"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...."
(REVISED as of May 7, 2008)

***ATTENTION***
I apparently was under some kind of mind control when I did "O" last week. I am now back to as close to normal as possible. I present you with my new official pick for "O".....Obi-Wan Kenobi!

I will admit that in the original trilogy, I was not very impressed with old Ben. We did not get to learn very much of his mysterious past. His coolest qualities were Jedi mind tricks and light saber usage.

Thanks to the prequels (you don't hear that very often), I have found a new admiration for this wise Jedi. You find he has great devotion to the ways of the Jedi life while not offending his former master, Qui-Gon Jinn. He has amazing light saber skills and athletic Jedi abilities. Obi-Wan never shows fear and is willing to take on any challenge. His greatest was training of the chosen one, Anakin, and eventually bringing him down.

Out of all the scenes in all of the saga, his scene where he expresses his feeling for Anakin on Mustafar are some of the most moving and touching. You can feel the deepness of his emotion and pain in his heart.

Sorry Oola, but when it comes to Obi-Wan, the Force will be with him....always.

(Original choice is below)




Oola is my "O" pick. I did not have many choices in the running anyway. Compared to grizzled Uncle Owen and battle droid leader OOM-9, it was an easy choice for me.

Another one of the great party goers (not necessarily by choice) from Jabba's Palace, Oola shows that extra appendages can add to the rhythmic and sensual movements of her dance. Unfortunately, her appearance in the film is somewhat short lived. GULP.

So we wrap up another week as we get closer to the end of the countdown. Next week will be "P - T". I have already decided over half of what I will pick. Hope you have a great weekend and MTFBWY!
