Harry Potter Magic versus the Force (Army thread).....

Has everyone stopped recently to revel in this bastion of nerdiness?

I hate to reference the prequels in my arguments, but Jorge basically killed the idea that the force governs the universe. As it comes from microscopic organisms.

The organisms are merely physical level agents of the force...and/or interfaces for lving beings... Yoda's definition still holds.

*Beats Omg with Gimmer stick*

'Always with you what cannot be done....hear you nothing that I say....?' 😛

So I think the two facts aren't neccessarily mutually exclusive of each other.

Qui-Gon also spoke about how the midichlorians are what tell Jedi about the Force's will, not that the midichlorians were the Force itself. It was still pretty gay that they included a biological component to expedite a mystical energy field. It's like priests in Catholicism saying they were the means by which one accesses God--except now they have lightsabers and can do wicked flips and shit.

I agree. That sucked.
Over explaining it was the crime, I feel.

Leaving the mechanisms unexplained allowed a cool air of mystery...
But all it did was explain what Midichloreans were and didnt go all the way in saying "Thats all it was folks"...

Not when success was attained the first time.

It can have all the mind it wants, but if its made of force, (which it would have to be to be present in this battle) then its subject to the will of the living force.

You really should get round to knowing even the basics of SW, in the future. 🙂

"From a certain point of view."

IE: The EWOKS certainly thought it was magic.

Ewok magic, dude.

Fun fact: Ewok's can in fact, do magic.

Isn't the EU fun?

And they 'recognised' and bowed to C-3PO's god magic power. (on screen canon)

Cry on, RJ... Cry on..... Cry your salty tears of wizard defeat fury.
😛

So it's settled, Ewoks > Hogwarts. /thread

Ewoks were fooled, not Wizards. Nice try, though.

Wizards apparate, go intangible, cast fiendfyre, Jedi burn.

Who says they're not fooled.

How exactly will they know whats going on..?

So all you got is "The wizards run away and casta spell that the Force army will likely be able to deal with"..?

😮‍💨

Anyone with an IQ higher than 3.

OP. And common sense.

It's cool, the battleground is Manhattan.

Well that rules YOU out. 🙂

Nah.

But they will be felt, precogged and killed.

Sure, killed from across a city. Not gonna happen. How? Wait, lemmee guess, force choke!!!

Not gonna happen when the wizards go intangible. Not in a million years. See, Voldemort can go intangible, fly, and cast death spells at the same time. Cool stuff.

Sure. Why not. Or how about explosive charges at the places where precogging determins they'll go to..?

If they're intangible, then the Jedi have nothing to worry about.

Jedi don't use explosives. Try again.

Except the fiendfyre and death spells that'll be flying at them.

Luke begs to differ.

Anakin used blasters.
