11 O'Clock Comics Episode 198

[Jay Tomio - Part Deux]

I think Obi Wan is the biggest candy-ass failure in the prequels. He should have kicked Anakin's nasty ass into the lava in Ep3 and saved a whole lotta lives and strife in the process, but nooooo, he can't admit he misjudged the kid and, instead of taking care of business by erasing his colossal error in judgement, he makes another one by letting him live...

I hate people that don't clean up after themselves.

I don't think that wasn't his intent though, he thought Anakin was going to die. He didn't let him live in terms of not having it in him to see him dead that day. While I'm sure there was a component in him not wanting to go and behead him and seal the deal, he didn't leave him there to live though I think bad filmmaking left that scene like that to perhaps leave the question and dimension of a Ben still caring about his friend enough, not having it in him to execute him (though cutting off all of his limbs and watching him burn to death is cool, I guess).

Unrelated I do think that both Yoda and Kenobi are two of the biggest selfish pieces of shit ever though.

Also, what the movies did horribly was depict the relationship of Ben and Anakin that would make the fall much more impactful for both. Anakin was a legitimate galactic war hero, a bordering on legend to the the troops, these two dudes spent years on the ground in WAR together not just special Bond/Wetwork agents cleaning up situations. These two were soldiers.

If you ever see the novel at a book store just read Stover's very short intro and it fixes it almost instantly. I think a lot about who these two cats actually were is missing from the film and it loses A LOT. These guys were the two galactic badaasses.

He assumed. He didn't know. Big mistake. Shame on him. 

[Bobgar Ornelas]

Wonder what we would have been like had the aliens not tinkered with our DNA? 

Well for one I wouldn't be sexually attracted to the Giger xenomorph...

[David]

He assumed. He didn't know. Big mistake. Shame on him. 

And leads to him being a hermit.  Because that makes a problem go away: ignoring it.

Pretty hardcore that he didn't at least mercy kill him.  Left the dude there to slow roast.  That would have been one hell of a way to die.

Yeah that would make him a dumbass, not really soft/panzy (relative to other Jedi).

Well, let me say I disagree with a lot of what the motivations of Yoda and Obiwan (in context) had to be but he was at Tattooine for a purpose. It wasn't like he stayed near Luke to forget.

From Leonard Kirk:

It's funny because it's true.

You underestimate the power of the Emperor.

How does Lando rate higher than Obi-Wan?  Did you hear that scream as he was getting pulled into the Sarlac pit?  He lost man-cred with his "9 year old ittle girl" scream.

Available in May.

Who the heck is that?

[MarioMuscar]

Dooku.

[Farrell]

Dooku.

Oh.  That name I recognize.

Also in my BAWESNESS rating, the Imperial Death Star Gunner has to be on my list. He has a badass headgear (works indoors) and he may have to come back from lunch to pull a switch that blows up a planet.

I just thought of something: usually death ray uber weapons are accused of being phallic.  The Death Star looks like a giant boob, if anything.

[Julian Lytle]

The more Star Wars is dissed the more powerful I become. I'm like the Darkseid of Star Wars hating. Like teh anti-force equation. I want MOAR disses!!!

also please note Luke lacks the ability to be a bawse. Cartoon Anakin-yes. Captain Rex-yes. Yoda-hell yes he a muppet and shit. Dooku-cause he's fucking Sarumon and Dracula. Lando-see earlier posts. Han-owns a ship, runs a business, has debt=bawse. adult Obi-Wan-cause Ewan McGregor is a pretty cool dude.

Now let's have more hate and disses please.

You know I'm with you on the first part (Luke starts as a whiny bitch, ends as a whiny bitch with a sword), but if you bring other roles into this, I gotta hand it to Mark Hamill.  It took him a few decades to be cool, but finally: Joker.

Man, I don't know...  I refer everyone to Jay's earlier post regarding Luke.  Sounds like a badass to me.  

But if Julian wants some hate, Lando ain't all that.  The man sold out his boy to protect some uptight motherfuckers living on basically a mining city in the sky.  And to think you can make a deal with Vader - you got blinders on, dude.  And you apparently suck at gambling.
