They probably didn't think he was anything but another digger. Belloq saw several at the site. The only reason they had Sallah on his knees was to keep him quiet until Indie came up. After that, they likely didn't care because what would a "dirty Arab" know. Which proved how little they knew.
All metaphors are poor. The point is that the existence of lesser skilled force users does not cheapen or denigrate Luke's story.
You are free to disagree. This is not a point that can be "proven." Your opinion is as valid as mine. Which doesn't mean I won't debate. However, I think this one has played out.
Peacock and Bee were two of our favorites from the beginning. We thought they were easily the best.
It took some time to figure out lion, but peacock was pretty clear earliy on. The rainbows and long wig pegged him to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat; which meant Donnie Osmond. (Yeah, other people played Joseph, but Donnie is the one most associated with the traveling show and the DVD release.)
Before.
I disagree. I think T-pain is talented. But compared to Gladys and Donnie; no.
We will have to agree to disagree. To craft an incomplete metaphor (as they always are) I don't believe the existence of high-school football players diminishes the role or importance of the professional football star.
And he is one of the few who didn't get it.
1. The title: Predator.
2. That it only kills humans with weapons. As Dutch says, no sport.
3. Anna identifies it. In the hottest years it comes. She gives it a native name and then translates it: "That which makes trophies of men." (I may have the exact translation off since I haven't watched it in a year or so)
4. The scene showing it polishing the skull.
Everything points to it being a hunter. How Roger Ebert didn't see it I don't know. However, given many reviewers antipathy to SF and action films it doesn't overly surprise me that he wasn't really paying attention or refused to put together the clues because, well those types of films are "stupid."
Because they wanted it two years later. Whether he's nine, ten or eleven is irrelevant. Actors act. They do not need to be identical to the characters they play.
Not at all. Luke is supposed to be very powerful. As the son of Anakin (now Vader) he would be in the top tier of force users. Scores, hundreds, of other force users could be around, but be no match for Vader, let alone the Emperor. And they would have no connection to Vader; which I interpreted as part of the reason Luke was needed. (And why Leia might have been able to take his place. Yes, I know the "there is another" wasn't originally supposed to refer to her.)
We know there are still force users around. Chirrut Îmwe in Rogue One is one example; a weak user, but still a user. (And yes, I know he came much later. But I'm looking at the whole series.)
Ultimately, I don't see any logical reason why force users would stop being born. But without the Jedi set up to train them, and the Sith tendency to only allow two, they are either ineffective or, possibly, killed off if the Empire finds them.
>>>"The Jedi are extinct. Their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion".<<<
Why would you think Tarkin's words are the definitive word on the subject?
No offense, but the ship is "Excelsior."
I cannot disagree. I love the show, but sometimes the choices the audience make are bizarre to me. See last year wear T-Pain beat Donny Osmond and Gladys Knight.
Yes, in an episode of Enterprise. I can't recall all the details, so I won't try to explain it; but it was addressed.
With this I agree.
By C. S. Lewis
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
Your concerns seem far more immature to me than adults liking comic books and teddy bears.
I would disagree. With the powers Superman possess, learning fighting skills might be considered redundant. Would you use boxing to stave off a toddler? The differential in strength and resilience between Superman and a normal human is likely more than a thousand times the differential between an adult and a toddler.
He also has no experience with pain. The very shock of the first punch could paralyze him.
I had never thought about it, but that makes a lot of sense.
I know you do not understand, but saying its fiction is not an excuse for violating the world that has been created. Indeed, violating those rules (which the author or authors have set up) is a mark of BAD FICTION!!.
Thinking you can do anything is a mark of a BAD WRITER!
Again, go take a course. It might open your mind.
Thanks. I don't always succeed, but I try.
If that is all it was intended as, I apologize.
I see all too many posts that object to a particular actor because they are too old or too young or some other thing. Often it is just, well this character is supposed to be 22 and this actor is 29. Why didn't they cast a 22 year old. Or this actor plays the father of a 18 year old and he's only 37! Why!
Amusing anecdotes and observations are fine. But with so many objections for minuscule or insignificant reasons it is often hard to tell.
