    So what are Jedi powers and how are they useful, levitation, precognition, gymnastic skills, hypnotism and generating electricity.
    Now these are useful traits to have whist’s running around light sabering bad guys but how can they also be useful in ordinary life?
    Like if you were a Jedi you’d never need to get up to get the TV remote ever again, in my lazier moments I actually try to see if I can levitate it over to me, I usually give up and watch whatever crap is on that channel anyway.

    The jedi seemed to have some sort of taboo against using their powers for "regular" stuff. There was that scene in attack of the clones where Anakin used the force to grab an apple from a bowl that was slightly out of reach, and commented that Obiwan wouldn't approve. It's probably just part of their general stuffiness.

    I'm not sure if Jedi ever get married, but it sure would be sweet to use the force in an argument with your wife.

    Wife: You watch to much football!!

    Jedi: (does the jedi hand wave) You like me to watch football.

    Wife: I like you to watch football.

    That would probably only work until she started to do the dishes and noticed she didn't like it. At best, you might be able to trick her into thinking that she used to like to do the dishes. The illusion usually fails if the person is confronted with contrary evidence.

    How about using the Dark Side to cook roast chicken? Or would that spoil the taste?:shrug:

    I think because supposedly they then turn to the dark side of the force. although too much good results in a shift to the bad anyway.... :shrug:

    I'd be a sith for sure. The emperor is always laughing away; he seems like a jolly guy... real fun to be around, ya know? Plus I doubt the dark side is too strict on pointless force tricks. I'd be doing bar tricks and pickin' up ladies all day.

    Not all day...with the Sith there can be only two, the master and her husband.

    Judging by what's shown in the movies, we would probably all end up Sith sooner or later.

    Technically, you have to be part of the Sith Order to be Sith. Asajj Ventress was a Dark Side user, but she was a Dark Jedi due to the fact that Dooku would never initiate her into the Order as she lacked particular characteristics that made one a Sith. Relating to that statement you made though, we "would" all be dark-siders but not neccesarily Sith.

    err he couldnt, there can only be 2 sith, master and aprentice. There for she COULDNT be a sith (nor could vader's aprentice) because that would mean there were 3 sith

    I think they were just trying to say that Sith usually operate in master/apprentice pairs. That doesn't mean that there couldn't be multiple pairs of Sith running around, or that you can't have lone Sith who are missing a master or apprentice (perhaps because one got pissed off and killed the other).

    No, the Sith were reduced to two or to one at any given time starting with Darth Bane (who learned the rule of two from Darth Revan's holocron on Lehore. The reason there could only be two and not multiple pairs, is that the Sith spend most of their time pre-Bane trying to kill each other as much as the Jedi, so the only manageable system (given the need to pass the traditions along) is to limit your competitors to just one other person in a clearly defined power structure, knowing that the apprentice would eventually kill the master).

    It was suggested that Palpatine hoped to break the "rule of two" by either rediscovering Darth Plagueis's life extension techniques and becoming immortal or using clone bodies. If immortal there would be no need for an apprentice, so he could then bump off Vader.

    They are the consequence of a giant collasity in space; you fall into a black hole one time and you're a jedi, and can see things for what they truelly are. If you couldn't implicit, it wouldn't been real. Sith are how you look like after having being real for an infinity. They are the highest rank of warrior, but my friend, an infinity can never pass in a black hole for a real mind. So sith's are infact a manifestation of space after living for an infinity in a black hole, their form get's out, but their being wanders in their past, striving for eternity in their soul. That's why their form may be very grim, from time to time.
    They are not something you want to be. I think definitely not the place to be.

    Anyway, to get out you must first become 0, so it's a bit hard to get out. But if you do, I suppose you grow up to be as dimensional as inside.

    Questions? Answers?
