Dear SS. I have read that GL made up the Jedi religion, but I think he based it on Buddhism. If you look at it from that point of view, the Jedi are like Buddhist Monks. Thanks. (SuperShadow: The premise of the Jedi Order is a blending of several Western and Eastern religions. The Jedi are more similar to the Knights Templar, who were warrior monks, instead of the peaceful and non violent Buddhists.)

Hey Supes, quick question. (SuperShadow: I'm the greatest person of all time. That's the one thing we all agree on.) I read online that Darth Maul survives The Phantom Menace and tracks down Obi-Wan and finally finds Obi-Wan a couple of years later like two years after Revenge of the Sith. Is this true? (SuperShadow: Lucas has stated that fan based theories about Star Wars are ALWAYS wrong. This fan speculation is never correct even when guessing at random.)

It says Maul has robotic legs, but Obi-Wan fights Maul in a light saber duel. Thanks a billion. (SuperShadow: This type of Star Wars fan fiction will remain a fantasy and not real until the end of recorded Human history. Did I remember to mention I am by far the most spectacular being ever?)

SuperShadow, I have something to tell you. Did you ever once notice how much Coruscant keeps the Star Wars galaxy together? (SuperShadow: Please explain this theory.) All the Star Wars books I've read on Star Wars always mention a leader meeting at Coruscant and the importance of Coruscant, etc. Well, this is **** ***** and let me give you another update on my trilogy. (SuperShadow: Wake me up inside.

I would expect the U.S. Government regrets starting the war with the machine immortals. An inferior military, which can't tolerate attrition and material losses, should win quickly or NEVER start the fight to begin with. You don't have to be a military genius to figure this out from the constant failures throughout history.)

The new main villain gets access to a super weapon like the death star and wants to make sure that the galaxy can never have peace again, like he says in this movie: "War is the only peace this galaxy will ever get!" To insure a never ending war, this villain has decided to destroy Coruscant. Wow, right? (SuperShadow: This is a joke.)

Please reply, I'm still waiting for a reply on the other messages I've sent you. (SuperShadow: Your wait will be eternal.) Please watch out for my messages because when I get finished, I'm going to send a preview of my trilogy to you. (SuperShadow: Thank the Heavens, I get to be me.)

Shadow, I think you should have rogue Jedi on a remote world living in peace and protecting the natives so they can have a home. Ben Skywalker and Anakin Solo with a New Republic star cruiser fall and it held 1600 troopers and 40 Jedi. The Dark Jedi shoot them down in a space battle, but they win. They crash land and only 700 troopers survive as well as 15 Jedi.

They wander until the rogue Jedi greet them and help them out. They seem very friendly, but Anakin has some suspicions. Ben thinks there is nothing to worry about. The Dark Jedi really control this world as well as the Mandalorians, who out number the rogue Jedi seven to one. They have no choice. Anakin sees a rogue Jedi talking to a minor Dark Jedi and the Mandalorian leaders.

Anakin then says out loud but softly he says: "I have to warn the others." Just then a Mandalorian is right behind Anakin and knocks him out and then looks down on Anakin. I will submit more to you, SS. I can think all of this through. Please post. Thanks. (SuperShadow: Absolutely rejected thus far. If you could write Star Wars stories as well as you envy and covet me, then you would transcend even Lucas. You will disappoint me.)

My Lord Shadow. (SuperShadow: Do not limit my all powerfulness.) Had Jango Fett survived Star Wars Episode 2 and was in Star Wars Episode 3 on Mustafar protecting the Separatists and Boba Fett was with Jango and then Anakin Skywalker Vader arrived, what would become of them? (SuperShadow: Anakin eradicates them especially Jango and Boba.)

Then if Anakin never Force choked Padme and fought Obi-Wan while Padme was not Force choked and conscious, what would happen then had Padme survived child birth? Out comes with Obi-Wan winning. (SuperShadow: If Padme survives and goes into hiding, then Darth Vader would spend the rest of his life searching the galaxy for Padme.)

And the out comes with Anakin Vader winning. (SuperShadow: If Obi-Wan is killed and Padme can't hide from Vader, then the Skywalker twins would have been raised to be Sith Lords. The Empire and Sith Order might have lasted for countless thousands of generations.)

Why couldn't Lucas just wait until the 1990's to create the Star Wars movies? (SuperShadow: Why are you trapped being you with no hope of escape? You may be the most unlucky person of all time in history.) There was obviously better technology in the 1990's than compared to the 1970's and 1980's. (SuperShadow: Laughing at you is what the world does. You must be frustrated about life beyond imagining. I continue to laugh.)

And Lucas could have made Star Wars Episodes 1 - 3 and Star Wars Episodes 4 - 6 like a normal director would. I still can't believe he did Star Wars Episode 4 - 6 than Star Wars Episodes 1 - 3. Outrageous. (SuperShadow: Enjoy being ignored by the masses. More laughing. Endless hysterics.)

Hi SS, how's it goin? (SuperShadow: It is such a blessing being me. The primary benefit of being the Supreme Creator's fave.) I have read many times about you saying that no one could kill Anakin Skywalker before the Jedi prophecy was for fulfilled, but in Revenge of the Sith when Obi-Wan cuts Anakin, what was stopping Obi-Wan from going down and chopping Anakin's head off?

Please post! P.S. You are the best! (SuperShadow: This is difficult for commoners to comprehend, but the will of the Force guided Obi-Wan to leave Anakin for dead. Obi-Wan was convinced that Darth Vader could NOT survive his catastrophic injuries. This is the tragic fate of underestimating the powers of the dark side of the Force.)

Just saw the preview for the three part story of Ryloth from the Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show. It looks amazing. A Neimodian officer, a tactical droid, flak gun droids, Wat Tambor and Mace Windu are all involved in a big battle as will Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Obi-Wan, Rex and Cody.

Twilek senator Orn Free Taa learns of his home world's invasion and his people enslaved. (SuperShadow: Extraterrestrial invasions are awesome.) I hope Tambor doesn't get captured by the Old Republic. Waxer and Boyl are the two clone troopers that help the lost Twilek girl. Perhaps some Twileks will fight for their freedom. (SuperShadow: We shall see.)

Can a Rodar Wizard defeat Anakin Skywalker before he completes the Jedi prophecy of the chosen one, who will bring balance to the Force by destroying the Sith Order? The will of the Force has to protect Anakin from a Rodar Wizard, right? (SuperShadow: An immortal like angels and demons can kill any mortal, but they don't for reasons we can't understand.

The Rodar Wizards are machine eternals, who don't interfere in the affairs of the galaxy. Technically, the Rodar Wizards are capable of any action, but it's not going to happen because the gods, whether they are supernatural or technological, watch and observe only.)

Hi SS. How many Jedi survived Order 66? (SuperShadow: At the beginning of The Phantom Menace, there were approximately ten thousand Jedi dispersed around the galaxy. We can't know how many survived Revenge of the Sith. It could be hundreds or just a few dozen or less.) Even if you can't give me an exact number, is it most of them, a minority of them or hardly any? (SuperShadow: Order 66 killed nearly all of the Jedi, which survived the Clone Wars.)

Hey SuperShadow. You are like an idol to me. (SuperShadow: Kinda expected.) You know everything about Star Wars, right? (SuperShadow: I am much beyond this simplistic notion.) So can you please tell me is Darth Vader my father? Thanks and may the Force be with you. (SuperShadow: It doesn't matter whether or not you are related by blood to Anakin Skywalker.

Just remember to keep the dream alive no matter how awful your life really is. The economic depression we are currently experiencing has only reduced the financial net worth of the citizens of the United States by 14 trillion dollars. This is nothing to worry about.)

Hey Shadow, I got another idea, but I don't know if it's good enough. If it is, maybe you can forward it to Mr. Lucas if you want to. (SuperShadow: Perhaps.) Like my previous post, I wrote the galaxy celebrated during Return of the Jedi not because they were free, but because of the news of Darth Vader and Darth Sidious now dead.

Yet many planets remained under Imperial control. Star Wars Episode 7 starts. Like in Star Wars Episode 3, the movie starts in space (Battle for Coruscant or an important planet). Imperial troops are being overwhelmed by the Rebels. Many Rebel star ships pass through the blockade and immediately land on the planet. Upon landing, many Rebels die instantly due to a trap set by some of the Imperial troops (sort of like in the beginning of the respected movie, Saving Private Ryan). (SuperShadow: A movie directed by Steven Spielberg.)

While this happens, Luke Skywalker makes his way into the Jedi Temple. Immediately upon entering the Jedi Temple, Luke senses a disturbance in the Force. Luke was looking into the past, when Anakin Skywalker slaughtered the Jedi children and a few others.

There is an important reason why Luke sensed this, but this will be sort of revealed in the middle of Star Wars Episode 8. This is only the beginning of Star Wars Episode 7. I would like to have more into this idea, but I don't know if it's good enough to be passed by you, SuperShadow. (SuperShadow: Bravo to ya. Great, great concepts. Nothing is worthy of me, but those are the accepted facts.)

In the Star Wars Clone Wars comics and novels, Separatists scientists such as Jenna Zan Arbor would invent a chemical virus on their droids like super battle droids and octuptarra droids to wipe out Jedi and their clone troops and planet populations. Now it happens in a two part story of the Clone Wars TV series followed by the three part story of the Confederacy of Independent Systems invading the Twilek home world called Ryloth ending season 1. Season 2 features the Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane. More great stuff to come. (SuperShadow: Wow. Need I comment further?)

Once again the brave but foolish Padme and Jar Jar Binks walk into trouble when investigating a Separatist virus called Blue Shadow. Hope they brought some clones with them in case there are a lot of battle droids guarding the bio facility. Hope there's room for See Threepio and Artoo Detoo in this one.

Anakin Skywalker has to save Padme again in this two part story with Obi-Wan and Ahsoka Tano. The next episode reveals that Padme, Jar Jar, Ahsoka and some clone troopers fall victim to this virus and Anakin and Obi-Wan have 48 hours to cure them all. Hope they have a 2-1B medical droid and an antidote. (SuperShadow: Unbelievable to behold.)

How many viewers of the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV series does the Cartoon Network get weekly? (SuperShadow: Each new episode of the Clone Wars TV show averages about two million viewers.)

If the Clone Wars TV series turns out to be successful, will Lucas make more than 100 - 200 episodes? (SuperShadow: Yeah, Lucas has told me that the new Clone Wars TV show will endure for as long as the Cartoon Network wants to air additional episodes. This could be limited to two seasons or ten seasons plus. We can't see the future so we don't know how many episodes the Clone Wars TV series will have in the end.)

Why not have someone else direct Star Wars 7? (SuperShadow: Lucas will NOT direct Star Wars Episode 7. This infuriates and disappoints the fandom, but Lucas is permanently retired from directing movies.) It should not be a problem. Lucas only directed four of the se7en Star Wars movies. All Lucas has to do is write it and produce it. There's no reason to wait to 2021. (SuperShadow: As is readily apparent to you with certainty, your wishes NEVER become reality. Your opinions don't matter. The theatrical release date of Star Wars Episode 7 is May of 2021. This is not gonna change.)

You said previously on the overly ingenious SS.com: "(Sidious wouldn't have allowed Padme in Vader's life regardless of the situation.)"

If this is true, then Sidious never intended to teach Vader how to save Padme, no? (SuperShadow: Deception is a crucial story element of the Star Wars plot formula. Sidious deceived Anakin Skywalker during the Star Wars prequel trilogy similar to how Obi-Wan constantly deceived Luke Skywalker during the Star Wars classic trilogy.)

SS, why did Mr. Lucas choose Anakin Skywalker to be the one who goes to the dark side of the Force? (SuperShadow: Destiny, I guess.) Why couldn't it be someone else? (SuperShadow: It can't be explained. Lucas makes up the plot script ideas for Star Wars as he goes along, which means we have no way of knowing what will happen.)

And if Anakin never had turned to the dark side, would Anakin have been released of his Jedi duties to take care of Padme and their family? (SuperShadow: Even if Anakin had remained a Jedi and refused to join the Sith Order, Darth Sidious would have still launched Order 66 during Revenge of the Sith to destroy the Jedi. There would be no organized Jedi left to worry about Anakin's relationship with Padme.)

Anyways back to my first question. If someone else had turned to the dark side, would Star Wars Episodes 1 - 6 be totally different? (SuperShadow: Yes, of course. The Star Wars prequels and classics are the revelation of Anakin's rise, fall and redemption. Without Anakin, we can't realize exactly how the overall story would be altered.)

Thursday, February 12, 2009

Shadow, you said Anakin Skywalker is the chosen one and Luke Skywalker could never be defeated because Luke is the most powerful Jedi of all time. So if Luke had turned to the dark side of the Force and became a Sith Lord, which Anakin is destined to destroy, who would win in that fight with Anakin as a full fledged Jedi Master with full time Jedi training?

Or Luke as a full fledged Sith Lord with over 10 years of Sith training, but before that Luke had 20 years of Jedi training? (SuperShadow: Luke Skywalker is invincible only as a Jedi Master. If Luke had fallen to the dark side while Anakin was a Jedi, then Anakin would have convinced Luke to leave the Sith Order, which would parallel the results of Return of the Jedi.)

Hey S.S., I hope you enjoy the destruction of America as I will! (SuperShadow: Soothsayers, who predict the final doomsday, are wrong 100 percent of the time. However, we should study history to learn that all previous world empires are eventually annihilated one way or another. Greece, Rome, Carthage, Persia and the Mongols are no longer the planet's leading super power. Eventually, the United States will collapse like the previous hegemonic empires, but this probably won't happen for another 100 years.)

Previously posted at the monumentally brilliant SS.com: "George Lucas: There may be additional Indiana Jones films one day. I'm very much interested in a Mutt Williams stand alone film. That could happen before Indiana Jones 5."

Lord Shadow, George's prophecy is a double-edged sword. (SuperShadow: Lucas can predict the future because he actually controls the future. No laughing allowed.) Does the world actually need more movies with Shia LaBeouf? (SuperShadow: Surely, you don't covet Shia as much as you envy SS.com. We should embrace the success of others.)

I think DreamWorks is going to make a whole series about "Transformers" and until Michael Bay figures out how to make a Transformer transform into a duplicate of Megan Fox, I'm not going to watch them. (SuperShadow: They will keep producing new Transformers movies until it no longer is massively profitable as a franchise. The first Transformers motion picture has sold over 30 million DVD copies worldwide. That equates to over $ 250 million U.S. dollars in net profits. Not even Star Wars matches this level of money making.)

Lord Shadow, before "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" opened, it was at the top of the "Most Anticipated Movie of the Year" lists. (SuperShadow: It surpassed the expectations of most fans, which explains why Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the highest box office grossing Indy Jones movie in history even after you adjust the cinematic box office numbers of the classic Indiana Jones trilogy for ticket price inflation.)

It's the anticipation BEFORE a movie opens that determines the first weekend grosses. (SuperShadow: Agreed.) A proper accounting of profits from "The Empire Strikes Back" should include the first-day gross of "Return of the Jedi." (SuperShadow: Back in 1983 when Return of the Jedi debuted in multiplexes, Hollywood films had low opening day grosses when compared to modern movies.

Return of the Jedi made about $ 7 million U.S. dollars on its opening day of release. Adjusted for inflation this is roughly $ 17 million U.S. dollars in 2009 figures. Compare this to The Dark Knight, which earned about $ 67 million U.S. dollars on its initial first day of theatrical release.)

Lord Shadow, in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," someone claimed that an army carrying the Ark at the front of an attack would be invincible. (SuperShadow: If true, then why were the Israelites conquered and enslaved while they possessed the Ark of the Covenant? We have to accept the fact that the Ark was dismantled thousands of years ago and it doesn't exist anymore.

There is absolutely no evidence of any kind proving that the Ark had awesome supernatural powers. If the Ark was truly powered by Heaven, then the Israelites would have had the most powerful civilization on Earth. Never happened because the Israelites spent most of their time as slaves during the time of the Holy Bible.)

I know you don't appreciate how important this was. The fans were upset because of how long it was going to take to resolve the cliffhanger. (SuperShadow: Referring to the mesmerizing and ingenious twist shock ending of The Empire Strikes Back.) Two years is a long time to wait for a movie experience. Today, you can simply go to Amazon and order Return of the Jedi. (SuperShadow: Making the fans suffer needlessly is what Lucas does best.)

The fans didn't have that option. But the sequel to "A New Hope" could have been really bad. Instead, it was a step up on the emotional scale. (SuperShadow: Not accurate. A New Hope has no equal. It will always be the most spectacular and most excessively profitable episode of the Star Wars classic trilogy because it was written and directed by Lucas all alone with no third party sabotage from screen writer Lawrence Kasdan, director Irvin Kershner and the late Richard Marquand.)

We had a credible romance between Han and Leia, which was then torn apart when Han said "I know" instead of "I love you, too." Indiana Jones needs this kind of credibility. Something on-screen that ranks at the top of the list of "most clever in movie history." (SuperShadow: Not gonna materialize. The Empire Strikes Back has the stunning cliffhanger ending because Lucas was desperate to meet the mega high expectations of the fans. It was mission impossible for Lucas because you can't top A New Hope except with the Star Wars prequel trilogy.)

Sorry for leaving this out is that Star Wars movie number 7 going to be non animated? (SuperShadow: Yeah, Star Wars Episode 7 is gonna be live action with real flesh and blood actors. Not like the computer animated Star Wars The Clone Wars movie and TV show.)

Hi Shadow. Thanks a million to the other question that was answered about how a Jedi / Sith makes their decisions based upon what they basically choose to do rather than by instinct. Well anyhow, here is my next question. I know this kind of seems bizarre, but is it possible that the light side of the Force can somehow shroud the view of the dark side as well in a way? (SuperShadow: Let me think about this.)

What I mean by this is by the part of that Darth Vader or Darth Sidious didn't seem to in my view know everything that was going on about Obi-Wan's plan for Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 4, Luke's resolve in Star Wars Episode 6 or the part of Starkiller being the hope for the Rebel Alliance until the ending of the Star Wars The Force Unleashed video game.

Thanks once again for anything you can give. I hope this isn't too crazy of a question to ask? (SuperShadow: Lucas says the light side can't be utilized to cloud the dark side of the Force because such a power is evil in nature. You should realize the dark side can't make the Sith Lords omniscient or able to accurately predict the future all the time. Remember that Yoda claims the future is always in motion and the future changes constantly. The Sith have limited abilities, but it's not because of anything the Jedi are consciously doing.)

SuperShadow, I had an idea for Star Wars Episode 7. The Sith are training and Spiden is watching them, then one pair of Dark Jedi use Force push and stumble into a chamber of old Sith history. There are scrolls, old Sith light sabers before Vader and Sith statues. (SuperShadow: Sweet temptation.)

Spiden looks around and sees all these great artifacts from different eras. Then a Sith holocron turns on and one after another turn on from different eras. (SuperShadow: Sounds similar to Stargate SG1 or Stargate Atlantis.) I think this might be a good quick number of minutes or seconds for a scene. Please answer. I like to know what your thoughts are on this. (SuperShadow: Totally spectacular. It will be forwarded to Lucas.)

Hello. Will there be a second computer animated Star Wars The Clone Wars movie to celebrate the release of season two of the Clone Wars TV show? (SuperShadow: Nyet. Not possible. The worldwide box office gross of the Clone Wars film was so pathetically meager that Warner Brothers won't consider releasing another Clone Wars motion picture in theaters. Instead, Warner Brothers might maybe sorta debut the first episodes of the live action Star Wars TV series in multiplexes in 2011.)

What kinds of new technologies would you expect to see 10 years from now? (SuperShadow: I expect home computers to be ultra powerful super computers by 2019 with the ability to create 100 percent photo realistic computer animation. This will allow LucasArts to create a Star Wars computer program that will allow fans to make their own Star Wars movies at home. Also I will become a machine immortal since we will achieve the technological singularity very, very quickly.)

Hi SS. Who is the more popular character, Han Solo or Jar Jar Binks? (SuperShadow: To this day, Jar Jar receives more fan mail at Lucasfilm than all other Star Wars characters combined. The Ewoks are second. However, amongst the older Star Wars fans Han Solo is vastly more popular when compared to Jar Jar. The target audience for Jar Jar is children. They make up most of the audience for the new Clone Wars TV series on the Cartoon Network.)

George's character Baron Papinoida is now a Pantoran instead of a Wroonian. What's the difference between Pantorans and Wroonians since their near Humans with blue skin? Chiss have red eyes. Twileks have lekku and come with a rainbow of colored skin. (SuperShadow: Intriguing.)

Narglatchs are the names of the blue skinned lion like mounts the Talz ride on Orto Plutonia. That and Alzoc III are two ice worlds that the Talz are from. Good thing they have warm white fur. (SuperShadow: Ni.) Anakin Skywalker told Chuchi that her meetings with Thi Sen were most impressive. I believe we heard Anakin say that to his son Luke.

Perhaps the Separatists somehow made their own clone trooper to infiltrate the ranks of loyal troops on Christophsis. (SuperShadow: Anything can happen.)

So Asajj Ventress was on Christophsis leading the droid army before going to Teth. Will General Whorm Loathsom make an appearance in the Hidden Enemy episode of the new Clone Wars TV series, a prequel to last year's Clone Wars movie? Maybe Admiral Yularen might make an appearance too.

Before Ahsoka Tano arrived to Christophsis comes a clone traitor. I thought all clones were loyal to the Old Republic. Can Cody and Rex find this double cross among their brothers? Find out on the Hidden Enemy. (SuperShadow: Will do.)

Captain Rex survives a close battle with the Talz. I like his snow gear. Another close call with him. The arrogant Chairman Chi Cho (Brian George who played Toydarian King Kantukko) dies and young Senator Riyo Chuchi (Jennifer Hale who is Aayla Secura) makes peace with the Talz and their leader Thi Sen with a little help from the translating C-3PO. (SuperShadow: Droids are killer cool.)

Lord SS, if Luke Skywalker had turned to the dark side, would Anakin Skywalker and Luke kill the Emperor? (SuperShadow: Yes, definitely. Darth Sidious can't defeat the Skywalker family.) And if that happened, would Star Wars Episodes 7 - 9 be totally different? (SuperShadow: The plot script would be unrecognizable if Luke turns to the dark side. It would be up to Princess Leia to save the galaxy.)

Would Leia learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi? (SuperShadow: Most probably. Leia would have no real choice.) And how come Mr. Lucas was such in a rush to make A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi? Was he tempted to after he came up with such a great idea of the project "Star Wars" or what? Please write back.

Later SS. Keep doin what you do. (SuperShadow: Each episode of the Star Wars classic trilogy took three years to complete. It didn't happen fast at all. Three years in Hollywood is an eternity. Day by day we move closer to May of 2021. We are ALMOST to the cinematic release of Star Wars Episode 7. All hail Lucas.)

Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Why isn't Darth Nihilus on the top Sith Lords rankings? (SuperShadow: Not every Sith can be ranked on the greatest Sith Lords list featured exclusively and only at SS.com. Only the zenith best can make the top twenty five Sith ever of all time in history.)

Dear Supes, did all of the clone commanders know that Emperor Palpatine and Darth Sidious were one and the same? (SuperShadow: We don't know the full depths of the Sith conspiracy.) And if not, why follow orders from a robe hologram? Many thanks. (SuperShadow: It is rumored that Darth Sidious had each clone troop genetically programmed to follow the commands of Sidious. The exact nature of why the clones turned on their Jedi Generals will likely NEVER be revealed by Lucas.)

Can't wait until 20 more years for the next one. (SuperShadow: It is a privilege to literally wait for eternity for Star Wars Episode 7 to hit cineplexes worldwide in May of 2021. Our prime duty in life should be to praise Lucas constantly without ceasing.)

Who would take it all in the duel between Yoda and an average Rodar Wizard? (SuperShadow: Yoda is a weak flesh and blood mortal. In comparison, the Rodar Wizards are an advanced everlasting species thought to be machine immortals. No Jedi Master can defeat a technological god.)

SuperShadow, who's more faster the Jedi Knights using Force super running speed or Wally West, who is D.C. Comic's "The Flash?" (SuperShadow: The Jedi are kinda slow and crappy when compared to modern super heroes.)

SS, a fan asked you who would win in a fight Darth Rage or Count Dooku. You said Rage, but Dooku is more powerful than Rage on the most powerful Sith list. (SuperShadow: Upsets happen in light saber battles all the time. Darth Rage is more ferocious when compared to the relaxed Darth Tyranus.)

Next who would win in a fight Anakin Skywalker or Darth Rage? (SuperShadow: No Sith Lord can kill the chosen one.) Anakin Skywalker or Starkiller. (SuperShadow: Darth Vader's secret apprentice is overly worthless and weak.)

Luke Skywalker or Anakin Skywalker. (SuperShadow: Hyper paradox situation, which threatens the entire integrity of the space time continuum.) Obi-Wan or Yoda. (SuperShadow: The luckiest Jedi in history can over power the simple Yoda.)

Plo Koon or Qui-Gon Jinn. (SuperShadow: Qui-Gon is the victor.) Qui-Gon or Anakin Skywalker. (SuperShadow: Anakin in a mega landslide.) Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader, but Vader goes full force. (SuperShadow: Already answered.) Then Yoda and Obi-Wan vs. Vader and Starkiller. (SuperShadow: The Jedi can't harm Vader until AFTER Vader has destroyed the Sith Order.)

Why doesn't Lucas air the new live action Star Wars TV show on his web site and charge a subscription fee or he could sell advertising slots? (SuperShadow: Practically zero fans pay for content at the official Star Wars web site. Lucas always seeks to maximize excessive profits. The live action TV series will debut on television even if it has to air on the Oxygen channel, Hallmark channel, Food channel or perhaps the Fitness channel if it becomes that desperate.)

The Internet is going to become much bigger than television in the next few years. (SuperShadow: This doesn't ever materialize in reality. You can't make any significant money from the Internet from selling TV shows or movies.)

Let's start with Soviet Spetsnaz. (SuperShadow: There's no authentic evidence that the Soviet Union had a military. The Russians are a peaceful and pacifist nation with no weapons especially suitcase nuclear devices, which could easily take out every large population area in the United States.)

In this concept, the Soviets are great chess masters. They think ten moves ahead. How can the Soviet Union create a spy with access to all of America's secrets? (SuperShadow: Getting the classified info of a free society is easy. Just ask the intelligence agencies of Russia, China, Israel, Mexico, North Korea, Iran and many, many, many others.)

Previously posted on the extremely ingenious SS.com: "(SuperShadow: The Sith Order can't exist without the secret knowledge of the Sith. Darth Sidious was the only Sith, who knew everything about the Sith religion, culture and ways of the dark side of the Force. The surviving Sith like Darth Maul and Darth Bane didn't have the Sith holocrons, which contained the hidden mysteries of the Sith. Without this info, the true Sith Order can NEVER be reformed.)

Hmmm. Darth Sidious might have been the only Sith during the time of the Prequel and Original trilogies with this knowledge. But he certainly wasn't the ONLY Sith. Who MADE the holocrons? (SuperShadow: The ancient Sith Lords, who constructed the data imprint of the hallowed Sith holocrons, have been deceased for thousands of years prior to the events of The Phantom Menace.)

Darth Bane lived thousands of years before Darth Sidious. (SuperShadow: Not true. Provide evidence from the Star Wars movie episodes or the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show. Garbage from the Star Wars expanded universe, which absolutely no one reads, doesn't count at all. We must adhere to the vision of Lucas and not nonsense from sources that nobody realizes exist.)

If anything, Darth Bane CREATED the Sith holocrons. (SuperShadow: Where's the evidence to support this theory? You know very, very well your personal beliefs have no validity on any topic. The only thing you have mastered in life is being wrong about everything especially Star Wars and Indiana Jones.)

Darth Bane was recording HIS knowledge. (SuperShadow: No, no, no!) Bane didn't need the Holocrons to know all the ancient Sith secrets. He learned them from his Master, and other Sith. (SuperShadow: I can't stop laughing. You can't back any of this up with legitimate sources.)

(Remember, this was before the Rule of Two.) (SuperShadow: Watch the Star Wars films for once in your life.) Darth Bane used the Holocrons to make a record of the ancient Sith knowledge inside his head, so, when he made his "journey to the future," it would be available for his apprentice and successors. (SuperShadow: Pure insanity.)

How do you make Shia heroic? (SuperShadow: Referring to Shia LaBeouf considered to be the most exceptional actor of his generation.) In "Transformers," he doesn't have anything to do. (SuperShadow: Saving the entire world matters. It's what I do daily.)

Once he realized his yellow Camaro was a robot, his part of the story ended. (SuperShadow: Why are you consistently mistaken about everything?) Indy Jones was totally involved in the Ark story, right up until it was stored in the warehouse.

Mutant zombies? (SuperShadow: Reference to a possible end times apocalyptic scenario revealed exclusively and only at SS.com, which is the only source for accurate interpretations of religious prophecy.) If you put trans-dimensional aliens in "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," are you thinking of bodies RE-ANIMATED by some demonic forces? (SuperShadow: We can't know the true nature of reality. Extraterrestrials, ghosts and demons could be the exact same phenomena. We cannot understand for certain. Not ever. No hope of such enlightenment.)

Is Rex the clone in Star Wars Episode 3? If not, what happened to him? (SuperShadow: If a specific character isn't seen or mentioned by name in the Star Wars prequel movies, then they have no role in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.)

Monday, February 9, 2009

Hello, SuperShadow! I was curious if there was any info on Luke Skywalker's training that was not in the Star Wars movies? Where and how did Luke train between Star Wars Episodes 5 - 6? It's obvious Luke obtained much more power, wisdom and confidence. Thanks. (SuperShadow: Very, very tres ingenious to raise this issue. The hardest thing some fans have with Star Wars is that Lucas remains extremely vague and creates many mysteries with the Star Wars movies.

There are no answers to these questions outside of the Star Wars films and TV series. Lucas does this on purpose to maintain a perpetual interest in Star Wars. Each week you watch the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV series hoping to get an answer. The reason SS.com has dominated Star Wars relentlessly for over 15 years is because we provide hints about the truth.

In the final examination, we will NEVER find out what Luke Skywalker did in between each episode of the Star Wars classic trilogy. Lucas has told me there will never be a Star Wars TV show set during the events of the classics. Furthermore, these enigmas will not be explored in Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9. You have to admire Lucas' ability to continue the popularity of Star Wars with no end in sight.)

Hey, SS. What were Luke Skywalker's true intentions when offering his droids to Jabba the Hutt? Was Luke really trying to bargain for Han Solo or did Luke know Jabba wouldn't accept and it was all just a way to sneak in his light saber concealed in R2-D2? (SuperShadow: Read and study the Star Wars plot formula intently.

One of the most important story elements of Star Wars is deception by the characters. Somebody is being deceived constantly during the Star Wars movies. We can't know how much of the future Luke could see utilizing the light side of the Force. It seems Luke could predict that Jabba would be too arrogant and over confident to bargain with a nobody like Luke.)

It's all so puzzling because you would think Luke was most worthy to save Han yet every other character attempts the rescue before Luke. Was Luke held up? Perhaps still in training? Thanks for answers to my questions. (SuperShadow: That's part of the Star Wars plot formula. The heroes are constantly getting captured by the villains.

This happens over and over and over again ad nauseum. You need to notice how every other episode in the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show has a character getting captured by other characters. You can't really have a compelling Star Wars adventure without somebody being held prisoner. Lucas is NEVER going to change.)

Yo SS. Since the Star Wars The Force Unleashed video game is officially recognized by Lucas, would you consider adding Darth Vader's secret apprentice as well as some of the other characters to the midichlorian list as well as the most powerful Jedi / Sith list? (SuperShadow: Yes, I would like to do so, but such info hasn't been given to me by Lucas. He works at his own pace and may not reveal this data for many years.)

If nothing else, it might evoke some interest in the story, which could possibly lead to more sales (I know you're skeptical). (SuperShadow: The Force Unleashed video game is the best selling title in the history of LucasArts. Lucas can do no wrong with the fans. We worship at the altar of Lucas.)

In addition to that you also have Revan and Malak from the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic video game, which Lucas had nothing to do with. (SuperShadow: I can't do anything without approval from Lucas. He controls the content of SS.com. It's something I can't control.)

If they are included, then maybe the characters from the Force Unleashed video game could be because Lucas was involved with that project. I hope you take my suggestions into account. Your web site rocks as do you, great one. (Please Post). (SuperShadow: Your ideas will be forwarded to Lucas, but it could be several eons before Lucas releases these facts to the fans at SS.com.)

What's good, SS? (SuperShadow: We argue about many subjects in life, but we can all agree this is the best time to have ever been alive. What's great is that the future is even brighter no matter what terrifying nightmares beyond our imagination will greet us in the future.) I've always been interested in the character of Darth Rage because he is said to be one of the most powerful Sith, yet very little is known about him.

I was wondering how much would have changed if Darth Rage was never killed, seeing as how you have stated in the past that he was nearly invincible. (SuperShadow: If Rage had survived to the events of Attack of the Clones, then Count Dooku probably never would have been recruited to join the Sith Lords. Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker would have confronted Darth Rage on Geonosis instead of Lord Darth Tyranus.)

How much did his kyber crystal increase his midichlorian count? (SuperShadow: We can't confirm whether Rage knew about the existence of the kyber crystals, which were forged by the Rodar Wizards.) Rage would have defeated Dooku, but would Sidious have trusted Rage to lead the Separatist army? (SuperShadow: Similar to Darth Maul, Darth Rage was a weapon and NOT a political and military master mind.)

Would Rage have been a permanent Sith apprentice or would Sidious replace Rage the way he did with Dooku? (SuperShadow: Check out the Star Wars plot formula again. The Sith betray each other. Sidious would have gotten rid of Rage in order to make Anakin Skywalker the Sith apprentice.)

Lastly would Rage have ever been able to surpass Sidious and become the master? (SuperShadow: No. Darth Sidious was always fated to be the last Sith Master in the history of the galaxy. The Sith Order doesn't return again after Return of the Jedi.) Please post, Shad. You are the person and everyone knows it. (SuperShadow: Being blessed above the rest of Humanity is my daily burden. I apologize for taking all the good fortune of Earth just for myself. I'm selfish and think only of myself.)

Yo SS, did you play a Naboo royal guard in Star Wars Episode I and a Naboo cruiser security guard in Star Wars Episode II? (SuperShadow: Not even slightly. During The Phantom Menace, I can clearly be seen in the pod racing arena at Mos Espa. In Attack of the Clones, I can be seen in Dexter Jettster's cafe. Of course, for Revenge of the Sith, I had the honor of being the legendary Nebar Foxis, who was by far without question the best looking Jedi of all time ever.)

Darth Shadow, if Anakin Skywalker is the chosen one and Anakin can't be killed by a Sith so if Luke Skywalker joined Darth Sidious and then Obi-Wan fought Luke Skywalker on Mustafar, who would win in that fight? (SuperShadow: Obi-Wan can't kill anyone named Skywalker. Luke would prevail against Obi-Wan.)

Then if Anakin fights Sidious, we all know Anakin would win. So then if Luke defeats Obi-Wan and Luke then fights Anakin as a full fledged Sith and Anakin fights Luke as a full fledged Jedi, who would win in that fight? (SuperShadow: The chosen one can't defeat the greatest Jedi Master of all time, who is protected by the will of the Force.

Likewise, Luke can't defeat the chosen one until the Jedi prophecy has been completed by Anakin.) Then what would become of the galaxy? (SuperShadow: In the end, the Jedi win against the Sith even if it doesn't happen until the conclusion of Star Wars Episode 9.)

Hey Shadow, what's up? (SuperShadow: Winning at it all with no one in second place.) Who has the best winning percentage for light saber duels? (SuperShadow: If you have one loss, you're probably deceased so you do the equation figuring.) Please answer. I have been waiting for a long time to get on here. (SuperShadow: Similar to waiting for the Messiah. It could be a trillion years or much, much more complicated wait.)

Hey, S.S. What's up? (SuperShadow: Divine in my every endeavor.) I read your answers to the fans' questions frequently. (SuperShadow: SS.com is the most visited Star Wars fan web site in history. Your envy of me can't be measured.)

You said the kyber crystal owned by Darth Sidious weakens the Jedi. So does that mean when Luke Skywalker was taken captive on the second death star with Sidious' presence, was Luke's power actually weakened, yet able to defeat Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi? Just an interesting to think about. (SuperShadow: You need to remember that Luke is the most powerful Jedi of all time by an extremely large margin. Luke at 50 percent of full power is still superior to any other Jedi including Yoda and Mace Windu combined to infinity on steroids at maximum warp speed.)

If Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn would've gotten killed on board the Trade Federation battleship, what would've been Darth Sidious' next plans? (SuperShadow: Very, very insightful. Without the interference of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, the Trade Federation would have permanently conquered Naboo and Queen Amidala would have been executed. This results in Luke and Leia Skywalker NEVER being born, which causes Darth Sidious and Darth Maul to control the galaxy for a long, long time. The evil Galactic Empire would have endured indefinitely.)

How many episodes of the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV series will there be? I must know. (SuperShadow: Depends on success in the weekly Nielsen TV ratings. Lucas wants a minimum of 100 individual episodes of the Clone Wars TV show, but it might get canceled after season 2. Nothing is certain for Lucas at this point because the most viewers the Clone Wars receives in a given week is a maximum of 2 million people per new episode.)

When Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker were talking at the opera house during Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine says that Darth Plagueis was able to influence the midichlorians to create "life" and when Palpatine says the word "life" Palpatine looks at Anakin right in the eye.

Shmi Skywalker claims to Qui-Gon Jinn that there was no father, but is it possible that Plagueis could have visited Anakin's mother, Shmi, and influenced her midichlorians? (SuperShadow: Extremely silly. This can't be factual because you're never right about anything. Give me a break, please. Stay focused on reality and not needlessly complicated conspiracies that can't be real.)

Hello, SuperShadow. I was thinking. But if Darth Sidious did not have the kyber crystal, would Sidious still be the 1st top ranking in the Sith? If not, who would be the first? Have a good day. (SuperShadow: Without the godlike powers of the kyber crystal, Sidious would be a lot weaker. Darth Vader would be the most powerful Sith ever while Sidious would not rank in the top fifty.)

SuperShadow, what's the back ground on Luke Skywalker's son, "Ben Skywalker," for Star Wars Episode VII, VIII and IX? (SuperShadow: No further personal history about the characters in Star Wars Episode 7 will be released to the fans until after 2017.) Was Luke's son really named after Obi-Wan Kenobi A.K.A Ben Kenobi? (SuperShadow: This is true.)

Why didn't Luke just name his son Obi-Wan Skywalker? (SuperShadow: You can't question Lucas.) How powerful will Ben Skywalker be in Star Wars Episode VII, VIII and IX and what about his cousin Anakin Solo? (SuperShadow: Ben Skywalker and Anakin Solo will be equal in power compared to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker during Revenge of the Sith.)

How old will the two Jedi cousins be in Star Wars 7, 8 and 9? (SuperShadow: Roughly the same age as Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones. Both Ben Skywalker and Anakin Solo will be Jedi padawan learners at the start of Star Wars Episode 7.)

Hey, SS. What was that cylinder shaped chamber used by Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode 5? (SuperShadow: Let me guess. You're addicted to Star Trek and The Lord of the Rings. I wish I could stop laughing at YOU for one second to answer your query. Being hysterical at your constant buffoonery is time consuming.)

Did Vader use it to meditate or learn how to breathe without his mask? Thanks. (SuperShadow: It's called a hyperbolic chamber as seen in Vader's star destroyer during The Empire Strikes Back. Like Superman's Fortress of Solitude. I'm NEVER going to stop laughing at ya. This will continue for countless epochs into the future.)

Saturday, February 7, 2009

Darth Shadow, please have mercy upon me. Got a question for ya. Has Darth Maul always been in the rage? (SuperShadow: Reference The Phantom Menace to showcase the Sith Lords like Darth Vader and Darth Maul are NOT born evil.) Has Maul ever been in calm mode? (SuperShadow: Yeah, most certainly.) It seems to me that Darth Maul is the essence of evil itself, as if Maul was born of the dark side of the Force, like Anakin from the Force. (SuperShadow: Not true at all. This reveals limited creativity on your part.)

Compare to Darth Tyranus and Darth Vader, Maul is the only one to look like a pure evil. (SuperShadow: Looks can deceive.) Vader has stated himself that the Emperor is not as forgiving as him. Count Dooku probably has forgiven someone before while he was a Sith Lord. What do you think or rather, know? (SuperShadow: None of the Sith were born nefarious. Over time, each of these malevolent people became evil as a result of the path they chose to take in life.)

Hey Dr. S.S. How's my heart? (SuperShadow: Hollow and illusory.) I have noticed in Star Wars Episode 1, the colors of the light sabers are lighter when compared to the last two Star Wars prequel episodes. (SuperShadow: Wrong.) Mind if you explain this mystery? (SuperShadow: Nyet.) It would be nice to have the colors exactly the same as in Star Wars Episodes 2 and 3. Have a nice day. (SuperShadow: The Star Wars prequels are perfect without any errors.)

Previously posted at the mesmerizing SS.com: "SuperShadow, what happens to Cliegg Lars after the events of Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones? (SuperShadow: Cliegg was killed by the Tusken Raiders.) And will the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV show reveal what happens to Cliegg Lars (Owen Lars' father)? (SuperShadow: No way.)"

"Could we see Cliegg Lars in the live action Star Wars TV series?" (SuperShadow: Not gonna happen.) If yes, why killed by Tusken Raiders like his wife? (SuperShadow: Most unnatural Human deaths in the Tatooine wilderness are caused by attacks by the Sand People.)

Lord SuperShadow, would it not be cooler if Boba Fett kills Cliegg while quipping: "Jabba and Watto says hello." Jabba's motive would be that Cliegg was holding his ration of moisture from Jabba (i.e., in return for protection against the Tuskens, making it a race between the Tuskens and Jabba's henchmen as to the killing of Cliegg). (SuperShadow: Not worthy of Lucas.)

While Watto was upset with Cliegg for some past gambling debt, Boba just happens to be in the right place at the right time to be able to collect the money for both jobs with one kill. (SuperShadow: Rejected. Afraid so.)

What's up, SS? (SuperShadow: SS.com increases in popularity with each passing day. Exactly as expected.) Why is it that General Grievous was never trained in the ways of the Force? (SuperShadow: We don't yet know the complete history of General Grievous. It may never be given to the fans by Lucas.)

Grievous was a formidable opponent to the Jedi without the Force so he would have been an even greater threat to the Jedi with the Force. (SuperShadow: False fan myth. Where in the Star Wars films or the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show is it stated Grievous can't harness the powers of the Force?) His midichlorian count was higher than many Jedi.

And his skills with a light saber were more than adequate. (SuperShadow: Grievous killed countless dozens of Jedi in light saber battles.) Did Darth Sidious ever consider training Grievous or replacing Count Dooku with him since Dooku was ancient? (SuperShadow: No. Sidious always planned to replace Count Dooku with Anakin Skywalker as the Sith apprentice.)

Would Lucas consider using Christian Bale (SuperShadow: The actor who is the Batman character in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.) for a role in the next Star Wars movie trilogy? He'd be a great Sith Lord. He's evil in real life. (SuperShadow: Bale can't work for Lucas because of exorbitant salary demands from Bale. Lucas pays his actors nothing, not counting the $ 100 million U.S. dollars that Harrison Ford earned for Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.)

Hey S.S. I have a question that only you can answer. (SuperShadow: The hidden intricacies of reality are known solely to me.) I have vague memories of a late eighties / early nineties Star Wars cartoon involving a long haired Jedi. Is this true or did I just dream of it? If it is true, where can I obtain them? (SuperShadow: Most of what you believe in life is not true especially this insipid idea.)

Previously posted on the spectacular SS.com: "(SuperShadow: The light saber special effects are now perfect thanks to the corrections Lucas made for the DVD versions of the classics.)"

Not true. In A New Hope, just before Ben Kenobi detects the destruction of Alderaan aboard the Millennium Falcon, Luke Skywalker's light saber is green, not blue. Also, during the light saber fight between Obi-Wan and Vader on the death star, Obi-Wan's light saber bends and also turns PURPLE for a frame or two. (SuperShadow: Very, very laughable. Lucas can't make such mistakes.)

During The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader's light saber misses Luke's hand AND the tower that Vader cuts down, but both are still cut. In Return of the Jedi, when Luke kicks Vader down the steps, Vader's light saber switches to violet! (This is not the only time Vader's light saber turns violet in the Star Wars original trilogy). (SuperShadow: Such a dreary life you have.)

When Vader throws his light saber at Luke, the light saber blade comes out the **** of the light saber. Also, when Luke is hiding from Vader, you can clearly see Luke's light saber in Vader's left hand while Vader still has his light saber ignited in his right. Finally, when Luke stares at his mechanical hand, his light saber blade appears to be going through the rail.

Thank you and PLEASE post! (Also, there are shadows given by light sabers throughout the Star Wars original trilogy and when does light itself cast shadows?) (SuperShadow: There is much about the world you can't grasp.)

After being locked up for some time, Jabba the Hutt's uncle Ziro gets a chance to be freed by a variety of alien and Human bounty hunters on Coruscant with the Senate building being shown for the first time in this great Clone Wars television show. Could Count Dooku or someone else not a Separatist want Ziro free along with Lok Durd and his Aqualish side kick?

The hostages must be Senators. Anakin Skywalker is among them so he'll save them all with a few clones. At last, the first season episode guide is now complete. I always loved those ruthless bounty hunters be they Human, alien or droid anywhere in the galaxy including Jango and Boba Fett. Mace Windu will have action in Ryloth at the end of season one of the new Clone Wars TV show. (SuperShadow: Extremely fascinating.)

SS. The man, the myth, the legend. (SuperShadow: I'm above this, obviously.) One question. In Star Wars Episode 3 if the tables were turned, for instance: If Obi-Wan had to face Darth Sidious and Yoda went to Mustafar to face Anakin Skywalker, what would be the outcome? (SuperShadow: Same results given what happens in the Star Wars classic trilogy. Neither Sidious nor Vader can perish during the Star Wars prequels.)

I would have to guess, of course, that Yoda would have cleaned the floor with Anakin. (SuperShadow: Yes, but Anakin would survive the encounter with Yoda.) I don't think that Obi-Wan would have defeated Sidious, but Obi-Wan does have the will of the Force not to be defeated or killed unless it helps the greater good. (SuperShadow: Agreed. Obi-Wan has a special fate related to the Jedi prophecy of the one, who will bring balance to the Force by destroying the Sith.)

With that being said. Do you think that somehow Obi-Wan would have found a way to defeat Sidious even if it meant Obi-Wan's demise? (SuperShadow: This can't happen. Both Obi-Wan and Sidious must continue alive after Revenge of the Sith) Thanks. And give my regards to the Master, GL! (SuperShadow: Your ideas will be forwarded to Lucas.)

Friday, February 6, 2009

Were the 5 minute mini episodes created by Lucas or not? (SuperShadow: No. You make me laugh.) If Obi-Wan had not been separated from Qui-Gon Jinn in the battle against Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, could they have defeated Darth Maul without Qui-Gon dying? (SuperShadow: Yeah, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan would have destroyed Maul as a team if they had not been outwitted by the Sith apprentice. An important element of the Star Wars plot formula is for the Sith Lords to constantly outsmart the Jedi.)

I have some ideas that I want to share that could be put into a future Star Wars television series created by George Lucas himself. It revolves around Obi-Wan Kenobi and what Obi-Wan does immediately after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. (SuperShadow: A Star Wars TV series featuring Obi-Wan after Revenge of the Sith can't happen. This will not be accepted by Lucas no matter what.)

The TV show starts off with Obi-Wan leaving the Lars home stead on his eopie. Just hours earlier, Obi-Wan landed on Tatooine with the J type Naboo Skiff (Padme Amidala's star ship) with the baby Luke Skywalker. Right after Obi-Wan left the Lars Homestead, Obi-Wan got on his eopie and started an adventure back to the Naboo Skiff, which was all the way in the outskirts of Tatooine. (SuperShadow: Envying me is a world wide passion.)

The reason Obi-Wan didn't travel to the Lars home stead with the Naboo Skiff is because the star ship itself had some sort of engine malfunction. So Obi-Wan had to leave the star ship behind and get an animal to travel on to the Lars home stead. Obi-Wan went to Anchorhead (the closest city to the Lars home stead) and bought an eopie. (SuperShadow: Jealously of me is a dedicated profession for many individuals.)

That's when Obi-Wan traveled on a two hour journey from the location of Anchorhead Obi-Wan was in, to the Lars home stead with the baby Luke, so Obi-Wan can deliver Luke to his family. When Obi-Wan departed from the Lars home stead at the end of Star Wars Episode 3, Obi-Wan made his way back to Anchorhead to buy the pieces Obi-Wan needed for the Naboo Skiff. (SuperShadow: Coveting my life is the number one hobby on Earth.)

But one hour into it, Obi-Wan got very tired so Obi-Wan set up camp in the area he stopped at (which was somewhere in the Judland Wastes) and rested until morning. At morning time, Obi-Wan packed up the tent he slept in and all his other stuff he had out from the night before. After that Obi-Wan headed out for an hour long journey to Anchorhead to acquire the parts Obi-Wan needs to repair the Naboo Skiff.

This story outline will be continued, SuperShadow. (SuperShadow: Glory to the Heavens for this precious gift.) I hope you post this idea on this web site and I hope you like my idea. (SuperShadow: Totally brilliant, theoretically speaking.) I'm not done yet with my ideas for this specific story outline so I'll gradually continue it. (SuperShadow: Do not disappoint us with further displays of massive mind power. We expect more very, very soon.)

You know how there are Dark Jedi? I want to know if there is such thing as a Light Sith. Please answer me. (SuperShadow: This is possible. Asajj Ventress claims to be a Sith, but she's not a pure Sith Lord because Darth Sidious has not given her official status in the Sith Order. Darth Tyranus doesn't have the necessary authority to make Ventress a real Sith.)

SuperShadow, use your magic to get George Lucas to sing for Velvet Revolver? (SuperShadow: Slash and Duff McKagan have no interest in a triple chinned lead singer, who is a 64 million year old ego centric maniac. That's what Axl Rose is suppose to do.)

Dear Mr. Lucas, do the Humans in the Star Wars galaxy have a home planet or was it blown up by the death star? (SuperShadow: Nobody knows where Humans first evolved. Humans are found on countless thousands of planets around the galaxy.) Thank you for your time and God bless you.

P.S. Thank you for the great movies over the years. (SuperShadow: The U.S. Government hopes to master time travel technology immediately so that they can avoid starting a war with the machine immortals in the past. It's not as hopeless as you might believe. You only need millions of years and quadrillions of U.S. dollars to develop a working time displacement device.)

SS, I just have to say Luke Skywalker I think would be no match for Anakin Skywalker as a Sith Lord or full fledged Jedi Master. Anakin has the midichlorian count that is a hundred difference between Obi-Wan's and Luke's combined midichlorian count. (SuperShadow: Luke defeated Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi.)

If Anakin was in his Star Wars Episode 3 condition and then when Anakin just reached his full potential as a Sith plus found a kyber crystal, it would take two Lukes just to match Anakin. (SuperShadow: Make believe can't be real.) Plus Anakin is the chosen one. Anakin can't die until he fulfills the Jedi prophecy so nobody, not even Luke as a full fledged Jedi Master, could kill Anakin. (SuperShadow: This is true. The will of the Force protects Anakin until Anakin has eliminated the Sith Lords from existence.)

So I rest my case. Anakin Skywalker as a true Jedi or Sith could kill Luke Skywalker if Anakin wanted to and Anakin is more powerful than any one in the Star Wars universe. Just wanted to get it off my chest, SS, you still and always will rock! (SuperShadow: Your opinion is valid and can't be disputed.)

Previously posted on the ingenious SS.com: "(SuperShadow: It's a scientific fact that extraterrestrials can't exist. Don't be foolish.)"

Agreed. But within the context of the Indiana Jones mythology, trans-dimensional aliens DO exist. (SuperShadow: Yes, this is so.) And they weren't very scary. Or interesting. ET was only a gardener and we cried when he left. Why? Because there was something sympathetic about short, ugly aliens visiting strange planets to collect samples of the fauna. (SuperShadow: Extraterrestrials are extremely pathetic. I'd say it to their faces if they could be a reality.)

Lord Shadow, every time I give a specific example, I worry that I'm not doing the original concept justice. My point is, give "Indiana Jones 5" an ending that makes the audience want to pay to see the movie a second and third time. "Titanic" did it. (SuperShadow: Lucas may not be as smart as James Cameron, the director, writer and producer of the Titanic movie.)

Lord Shadow, I'm not at all sure this is the way to go for "Indiana Jones 5." That's not my decision to make. But this concept offers a highly emotional ending that expands on the ending of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The Ark of the Covenant contains a few Fallen Angels, and the supernatural Realm inside the Cave contains countless billions of them. And it explains why the Ark exists. (SuperShadow: Pretty sweet to consider.)

For once, the Trespass episode of the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show is a one part episode as are the rest before the 3 part story of the Separatists invading the Twi'lek home world of Ryloth.

Those lion like creatures that the Talz rode against the clone troopers riding BARC speeders are called Narglatchs. The blue skinned natives that Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker meet are either Pantaurens or Wroonians. The Jedi wear similar snow gear like the Rebel Alliance. Both races colonizing the planet appear to be against each other.

Could any of them be in league with the Separatists? Ahsoka Tano is not around. Behind the clone troops in a gunship appears to be See Threepio. Can he stand the cold temperatures like in Hoth while translating the Talz language? Tune in next week. (SuperShadow: I see.)

I liked how Wag Too stood up against his father Tee Wat Kaa for the sake of their village in the "Defenders of Peace" episode of the Clone Wars. Looks like Lok Durd and his walrus faced Aqualish side kick are going to end up in trouble on Coruscant and placed in captivity.

Looks like Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan with some snow clones including a snow suited Rex are going to meet some blue skinned natives in this ice world Orto Plutonia. Glad it's not Rhen Var, Ilum and of course the sixth planet in the Hoth system. They'll also encounter white furred four eyed Talz. Their home world of Alzoc III is also a frozen world. Best known Talz are Muftak from the Mos Eisley cantina and Jedi Foul Mondana killed by General Grievous. (SuperShadow: Tres interesting.)

Hey, SS. Is Count Dooku really Qui-Gon Jinn's former master or is this another myth from the Star Wars extended universe? (SuperShadow: If this relationship has not been revealed in the Star Wars movies or new Star Wars TV series, then it is not actual Star Wars canon based on the vision of Lucas. 300 thousand plus complainers at SS.com are upset with me falling behind with the daily SS updates. Suttle down for a moment. I don't have full access to the powers of the technological gods.)

Thursday, February 5, 2009

From several episodes of Seinfield comes Brian George. From the first episode of the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show called "Ambush," George played Toydarian King Kantuuko. George will be in the latest episode "Trespass" playing the greedy blue skinned Pantoran representative Chi Cho. That makes Riyo Chuchi the female Pantoran senator and Thi Sen the chief of the white furred four eyed Talz on Orto Plutonia.

There was a Talz Jedi named Foul Mondama killed by General Grievous while protecting Palpatine during the Battle of Coruscant. The other known Talz is Muftak at the Mos Eisley cantina. (SuperShadow: Thanks for the info. I fervently pray the Nielsen TV ratings increase enough for the Clone Wars TV series to survive passed Season 2.)

SuperShadow, what can we expect to see on Darth Vader in the next few years? (SuperShadow: Nothing on television. Darth Vader will have no role in either computer animated or live action Star Wars TV shows. Vader will be limited to the Star Wars expanded universe materials. This includes the Star Wars novels, comic books and video games.)

Anything from Star Wars books and magazines, etc.? (SuperShadow: I don't follow the Star Wars expanded universe literature. There are no major Star Wars fan web sites dedicated to these third party derived stories. Very, very few fans even realize these stories exist.)

And will SuperShadow have a huge part in Star Wars Episodes 7, 8 and 9? Please, please answer these questions for me! Thanks! (SuperShadow: Many diverse and varied fan ideas, submitted at SS.com, are being integrated by Lucas into the plot script outline for Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9.)

Dear SuperShadow, who was Lok Durd? Was he Nute Gunray's brother or is Durd his father? (SuperShadow: The Star Wars galaxy is massive in size. Not all Nemoidians are related by blood.) How come Ben Kenobi has clone armor if clones are the only one who wears them? Love this web site. (SuperShadow: SS.com will remain the most popular Star Wars fan web site. We literally have no competition.)

SuperShadow, a quick question. Could Darth Vader have been able to have a suit so he was more comfortable by Darth Sidious? (SuperShadow: There's nothing wrong with the mechanical Vader mask and armor.) I mean could Vader have been able to not have the breathing mask on at all or something different? Please, please answer this one! Thanks! (SuperShadow: Vader can't breathe with his own lungs outside of Vader's hyperbolic chamber, which is featured briefly during The Empire Strikes Back.)

Previously on the stunning SS.com: "(SuperShadow: If Qui-Gon Jinn had been alive after The Phantom Menace, Anakin probably never would have fallen to the dark side. The fact Qui-Gon could prevent Anakin from turning to the dark side is one of the primary reasons why Qui-Gon couldn't survive to see Attack of the Clones.)

So you're saying that Ben Kenobi wasn't strong enough to save Anakin Skywalker from the dark side? (SuperShadow: Closely examine the events of the Star Wars prequel trilogy.) Knowing this, Kenobi had to look after Luke Skywalker to convince Luke to learn the Force by chance with the help of Qui-Gon from the after life and from the training of Yoda defeat Darth Sidious and even turn Anakin back to the good side. (SuperShadow: Random occurrences are natural.)

If Vader would not have saved Luke, would the Emperor and Vader have died anyway in the second death star explosion? (SuperShadow: We don't know for certain. Sidious and Vader probably would have escaped if they learned quick enough that the shield generator protecting the second death star had been destroyed.)

Hey Shadow, quick question? How does it work for the Star Wars expanded universe's writers? Do they have to submit their writings to Lucas or all the writers are already known by Lucas and can do mostly what they want? (SuperShadow: Lucas has practically no involvement in the creation of the story plots for the Star Wars novels and comic books. The top executives at LucasBooks determine what the overall direction will be for those written adventures.

The authors of these stories create their own ideas based on what LucasBooks wants them to write. Lucas doesn't have enough time to read these materials. If the individual writers want to do something major like making Yoda dance, then something like this has to be approved by Lucas.)

How come Mat Lucas didn't play the voice of Anakin Skywalker in the new Clone Wars TV series like he did in the 2003 Clone Wars cartoon animated series and video games? (SuperShadow: The original Clone Wars TV shorts and the new Clone Wars TV series have different creative directors and producers involved in these TV series. They don't share the same vision for the Anakin Skywalker character.)

I thought that he sounded much closer to Anakin's voice than the other Anakin Skywalker voice actor. All the other voice actors returned for the Clone Wars TV series just how come Mat Lucas didn't? (SuperShadow: There can be scheduling and availability conflicts or salary disputes. Lucasfilm is a privately owned company, which means certain Star Wars secrets aren't revealed to the fans.)

Shadow - your comments this past Saturday - "SuperShadow: This is not sufficient. If you tax someone making $ 1 million U.S. dollars at 90 percent, this only generates 900 thousand dollars in tax revenues. Instead a heavy tax on accumulated financial net worth needs to be implemented immediately."

"For example, if someone has real estate and stock holdings worth $ 50 million U.S. dollars, a simple 30 percent tax rate on this needless wealth will yield $ 15 million U.S. dollars. To properly redistribute wealth in this country, we need to tax the net worth of the extremely well off. The ultra rich will continue to laugh at the IRS until this justice happens."

ARE YOU ****** KIDDING ME? (SuperShadow: If you don't accept tax fairness, then perhaps you should move to North Korea.) First off, I am not wealthy. In fact, far from it. I work very hard for what I have, as do those such as George Lucas, who has earned every dollar of the many millions he has. Redistribute?

Redistribution of wealth was tried many years ago in a country far, far, away. It failed. It is also wrong for those who have not to expect those who have to pay for their miserable lives. (SuperShadow: That's why elections matter. If the extremely rich don't want their money taken, they should be more involved in politics. The wealthy are going to pay the ultimate price eventually.)

Again, I am FAR from wealthy and I work my *** off. People like Lucas have earned their money the hard way - they worked for it. How about this? End the senseless giving of welfare to those who make it a way of life, having child after child and expecting others to pay for it. Turn welfare back into what it was supposed to be - a helping hand until they get back on their feet. (SuperShadow: When a nation loses compassion for the needy, it has no right to exist.)

How about making them work some community hours for the welfare? After all, it's FREE MONEY! How about random **** testing for those on welfare? I work, I get **** tested and my tax dollars are currently paying for some (not all) to take this gift, which they don't have to get **** tested for. (SuperShadow: Embrace socialism in all its forms. It can't be stopped at this point in time.)

Redistribute? I make much less than 35k per year. I'm a single father with full custody. I don't receive any child support from my ex. And I'm not going to start whining about it so someone else can pay my way. Redistribute? Go to ****. Let them pay the very same percentage rate that I do. No more, no less. They've earned what they have, just as I have earned the things that I have.

I am proud and I guarantee you I'll be just fine without the distribution. (SuperShadow: The riches we justly will tax from Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford and especially George Lucas will be given to people similar to you. The middle class will be the primary beneficiaries of the forthcoming income reallocation. No individual should be allowed to have more than $ 20 million U.S dollars in total financial net worth.

Furthermore, yearly personal income over 250 thousand U.S. dollars will be taxed at 95 percent. You will benefit greatly from this final justice. The communists and socialists always win in the end. Free market capitalism is doomed to epic failure as is evidenced by the deepening and unending economic depression, which haunts the entire world. Greedy capitalism has no future in our lives. We are entering a new era where all of us will be equals. True equality for all.)

Hi SuperShadow, wouldn't it be cool if when Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi was angry and attacking Darth Vader wildly as soon as Luke cuts off Vader's hand and looking at Vader with much fury for a brief second Luke's eyes turn Sith yellow and back to normal? What do you think? (SuperShadow: Absolutely not. This shows no understanding of the basics of Star Wars.)

Is Darth Plagueis Anakin's father? (SuperShadow: No, Anakin has no real biological father. Anakin is a child of the Force.) Who was Darth Plagueis' master? (SuperShadow: Darth Imperius.) Is Plagueis going to be in the future Star Wars films? (SuperShadow: Yeah, some form of Darth Plagueis will appear in Star Wars Episode 7.)

Or a Star Wars TV show about Darth Plagueis and the ancient Sith? (SuperShadow: A Star Wars TV series about the ancient Jedi and Sith isn't going to happen within the next few years. It depends on whether the new Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show can remain popular in the Nielsen TV ratings on the Cartoon Network.)

Lucas didn't correct the light saber mistakes in the 2004 DVD release of the Star Wars classic trilogy. Sometimes the light saber blades look flat or the wrong color. (SuperShadow: Not accurate at all. The light saber special effects are now perfect thanks to the corrections Lucas made for the DVD versions of the classics.)

Hi, my name is ***** ***** and I am a huge, HUGE fan of Star Wars since I was a kid and I have a question. Do you know a complete list of all absolutely all of Force powers? (SuperShadow: Check out the Star Wars Questions Database (Star Wars Frequently Asked Questions) located exclusively at SS.com.)

SuperShadow, what happens to Cliegg Lars after the events of Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones? (SuperShadow: Cliegg was killed by the Tusken Raiders.) And will the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV show reveal what happens to Cliegg Lars (Owen Lars' father)? (SuperShadow: No way.)

I thought The Dark Knight was amazing, but not as epic as Star Wars. But it is now my favorite movie next to Revenge of the Sith and I Am Legend. RIP Heath Ledger! (SuperShadow: Come quickly, extraterrestrial overlords. We patiently await their inevitable arrival.)

If Obi-Wan joined Count Dooku during Attack of the Clones, could Obi-Wan and Dooku together have beaten Palpatine in a light saber duel? (SuperShadow: Difficult to answer. Palpatine has the kyber crystal while Obi-Wan is the luckiest Jedi of all time. Lucas avoided having a battle between Obi-Wan vs. Darth Sidious because Obi-Wan was likely the only prequel era Jedi, who could defeat Sidious in combat.)

Also, Dooku gave away some pretty important info when Dooku said a Sith Lord is controlling the senate. Was Dooku in part, hoping that the Jedi would discover Palpatine and kill him? This would leave Dooku as the Sith Master, but possibly mess up his plans for a Sith takeover. (SuperShadow: The Star Wars plot formula requires the Sith Lords to constantly betray each other in the Star Wars movies.

It's kinda inexplicable as to why Lord Darth Tyranus would reveal the truth about the Sith conspiracy when such a revelation could destroy Tyranus in the process. There are many aspects of Star Wars, which the average fan can never fully grasp. Such is the mega genius of Lucas.)

A previous post on the mesmerizing SS.com: "We see that practically every major character in the Star Wars films exhibit portrayals of Moral Dilemma in their actions and choices, even their facial expressions."

That's why I wanted to stress the importance of featuring a Moral Dilemma in any concept for "Indiana Jones 5." If Indy is going to fail all the time, the least you can do is give him a grueling moral dilemma to ponder while he's explaining what went wrong. (SuperShadow: I have fallen asleep.)

Since George refuses to tell us what the live-action Star Wars TV series is about, we're not going to get everything right. Considering everything, I think we're doing pretty good. It's like a Mystery. (SuperShadow: Lucas has already stated that the live action TV show focuses on a group of people not connected to the Empire or the Old Republic.)

George said these are "Star Wars Stories" that he's wanted to tell a long time, but couldn't fit into the rigid time limits of the movie Trilogies. The story George loved to tell the most is conflict with parental authority. A teenager rebels against his parents. He set up the padawan system in the Jedi Order to explore that. Why did Mutt Williams ride a motorcycle instead of driving a car? Rebellion against parental authority, mostly. (SuperShadow: Motor bikes are killer cool.)

What would David Koepp do? (SuperShadow: You're the only one, who cares about what Koepp thinks.) If he was hired to write a TV series, and the producers wouldn't tell him what the series was about? (SuperShadow: Koepp's salary demands are more than what a low budget Star Wars TV show can afford. Unknown, lowly paid screen writers will create the scripts for the live action TV series for Lucas.)

There's one obvious moment of elevation that I want to see. When Leia ascends the podium in the Galactic Senate and announced the end of the Last Emperor's reign. The End of Empire. I know George can make Leia's victory as emotional as anything in The Matrix. Or, even Casablanca. Leia is the one character who is totally invested in restoring the Galactic Republic. We think of her as a Senator more than a warrior.

If I were writing Star Wars Episode 7, the main theme would be the relationship between Leia and the current and last Emperor. She leads a group that has enormous wealth and power, but he has a Fleet of Star Destroyers. For years, they've been dancing around, wondering how long it will be before the Emperor starts bombing their planets. Leia refuses to back down.

Previously posted on the stunning SS.com: "(SuperShadow: The Star Wars plot formula strictly requires that the heroes face a new adversary for each Star Wars movie trilogy. The Separatists were the primary enemies in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. The Empire was the main villain during the Star Wars classic trilogy. The Dark Jedi will be the new bad guys in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.)"

How are the Dark Jedi at the same level as the Galactic Empire? (SuperShadow: Thousands of Dark Jedi are vastly more powerful when compared to millions of storm troopers, who can't harness the powers of the Force. The Dark Jedi are the greatest threat to the galaxy since the Sith Lords in their prime thousands of years prior to the events of Star Wars Episode 7.)

The Jedi are a quasi-religious order that individuals have to pass tests to join. I believe only Force sentients can be Dark Jedi, which means one in a million, right? The Galactic Empire included everyone on thousands of planets. One reason the Star Wars Prequels were weaker is that the Separatists weren't very well defined as Villains. At one point, Padme seemed to be supporting the Separatists, as she realized just how messed up the Republic's government had become.

The villain for Star Wars Episode 7 should be the Empire, and the movie should build to a conclusion where the last Emperor is finally shoved out the door. After Palpatine died, there should be a period where the Admirals of the Imperial Fleet tried to gain individual power, and finally the conflict escalated into a few space battles.

One Admiral claimed the title of Emperor, and he had enough charisma that most of the Empire acknowledged him, like Augustus Caesar rose to power after Julius Caesar was killed on the Ides of March. (SuperShadow: Lucas NEVER copies nonsense from history.)

If the Dark Jedi are a Hidden Circle, they just aren't going to be anywhere awe-inspiring enough to be effective villains. They're just Sith-lite. (SuperShadow: Extremely naive viewpoint. Thousands of Dark Jedi could easily destroy two Sith Lords.)

Hi SS, my questions are in regard to the Star Wars Universe and future Star Wars films and stories. I was wondering what Lucas thought of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars novel series and would Lucas ever consider working with Mr. Zahn on any films based of the Star Wars novels in the future? (SuperShadow: Lucas is appreciative of Zahn's Star Wars novels in bringing back the popularity and excessive profitability of the Star Wars merchandise and collectibles. There will be no Star Wars movies or TV series based on the Star Wars expanded universe comprised of novels, comic books and video games.)

My last questions revolve around the new video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. How powerful was Galen Marek (Starkiller)? (SuperShadow: Darth Vader's secret apprentice was just average and ordinary. There's nothing important about the secret apprentice regarding Force potential.)

And how much time passed after Star Wars Episode 3 and the events of the video game take place? (SuperShadow: Lucas is not going to reveal specific time dates for Star Wars. There will be no official answer to this question.)

Hey Shadow, what's up? (SuperShadow: More blessings than I can handle. The reward of the righteous life.) I am wondering what the dead Jedi do all day long in the netherworld of the Force? (SuperShadow: Unknown. The Heavenly world is beyond our imagination.) I imagine it must get boring which is probably why they interfere with the living. (SuperShadow: It would be interesting to see what the good and evil gods do all day.)

I also think that Anakin Skywalker probably gets the evil eye from the other Jedi. (SuperShadow: We don't know whether the deceased Jedi can watch the living reality from the afterlife. Qui-Gon Jinn is the first deceased Jedi we know about who could contact those still alive.)

SS. Star Wars has a lot of meaning to it. Don't feel like naming them, but it does have meaning to it. Anyways, Anakin Skywalker always wanted to be a Jedi hence he's upset with it in The Phantom Menace. My question are there other reasons why Anakin turned to the dark side? (SuperShadow: This is possible. We can't view what goes on inside Anakin's mind.)

And also if Anakin had not turned and the Jedi Council found out that Anakin and Padme were married and had kids and Anakin decided to stay on the Jedi Council, when Luke Skywalker was old enough would Anakin have taught Luke the ways of the good side of the Force? (SuperShadow: No.) I will appreciate if you answered back. Peace out, SS. (SuperShadow: Forge the future.)

Hey SuperShadow, what's up. (SuperShadow: Accepting the grace and good fortune I so much deserve.) I have to admit if I lived in the Star Wars Universe and had Force powers, I would certainly turn to the dark side. The Sith are cool and powerful and the Jedi are weak. I would be a Sith. (SuperShadow: If Humans could have godlike powers like Superman, these Humans would most certainly be nefarious and malevolent. That's why none of us have special powers with the ability to control the world.)

Tuesday, February 3, 2009

Hey Supes, wicked web site. It's ***** from England. (SuperShadow: No one can pass the test. Not a single person. Too bad perhaps.) Just watched the last Star Wars The Clone Wars TV episode and whoa was I impressed. Aayla Secura, what a good looker even in cartoon form she is looking so hot and can she fight. (SuperShadow: There aren't enough female Jedi and Sith seen in Star Wars.)

I like how the new Clone Wars TV series is giving female Jedi major roles, but the one Jedi I long to see in action is Adi Gallia. She looked stunning when she sat on the Jedi Council in Star Wars Episode 1. Since then we've seen nothing of her, I also can't wait to see my favorite Jedi in action: Mace Windu. I thank you and Shadow for again bringing so much joy in our lives. (SuperShadow: Envy. Jealousy. Covetous. My existence as usual.)

I read the recent post where you said that Darth Vader blamed himself for Padme's death for the rest of his career as a Sith Lord. I was wondering if Vader blamed Obi-Wan as much or more than himself? I would think a Sith would rationalize the events on Mustafar to place all the blame on Obi-Wan. I know a re-make of A New Hope will never happen.

But it would have been great to see that rage in Vader when he slays his former master on the death star. (SuperShadow: Darth Vader faults Obi-Wan for ruining Vader's life. Vader believes that Obi-Wan is responsible for turning Padme against Vader, which is why Vader over reacted and Force choked Padme. Additionally, Vader loathes Obi-Wan for making Vader into a cybernetic machine, who is more mechanical than Human.)

All hail SS, master of every one and everything. (SuperShadow: She's been asleep for a thousand years it seems. Got to open her eyes to everything.) Just an idea why not have Anakin Skywalker be on a mission with Mace Windu in the Star Wars live action TV series and Mace and Anakin show up each other and Anakin finally fights General Grievous and kicks Grievous' ****. (SuperShadow: Nyet. Can't be actual. Now that she knows what's she without. I can't just leave her.)

Who was the first Jedi? (SuperShadow: The legendary Kaja Sinis was the first Jedi and founder of the Jedi Order.) And first Sith? (SuperShadow: Darth Scarz was the first Sith Lord. For a comprehensive and exhaustive revelation of these characters, read the History of the Jedi and Sith portion of SS.com.

It will shatter your perception of Star Wars. The genius of Lucas has literally no limits.) Does Darth Maul get his actual lower body reattached? Please say yes. (SuperShadow: No, not even. From the waist down, Maul becomes a cyborg monster like Darth Vader.)

Previously posted on SS.com: "Hey SS, is there anywhere I can view previous episodes of the new Star Wars The Clone Wars computer animated TV series?"

Yes, I believe they have them at the Clone Wars section of the Cartoon Network web site. Their site is pretty cool. (SuperShadow: Thanks for the info, but remember it is our duty to buy the new Clone Wars TV show on DVD when made available. Buy many copies so that you can distribute them to family and friends. One of your primary goals in life should be increasing the excessive profits of Lucasfilm. We owe it all to Lucas.)

Hello, SuperShadow. I need to ask you something. Who could win in a fight between Yoda vs. Darth Vader? Vader is the 2nd strongest Sith. And Yoda is the 2nd strongest Jedi. (SuperShadow: It depends when this light saber battle happens. If it takes place before Anakin Skywalker destroys the Sith Lords, then the will of the Force would prevent Yoda from killing Anakin. If Anakin annihilates the Sith, then Yoda could theoretically defeat Vader, but Vader wouldn't still be alive if he were a Sith when Anakin massacres Darth Sidious and the Sith Order, which includes Vader, of course.)

SS, will the Earth see December 22, 2012? One day after December 21, 2012 and the end of the world? (SuperShadow: My ingenious and never ending conspiracy has been planned in advance all the way to eight trillion A.D. This is why we need to surpass the technological singularity so that I can become a machine immortal thereby completing my grand scheme by existing trillions of years into the future. Technically speaking, the nightmare does end just not soon.)

Hey SS, have you noticed that whenever there is a light saber battle everyone always dies / loses in a bad way? For example, Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul, Maul doesn't even move and gets cut in half. (SuperShadow: Tres funny.) Count Dooku vs. Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 2, Anakin waits patiently for Dooku to cut off Anakin's out stretched arm. (SuperShadow: Again very humorous.)

A couple others as well. The fights are outstanding, but it seems nobody actually dies or out maneuvers their foe in "combat." With the exception of the Qui-Gon Jinn vs. Darth Maul battle. Thanks so much. (SuperShadow: You need to learn to appreciate the extremely eccentric sense of whimsy Lucas has.)

I have an idea, but I don't know if it's good enough. (SuperShadow: I'll wager all of Lucas' countless billions of U.S. dollars that this concept is brilliant above even Mount Olympus.) In the end of Star Wars Episode 6, many planets celebrated, not because they were free.

But because of the news that Darth Vader and Darth Sidious are now dead. (SuperShadow: It's not officially revealed in the Star Wars movies exactly what motivated the cheering at the end of Return of the Jedi. This merriment suggests the Empire collapsed instantaneously after the Battle of Endor, but this isn't true because the civil war between the remnants of the Empire vs. the Rebel Alliance continued a while longer.)

Yet those planets still remained under Imperial control. (SuperShadow: Agreed. The entire Imperial star fleet was NOT destroyed during Return of the Jedi.) Rebels, led by Luke and Leia Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian and others launch massive attacks on planets where most of the clones are located. (SuperShadow: These battles are not verified. If these events are not referenced in Star Wars Episode 7, 8 and 9, then we will never know for sure what happened between the Empire and the Rebels after Return of the Jedi. Only the Star Wars films and TV series count as the real vision of Lucas.)

SS, thanks for reading this brief message. I was looking at the DVD sets for both the Star Wars classic and prequel trilogy the other day. The prequel trilogy had Obi-Wan vs. Anakin Skywalker and the classics had Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader (from Cloud City, I believe). I thought that those scenes were chosen to represent each trilogy because they were the most important light saber battles from each one.

But are they? (SuperShadow: This is uncertain. The Mustafar light saber duel from Revenge of the Sith is the zenith of the Star Wars prequels where the mechanical Darth Vader is born. The Bespin Cloud City duel from The Empire Strikes Back is where the most shocking reveal of all time happens. To each his or her own, I guess.)

One could argue that Obi-Wan / Qui-Gon vs. Maul from The Phantom Menace is the most important because if Qui-Gon survives, perhaps Anakin never turns to the dark side of the Force. (SuperShadow: Fantastic argument. We can't fathom what happens with Qui-Gon surviving against Darth Maul.) In Revenge of the Sith, when Obi-Wan / Anakin vs. Count Dooku takes place, things would have ended completely different if Obi-Wan had been the one to defeat Dooku.

Dooku survives to spills the beans and Sidious is revealed as a Sith Lord. (SuperShadow: I have to concur with you. Obi-Wan would have not killed Dooku, who might have betrayed Darth Sidious when interrogated by the Jedi.)

Then the two climactic battles at the end of Revenge of the Sith. Yoda vs. Sidious would have stopped the Empire in its tracks had Yoda proved victorious, but it's not to say that perhaps Anakin wouldn't have felt through the Force that Sidious had been defeated and then Anakin decided to escape Obi-Wan and start his own Empire. (SuperShadow: Without the political and military genius of Sidious, it is doubtful Anakin could have established an Imperial government by himself.

You need to remember the Sith were basically helpless against the Jedi for a millennium and couldn't end freedom in the galaxy before Sidious rose to prominence. Without question, Sidious was the greatest mental strategist of all time. We can't over estimate how important the kyber crystal was to the Sith plans by allowing Sidious the awesome power to cloud the light side of the Force and weaken all the Jedi.)

I'm not inclined to go with the box cover fight of Obi-Wan vs. Anakin because Obi-Wan actually won the fight, but chose not to finish Anakin off. Either way, the dark side ended up winning that fight. (SuperShadow: Yes. This can't be disputed. However, the death of Vader on Mustafar wouldn't have ended the Sith. Yoda and Obi-Wan would need to vanquish Sidious somehow.)

And finally, I think the most important light saber battle from the classic trilogy is the Cloud City fight that pitted Luke vs. Darth Vader. The outcome of that fight gave Luke the knowledge that Vader was Luke's father and set Luke upon the course to change the fate of the Universe. (SuperShadow: Utmost pivotal.)

But the question remains, oh wise and mighty SS, which light saber battle from each Star Wars trilogy is the most important? Thanks again for reading this brief message. (SuperShadow: There is no definitive answer to this question because Lucas will always remain silent on this subject. Lucas is intensely fascinated with our endless speculation at SS.com. You can't comprehend how influential we are with Lucas.)

Lord Shadow, my problem is, I don't see how meeting extraterrestrials gives inner joy to the 70% of Americans who identify themselves as Christian. (SuperShadow: Sadly, the average Christian would probably view alien star beings as evil demonic manifestations. Some of the Native Indians of the Americas viewed the Europeans as their gods. These natives were absolutely wrong obviously.

If the beloved original inhabitants of the New World had slaughtered every European who arrived, then the natives might have postponed their destruction by several centuries. Ironically, the European invaders were much more demonic than any extraterrestrial could ever hope to be. Such is the living paradox of reality.)

I do like the idea of making the Soviets the new villains, because the Soviets are both communists and atheists. (SuperShadow: Not accurate. The average Russian citizen is religious.) Which means that in "Indiana Jones 5," there should be some Soviets we learn to care about who realize that being atheists won't get them very far in a world where the Ark of the Covenant contains such supernatural power. (SuperShadow: Yeah, the Indiana Jones movies promote the idea that some kind of mysterious Supreme Entity or Superior Entities are behind the powers of the Ark, sacred stones, Holy Grail and crystal skull. Star Wars also showcases the fact Lucas accepts a higher power called the Force.)

So will Ahsoka Tano be frozen in carbonite or something and Anakin Skywalker thinks General Grievous killed her, only to have her thaw out in Star Wars Part 7 in the Jedi Temple by Mace Windu? (SuperShadow: As history has fully proven, it's difficult to make the true gods angry enough for them to "nuke" your civilization. The character named Lot from the Holy Bible tried feverishly to delay doomsday for the wicked as long as possible. Eventually, you're out of time.)

Hey SS, I was wondering if you have ever thought about making a section of the SS web site that ranks Jedi / Sith by their light saber skills? (SuperShadow: Lucas has no interest in this.) I think it might shed some light on the subject such as how Mace Windu was able to take advantage of Darth Sidious in Star Wars Episode 3. (SuperShadow: Like most wishes in life, this can't become real.)

We all know Windu was not as powerful as Sidious, but perhaps Windu simply had superior light saber skills. (SuperShadow: This can't be known.) I would also be interested to know how Plo Koon ranked considering he was able to defeat Darth Rage. Please post. You dominate, Shad. (SuperShadow: My control of reality can be disputed by no mortal. Try to determine how I've influenced your life. The changes are too suttle for you to appreciate. If your past keeps changing, you would have no way to determine it.)

Dear SS, I think there should be a scene at some point in the Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show where Obi-Wan teaches or shows Anakin the advantage of the "high ground." (SuperShadow: Nice pretentiousness.) In Star Wars Episode 3, it always bothered me that Obi-Wan tells Anakin the fight is over because Obi-Wan has the high ground. (SuperShadow: Obi-Wan was attempting to trick Anakin. In his mind, Obi-Wan thought he had no hope to defeat the chosen one.)

The audience has no reason to believe that a Jedi, having as many abilities as Anakin does, could lose a fight because of a height disadvantage. Especially when just moments earlier, we see Yoda climb from the bottom of the senate chambers to the top while having Sidious hurling giant objects (not sure what they're called) at Yoda.

That being said, I think if there was a reason Obi-Wan had for telling Anakin that Obi-Wan won because of the "high ground," then that scene would become more meaningful and emotional for the audience. It would also serve as a way to show how the dark side of the Force can corrupt a person's judgment. In my opinion that would make it the greatest example of why light will prevail over dark. (SuperShadow: This has ample merit. Your astuteness will be forwarded to Lucas.)

Hi SS! It would be exciting to see how Luke Skywalker thinks about passing to the dark side. Luke could have his doubts (why his father passed?), but finally Luke would destroy it. (SuperShadow: Not possible. Luke is basically the Star Wars version of the messiah, which means temptation for wrong doing can never enter Luke's mind. To explain this further, Luke is holy and without fault.)

SS. If cloning was a huge factor in Star Wars, why didn't Darth Vader clone Padme? (SuperShadow: Excellent question. The cloning from Star Wars can't copy a person's memories. This denotes that Vader wouldn't clone a visual representation of Padme that isn't actually like the real Padme. Anyway, Sidious wouldn't have allowed Padme in Vader's life regardless of the situation.)

Well SuperShadow, the reason I suggested that Star Wars fans might be over saturated with too much Star Wars is because Lucas wants to produce 400 episodes of the Star Wars The Clone Wars computer animated TV series and having a live action Star Wars TV show on the way might be too consuming to the fans.

Doesn't Lucas want to create a different project instead? (SuperShadow: Lucas wants to create between 100 to 200 individual episodes of the new Clone Wars TV series. It will take multiple and different computer animated Star Wars TV shows to surpass the 400 episode threshold. It would take over ten years to make as many episodes as you suggest.)

So SuperShadow, let me get get this straight. George Lucas is going to hire only professional actors being contracted at a low budget salary for the live action Star Wars TV series and the live action TV series will only focus on minor characters and story elements from the Star Wars prequel trilogy? (SuperShadow: Each episode of the live action Star Wars TV series will be limited to a $ 2 million U.S. dollars budget. There is not enough money to hire well known actors or the professional actors, who portrayed the major Star Wars characters in the Star Wars prequels.)

Won't that cause the TV show to have low Nielsen TV ratings? (SuperShadow: There's nothing Lucas can do about this problem.) Other then Boba Fett being in the live action TV series, I really don't see the TV show doing well unless Lucas considers having some of the important characters like Darth Vader, young Luke Skywalker, young Princess Leia, Chewbacca, young Han Solo, young Lando Calrissian, C-3PO and R2-D2. (SuperShadow: Not gonna happen. None of the primary characters from the Star Wars classic trilogy will be featured in the live action Star Wars TV show.)

By the way, according to *******, producer Rick McCallum of Lucasfilm, Ltd. confirmed that George will have pod racing again in the TV series. Can you confirm this, SS? I would appreciate it. (SuperShadow: Lucas won't allow SS.com to reveal plot script spoilers about the live action TV series until early 2010.)

SS, what if the scenario was different from Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace to Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi relevant to Darth Vader? If Darth Vader was around in Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace during the times of the Trade Federation, but before the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War with the Galactic Empire and it was Darth Vader instead of Darth Maul, how would have the story played out, by Lucas under the situation? (SuperShadow: Ingenious suggestion.

If Darth Vader remained as Anakin Skywalker and if Anakin was still the most important focus of the Star Wars saga, then Vader would have been the Sith apprentice for the entire duration of the films from Star Wars Episode 1 to Star Wars Episode 6. If not, the whole story about Anakin's rise, fall and redemption would be radically changed.)

SuperShadow in the house! (SuperShadow: More endless envy. You gotta love it.) Just another thought for you. As you and Lucas stated many times that the Sith Order is no more, but they're still Sith around the galaxy and will make an appearance in Star Wars Episodes 7 - 9, I understand that the few surviving Sith giving up their order.

But what's going to stop them from rebuilding the Sith Order and make it more powerful then ever before? (SuperShadow: The Sith Order can't exist without the secret knowledge of the Sith. Darth Sidious was the only Sith, who knew everything about the Sith religion, culture and ways of the dark side of the Force. The surviving Sith like Darth Maul and Darth Bane didn't have the Sith holocrons, which contained the hidden mysteries of the Sith. Without this info, the true Sith Order can NEVER be reformed.)

Kind of like the way Luke Skywalker did with the Jedi Order. (SuperShadow: Luke had possession of the ancient Jedi holocrons, which contained all of the knowledge and secrets of the Jedi Order. Yoda and Obi-Wan hid these Jedi holocrons and instructed Luke where to find them.)

All it takes for one of the most powerful Sith of all time (Darth Bane) to regroup with surviving Sith (Darth Maul or anyone else out there that is still alive) to come to an agreement. (SuperShadow: Not that easy. Lucas says the Sith Order doesn't exist after Return of the Jedi. End of argument unless you challenge the supreme authority of Lucas, who is our unquestioned master.)

Darth Bane could find Darth Sidious' kyber crystal and holocron and learn from Sidious' mistakes and lead the Sith to rule the galaxy once again. (SuperShadow: Lucas says "no.") Bane with a kyber crystal would be the ultimate test for Luke in Force power and a light saber fight. (SuperShadow: Bane can't locate a kyber crystal.)

I know you and Lucas like to follow the "traditions" he set for Star Wars and you guys try to stick to the "Star Wars plot formula," but it's also rewarding to be a rebel and try something different. (SuperShadow: Your concepts are what Star Wars fan fiction is for. If you have heretical ideas about Star Wars, then write some fan fic. Nobody will ever read your stories, but you can write them for yourself.)

It paid off when Lucas created A New Hope and made a super fan his best friend and shared all aspects of Star Wars with. It's the 12th round of the mega fight and we need SuperShadow to deliver the knock out. (SuperShadow: The greatest military strategist of all time NEVER allows the fight to happen. The adversary lost 14 billion years ago when the Universe was created.)

Lord Shadow, I was disappointed that our new President continued the tradition of a parade that went through Washington, DC. (SuperShadow: During these dreadfully difficult times, our traditions are important. There is no guarantee that the United States will be around for elections in 2012. You have to be realistic about threats we can't anticipate.)

So many poor people slept on the street in order to have a good place to watch the President drive past, and the temperature was below freezing. I saw a photo of George wearing Arctic Explorer gear, and he didn't sleep outside all night. (SuperShadow: The American Indians were confident about the continued existence of their civilization. When a technologically superior society meets a more primitive community, the less advanced civilization rarely survives first contact.

If the Christians of Europe would not show mercy to the native population of the Western hemisphere (both Human and Buffalo), then what can you expect from encountering a godlike species of mega imperialistic extraterrestrials? We should have shown mercy and compassion hundreds of years ago because the gods of the American Indians could really exist.)

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" spent the whole movie building our anticipation of what would happen when the Ark was opened. "The Last Templar" promised us a treasure of jewels and gold beyond imagination, and then gave us ten pages of ancient papyrus. Big let-down. If you promise the cross of Jesus, can you deliver something that exceeds their expectations? (SuperShadow: It's not realistic for Lucas and I to think we can satisfy the fans. There's nothing we can do to get 100 percent acceptance from everyone. All and all, you have to follow your artistic vision. If we're happy, then that's all that matters.)

Dear Sir: My name is *** ****, 24 years old, an Egyptian woman. Was graduate from business school back in 2005. I'm a young writer and I wrote a story, screenplay, about ancient Egyptian goddess. It's a story about love, passion, beauty, faithful, betrayal, good, evil, tears, pain, death and revenge. (SuperShadow: That describes all mythological stories.)

It's not just a story it's a legend. A legend about life itself. I wrote this screenplay with my heart, not just my pen. I dream about a great movie and such a movie needs a great production, which is I will not find in Egypt. I need a great company like yours. (SuperShadow: Currently, Lucasfilm only finances films and TV series based on the original ideas of Lucas. Persist in your dreams until the end of time. The attempt is more important than the actual accomplishment.)
