yerssot
What happend to him?
I heard a cool line with him:

"My name is Legion, because I am many"

Ushgarak
Hang on, where is this coming from?

BTW, that's a Biblical quote.

yerssot
aldera.net or another one. Don't know, I'll see and yes I know that's from the Bible, that's what was there in the explanation.

Ushgarak
So unlikey to be used in Star Wars, yeah?

Ratcat
Darth Legios is another of those Fan Created Urban Myth type rumours. It will never happen.

yerssot
shame! I think that line is cool!

Ratcat
IT probably was when it was written however many 100's of years ago...

yerssot
so he isn't in it? maybe in EpIII???

Ushgarak
Now, you KNOW he won't be yerssot... stop foolng yourself...

yerssot
I just want that ONE line in EpIII!

Ratcat
Oh sheesh!

queeq
Let him dream on.... YES, yers, I just talked to GL on the phone and he confirmed to me that Darth Legion WILL be in Episode 3. He'll be sending you an autographed pic of him withing a week.

Ratcat
*sigh*

Better send that one off to AICN... laughing out loud

queeq
AICN?

Ushgarak
Hang on, queeq. Gl's ex-directory.

Hey! You made all that up!

Ratcat
Ain't it Cool News, home of all the bogus Episode-II spy reports,

Dim
Yeah, Harry will love this one..

queeq
Harry?

Dim
Harry Knowles. The guy who runs AICN

yerssot
darn it! I really wanted that one phrase in the movie!

Ushgarak
Why do you want Biblical quotes in the movie?

yerssot
not that!!!!
I found it a cool phrase.

I'm Legion, for I am many

King Jedi
I remember the Darth Legion thing from Aldera.net. He was supposed to be made up of Sith Lords from the past.


RC it was around the same time that "Adam" appeared in Buffy so you'll know where the idea came from.

Ushgarak
Yes, yerssot, but it is a biblical quote. Why on Earth do you want Star Wars to start paraphrasing the Bible? That quote only apeared because someone said the name Legion and that is what Legion syas in the Bible. It's all nonsense.

finti
lets keep the bible... far far away from SW

yerssot
but religion things are ok?

queeq
Isn't there some kind of copyright infringement going on there. I think it's pretty scary if LucasFilm start owning the Bible as well. big grin

yerssot
who wants to own the bible???

queeq
Very cool literary themes there...

Ushgarak
What do you mean 'religion things are ok?', yerssot?

queeq
He said that? I usually ignore him... big grin

finti
wonders if I should share my opinion on religion...hmmmmm...
what was this thread about again?

queeq
THe non-existent Darth Legion. roll eyes (sarcastic)

finti
who big grin

yerssot
I mean the bible isn't ok but the use of the virgin-birth from the bible and the indian religion are ok?

queeq
It isn't ok?

yerssot
you don't have to say biblical quotes aren't good if there are elements of other religions in SW

Ushgarak
GRRRR!

It was NOT the use of a Virgin Birth! That is complete fan-spread nonsense.

Anakin's birth at the hands of a supernatural Force is in keeping with ancient mythology of chosen ones and is nothing to do woith Christianity at all. It's a Greco-Roman thing.

And he hasn't 'used' Indian religion. He borrows from mythologies like he does all over. What he doesn't do is rip off what they say verbatim and stick it in his films.

King Jedi
Exactly. I thought we went into the Vigin birth thing ages ago?

yerssot
I didn't say that!

I said that the use of the virgin-birth is also used in christianity and indian-cultures. Anakin is the Chosen One and he had also a virgin-birth. I think that GL saw this in a lot of cultures and bored it in TPM; so why can't a bible-quote be in SW?

Ushgarak
The Christian thing is an utterly different sort of Virgin birth. Put it from your mind.

A bible quote would be a terrible idea not just on practicality, but also because it has crossed the fine line from being inspired to just plain ripping off.

yerssot
I don't know if you know the Bible like the back of your hand. I didn't know it came from the Bible; can you say where it is written?

finti
somewhere between the first and last page.....Does it matter Yers?

Ushgarak
Well, that'll be the bit when they meet a bloke who has been posessed by loads of demons, and that is the line he says.

yerssot
you don't know where it's written but you don't like it in a script? confused I think that if nobody said a thing, you wouldn't know.

Tomorrow I have religion, I'm gonna ask her where the quote is.

Ushgarak
Yes I WOULD, thank you very much, yerssot! How the heck do you think I recognised that line in the first place? It is very famous!

yerssot
It's famous because everybody was talking about it!

Ushgarak
Yerssot, you will have to look ouside the Star Wars world one day. It was famous LONG before that.

Beofre you psted this thread I did not have the slightest idea about the name or the line being used in SW.

It's a bad idea, yerssot, all around.

yerssot
looking outside the Star Wars? NO THANK YOU!! big grin
And the famous-thing you said; is that about the virgin-birth or about Legions line.

And I don't think it's a bad idea. I'm talking about the lines here, not about the origin of them

Ushgarak
Legion's line.

Do you know how tiresome it is to look those things up chapter and verse?

queeq
THat'll be Mark 5:9. wink

Ushgarak
Nice one.

queeq
You're welcome.

finti
Mark......Hamill big grin

Ushgarak
Doubtful... the book of Star Wars, eh?

finti
it would have been a revelation

ToMacco
. . . my cats breath smells like cat-food. wink

queeq
*closes nose*

I know... sad

ToMacco
laughing out loud

queeq
You should be crying with a breath like that. evil face

finti
mieow

darth fester
Well i heard in episode 3 anakin gets hung from a cross and after he dies he comes back as darth vader

that sounds like something from the bible

queeq
It also sounds like a lot of BS.

LanceWindu
That is definatley not going to happen.

darth fester
i know i was just trying to start a vicious rumour

LanceWindu
Now why would you want to do something like that?

Dim
It will make him powerful evil face

I've tried that before..I thought it would be fun to watch people spread your lies for you.

darth fester
thats the idea

spread the word

Dim
LOL, just go report it to AICN.

queeq
Too bad most of us are not gullible.

yerssot
Darn it! I knew I forgot something!
Perhaps my grandmother knows this; she's very religieus in my opinion.

queeq
Ask her then.

yerssot
give me a break! she isn't living in our house!

yerssot
Finally found it in the bible, thanx to http://www.bible.org; I think.
So it's true... it's from the bible, you didn't know it and I didn't know that. Here it comes:

Marcus 5,9:
Than He asked him: What is thou name?
He answered:
"My name is Legion, for I am many"

The whole story:
They came in the land of the Gerasenen. When He stepped out of the boot, a man came out of the caves who had a bad spirit in him. He ran towards Jezus, he shouted:
What do you have to do with me, Jezus, Son of God, the Allmighty? I tell you by God; don't torture me!
Because He had told him: Bad spirit, be gone!
Than He asked him: What is thou name?
He answered: My name is Legion, for I am many
....

Read the bible for the correct passage...

Ushgarak
Yes I DID know it, yerssot. I was NOT lying, I DID know it and I do not appreciate you saying I did not.

yerssot
Calm down Ush!
Ok; you DID know it!
I haven't read the replies here so good; I guess

djee; are you so attached to the bible???

Ushgarak
No, I just get annoyed when people say I am lying when I'm not.

yerssot
And I told you that then I didn't read the replies that good!

in 3PO's voice:
Yerssot has been known to make mistakes ... from time to time...

Ushgarak
I don't really buy that. My very first reply was that it was a Bible quote and the whole conversation afterwards was based around that.

yerssot
You're right about the first post thing.

I got the thought that (you not counted) nobody REALLY knew it came from the bible.

Ushgarak
Despite queeq actually giving the chapter and verse? How much more clear could we make it?

yerssot
That was (what I thought) that everybody heared the rumor and took it for granted that it was in the bible, not thinking about it...

Ushgarak
You should try a little more faith in us.

yerssot
I only know you all for 3 and 1/2 months; in that time I don't give faith away... big grin

queeq
Try this rule from the TFN JC then for size: Read before you post!

Ushgarak
Well said that man.

yerssot
Give me my glasses than big grin

queeq
I'll do better. I'll close.
