So we can't really blame Luke for being crap.. he had no one decent to instruct him in the ways of fast and furious saber combat. Still, is there a reason he chose that name? And for that matter why Darth Maul choose the name Maul and the same question goes for Sidious and Tyrannus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russk Rijann Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 If im not mistaken a Sith Apprentice's name is chosen by his master. A self taught Dark Jedi or sith simply chooses one for himself. (if i'm not mistaken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Originally posted by Tiran Dev Pedro, that last comment brings up a question that i have,... Who trained Luke in the arts of lightsaber combat?? In any of the movies, is it actually shown that he trains with it other than with that remote drone that flies around and shoots bolts at him. I can only assume Skywalker is self-taught, or perhapse his training was just implied in the original trilogy??? Any comments? hmm.. you might be right there. Perhaps he wasn't trained at all, and if that's the case, we shouldn't be complaining at all about Luke's saber combat skills. I sure as hell wouldn't become that good on my own ^_^" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackhighmonkey Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I heard that Vader was chosen as said before because of the whole dutch father thing but also because it sounds a bit like inVADER. Maybe him not using lightning is to show he's not AS evil as the emperor? I've not read the books so i cant comment on any EU stuff, but then they aint canon anyway are they? On another note, does anyone know how they did the scene where yoda fights count dooku? did dooku just stand there and wave his saber about?

ondraedan Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Vader is a wuss. Have you ever noticed that he never does anything exciting when fighting? All he does is swing the lightsaber very unenthusiastically. I say they should remake the last three episodes so that Anakin goes to the dark side, but he doesn't become Vader, he becomes someone more threatening and powerful. Even Dooku seemed more of a threat than Vader. Anyway, thats my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackhighmonkey Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 The fight scenes may seem poor in the OT but thats because we're spoilt these days with matrix style bullet time etc, also remember when it was filmed, a lot of the errects in it are very far advanced for the time, you cant even see the strings on the millenium falcon lol, its the tackyness that makes it what it is.

eben15 Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 That room he lives in is called the Vader Egg. If he eats, that would mean he has to poop? Does he have a flap in the crotch area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Yittreas Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 1- He is more machine than a man, he hasn't got any liver, intestines and I'm sure he doesn't have a heart, he probably have some kind of oil as blood, so he doesn't need to eat. 2- Who cares? We have never seen anyone having a bath or peeing nor pooing in Star Wars, so 3- The lightning: I'm sure the energy is felt all over the dark jedi's body, so the lightning would probably **** up his ''breathing devices''.
