quote from somewhere, its cannon, i just pulled it out of the rusty vault of my mind and spat it on the keyboard, so i dont remember where it came from. I think it was a comic: "It is well known that the darkside lends power [etc]" notice the word "lends"? I suppose that the darkside doesnt let you keep this power.

WHAT THE HELL'S AN ALLUMINUM FALCON?!?!?
According to the rules set out for the Star Wars sections here on KMC, you really don't have any right to do such a thing. Unless you are secretly George Lucas in disguise and have changed your mind on what means what in Star Wars, then you really don't have a say on what is what.
And he did not write the movies solely for children. The Empire Strikes Back is hardly intended for young children.
There are two very distinctly defined sides to Star Wars: Good and Bad. The Light Side, the Jedi, the Rebels, versus the Dark Side, the Empire, the Sith. There are no areas of moral grays where people ride the fine line between the two extremes. That only shows up with the Potentium theory during the New Jedi Order books, and even then it is considered a heretical theory.
If moral absolutes are not enough along with Ewoks beating the Empire, how about the fact that it is pure science fantasy as opposed to hard science fiction?
Let me guess. You are going to disagree?
Eventually lock the thread?
This is why mod's should not get involved in these threads.
If you take the approach of 'insulting the moderator' then it will be locked, yes. Moderators are people too and we can discuss whatever the hell we feel like.
I don't disagree with the fact that it is science fantasy in the least. It was the moral gray I was more concerned with.
The matrix lacks loyal greys, is it for children?
Equilibrium? for children?
LOTR trilogy? clearly made for children?
thats a ridiculous statement, sorry but it is.
The lack of a moral grey is intended for the child so long as the viewer has the capacity of one. You seem to be under the impression that if a piece of work focuses on the extremes, thereby denying the possibility of interpretation (a VERY adult thing apparently), then it is only meant for the children. How many pieces of fiction, or not, have had definitive black and white? A lot. And a lot of them include very unchildlike themes; war, murder, sex etc.
Is it so impossible to accept that an adult film can be morally inflexible? Only someone with a child's emotional state would answer "yes."

If my thread continues off topic in this manner I will cease being a happy sith.
I am now a disgruntled sith!
To your questions;
I do not watch other movies. I was put off after going to the cinema to see the second matrix flick. It was awful! The fight scenes were OTT and I found myself constantly looking at my watch through the film.
Very poor work.
Gideon;
Kind regards.
I suggest that you teach your apprentice some manners.
Now, down to business.
From these words forward this thread will be a discussion about Darth Maul and Count Dooku.
Failure to comply will force me to abandon this thread completely.
