Question for all you Star Wars geeks

[lsbd]

Just WTF was Yoda and why did you never see any others of his "race"? You would think that, if he was typical of his kind, you would see at least a couple others of any race that lives 900 years. Where the hell were they? Or did Yoda's expertise in "the force" grant him extrodinary long life and, being ugly as hell, the rest of his kind died off?<br /><br />WFT?? Any thoughts on the Yoda phenom would be appreciated

 

[lsbd]

WTF? No one has any idea what Yoda is? No one wonders where he came from and why you never saw any others of his kind? I just found it odd that throughout the entire series of films you saw several representatives of all the other races presented but only one Yoda.

I would speculate that Yoda is an old Pokemon, giving crossover fanfic nerds a reason to wet their pants. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Yoda is the sole survivor of the now destroyed, "Muppet Universe," where the cataclysmic battles between the Yedi and the evil forces out to destroy the fabric of everything (the "Mith") triumphed under the evil Emperor "Barney the Grouch."<br /><br />Yoda went to that universe. In ours, we received Darth Elmo, evil Muppet of the Sith. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Ignore the comedians. Read about Yaddle. She was featured in Episode 1. Notice that Wookipedia lists Yoda's species as Unknown tridactyl species. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

I'm sure someone somewhere in a dirty basement is writing Yoda erotic fanfiction. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Well, no, but a Classic Internet fare instead: Star Wars DOS version.<br /><br />Go to your Start Menu, then select Run. At Run, type telnet. Then type o and then the following address at the prompt: towel.blinkenlights.nl <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

I remember reading in one of the books once that when Luke was on Dagobah that Yoda told him he was the last of his kind (this was not shown in ESB). This book also explained more about Dagobah and the "cave" Luke went into.<br /><br />Long before TPM Yoda fought a Sith Lord on Dagobah and defeated him. The cave was the Sith Lords space craft. After the Empire was formed, Yoda went back to Dagobah to find because the Dark Side power from the Sith Lord's essence was able to mask the Light Side of Yoda's force basically making him undetectable.<br /><br />Luke knew how to find him because Yoda was able to talk with the "dead" Jedi Masters, Obi-Won and tell him where he was.

Yoda was gay

 

[lsbd]

Oh, just great..now this is a gay thread

Oh I I meant not to offend the Vogons.<br /><br />It's just that I don't (and don't want to know) what many of their mucilagenous appendages do.<br /><br />Please excuse my spelling, since I've never (and had hoped to never) type that word before. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Attract the Vogons? Nah, I don't think Lizards are their style.<br /><br />Well, unless they're served in a nice Hoisin sauce. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Lizard is delicious, especially when served with a side of deep fried human thyroid glands. <br /><br />There is just something about fresh organ meats . . . <br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Yeah. Pituitary Gland with a cheesy dipping sauce is dee-lishious! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Can't get enough of those pineal glands either . . .<br /><br />Why don't people have more than one apiece?<br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Good question. It'd be more...efficient when preparing a dinner for 50, wouldn't it? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

<font color="yellow"><i>"Can't get enough of those pineal glands either . . ."</i></font><br /><br />Now that sparks an idea ! If we clone pineal glands and extend the meatsicle concept ... hmmm.

There was a Yoda type Jedi thing in "Knights of the Old Republic" which is set a thousand years or so before Star Wars (the movies) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#800080">"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring.
