I think Owen Lars used to be Obi-Wans brother, but Lucas is saying that he's not

couple things here .................
Sci-fi, were you being funny? Owen Lars is not Obi-Wan brother, he is Clegg Lars son, Clegg married Shimi who is anakin's mother. Beru and owen married and took care of Luke that is why Luke calls him Uncle owen and her aunt beru. Owen and beru were killed by stormtroopers in ANH.



Ok,
Palps said in his talk about Darth palgis(who was his sith master) he said, it was said he(palgis) was so powerful he could create life through the mediclorians. Now he did say he taught him everything he knows and then proceeded to kill him in his sleep(palgis) so it is a possibility that palps or palgis concieved ani that way........but unclear.............

Not being funny at all, although there has been a lot of controversy about it over the years. It was in the ROTJ script and later published in the ROTJ book. In the Jedi Apprentice series, in book number 3 or 4 it has young Obi-Wan remembering his past. He talks about his brother Owen. GL later says he changed his mind and it's another "Owen", not Lars, but it was in the "official book". So whether or not one chooses to believe it's canon or not, it's up to that individual. Do a search and you will find half the sites say no and the other half say yes.

Personally, I only go by what is shown in the movies, but a lot of SW fans use and view the official books and comics as part of the canon. So one may be forced to juggle the "writers mistake" or GL's change of mind or whatever, depending on the conversation at a particular SW forum. Blame it on Lucas for filling in the gaps in the SW movies with his books and comics, saying it's part of the SW universe, and possibly causing the confusion in the first place.

Here's one scene that's not featured in the theatrical release of Episode III, just before Obi-Wan and Padmé arrives at Polis Massa for medical assistance (after the fight):

On the isolated asteroid world of Polis Massa, Yoda meditates and hears the spirit voice of Qui-Gon Jinn. The voice tells him that there is a way to merge with the Force and retain consciousness after death. In order to learn this power, Yoda declares himself an apprentice of the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn.

I loved it. it had everything I expected and more. Even my husband liked it!


I was in shock at the number of parents bringing under 6 yr olds to see it without thinking of the shock and events of the movie that made it so dark in tone. Don't they have any common sense to screen it first before bringing the kiddies?

Thanks Sci-fi for clarifying that..........
I didn't know about that aspect of Obi-wan. There is so much outside of the movies and it is hard to keep track of it all. i have heard about what you said about Yoda and Qui=Gon, I have started the book and am very excited to read that part

That's what happens when a brand name is associated with family entertainment.

"It's Star Wars. It'll be a family movie."

Probably the ONLY way that many parents would not have brought the kiddies first would've been if Episode III had gotten an R rating. Otherwise, PG-13 is for today what PG was back in the pre-PG-13 days.

Perhaps by today's standards, Episode III still is a family movie. I don't know. I don't have much of a family anymore, so I cannot experience the impact that others may feel.

Fortunately, where I was, no under 6 yr olds went into shock over a lot of what happened in the movie. Or, to put it the way one might see it in the end credits of a movie:

"No pre-6 year olds were mentally scarred during the viewing of this motion picture."

I do have to admit, when I saw one group of parents bring in a child in a baby carrier, I groaned slightly. But the only reason I did was because I equated it with bringing in a cell phone that still had its ringer turned on. Thankfully, the infant made no noise.


Going back to the whole PG to PG-13 matter. I can probably guarantee that if a movie like Raiders of the Lost Ark (with its rather graphically violent scenes) were made today exactly as it was back in 1981, it would most likely have gotten a PG-13 rating instead of PG. Temple of Doom got a PG rating as well...even in the early days of PG-13dom. (even with its heart ripping scenes). Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan would also most likely have gotten a PG-13 if it were made today exactly as it was back in 1982.

Actually, if memory serves, it was 'Temple of Doom' that ushered in the PG-13 rating. I believe it was the very first film to get that rating.

But I digress, I managed to get my wife to see ROTS yesterday and when I asked her what she thought of it afterwards, this was her response: "It was pretty much what I thought it'd be. A lot of laser fights and stuff." Ugh. Oh well, I knew going in that she wasn't a SW fan, even a little bit. That said, she was gracious enough later to ask me a few questions about certain things that occurred in the film and about the saga in general. It was obviously done out of pity, but I appreciated the effort nonetheless.

It's the thought that counts

A friend of mine, who is doing a PHD on Volcanoes reckons the Lava in ROTS was flowing too fast

I saw at least one stroller in the theater and felt like going over to the people and asking if they were in their right minds bringing in toddler.

here is my thing......just the sound alone is damaging to little ears. It is way too loud. In fact when we bring the kids to a disney movie, if it is too loud I go tell them to turn it down.......

I noticed that too. It was a very loud movie!! In fact, my ears already were aching even during the loud previews!!!!

Well,
the thing is loud for us adults is one thing, but kids/babies hearing is more sensitive and easier to damage.

I know Julix. If I were the parents I would have bought them earplugs so that the child could hear the movie but not damage his/her hearing.

About to see ROTS for the 4th time tonight! It'll probably be my last theater viewing. I don't want to oversatuate myself with it. The DVD will give me ample opportunity for that.
