Shadow Angel Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Barnes & Noble. My mom takes my baby brother and sister to play with those Thomas the Tank Engine train sets in the kids' section a lot, so that gives me a chance to frequent the Star Wars and comic book shelves. They have a lot of good literature. I'd suggest you check it out. Especially a short comic in Star Wars Tales: Volume 1, called "A Death Star Is Born." It's a very funny comic about how the Death Star was conceived. It involves Bevel Lemelisk of EU, which is totally wiped out by the Death Star cameo in AOTC, but what the hell? It's a laugh.

Darth Joka'ar Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 Oh I see, well I thought if I can find it online anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Angel Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 They have all their Star Wars books, hell, pretty much all their books, available online at http://www.bn.com. If you were referring to a free .pdf scan, you can try the KaZaa peer-to-peer program. (If you don't know what that is, http://www.kazaa.com) As far as Star Wars goes, you'll find mostly literature for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game (think SW meets Dungeons & Dragons.) But I won't delve into that any longer 'cause I don't want to be banned or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pogwaffle Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Speaking of types of saber combat forms, does anybody know what form yoda specialises in or does he just go freelance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teutonicknight Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Dooku would win. Look at what we saw in EP 2: Windu: Kills a bunch of droids, and jango fett Dooku: Defeats Anakin, Obi Wan, and duels Yoda and wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what we saw in EP 2: Windu: Kills a bunch of droids, and jango fett Dooku: Defeats Anakin, Obi Wan, and duels Yoda and wins. Man... what fight did you see taking place? You must've been in Star Wars Alternate dimension or something... Dooku got his arse handed to him. He pimped Dooku like he owed him a weeks worth of trickin'. As far as Dooku vs. Mace... Mace all the way. Mace's Sabering skills are only rivaled by Yoda. Dooku was once a jedi, so he would have been included in that equation, and since the only one that comes close to Mace is Yoda- in what is known of the Jedi's and Sith (esclude Sidious, because no one had fought him) -Mace is the man. Nothing else needs to be said in this matter... thread closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Jai-Obaj Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 windu kicks ass. but tyranus would win. he sivered anakans arm. diced up obi wan. (without sivering any limbs) and held off yoda for a long time. it would be a wicked fight but tyranus would win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Angel Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Well, if you judge Mace's ability to fight by what actor he plays, I suppose if he were played by, say, Jimmy Smits (who's also in the film as Bail Organa) people wouldn't be so fast to vote for him. And Christopher Lee (Tyranus) has had some good roles in the past, too. He's starred as Dracula. He was Scaramanga, the Man with the Golden Gun, in the film of the same name. He played as Saruman the White in Lord of the Rings, and will continue that role in The Two Towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stantz Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I dont think it really matters since Dooku and Windu will both be defeated by Anakin. Besides Windu would win. If Anakin can hurt Dooku during the Lightsaber duel (another deleted scene) then Windu could own him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_Walker Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I vote for Shaft, opps wrong film. I mean I vote for Windu. I think it would be a tough duel but Mace would come out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_Walker Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I just got a strangly funny image if Arnold Schwarzenegger played Mace Windu and if Silvester Stallone played Darth Tyrranus. Then I got a funny image of them saying their lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedantic Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Originally posted by Shadow Angel However, you can find out MUCH more about lightsabers and saber combat from a technical viewpoint here. http://www.synicon.com.au/sw/ls/sabres.htm The only problem with that site is that it hasn't been updated in a long time, and covers nothing about AOTC. Heh, more like a Japanese sword-fighting perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JrKASperov Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Darth Tyranus would win I think, simply because he fought Obi-Wan and didnt break a sweat.... Darth Vader and Obi-Wan to me was an easy break for Obi, it's just that Obi didn't want to fight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Knight Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 windu is like one of my favorite jedi and i would want him to win but i do think he would lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Joka'ar Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 Actaully it was kinda same theory. If Dooku is Master of Form II which he claim to be, he will have a chance of roughly +-75% over Windu. Well if u are having a spegeti mee(spelling), which one is more confortable to serve?Spoon or Fork?U still can serve it with spoon but izzit fork is rather more suitable?

Darth Joka'ar Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 Hey, I got some info about Lightsaber Form from other forum. Form I: No info, but they assume that this is a basic, form used by all jedi covered in EWP: Lightsabre) Form II: Count Dooku uses this. It si a very ancient form that uses long elegant moves and deftness of hand. From III: Is what Obi-Wan uses. Type 3 was invent to counter blaster weapons and focuses on high speed deflection of projectiles by the lightsaber. It is also the form that most Jedi use as it is the symbol of non-agressive fighting. From IV: Anakin learned this. This form uses powerful long blows to beat down opponents defences. Form V: The Dual-Lighsaber training, with a defensive focus. Form VI: Assuming this is Yoda's style, one which emphasizes fighting a larger opponent by using the force to give the Jedi exceptional maneuverability... Form VII: Mace Windu knows this. To master form 7 one must master the previous 6 forms. This focuses so much on attack and has similaritites to sith combat forms that the form is almost considered Taboo. The situation is becomming more and more critical. If those are true, I really need to reconsider all my post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
