Padawan Braids & Jedi Training... - Page 4 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

A Sith shall not spam. A Sith shall hack into all boards and change everything into the same colour, or into russian characters, or even into Welsh.

A Jedi shall post meaningful comments, whilst putting in throwaway trueisms and jingles which sound good but have no real meaning and use a lot of smilies

...Was that what I was remembering?

Spam is the way to the dark side, Spam leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering...

I sense much spam in you

In... me? Oh damn, I better give up the braid and see if I can trade in my training-bots for a set of nifty black robes eh? No padawanship *sniff*

joking Skippy.....

I just thought it sounded funny. I wonder are those braids compulsory, and if Mace Windu ever had one

Skip · 26th July 2002, 10:58 PM

I think they were ad you made em longer with time... LOL Mace'd have to glue one on or something! And what about non-human padawans?

Tabitha · 26th July 2002, 11:28 PM

I just had a vision of Samuel Jackson as one of those hairdresser dolls, where you can pull the ponytail further and further out and make new hairstyles and stuff.

:errrr: feeling quite disturbed with the image too...

*feels ill* No, but I could see them making it and selling them in the shops. Why wasn't there a 'cut n gro' Obi, eh? *shudders* Its all part of stripping you of your identity, eh?

Don't anyone tell George Lucas about this thread, I can just imagine the dollar signs lighting up his eyes

If the braid gets longer as you get older/more experienced, then surely it is a bit silly - it will give away to opponents just how skilled you are.

Its what GL said on a behind the scenes thing during TPM production.

Technically speaking, how many padawans would be going into situations that hostile unless fully trained?

Tabitha · 27th July 2002, 12:30 AM

That's an interesting question - In TPM Obi Wan was almost ready to be a proper Jedi, so maybe that doesn't count, but in AOTC how close is Anakin to graduating? Giving him the assignment to look after Amidala was potentially dangerous (although admittedly he makes it moreso, against orders), so I wonder at what point padawans are cleared for dangerous activity.
Wouldn't it be a waste of the master's ability and talents to keep them away from the dangerous stuff because their padawan is too inexperienced and young?

Say the Master was needed on an important mission on planet X, you could send them on a cover operation, say, and whilst the padawan was involved in the cover, or even a real, but less important mission, the master would have time to work on more than one thing and train them?

Palpatine says they've only just cleared Ani for that duty, doesn't he in AOTC?

Any one interested in undertaking light jedi training at all?

Tokyo already has & I'm her master since I'm a Jedi Lord
