Star Wars VII-IX, what do you think?

[BlaneckW]

Why do you assume a dusty, dangerous, out-of-the-way hellhole is a bad place to train Jedi?

Because even if you have the time and advisability to send advanced trainees there it would be too out of the way for a central base of operations, which is why the academy was on Coruscant in the prequels.

Starwars nerdom rumor is the excalisaber is not a cross-hilt, but rather exhaust for an unstable longer blade, noting the sparking effect the thing gives off.

I don't care!
I'd love me one of them portable plasma cutters!

That was rather awesome!

Hopefully, if there's any flaws in the film, they can fix it in the Lego version.

I'm seeing all kinds of variations on that weird lightsaber. Somebody on another forum made one that either looks like an Advent tree or a hot dog stick that can roast a whole package at once.

How about a rabbi with a light saber minora ?

How about a rabbi with a light saber minora ?

Doesn't work; a proper menorah uses actual flame, not whatever's in a lightsaber.  (Sometimes synagogues put up electric menorahs as well, but those don't count as more than a public display*.)

*Which, admittedly, is a major component of the whole idea of the menorah: To publicly display and therefore advertise the events surrounding Chanukah.  But that's the only part that can be done with an electric one.

-Lucas has certainly done things no more racially tone-deaf than a Jedi Rabbi stabbing Sith seven at a time.

Somebody on TrekBBS has an avatar of Han Solo wielding a menorah instead of a blaster.

That reminds me...

He doesn't really seem the type..."hokey religion" could have been the catchphrase of the bad guys in the Chanukkah story.
