Should Padmé get to use a lightsaber in Ep III?

[Stormbringer]

I'm sure somebody off of HBO can do that independently...

But it wouldn't be Natalie Portman.

Necessarily.... Besides, I'm sure that Lucas would be too moralized to do anything like that himself.

Maybe, be I'd be more than willing to do it on his behalf. It would be long, arduous, and require many, many takes but I'd do it.

Well, I'd a unplug for starters. I'm not a RayCav so I don't want to see that.

Sort of. There's a saying when you're pissed off that goes like this: "Fuck me sideways, and gently with a chainsaw." Good enough for ya?

[neoolong]

I don't mean going all Jedi (althought that would be cool) I'm thinking at least along the lines of some sort of utilitarian usage like when Han opened up the Taun Taun to save Luke.

I don't think it would add much to the film. I mean, if it's necessary for the plot, or logical, or whatever, then I wouldn't have a problem with it, but putting it in there just for the hell of it is going too far.

That's what deleted scenes are for on the DVD.

[Cal Wright]

Well I can think of one way ahe could use a lightsabre but its kinda hentai

I've got a real lightsabre she can use for that scene.

*cough*

Stop hijacking threads you bastards.

Pick a lock with it. Plain and simple. She has Anakin's sabre that he dropped when he falls into a molten pit and Obi Wan had picked it up to take back. Now Obi Wan is fending off clone fire and they're backed against a door. Tada!

Second of all, Jango could have just shot at Windu, but then again, how do we not know that he wouldn't have used the force to block the shot.

Place large, thick block of wood on active saw blade and hold it there
sit on block, straddling it
enjoy interaction between wood and saw

Wank, wank, wank...

No.

Actually, I started thinking about it because Natalie Portman was jokingly complaining that she's the only one in AotC who doesn't get a lightsaber.

Still, you make a good point.

[Vympel]

Ugh God no. It's just not called for.

You know, I've been wondering why Jango didn't use any of his wrist weaponry? (rockets, darts, the flame thrower again, etc.)

He did. He used the flamer, like you said, and the rope thing. Also, the wrist blades. The darts might not have been useful. Rockets at close range is rather foolish. So he probably used what was useful at the time, which wasn't much.

[Lord_Xerxes]

I was referring to as opposed to clumsily diving at Mace's lightsaber.

[Lord_Xerxes]

Argh? I can't edit my own posts? Cheese! Well, sorry for double posting, but here's a little info I drug out of the EGWT:

"Fett carries several types of rocket in his belt pouches, although his preffered choices are Locris Syndicates Tye 12As explosive rockets (for use on individuals)."-About Bobba Fett's wrist rockets.

The point I'm driving at is, because it's likely that Boba's armor pieces came from Jango's (Jango had a spare set of his armor in the Slave 1) that Jango probably has similar or the same equipment. Now I'm not sure how far the distance was from him to Mace, but he could have saved himself a lot of time, and his life, if he just rocketed down Mace and/or the Arena beast that charged him. If the rocket has a payload meant to kill an individual (btw, this is all assuming that's the kind of rocket he has loaded, the book lists several other types, some with a payload large enough to destroy a speeder bike, others with nerve agents, etc) he probably could have survived the blast, even at a closer range. He is armored, after all.

[Kurgan]

Its somewhat interesting now that I think about it, how the classic "pull enemy's gun out of their hand with the force" trick isn't really used in the prequels...

Though I suppose Mace really didn't need that to kill Jango anyway, but even if Jango HAD gotten his saber in hand, couldn't he have simply "pulled" it back?

That would have been funny. ; )

[Captain Cyran]

The main thing I think that killed Jango was the fact that his jetpack was broken when he got run over by the beastie. If that hadn't happened he could have just flown into the air and gotten away from Mace Windu. But it did break, which he had definately not counted on.

[Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi]

I think she should use a lightsaber, but only under two circumstances:

1. She kills Jar Jar with it (If not her, someone else)
2. She gets her clothes ripped off with it (If not the lightsaber, then some other sharp object)

[Biddybot]

Padme use a lightsaber? Cripes, NO! The only thing I want to see that woman do in the next episode is die.

If Anakin clumsily dropped his lightsaber on her from a great height and she feebly tried to pull it out of herself as her last dying act, that'd be an okay way for her to handle one, though.

[Cal Wright]

*poke*

it'd be interesting to see her use it in a manner much like Han.

[MirrorUniverseSpy1]

I think she should use one, it would be cool to see.

[David the Hutt]

I don't think she should. I think she would kill herself before she had Luke and Leia. Maybe she could have a mobile force field kinda like the destroyers. One that could fit on a belt or something.
