Yoda Preparing for the New Jedi Order

I think Yoda had two rationales for the choices in what and how to train Luke.

Can the Dark Side in Small Doses Help a Jedi?

treborcram — Aug 12, 2009 07:09 PM

As I was watching Return of the Jedi, and hearing Yoda talk to Luke about avoiding the mistakes of Vader and not letting the dark side dominate, I thought about how little doses of dark side seemed to help the Jedi defeat Sith.

Full Jedi in Original Trilogy

treborcram — May 10, 2009 04:15 PM

I was doing the lightsaber battle game within the Force Unleashed the other day against my brother. Afterwards, I again thought about how in ANH instead of old Ben, young Luke, and blaster-wielding Han, there were an elderly Jedi Master with two fully

Obi-Wan's Point of View

treborcram — May 03, 2009 04:33 AM

I often watch my favorite part from Revenge of the Sith---from when Padme's ship lands on Mustafar through Obi-Wan walking away from a burning Darth Vader. The most recent time I watched it, I found myself thinking about Obi-Wan's words as he watched

The Star Wars Item I Wish They Would Make

treborcram — Apr 25, 2009 04:53 AM

There is one Star Wars item (or series of items) that I wish would be made. It has always seemed obvious to me that it would be produced and every time a movie, game, TV show came out I was hoping this would be the time.

Execution of Order 66

treborcram — Apr 21, 2009 06:13 PM

One of the most emotional package of scenes in the six SW movies is when Order 66 is executed. The series of attacks on the Jedi who a moment before were comrades and leaders of the Clones, created in me a series of shudders and made me hold my breath as

Yoda and the Pillar on Geonosis

treborcram — Apr 11, 2009 07:55 AM

The last couple of times I've watched the light saber battle between Yoda and Dooku, I found myself wondering about the pillar Yoda catches. Dooku rips it off the wall and hurls it at Obi-Wan and Anakin lying on the ground.

Palpatine Lies and Manipulates Even Other Sith

treborcram — Apr 08, 2009 06:31 PM

After watching the scene between Palpatine and Anakin, after Mace WIndu's death, I it was reinforced to me how much Palpatine lied and manipulated just about everyone. Even a potential ally...

Yoda's Decisions about the Sith

treborcram — Mar 28, 2009 10:26 AM

Before Revenge of the Sith, I often pondered why Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi (the last two Jedi it seemed) didn't confront Palpatine and Vader in a two-on-two battle of Jedi vs. Sith.

Obi-Wan, Anakin and the High Ground

treborcram — Mar 22, 2009 04:24 AM

There was a lot of discussion and debate about Obi-Wan's statement to Anakin about the "high ground." Here are my thoughts about it...

Obi-Wan's travels

treborcram — Mar 15, 2009 03:29 PM

As far as I can tell (and I didn't watch the movies at any time with a notebook to count), Obi-Wan Kenobi visited the most planets/moons. Here is my count:

Death Star Duel vs. Mustafar Duel

treborcram — Mar 11, 2009 09:28 AM

Upon watching the light saber duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader on the Death Star, and later pondering it, I formed the opinion that that duel was as intense as their earlier duel on Mustafar. Just as intense, but on a completely different

Comparing Vader and Luke to Athletes

treborcram — Mar 02, 2009 07:52 AM

In my analysis, Luke vs Vader can be compared to father-son athletes going against each other.
