Favorite Star Wars Character

[brad.dude03]

Yep. Jango was weird though. I'd have liked for him to live through Episode II, to die in Episode III, just like Boba, except not really because Boba survived.

But yeah, I didn't like just being introduced to a character and having him die on me all in the same movie. Except Maul, I can live with that.

 

[En_Fuego]

Yeah, but Jango only had 2 reasons to be in the movie.

One, show you where Boba comes from and how he became a Bounty Hunter. (Which is only important for the EU really).
Two, show you how badass the clones were and where they came from.

It wasn't really necessary for him to stick around. I think a lot of people made the connection that Jango Fett was Boba Fett's father.

 

[annoying]

Well hello! He asked for an unchanged clone, and he appeared as if he raised Boba as his son. Even though Boba has no mother; Jango was his father.

 

[En_Fuego]

The Kamino cloning techniques are similar to the Tlelaixu ghola-making techniques in Dune.

They take the women and turn them into giant tanks. Then they input the DNA and out-comes the clone...or ghola. So technically, he did have a mother. The only real difference was that the Kamino women didn't turn into the Honored Matres and lead a crusade around the universe...

Where do you think Lucas got a lot of his inspiration from?

 

[Arvedui]

In the Star Wars (holy crap I wrote Craft instead of wars..) Universe it's not like that.

There were no women involved in the cloning process. Which is why there's a debate in among Star Wars fans (like brad >.>) whether or not to call Boba Fett, Jango's son. Because for him to be a "father" then there needs to be a mother, but there isn't, Boba's only an unaltered clone.

Jango refers to him as his son, so most people do, but still there's debate.


And about Anakin coming back as a Force Ghost, I think saying he was so powerful he was able to come back is a B.S. excuse for a plot hole that they missed.

Can you prove this?

 

[annoying]

Prove that there were. We can go on with this forever, but let's instead just leave it, OK?

 

[En_Fuego]

George Lucas admitted taking many things from Dune:

Tatooine = Dune
The "Force" = Wierding Way
The "Jedi Mind Trick" = the "voice"
X-Wing = Ornithopter

I was just inferring that it was, it may not. I'm asking him if he can prove that though.

 

[Arvedui]

Can you prove this?

Yes, only Jango Fett's DNA was ever used in the cloning process. It's said several places.

There is no mention, anywhere in the canon, of any woman (or women) being present or used for the cloning.

Albeit the Kaminoans never reveal their cloning techniques, so sure there's a possibility, but it's not probable.

EDIT: The idea of cloning is not solely from Dune, but I agree that he could have taken it from there.

 

[En_Fuego]

Nono, you mistake the method.

They don't "mix DNA". They simply use them as a tank to grow the clone. It's not like they're actually making a child when they do it.

In Dune they did it and they could basically clone people, so obviously the method could be used in Star Wars.

 

[Arvedui]

They never explain it, so it's plausible. There's just no evidence to support or deny the claim :/

 

[VeljkoM]

I don't know if this count but in BF2 Empire stopped using clones cloned from Fett because of the Kamino "Clone Rebelion" so they started to use different chosen people for cloning.
The rebelion was made by Empire secret so people wouldn't ever find out that clones were against emperor.
Sorry for bad english.

 

[Rifle-Man]

WOW, we so ran over the theme. This thread is called: Favorite Star Wars character, not... man, so many other things. OK, most were for General Grievus and For Darth Vader. Grievus would have pwned Darth Vader if they would fight.

 

[VeljkoM]

Did you know that Grievous was actually killed by Trading Federation so he would be easier to control.Also Lord Dooku made Grievous to believe that jedies were responsible for his destruction.

Not a chance. Vader would crush his organs using the Force before Girevous could even pull out his lightsabers.

As for Boba being his son. Yes. He may be an exact replica, but Jango raises him as his son, and because of the appropriate age difference, that works.

Technically though, Boba is not his son. In order for him to be his son, he'd have to have the X and Y chromosomes of the mother and father. His DNa contains the X and Y chromosomes of Jango's parents. Thus, clone, not son.

 

[VeljkoM]

...Just shutup

It is his thread.So don't be rude.

Grievous is faster then any jedy.You rally think that other jedies didn't try to kill him with force?Grievous killed so many people that he was discovered by jedy after many years of killing.He doesn't leave witnesses.

 

[Arvedui]

He was killed by a Jedi who was superior to him in everyway.

I like Grevious, but don't overstate his powers. He was a pawn used by Palpatine, nothing more.

 

[VeljkoM]

It is not his fault.He was brainwashed.And he is coolest not strongest.Strongest is Joda.

 

[En_Fuego]

Yoda? Pfft, Darth Nihilius would've raped him. And Nihilius < Handmaiden (soloed) < Exile (soloed) < Revan.

Not sure about those EU guys, haven't read much into those books.

 

[seceretdude]

hey isnt thier a book on general grivous telling you his story before he became a robot for say i bielve that in the book it talks about him having th e ability to use the force untill he could no longer channel it through his metal body and it still be powerful enought to actualy hurt someone??

 

[Dr00d]

I read on the SW site he was like a tribe leader. Then he was crippled or something. I donno. I'm SURE brad can explain it for you.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, basically Grievous was a powerful alien, and he had some sort of crazy thing going on. The Trade Federation all but destroyed him, convinced him it was the Jedi, and then rebuilt him as a crazy robot to take out the Jedi. I don't know whether he was Force Sensitive or not, but the point is that he was unable to use the Force, and got owned by a fucking blaster in the long run, making him weak, foolish, and easily expendable.

 

[Gilles]

Is that book shelf of yours just Star Wars novels brad?

 

[brad.dude03]

Nope, I actually read mostly fantasy but I probably have at least like 30 Star Wars books, plus some comics. I want to get my hands on the West End reference guides...

That's a lot.

 

[Arvedui]

Considering how many Star Wars books there actually are, not really.

 

[brad.dude03]

Well maybe more then, because I've read nearly all of them. There are only a few, such as MedStar that I haven't actually read, besides that, you name it I've read it.

A few of the new ones have eluded me though. Death Star, Coruscant Nights, etc.

 

[VeljkoM]

Well I also read it on star wars site.He never could use force.Seperatists gave him jedy blood but it was failure.

 

[Hakeem]

I HATE READING THIS THREAD.

Yoda isn't the most powerful, but then he's past his prime now isn't he? As R2D2, nobody can actually beat Yoda. I just had a thought. R2D2 and Yoda are of similar size an uberness right?

Do you think...


Yoda pilots R2D2?

Thread for voting: Your personal favorite from all SW episodes. For me, two are fighting for first place: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul. Obi-Wan because he is the gratest Jedi in history and Maul, well, he has double lightsaber...

The greatest Jedi in Star Wars history was Revan; if you ever played Knights of the Old Republic, you'd have known that. His mastery over the Force was unrivaled, as was his swordsmanship, charisma, and even romance skills! You can check this stuff out at wikipedia. I believe there's an entire wiki dedicated to Star Wars... somewhere. Regardless, search up Revan on wikipedia, and you'll find out that he was the best.

By the way, all the movies fail before the awesomeness of Knights of the Old Republic. And who is my favorite character, might you ask? Revan. Revan is the most badass Jedi ever. Period.

 

[LordDz]

Admiral ACKBAR. ^^

 

[brad.dude03]

Revan wasn't the best. He was powerful, no doubt, but not unstoppable.

 

[terradont]

Admiral ACKBAR. ^^

IT'S A TRAP!

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Revan wasn't the best. He was powerful, no doubt, but not unstoppable.

I didn't say unstoppable- I said the best. And he was, infact, the best. The Jedi from the movies cut through hundreds of droids- Revan cut through nearly millions of Sith. He was, is, and will forever remain the strongest Jedi. Not even Anakin, the "Chosen One", would be able to match his skill.

 

[brad.dude03]

Palpatine actually could be more powerful. The powers to manipulate life and death themselves, that's huge. And he had them.

When it comes to Jedi, Luke Skywalker takes it in my books, as it has been described numerous times that he was the jedi Anakin was supposed to be, and was unmatched in every aspect.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

I still think Revan takes the cake for his badassery.

 

[VeljkoM]

Yoda can kick his but.We have seen old Yoda but think about young Yoda.
I saw him moving with force space ship (no not star fighter in movie).And he can stop lightning with his bare hands.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

In Episode II, Yoda absorbs the Lightning that comes out of Dooku's hands. Whup-dee-do.

 

[VeljkoM]

With bare hands and not with his lightsaber.
And I still want to see any other jedy or sith that can move entire space battleships in their 900 age.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Since when did he move an entire battleship? He levitated an X-Wing in Episode 5, and that's about it. The only reason Revan didn't do so was because KotOR is a roleplaying game, not an action game. There are limitations to the engine and such.

 

[VeljkoM]

There are more sources than games and movies.
Can't show you right now but it was in Clone Wars cartoon.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

The Clone Wars isn't canon.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Did anyone notice this thread has almost 300 replies xD

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Did anyone notice this thread has almost 300 replies xD

Yeah so? We like Star Wars.

 

[bounty hunter2]

I didn't say it as a bad thing

I like star wars aswel, but I just wanted to note how much replies did the thread get in so short a period of time xD

 

[brad.dude03]

Clone Wars cartoons is technically canon. The abduction of Palpatine, the introduction of Grievous, Asajj Ventress, all canon, all Clone Wars.

 

[En_Fuego]

I dunno man, Revan vs. Yoda? First of all, it's 2 entirely different jedi. One comes from an age where the jedi knowlege is more known and one comes from a more modern era of jedi where the original knowlege was hidden in holocrons and mostly destroyed.

I'd say Revan would win. He's not the "strongest" jedi, but he's definitely one of the most powerful. I think that he would defeat Yoda easily, just because he's so much more knowlegable. I mean, he figured out about the Star Forge and everything, even with it not "existing" to modern civilization.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Hells yeah. Told you Revan was ownage.

 

[annoying]

Revan is win. Darth Revan is epic. He would have conquered the whole smurfing galaxy if it weren't for that Malak dude. If he hadn't fired on Revans ship, Revan would have owned the Jedi to pieces, completely outmaneuvered the Republic and ruled the Sith Empire. Instead, he saved the Republic from the Sith, and completely destroyed Malak.
