return of the post

Published Saturday, May 21, 2005 by anish | E-mail this post

Although i originally envisioned posts on marathi , hindi & english soap opera's, that is now a lost cause. I suffered enough while watching the one marathi soap mentioned in my previous post(FYI, the soap was 'bhagyavidhata') and cant, for the life of me; sit through some of the gruelling hindi charades.The less said about english soaps, the better... So for know, those posts are abandoned.

I do say that return of the sith deserves a post. The culmination of George Lucas's epic works or something along those lines... Here's some peculiar things I noticed in the movie :

1. Disability does not exist in the Star Wars galaxy. Lose a hand, get a metal one; have your feet chopped and your skin burned off, get more metal ones and a plastic skin; have your whole body destroyed and get your mind and heart transferred into an android....
2. Jedi really should carry an extra hand around. Current list of people who get their hand cut off includes Anakin Skywalker, Count Dooku,General Grievous,Mace Windu and Luke Skywalker. Want more ?
3. You can travel across the galaxy in seconds, but you cant have interference free communication.
4. There is no anasthesia.
5. 3-CPO uses the tagline human-cyborg relations. When did the people fom planet earth get involved in this ?
6. Jedi are blind. The force does nothing but give them vague shudders down their spine. Obi-wan has a bad feeling about everything !
7. Is it light sabers or laser swords ??
