Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted July 18, 2017 I don't think it's going to be smart to be Jedi anything. I think the entire point of the next movie is going to be putting an end to the Jedi because its rigid stoicism keeps pushing people toward evil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrueMagicFan07 671 Report post Posted July 18, 2017 You guys are really overreacting to the topic of this thread. I Used the topic as an attention getter. I even included a list of other suggested nicknames. But some of you jumped all over the "Jedi" part. Lighten up fellas and let's move on from the Jedi controversy. Btw, Catalina Maria, I'm a female . SORRY!!!_I KID... I couldn't help myself. Just having fun. :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted July 19, 2017 1. Why did they call Julius Ervin "Dr. J" - He's not a doctor. 2. Why did they call George Gervin "The Ice Man" - He delivered, but not ice. 3. Why did they call Earvin Johnson "Magic" - He did not perform on stage pulling rabbits out of a hat. 4. Why did they call Shaquille O'neal and Dwight Howard "Superman" - Neither could fly above the clouds. 5. Why did they call Chris Anderson "Birdman" - Does he look like a bird? 6. Jackie Robinson had several nicknames - Including: "Dark Destroyer" and "J-Rob" 7. Why did they call Darryl Dawkins "Chocolate Thunder" - (Rest In Peace) - Btw, Stevie Wonder gave him that nickname Many of the sportscasters referred to these athletes by their nicknames. It's been a tradition for ages. IDK - I guess I'm just bored--Carry on! TMF, bringing the heat! Lol. Love it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the entire point of the next movie is going to be putting an end to the Jedi because its rigid stoicism keeps pushing people toward evil. Does it really keep pushing people toward evil, though? I think you are correct this will be the general idea of the plot, but I'm not sure it is accurate In the prequels, there were way more Jedi than Sith, and AFAIK Anakin is the only one who actually went from good to bad. In the original trilogy Luke was the only new Jedi and he remained good. Sure, we don't really know what Kylo's backstory is, and there are allusions to him being a student of Luke's and then turning bad, but I just don't think the data is there to back up the claim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, adolescents can thrive with that type of structure. But then they become teenagers and hormonal and passionate about things and the Jedi Order pushes back on that behavior. There's no room for passion or selfishness or fear or sadness. So you get a situation where the sith can come in and exploit the contradiction of the jedi teachings vs real world experiences. They can appeal to those more human emotions then slowly corrupt them into a more hateful person. So the Jedi needs to end and a new, more moderate, more forgiving force religion needs to take it's place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
