[QUOTE="Remus Lupin, post: 6160236, member: 12760"] Morrus, apparently the only scenes you ever saw of Jedi in Star Wars were those featuring Mace Windu. And if that's the case, I guess I can see your perspective. But if you've seen all six movies in their entirety and you [I]don't[/I] think that the Jedi are a) not all about Drizzt with Purple Light Sabers b) deeply rooted in an interesting amalgam of the warrior/monk archetype and c) really the only genuinely distinctive thing that Star Wars has that other Space Operas don't, then I think you've missed out on most of what's interesting about the Jedi. But since you're so insistent that there is more to Star Wars then that which is unique, by all means, I'd like to hear it. EDIT: Ah, I see you answered it above. And again I'll note that [I]all of those things are great[/I], but really, most have an established placed in prior Space Opera (which Star Wars totally didn't establish, but did update). I mean, the Rancor? The Rancor is awesome, but just another variety on "giant ravenous monster." X-Wings, Tie Fighters? Just variants on "space ship battle" combined with WWII flying ace movie. Those are all cool and interesting, but not distinct. [/QUOTE]
