he was missing a hand... might have broken his concentration a bit.

Not that I would rule out any possibility, Windu seemed badass enough to pull it off.

With all the traffic on coruscant it's not likely he hit the ground...

EDIT: Palpatine is looking at death star plans before Mace tried to arrest him, I saw it on my bootleg about a million times already.

[Reply #436 on:]

Maybe he comes back in episode VII?   

[Reply #437 on:]

No.

Windu is dead. Unless anyone wants to see if they can survive being shocked, having your hand lopped off and being thrown out the Empire States Building go ahead. I'll have your stuff in advance  .

Don't be silly Nurdypoos. It was taller than the Empire States Building. Now you're just being ridiculous.

Mace is basically chucked out a window after losing his hand, and by my star-wars count anybody who falls any sufficent ammount in the star wars universe always survives, unless they're falling into a sarlack pit or a death-star core, this is doubly true if said person has had a limb chopped off (severing at the torso non-withstanding).  I hope some novelist or comic booker, or someone somewhere puts together a collection of stories of Mace Windu in exile.

I think we all know how it would end, though.
