Of all the jedi masters in canon and EU, who would you want to instruct you? Why?

I said Mace because he is not only a tremendous Jedi, but he seems like he gets down to business while also having a life, and that's cool.

Of the choices above, I'd pick Yoda. But otherwise I'd go with TUF era Luke.

I picked Qui-Gon. Mainly because he seems skilled while being more understanding and less uptight many of the others.

Mace might be cool but I think he'd be more difficult to train under than most just because he's so bad-assed, and because he's on the council.

I'd sure like that blue Twi'lek girl to teach me the ways of the Force. You've got to figure that, given the fact that Lucas derived some of the Jedi way from Buddhism, there have got to be Tantric Jedi out there.

I'm going with Qui-gon. He was both wise (Obi-Wan seemed certain he was all set to be a council member only he kept flouting the rules) and yet adventurous. he combined great knowledge with personality and a humanity that only OT Kenobi seems to have matched since then. Yoda certainly was the greater repository of knowledge and amongst the most insightful but he would be a harsh master to learn under and Qui-gon seems more understanding of the human aspect of life.

Who is she anyway? One of the guy's here has an avatar of a blue Twi'lek girl with a blue lightsabre, and I assume she's the same who you're referring to. But I know nothing about her.

Who cares? :)

Maybe. I don't let facts and logic intrude on my sexual fantasies, however, so the point is moot.

Mara! :twisted: Pre Hand of Thrawn that is, so I could makes sure she doesn't end up with that pasty faced farmboy, but a young padawan instead!

Failing that I'd go for Kyp. I have my reasons...

I picked PT Obi Wan, Heres why:
1) He had a movie made where he was one of the main characters.
2) He was the cause of the creation of Darth Vader (YEah, I know he Wasn't REALLY, but it WAS his pupil)
3) I like his nonchalant attitude. He teaches by allowing a screw up then gently chiding you, I respond the best to that style. (Course, he doesn't tolerate subsequent screwups, but....)
4) He's a survivor. Only him and his pupil survived the Purge. That says something.
5) Three words: Chicks. Dig. Beards.

I go with OT Obi Wan. And in the spirit of doing lists. . .

1. He survived the Purge (as Chardok stated)
2. He willingly had himself killed so he could better help his student.
3. He chopped some guy's arm off in a bar. That's got to account for something.
4. He hung around as a ghost until then Thrawn Trilogy, five years after Endor and about ten after Yavin,
5. Chicks dig old guys with beards.
6. His Krayt Dragon roar kicks ass.

his Majesty, Emperor Palpatine. I would be one of the two, and be allowed to use my strength to further my own ideas rather than that of a bunch of brown robed arrogant hermits. Then i'd get to use Mind Tricks and force chokes at will. And i'd get to say:

I'd want PT Obi-Wan. In some ways, he's like one of my ninjutsu instructors, and in other ways he's like me. And he's also said to be a good swordsman. Yoda could probably teach the most about the ways of the Force, but Obi-Wan would likely focus mainly on the most important aspects and swordfighting.

And what kind of training would this be? Full Jedi training or Yoda's crash-course(tm) ala ESB?

Oh, funny title, BTW. One would think masters allready know the ways of the Force :lol:
