    If Mulan can dress up as a boy and fool the military, then I can dress up as a girl and fool the Twilight Casting Call folk. It's time to shake up the Mormon Vampire Empire.

    @mat1cs: reaching for that thing.: I swear on my wig that I will do my best to prevent this movie from ever being made. If that means I have to set fire to all those metal drums of hair gel lying around the set, by gods I will.

    Everyone knows the Jedi religion (jediism? forceism?) was just created by Yoda as a tax shelter.

    I hope they guard their child-care facility very carefully. Especially from that dashingly handsome, yet gallingly ambitious new officer they just swore in.

    I believe that Jedi will become like christianity in the future. I can see it happening. Christianity is based on a loose collection of stories about a bloke who may or may not have lived 2000yrs ago. The stories are quite far fetched and involve a lot of magic and the like andinvolve fantastical things like rising form the dead and the feeding of 5000 people with very little food.


    People made that into a religion, the stories of the fantastic jesus and his adventures in the desert land of Isreal against the evil [roman] empire. I can see theologists of the future looking back at the massive body of star wars fiction and now that people are officially stating their religion as jedi on census forms and the like would believe that in the ancient past there was a man named luke skywalker who....yadda yadda yadda.


    Of course i'm talking about 2000 yrs into the future here

    Should have sent the Jedi down to help at the G20 summit. Think of how much damage THEY could have done.
