there's something about ..... star wars

No... this is not a review of the show that we (KLCA, JET, LCC, DY) caught last night.

I didn't want to condemn the show of the franchise I love so much. I have also accepted that Star Wars is never about acting or execution of storyline. It's about story-telling.

Who didn't know that Anakin will become Darth Vadar, or Padme will give birth to twins, or Obi Wan and Yoda will survive the revenge of the Sith. And that the twins will be known as Luke and Leia. (my wife didn't know)

This blog is about: Star Wars ..... do you know....?

• The Code of Jedi

There is no emotion
There is peace
There is no ignorance
There is knowledge
There is no passion
There is serenity
There is no death
There is the FORCE

• The Sith Code

Peace is a lie
There is only passion
Through Passion
I gain Strength
Through Strength
I gain Power
Through Power
I gain Victory
Through Victory
my chains are broken
The Force shall
set me free

• That Jedi cannot fall in love (make love also cannot, essentially a Jedi is like those Monks in Period movies)
• Boba Fett is Orphaned by Mace Windu (played by Samuel L Jackson)
• Anakin cannot become a Jedi Master because only when you have trained someone to become a Jedi Knight then you could become a Jedi Master.
• Luke Skywalker as infant was raised by Owen Lars, who is the stepson of Shmi Skywalker who is the mother of Anakin Skywalker.
• C-3PO had his memory erased to keep the identities of the twins secret.
• R2-D2's memory is intact. Which is why he was excited to see Obi-Wan in EP IV.
• You see Jar Jar Binks in EP III. Why? Because it was him who innocently proposed granting emergency powers to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, changing the face of the Republic.
• Bai Ling has a scene in EP III but was cut on the editing floor.
• The boy who was fighting the clone troopers outside the Jedi Temple is George Lucas' Son.
• George Lucas also make a few seconds cameo in EPIII at the Galaxies Opera where Anakin goes to meet Chancellor palpatine.

Things we learned only after watching EPIII:

• When women give birth, there is a viewing gallery where Jedi Masters will watch probably out of curiousity, since they cannot make love.. so this is the only chance for them to see women naked from bottom.
• That Jedi can withstand heat from Vocanic Lava and still won't die.
• That woman can just die because they loss the will to survive a-la taiwanese soap opera.
• That in the universe of Star Wars, people named their kids immediately just after the baby is borned without going through Geomancer like Somebody.
• The Floor to ceiling glass concept in modern Condominium in Singapore is taken from Star Wars.
• Obi-Wan Kenobi is a British.
• Why Darth Vadar is so much taller... since no leg already, might as well make it longer.
• The story in EPIII span over 9 months. Started with Padme saying she's pregnant. Ended with Padme giving birth. But of course, maybe the Force is Stronger... baby also grow faster.
• If George Lucas is to film I to III before IV to VI, then it will make Darth Vadar in Empire Strikes Back's "I AM YOUR FATHER" less dramatic.
• Now we know why EP VI is called Return of the Jedi.
