All question that have been posted so far today have been answered.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

What ever happened to that one guy? The short one that wasnt Yoda and looked like an elf?

BAC: Care to clarify?

[shadoomoken]

Is the force sentient or an uber phenomenon responding to the will or wills of potential force users whom touches uses or feels it?

BAC: It's never actually been said, but I tend to think of the Force as God. You may not see him, but you know he is there talking with you and watching over you everywhere you go.

How and why is there a freakin darkside? And why can't the so called good side defeat stop or destroy essentially whats a part of itself? Or is it that George is making this up as he goes and hasn't gotten that far yet?

BAC: You might as well ask "Why are people evil?" It's just the way things are. It's just someone's belief. It's not like half of the Force is Dark and half of the Force is Light. It's all up to the person who uses it. Darth Vader CHOOSES to be Dark and Obi-Wan Kenobi CHOOSES to be Light. Please do not think that George is making stuff up about the Force as he goes along, because he is truly not.

What Shaman did Qui Gon Jinn learn the immortal force technique and why the crap didn't Yoda know of it? Or did George pull this from the land of 'What!' like he may or may not have done with the goodside darkside force(depends more or less upon your response for my previous question)?

BAC: Qui-Gon studied the technique of the Ancient Shaman of the Whills. Yoda and the other Jedi did not really believe in the Living Force. Yoda didn't believe in it until after the events of Revenge of the Sith when he opened his eyes and saw that there was more than what was right in front of him. Obi-Wan Kenobi did the same thing.

The Shaman of the Whills was keeper of the Journal of the Whills. You may notice that the ORIGINAL book for Episode IV - A New Hope was called "Star Wars: From The Adventures of Luke Skywalker". In that book, there is a passage that describes the events of I-II-III in a political sense. At the very end, it says "From the First Saga: The Journal of the Whills".

George once said that the story of the Star Wars Saga (I-VI) was told to one of the Keppers of the Journal about 100 years after Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. The story was told by none-other than our little friend named Artoo Detoo.

....

BAC: No offense, but I think you are looking a little too far into the films. But, by all means, keep asking questions and I will be able to answer them for you.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

The short guy next to Yoda.

BAC: That's who I assumed you meant, but wasn't sure. Anywho....that'd be Even Piell. He was listed as MIA (Missing In Action (for all you retarded folks)) during the Clone Wars and was presumed dead.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

Though he could still be alive, right?

BAC: There is a slim to none chance that he is still alive.

[shadoomoken]

Will Lucas make a live action television show or animated series or both?

BAC: Both

What is Lucas' version on the origin of the Sith? Not the expanded universe banter only his.

BAC: All he has said was that the Sith broke off from the Jedi and went their own separate way. But, Lucas himself created Darth Bane.

DELETED

Anakin's eyes. Why and How please? You know the sick yellow eyes.

BAC: Extreme anger and hatred.

Do you think Vader can stop Sidious from reading his mind about twenty odd years later after episode 3.

BAC: No

Could Sidious read Yoda's mind?

BAC: He wouldn't have because Yoda would have sensed it.

If i used the force somewhere in the starwars universe would other force sensitive types know about it and could they track me based on this?

BAC: Only if you were to use a large amount of the Force at one time, like a huge concentrated attack on your enemy. That is why Palpatine was not able to sense Luke using the Force in ANH until after he destroyed the Death Star.

Are Jedi and Siths allowed to have children? I would think Sidious could actually have a child and have that child be his apprentice.

BAC: A Sith would be able to have a child, but if another Sith feared that the child could ruin their chance at becoming a Sith, the person would most likely kill it while it was still young.

Whoose the better swordsman Yoda or Sidious? I could'nt tell. They both seemed equal in ep 3. At least sabre wise.

BAC: Darth Sidious is the most powerful with a lightsaber. Lucas has said he can use his lightsaber at a much quicker speed than anyone else. Yoda is close to his level though.

DarkJedi. Do they still exist during Sidious' empire? Does Mr Lucas recognize their existence during this time? Could Sidious effectively control them?

BAC: In the Expanded Universe, there are Dark Jedi during Sidious' Empire, though Lucas has not said if he recognizes their existance.

apologies friends apologies.

No harm done then

[shadoomoken]

What I'm asking about the yellow eyes is this: Is it only that way when he's feeling actual raging hatred or when ever he delves into the darkside?

BAC: Raging hatred, because if it was just when he was using the Dark Side then Dooku would have had them too. Dooku never had raging hatred, so he never had the yellow eyes.

Yoda seems suspicious when Sidious suggest Anakin to protect Padme. Does he sense the darkside somewhere in Palpatine's decision?

BAC: He senses some sort of motive, but he doesn't sense the Dark Side.

How is it possible for the darkside to cloud anything on its own or is it Sidious using the darkside to cloud's the Jedi's ability to use the force accurately.

BAC: There was a massive shift in the Force which helped cause the Jedi's blindness. It was also due to the arrogance of the Jedi. "Your arrogance blinds you, Master Yoda. Now you will experience the full power of the Dark Side..."

If Yoda was say a hundred years younger could he have beaten Sidious or did it not make a difference?

BAC: Wouldn't have made a difference.

If Anakin had remained a nice guy how long would it had taken for him to be able to defeat Sidious?

BAC: He could have defeated Darth Sidious in Revenge of the Sith if he wanted, but chose not to.

I think if Quigon had trained Anakin he wouldn't have turned to the dark side. What do you think?

BAC: Qui-Gon would have been more lax, aka. not as stiff and "proper Jedi" like, so I do believe that Anakin would not have turned had Qui-Gon Jinn trained him.

I remember Lucas said somewhere that the reason the Jedi train force potentials young is that it makes them more intuned with the force. How the heck did Luke pull it off in just under three years? As a young adult.

BAC: Luke was just smart, but he was not like the Knights of the Old Republic. They were trained from a young age so they wouldn't feel anger or attachments. Luke, on the other hand, had attachments and he had a lot of anger within him. It wasn't until the end of Return of the Jedi that he was able to get rid of them.

What do you think happened to Nick Gillard's fight scene in the second and third movie. In the first it was absolutely brilliant. The second film it was just plain lazy. And the third it was just simple 'tap dancing'.(I can say this because I've been watching fan films for years and a few of them far surpassed starwars episode two. Also i'm a fan of martial arts films where swordplay is absolutely gorgeous. I expected better out of Starwars.) Or do you think its because of the director, Mr Lucas getting in his way?

BAC: The one in Attack of the Clones was butchered by Ben Burrt, but it was still meant to be short. The one in Revenge of the Sith, in my opinion, is awesome. But, to each his own. So, only you can decide "what went wrong with it" since you are the one that feels that way, not me.

Midichlorians how much exactly is Anakins and what do you think Sidious' count is.(I didn't mean to sound all rude and silly but I really hate that super.....punk punk dude whoose name I won't mention because I hate em.)

BAC: I know exactly who you mean....anywho, it's never been said how many midichlorians Darth Sidious has, but Anakin Skywalker has "over twenty thousand". That was said by Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace.

Again about the sexual jokes I only did it because I saw previous post that were actually pretty funny and I thought since it was allowed if I said something silly it'd make someone laugh or be pazzed out. But be assured i will not do so unless permitted by ours truly; You the Administrators.

BAC: It's okay, just be more careful in the future. But, I must ask, how do you come up with all of these questions?

[shadoomoken]

Ussej Bac my friend trust me when I say. Most days I'm thinking about a thousand different things a day. Among those; starwars. I'm constantly thinking of versions of what ifs or what could've been.

BAC: I see. Just remember, I cannot answer "What if" questions because it never happened. You need your own imagination for those.

I'm really sorry for dissing Nick. I mean I think in episode three. The fight scenes were great its just that. I wanted Obi-wan and Anakin to be moving so quickly and literally moving their enviorment about. Its like with Neo and Smith. You wanted the big hoe down to be massive and in the end it was better than all rest but not: Earth Shaking. I hated the fight with Sidious and Mace. That sucked. It looked to me that Sidious was only moving that slow because he was playing with Mace. But Mace paled in comparison to Dooku's stunt double in ep 2 and 3.

BAC: Well, this isn't The Matrix so you shouldn't be comparing it like that. The Obi-Wan vs. Vader fight on Mustafar did exactly what it needed to do, as did the Mace vs. Sidious fight. I don't see why you think it sucked. The Jedi Masters were taken out fast because they were caught by suprise and stunned at what they had just seen. Sidious moved slower because he hadn't completely drawn all the power of the Dark Side yet. And, yes, Sidious had to lead Mace on. Most of the fight was a fake, but he did get arrogant. Mace kicking Sidious in the face was real, as was him falling to the ledge. But, once Sidious was sitting up against the wall he was faking again. "Please don't...please don't..." was pure acting.

Also let me ask a question did you hear what Sidious said when he blasted Mace through the window in which he fell forever? He said:'Unlimited power!" Which shows just how much Mace sucked. But the book made it seem that Mace was this great vapaad god. But then maybe i'm reaching. Maybe i'm seeing things wrong.

BAC: Sidious said "Power....Unlimited Power...." because that was the moment when the Sith finally took back control of the galaxy. Now that Mace was dead, it was only a matter of time until the entire Jedi Order was as well. Then, the Sith would rule the galaxy....

I was thinking what if Mace was moving the way he was because he was timing Sidious' offence. Say like Wu-shu versus Tai chi. It is said that Tai-chi beats Wu-shu because its more balanced more thought placed. Where as Wu-shu is just plain maddened speed which leaves one open for a proper slower attack.

BAC: That's an interesting idea that I know nothing about

But then sidious would've also been gauging Mace like two chess masters not playing speed chess just well placed moves.

BAC: You have it exactly correct! The idea was not to kill Mace in one quick move, it was to lead him on to the perfect moment which was just a few moments after Anakin Skywalker arrived.

Yeah that reminds me. Do you think Sidious would've knowingly allowed other force users to exist.

BAC: Jedi, no. Dark Jedi, ask the Expanded Universe.

How long do force users who are human live for?

BAC: Now, I am not going by anything official here, but I am going by what this site uses in RPs:

Normal Human: 100 Years Max.
Force Sensitive Human: 120 Years Max
Trained Force Sensitive Human: 150 Years Max
Highly Trained Force Sensitive Human: 200 Years Max

Obi-wan says to Vader: "If you strike me down I'll become more powerful than you can imagine." From what I can tell he's just a ghost. who can talk to people. Is that what he meant? Or am I missing something? I mean Vader's master was Sidious. The most powerful force user who ever lived. So Vader could imagine some big things.

BAC: Unlimited knowledge of the Force as well as the ability to have influence after death by retaining your body and mind is the most powerful thing anyone could ever achieve. It is eternal consciousness that Obi-Wan is referring to. Vader could imagine things that he could see...mortal things...but he could not imagine what power life after death gives you.

Do you think the reason why Sidious killed Darth Plageous in his sleep is because He was in effect weaker than Plageous?

BAC: Not necessarily. It's mainly because Sidious was greedy and wanted to take away the power of Darth Plagueis. And, he did by killing him. After that, Sidious had the power to cheat death AND he was the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Also with such power wouldn't Plagueous be able to make mundanes(regular folks) able to tap into the force.

BAC: "He could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying." Nope, just that. Plagueis' power did not include that. The only thing that has ever been known to give non-Force users the power of the Force is the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan.

At the StarWars Wikiki(whatever) site it said that sometimes people have a force aura which enables them to tap into the force. But it went on to say that Lucas didn't say if the aura is a result of the midichlorians or in effect causes them. What do you think?

BAC: I went to the site to search for a "Force Aura" but it did not say anything about it there. So, in result, I do not really know what you are referring to.

Lets say if one could harvest midichlorians could they in effect increase their force potential if they found a way to inject it directly into themselves?

BAC: But, you cannot harvest midichlorians. That's like injecting yourself with cells to make yourself more powerful. Just doesn't work that way.

[shadoomoken]

In the book Anakin decides within himself that eventually he'll be rid of Sidious. Lets say that within a year if Sidious discovered Anakin's feelings on the matter (if he wasn't injured of ccourse) do you believe he would've been able to stop Anakin after training him in the darkside?

BAC: No, Sidious would not have even been able to stop him in Revenge of the Sith let alone a year later.

If Anakin and Obi-wan wasn't on Mustafar would Obi-wan have been able to beat him.
