[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9783258, member: 7808"] On the one hand, I want to say that we should get away from turning yet another thread into a debate about Star Wars, and we should return to my personally preferred pedantry of arguing about what is or what is not sci-fi. On the other hand, the overwhelming focus on Star Wars in this thread is res ipsa loquitur evidence that it's science fiction. So, carry on. :p And on that note: Obi-Wan also chopped off a dude's arm in a bar fight. Obi-Wan didn't start that fight, but he sure escalated it pretty quickly. Too bad the Jedi don't have any non-lethal combat skills, or that the Force doesn't have any way of calming the emotions of the weak-minded. Also, for perspective, Obi-Wan was 57 in A New Hope.
