pantha-too-kay Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 Having recently developed an interest in Ninjas (see www.realultimatepower.net) and having always been in love with Jedis I need to know what other people think. Are Jedis the Dogs Danglies or does that accolade go to Ninjas?
Jedi_Monk Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 Uh... Jedi have the Force and lightsabers... so... Jedi...
pantha-too-kay Posted April 22, 2002 Author Posted April 22, 2002 Yeah, but Ninjas have totally sweet black outfits and kick ass on a regular basis without worrying about the dark side... Still can't decide
Jedi_Monk Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 Yeah, well Jedi can wear whatever they want to, and screw the Dark Side
shidobu Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 man, this is an unbearably tough call. Have to go with Jedi though. I mean LIGHTSABERS
SharaFett Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 i think it would be more logical to compare: samurai vs. jedi ninja vs. dark jedi note: ninja should not be compared to sith. NInja are ALMOST like ronins- they dont feed off anger or hate or anything like that. they have their own separate system of honor and tradition. And **** anyone who says they are without honor.
pantha-too-kay Posted April 24, 2002 Author Posted April 24, 2002 Hmmm, Jedis DO rock but: Jedis have only had 4 movies made about them whereas Ninjas have a ton but Jedi movies are super sweet and Ninja movies suck
Lnt. Kechtt Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 That site could use a music change IMO. Anyway..... (Real ultimate power? I won't go into what I think of that.) Jedi vs. Ninja? Jedi, hands down, no contest, kick-butt all, killer kings, dynamite with a laster beam, (sorry "Queen" sneaking in). Ninjas are cool. I love martial arts, although I can't do any, but when it comes to personal choice, Jedi. It's not even because I think that Jedi could whip Ninjas butts anyday of the week and twice monday through sunday. I just like Jedi.
pantha-too-kay Posted April 25, 2002 Author Posted April 25, 2002 I must admit that when I posted the poll I had my reservations. I was convinced that this was the wrong forum because pretty much everyone is going to have a Jedi bais. The more I think about, the more relevant it seems. As most SW fans know the story was inspired by the Kurosawa classic "Hidden Fortress" which contains a whole heap of martial arts. Shara makes a damn good point, the parallels between Jedi and Ninja are there if you know where to look. This is turning into a pretty cool thread even if I do say so myself
