Re: ..........
Darth Bane would have been my choice and before you say it I know he is dead. I see Tyranus as being huge. About 8ft tall and well built but not very bright. I think he will be CGI but I hope he isn't.

The one thing that I hope for is that
1: He is cooler than Darth Maul (which would be quite a challenge for Lucasfilm)
2: He is in more scenes than Darth Maul was (which shouldn't be much of a challenge for Lucasfilm)

Darth Tyranus
I agree with you on both of your points DD. Being cooler than Darth Maul will be hard to pull off, but Lucas can do it. And more air time is definetly needed, at least to prove he is a bad mother you know what.

Yep I agree. Hmmm, I thought it took 50 posts to loose your Padawan status. You should be a Jedi Knight by now.

I don't think he or she has to be cooler than Maul because I think Tyranus will just be a character to fill in time until we get Anakin. Is Tyranus how you spell the dinosaur?

No that's Tyrannosaurus Rex you're thinking of. Living during the late Jurassic Period, this living monster was the largest of known predatorial Dinosaurs. Moving on its large hind legs, its small arms were small and weak compared to the rest of its body, although studies have suggested that they were actually stronger than the arms of a human.
Hunting its prey in large fern valleys, a T-Rex as it is sometimes called, would hunt by spiralling around in a circle, getting closer and closer towards its food. This technique is very similar to that of a Tiger and a T-Rex could run at speeds up to 40 miles per hour.
All of this has absolutely NOTHING to do with Darth Tyranus, but I thought you might be interested in the history of the dinosaurs.

Re: Darth Dinosaur?
Actually, if you studied your dinosaurs more closely you'll learn that, T-Rex is NOT the largest carnosaur (though it's still got the biggest teeth). Giganotosaurus is a few feet longer (a fairly recent discovery) and a even newer discovered carnosaur who has a Souh American name is even larger than Giganotosaurus and T-Rex. Also the T-Rex lived in the Cretaceous period of the Mezoic Era, not the Jurassic period. Perhaps Darth Tyranus should be named Darth Dinosaur instead? Ha-Ha-Ha. Enjoy learning some new info on dinosaurs. Cheers!

Re: Darth Dinosaur?
Yes I was guessing most of that stuff. I did actually know that there had been predator dinosaurs discovered that were larger than it, but I didn't think anyone would notice if I lied. You obviously know your stuff Darth Heinous (well, about Dinosaurs anyway)

Re: Darth Dinosaur?
Yeah is Steven Speilberg involved again or is there a completely different crew?

Darth Tyranus
Its a whole new crew, Michael Cricton(SP?) didn't even write the book, but they do have the character Alan Grant returning. Back to the subject, I heard the rumor that Christopher Lee's character (Count Dooku) will be trained in the Sith arts(The guy using two lightsabers). Is there any validity to this rumor, or does everyboy think he will still be a senator?

I still think he will be a Dark Jedi. But I've also heard that Count Dooku is Darth Tyranus.

I think we should see thousands of Dark Jedi fighting in a war against the Jedi.

Re: The Great Schism . . .
Perhaps the next Tales Of The Jedi will be about The Great Schism (about 11,500 years before Episode 4). That's when thousands of Dark Jedi get kicked out of the (Old) Republic and they join up with the orginal Dark Lord of the Sith (his name is unknown).

Re: The Great Schism . . .
Is the original dark lord of the Sith Darth Bane? Sorry, my knowledge of outside the films is very limited.

Re: The Great Schism . . .
Tyranus does sound too trekky. Maul was okay, but Vader was so...UNEARTHLY. The two syllable name had finality about it. Darth VA-DER. Boom. Hey, don't mess with this guy. You go beyond 3 syllables and the guy will slice you up with his saber before you get it all out. "Hey look, Obi-Wan, its Darth wahinibookybooky.." and you're in two pieces before you get the rest of it out. It can't be a common name. Ben was a common name, Luke a little less so, and Han is practically unheard of as well as Leia. I'm obviously speaking only of humans here. Vader being the original Darth is a hard act to follow. The name is so ingrained into the fans brains. At least this fans.

Re: The Great Schism . . .
I agree with that but I still like Sidious as a name even though it's longer.

Re: The Great Schism . . .
I realised that if you put "IN" in front of Vader and Sidious it makes invader and insidious, both real words. I know Maul doesn't work like that, but still perhaps the new Sith Lord will have a name with the same characteristics.

Vader is the Dutch word for father.
