Whats up with the limbs?

Seriously, there should be a club called "Star Wars: Lost Limb Club". Cause Episode 1-6 had lost limbs!(Like NOOOOO in 1-6 Episode)

Phantom Menace- Darth Maul cut in half
Clones- Anakin losing arm
ROTS- Anakin losing his legs
New Hope- The alien in the bar loses arm to Obi-Wan Losernobi
Empire Strikes Back!- Luke loses hand
Return Of the Jedi- Darth Vader loses hand.

There wasn't one in ANH, I don't think....and I saw it the other day.

I remembered!

Oh yeah. Well he wasn't a force user. All the other ones that got the limbs cut off were force users.

Still...whats up with the limbs? Im officially making a SEVERED LIMBS OF STAR WARS CLUB!!

Okay then, it's official. Amputation is George Lucas' fetish.

How many kinds of wounds do you think a SLASHING motion with a LIGHTSABER will leave?

That's like you're surprised there's so many gunshot wounds in a shootout or warzone. Shut the f*ck up.

Don't forget the poor Wampa.

And since we are in Eu, I always wondered because of that limb thing if Rain/Zannah and Darovit were skywalker progenitors.

Oh, didn't know that your torso was a limb 🙄

what about dooku's dismemberment and decapitation?? did you notice that? 🙄

Well, dismemberment is considered honorable among the Jedi. It shows that the duelist can inflict the minimal physical damage to end a conflict. Cutting off hands, arms, or destroying the enemy's saber was the choice of the Jedi, while cutting off heads or torsoes was a more dark side trend.

Using a lightsaber at all is a moral failing on behalf of the jedi, when you think about it. For being the ultimate good force in GL's galaxy, you would think they would advocate the notion of total pacifism. Just a thought...

But then...who would listen to them?

Probably no one, but by advocating violence as a means to an end, the jedi somewhat vaguely adhere to Tarkin's infamous "Rule by fear of force rather than force itself".

^^ Exacly. That is why the Jedi Order will NEVER be completely passive. They must use violence. It's lke the popular saying "To maintain peace, we must prepare for war."

Yep. A flaw of sorts in the Jedi Order that was exploited by Sidious.

Besides, if the Jedi weren't violent, we wouldn't have anything cool to watch. 😛

*LUKE flies up on the Death Star Trench*

BEN: Use the Force, Luke! Kill all those Imperials on the Death Star! Kill that defenseless fart, Tarkin!

LUKE: No, it's not the Jedi way!

*DEATH STAR blows up YAVIN IV and ENDS REBELLION*

lol... That's the downside to being moral and pacifist... You cannot match aggression with aggression. The movie -would- be very boring, unless Jedi mastered the Force to end conflicts in non-aggresive ways, likc imprisoning Sith foes, mindwiping enemies, or even using the Force to shut down the Death Star.

you saw how weak they were in the prequals WITH sabers!!

can you imagine??
