I think yoda takes it and Learns how to live after life


i dint press search

Dude, change this quick to The Journal Of The Whills and you may have a cool thread....and you did hit "search" first, right??

Anyone ever figure out what the Journal of the Whills was supposed to be...was Lucas just trying to create lore and rip off Frank Herbert?

The ORIGINAL novelisation of Star Wars states that it is taken from "The Journal Of The Whills".....and unless we get flamed out or "derp derpad" to death (Hey! I suggested search in my first post...no longer my resp), there are quite a few romors and spoilers from Ep3 involving this topic...

The journal of the wills was in the last insider . its somewhat made up,but has to do with how quigon ,yoda,and obiwan figured out how to live after death as ghosts.

QuiGon~"Anakin Anakin ........NNNooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!"
ghostly figures

"supposedly" before Yoda leaves the Jedi temple for the last time, he tells Obi Wan that he must retrieve this journal as it details an ancient Jedi secret of becoming one with the force in order to "survive" after death. I am totally paraphrasing, but this would explain why both Yoda and Obi Wan appear as apparitions in the original trilogy, but countless others do not...

Kind of.....QuiGon isnt an apparation but he tells Yoda of the journal and the way to become part of the living force after death. mf.com explains alittle without mentioning the journal but Yoda says to obi wan he has contacted QuiGon

Okay, I had not heard that part, but it makes sense since you hear Qui Gon in Ep2....

I have also heard it rumored that "Whill" is the race of Yoda (and Yaddle).....

Interesting...

It seems this is an old concept that Lucas is re-using and adding to. That makes me happy...

Maybe it will say something about those freakin' midichlorians...

In an Empire of dreams on the bonus dvd, Star Wars was origannaly called the journal of the whills.the journal of the whills is supposed to be the history of the jedi and republic from what i read. and yodas race isnt the whills, they clarified that in insider 80.

Whills is simply a history book that has important things in it like learning how to be a spirit. but you have to be very powerful

Ironically, in a similar theme, Palpatine tells Anakin about a sith lord who also had this death defying ability, which in the trailer , Anakin responds with"can you learn this ability" and Palps says "not from a jedi"....and later, at the opera scene, Palps goes into more detail, naming the sith lord who mastered this power (or knew of it, anyway)....5 bucks if (in the next 4 minutes) you can tell me the sith lords name....

Your Name



yes he tells him about creating life without sex and how to release your anger

No, my name is Greg....Darth Sidious mentions no Gregs...

Sorry, 2:55 is a full 9 minutes past my $5.00 offer!

Damn!

Before retiring, I took the liberty of "searching" this topic, and while there are mentions of The Journal Of The Whills, and even an old thread, they are not relevent to Ep3. Relatively insignificant to some, perhaps, but not redundant. Having somehow allied myself to this thread, I intend to sleep in flame retardant undies!

in insider it mentions that when obi wan and yoda go back they get the journal

Lucas is taking HIS Journal of the Whills and turning it into a book of knowledge passed on by Jedi and Sith from the past, vast knowledge will probably be in these pages. Perhaps someone will discover the journals...and maybe explain alot of things. History of the Sith, other Darths, etc.

what is the journal of whilis?

It was the original story of Star Wars, in the very early drafts. It was also named as The Son of the Sun at one point, but the story was alot different. George Lucas originally considered doing the beginning of Star Wars very different where you wouldve seen a child wookiee crying and its mother coming to comfort it--- and from a self it would pick up "The Journal of the Whills" and open to one of its stories called "Star Wars", and there the story would have begun

just for the record...Whills is not Yoda's race...it's been confirmed that we won't find out what species Yoda is in ROTS

I mention earlier that its not yodas race and that its the history of star wars

who confirmed that yoda is not a Whill? cause i've heard otherwiese

well, "the Whills" have to be something, its a journal of someones, just because in plain english it means that "this is a journal written by the Whills"....

well even if you go to the Databank and look up Yoda, it says species unknown....so someone was misinformed. But i thought that too at one point. Actually, SS has that on his little site.....well he did, i dont know if he still does.....is that where you heard it?
