Originally posted by evan: It's only the movies, David. Some would claim that she appears in Return of the Jedi, disguised as one of Jabba's dancing girls. (Yes, I know that it wasn't intended to be her when the movie was made, but it was never intended for Greedo to shoot first either.) When/if they ever make SW 7, Mara Jade will be added. I doubt it. Considering how much Lucas screwed up the existing continuity with the prequels, if he ever makes any movies that take place after Return of the Jedi he'll probably just ignore all of the expanded universe stuff, despite having previously made a big deal about how everything in the comic books, novels, and role-playing games was considered official canon.

Example, 3PO was made 200 years ago and with R2 has had many adventures, but thanks to Lucas and episode 1 he's just a plot device to show Young Anakin's Skillz.
I voted Vader by the way, can't go wrong with black and red. He looks awesome in the comic books and manga as well.
Runners up: Non-Whiny Farmboy Padawan Luke. Qui-Gon. Old Obi-Wan. Mace Winduu.

Kyle Katan is the best jedi ever, he's pretty much neutral

Kyle sucks, he keeps dipping in between and sometimes loses his powers all together.
David A: Have you heard of Exar Kun? or Naomi Sunrider? there's load of Jedi but only 10 slots.

It was a toss up between Vader and adult Obi-Wan, in the end I went for Obi-Wan as Sir Alec Guiness was a great actor.

Am I the only one who thinks Qui-Gon is cool? He had some pretty good quotes. If only he hadn't taken Jar-Jar with him he would be loved by all.

A quick good/bad factfile on each Jedi and Sith.
Name: Qui-Gon-Jin. Good: Knows what he is doing, has a beard and a cool attitude as well as good taste in choosing Padawan. Good influence for Obi-Wan. Good with a Sabre, which has a green blade. Bad: Saved Jar-Jar from death several times and brung him with him for the rest of the film. Got killed by a Sith who was wasted easily by his less experienced Student.
Name: Young Obi-Wan. Good: Greenhorn, utters 'the line'. His attitude towards Jar-Jar gives us a warm feeling inside when we watch him hate him. Bad: Nothing much really.
Name: Adult Obi-Wan. Good: Absorbed Qui-Gon's teachings, has his future facial hair. Bad: Accepting Anakin as his Padawan. Did not learn everything from his master then.
Name: Young Anakin. Good: None, seriously he sucks in all areas but combat. Bad: Genocidal tendancies, making us sick acting horny around Padme and doesn't visit Mummy much.
Name: Darth Maul. Good: One of the first Sith, good taste in tattoo's, clothes and he gave us the first double lightsabre. Bad: Feels like a tackey Vader, got his ass kicked very quickly by a Padawan after wasting a master.
Name: Count Dooku. Good: A certain sense of evil, follows Sith traditions. He also gave us the chance to see how good a Jedi Yoda was. Bad: Has a bad choice in hiring underlings and soldiers and is really just another Darth's bitch.
Name: Mace Winduu. Good: A taste of common sense when objecting Anakin to be trained as well as having awesome Sabre skills. Bad: Horrible quotes, Gay Parade Lightsabre blade and the feeling of being a generic black guy added to the thing to hush down the oversensitive. Could have been a brilliant character if thought out better.
Name: Younger Yoda. Good: Kicked Dooku's ass, head of the Jedi Council and awesome taste in Sabre blade. Bad: Didn't do anything to stop Anakin when it was obvious he was going to the Dark Side, bad pronounciation that can get into your head.
Name: Luke Skywalker. Good: Average looking, X-Wing Pilot and a nice taste of clothing in later movies. Bad: Being a Whiner for the first movie, losing his dad's Sabre and his creepy early movie relationship with Leia. And calling the Falcon junk.
Name: Darth Vader. Good: Awesome voice actor, great taste in clothing. Has a red light sabre and eliminates anything that gets in his way. Bad: Being another Bitch, this time to the Emperor. No will for survival. Bad taste in minions.

Was only killed shamefully due to Lucas' shortcomings as an editor 3. Has his own damn choral theme song.

Originally posted by evan: Here's something I've been confused about: how do we know that Anakin falls into lava before he becomes Vader? It seems to be common knowledge to SW fans, but I've never seen it explictedly stated as such. While N-O-R is probably right, the idea that Anakin gets knocked into lava has been around since at least the Return of the Jedi novelisation. I'm actually a little surprised that Lucas is keeping to this idea, given his love of retoractively changing his earlier ideas. Like the one where Uncle Owen was Obi-Wan's brother, also found in the ROTJ novel but later banished from continuity by Attack of the Clones. Also, shame on you, Nurdbot. Dissing Kyle Katarn. *uses console to spawn in 1000 Katarns, who slice Nurdy to ribbons.*

Originally posted by David A: I know, and if you had left out all of the lame ones from the prequels you'd have had room for more of the good ones. That was my point. I don't think EVERYONE here has read all the books. If I did that this thread would have curled up and die. Pitt: I'll give maul a point for Dual Of The Fates, since it's awesome humming while playing all sorts of games online or actually listening to it. EDIT: *Shoots all the lame ass Kyle's with his Carbine since they have to grind forever to actually just get force sensitive*

Count Dooku was alright, he even used an ancient Villan escape technique.
