Windu Chi Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I want to get into a disscusion in the imagination for a moment. What opinions do anybody have on this topic if the Jedi really existed on Earth? I believe the Jedi roles will possibly be; detectives in world law inforcement soldiers in the world's goverments wars, negotiators in world conflicts or the similar roles like the ancient Japanese samurai warriors played in ancient Japan. Without the ritural suicides! Also of course there will be Sith included.
IG-64 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I say lumberjacks. Think about it, those sabers can cut down trees like nothing, and they can use the force to move them around. What? It makes sense.
MrWally Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Aye IG, it does. I would think either samurai like characters, or negotiators. Negotiaters with lightsabers. yeah, that's right.
swphreak Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I personally think they'd be hunted down like animals til they no longer existed. Simply because people would fear them, and government would kidnap them and experiment on them to create super soldiers.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I'd say diplomats. Though, if I could, I'd buy one. Then, they could get rid of the bullies at my school. XD
Lightsaberboy Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I personally think they'd be hunted down like animals til they no longer existed. Simply because people would fear them, and government would kidnap them and experiment on them to create super soldiers. Dang you said exactly what I was going to say. They'll be afraid of the Jedi's powers and want to be prepared for a counterattack, so they'll experiment with their own soldiers to try and get them the super powers the Jedi have. They've give their soldiers midichlorian injections to try and give them the abilities the Jedi have. Some will survive the process, others will die. then it'll be an all out wall between the Jedi and the government in the fight for survival. Hmmm..sounds just like "The 4400."!
Joetheeskimo Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I couldn't decide on one, so I voted for the last three. Although, honestly, they probably would become soldiers if the government got its way.
Tyrion Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I predict a booming porn industry. I cannot be the only one.
Jeff Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I'd say they could probably be used for all the things on the list but I'd probably like to only see them as diplomats/negotiators.
BongoBob Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I predict a booming porn industry. I cannot be the only one. OH GOD WHY!
RoxStar Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I personally think they'd be hunted down like animals til they no longer existed. Simply because people would fear them, and government would kidnap them and experiment on them to create super soldiers. I was going to be the cynical realist. Thanks for stealing my role XP
TK-8252 Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Peacekeeping forces. Screw the UN blue helmets. Bring in the Jedi Order.
Windu Chi Posted September 1, 2006 Author Posted September 1, 2006 Peacekeeping forces. Screw the UN blue helmets. Bring in the Jedi Order. Peacekeepers will be a perfect role for the Jedi Order to play, because the UN is useless at their peacekeeping job.
Alegis Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I don't see them as diplomats or negotiaters because people would fear them for their force powers (mind tricks) and rather feel attacked if someone sends one to them. You don't send mechwarriors with several assault rifles to negotiate something on a friendly level. They're excellent warriors, they'd get used like that.
Kurgan Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I agree. In our crazy power-mad world, they'd either be fugitives or they'd be dictators. On the other hand, they could become wealthly cheating the casinos of the world and the stock market (until they were found out) and winning Randi's million dollar challenge. Until the inevitable. The powerful leaders and groups would be desperate to find out how their powers worked (and if they could gain that power on their side or wipe it out to eliminate a possible threat).
Pho3nix Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I say "spiritual leaders" who would probably lead some sort of religious war against people who aren't force sensitive that think that a good blaster at your side is better than a lightsabre.
Sabretooth Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 I say they'll be diplomats and negotiators, maybe ambassadors. They've got Mind Trick and all, so they'll be about as valuable as a nuke. Think about it - both nukes and Jedi can bring about either absolute peace in this world, or well, war. Otherwise, they would have been a global organization of peacekeeping, both international and local. They would be something like supercops, IMO - who take on both terrorists and petty criminals. Something like a supercharged UN.
Tyrion Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 It depends. If Jedis were among us since the beginning of mankind, they would slowly gain power until they collected power amongst themselves with their greater fitness; the normal people could not fight their enhanced abilities, and would therefore be subjugated and enslaved. The degree to which would depend on the numerous factions that the Jedi would split into, as they would have as many different beliefs as we do. Some factions would be benevolent authoritarian, some would be horrible dicatorships, and everything in between. I couldn't see any with regular humans running the show, though. If Jedis suddenly appeared today, they would be largely killed out of fear and some more modern countries, like the United States, would use them as governmental weapons of diplomacy and war. Some would naturally exist outside the "welcoming" countries, but they would tame whatever abilities they had.
TiE23 Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 I think trouble makers. http://www.thatvideosite.com/view/3207.html
toms Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 They would be among us secretly and fight, because there can be only one.. I gotta say that in our world, if they just started appearing now then i think it would be like x-men.. with them feared and hiding. If they had been around for millenia then i'd see them as dictators, or at least some form of samurai style nobility while we all worked as their peons. I can't see it lasting as an organised religion, as its based on illogical rubbish and it has a horrendous track record of about 50% drop out to become sith. PS/ Based on the catholic church's success with the "no love, no marriage" rule i'd maybe vote for: pedophiles
Alegis Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 They've got Mind Trick and all Which only works on simpletons, footmen. Remember Watto in EP 1? Sending a Jedi would be a threat. That's not a good lvl to start a friendly conversation with.
