Exuse me I forgot "Adhear to Cannon

Thusly Padme, Leia and Jania CAN NOT engage in a three way any more than Luke can start going Neslonly Ha ha after every person he kills, Nor can Solo trade in the Millenium Falcon for Magic Beans

Do not laugh for I have read Fanfics where all the above happend

I have been to the depths of the abyss of bad-writing and re-turned unscathed

Those are atrocities and I would never do such things. But still, why is it so damned important to follow canon to the letter?

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-18 02:28pm

It's not. I'm just saying that you really shouldn't throw us a curve like that without giving some kind of warning. My first reaction to the line was "Yoda won't allow that!" so we need some kind of explanation. That's all.

I'm not up on the prequel or the NJO stuff, but where does it say that Jedi cannot marry?

(Oh, please don't read Diplomacy if you don't like a Jedi being married.)

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-18 02:34pm

Hey, Diplomacy was good.

Anyway, the anti-marriage thing is ALL OVER Ep.II.

It's why Anakian suggested keeping things secret. Remember the refugee ship.

Padme: "Are you allowed to love? I though that was forbidden for a Jedi."
Annikan: "Family is forbidden. Attachment is forbidden. Compassion, which I'd call unconditional love is part of the mandate. One might say that we'rre encouraged to love."

And remember on the gunship near the end?

Anakin: "I don't care, we have to saver her!"
Obi-wan: "You will be expelled from the Jedi Order!"

Bingo.

You see how well I paid attention to the movie every time those two were on the screen. *yawn* Boring. Ok, I honestly think George is on something when he is writing the scripts for the prequels. He's totally fucked himself over. He's going to HAVE to rewrite the original trilogy so it fits with his drivel. God, I wish he'd have WATCHED the trilogy before fucking up as bad as he has.

forgive my rambling. I guess a heartfelt FUCK THE JEDI ORDER is in order here.

Diplomacy blows canon out the window more than anything. (other than crossovers) It's unfortunate that I cannot seem to put myself into canon characters and write something worthwhile. Maybe after I finish this story, I'll not write again.

WTF??!?!?!?!!? DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT THAT!!!!!!

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-18 02:55pm

Why? My writing style sucks. It doesn't match up to anything. After all, Bean compared my writing to "Portal".

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-18 03:01pm

NO HE DIDN'T!!!!Bean, you piece of crap, now look what you've done.He was trying to make a joke, and didn't pull it off too well. He was saying don't distort canon the way GK does.

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-18 03:05pm

Concidering I obviously don't know exactly what is canon, staying away from writing is the best thing for me to do.

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-18 03:08pm

WTF is this? Kelly I'm trying to give you a pointer or two, and I think you're blowing WAY out of proportion. I mean come on, one little comment spawns three pages of arguing? Your writing is GOOD, do NOT give it up.

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-18 03:11pm

My writing is not good. I don't know how to write descriptively. I only write conversations. My storylines suck. I have no imagination. I don't know what is canon.

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-18 03:18pm

Oy vey, what's this sudden self-pitying streak?

My writing is not good.

Yes it is.

I don't know how to write descriptively. I only write conversations.

The one about the assassin had some good action.

My storylines suck. I have no imagination.

Station Leave contradicts both of those.

I don't know what is canon.

Minor issue.

Come on Kelly, what's wrong? Just keep writing!

Ok, one more story for you to read. It's not on my main page. It's hidden on my site.

I distinctly remember in the Dark Horse Comics (Tales of the Jedi, IIRC), there were concrete examples where Jedi were married and had children.

Of course, the events in TotJ took place long before the events in Episode II, so it's entirely possible that the Jedi Order changed their policy in that time.

Personally, the whole "can't get married" thing in Episode 2 was akin to the Midichlorians of Episode 1. Bleah.

A Light in the Darkness
Chapter 3: To Fall and Rise

The darkness grew as Thayre hunted down those who had killed the children. His search took him far from the core. He pretended to be someone else, going from system to system, planet to planet, bar to bar.

Finally his search lead him to the first of his victims. He found him in a house of ill repute and tortured him for hours until the hunter broke down and told him where to find another of the group. The moment after he uttered the information, Thayre raised his lightsaber and sliced the hunter's head from his body.

The same happened with the next hunter. And the next. The Dark side grew strong within Thayre. He finally came to the last of the hunters. This one had been the leader. It did not matter to Thayre. He was as puny as the others.

The hunter stood in fear as Thayre approached him, his lightsaber lit. "Who are you? What do you want?"

"You will tell me who hired you to kill the Jedi children," he said in a voice not his own. "You will tell me where to find this monster. And then you will die." A gust of wind blew through the clearing where they faced off. Thayre's cloak billowed around him. His eyes were cold and hard.

"I will not be the one dying, Jedi. There is a purge happening. Our illustrious Emperor is removing your kind from the galaxy. Soon, there will be no more Jedi to protect the innocent." He pulled his blaster rifle around and fired at the Jedi.

The shot reflected off Thayre's Force shield. "Pitiful fool! Who is this Emperor you speak of?" He reached a hand out and clenched his fist.

The hunter's eyes widened as he clawed at the invisible fingers choking him. "P... Palpatine. He... will... destroy... the Jedi. Your... order... is... dead."

He released the grip and watched the hunter collapse on the ground gasping for air. "Now that I know who it is, there will be no more killing of Jedi." He swung his arm up and came down across the hunter, slicing him in half. The swirling darkness overcame Thayre completely.

He returned home to find the Jedi preparing to leave. Rhian had gathered his things as was waiting in his room. "What is going on?" he asked as he entered.

"The Jedi Order is no more. We are separating to hopefully save some of our numbers." She was quiet. Much more so than before.

He went to sit beside her and she flinched. The darkness flared to life. "What is WRONG with you! I made them pay for killing the children."

"That's just it, Thayre. You retaliated by killing them. The Dark side has a great hold on you."

He threw an arm up in disgust. "I have not gone to the Dark side. You're imagining things."

"Am I," she shot back. "Then explain why you are upset with me? You've never spoken to me in that manner. EVER."

He blinked and looked at her closely. She looked tired, not physically, but emotionally. "Rhian... I..."

She stood and moved over to the window. The view looked down over the spot where the children had been buried. "You should have brought them to stand trial for their actions. Instead, you killed them. Why, Thayre?"

He wanted to go to her, to comfort her, but he knew it would only push her further away. "I... I wanted to know who hired them. The only way to discover that was to frighten them with force."

"Did you find out anything?"

"Yes. It's Palpatine."

She spun around, her hands flying to her mouth. "Chancellor Palpatine? That's impossible. He's been our staunchest supporter."

"Ever wonder exactly why he supported us? In order to gain our trust so we wouldn't belive it was him. But, now I know the truth. I am going to go take care of him so he can never hurt another Jedi."

She could sense the darkness within him. It frightened her. "Thayre, do you love me?"

Her question caught him offguard. "Of course Rhian. I've always loved you."

She moved to him and laid a hand on his. "Then forget your quest and come with me. We can live peacefully together."

He looked down into her deep brown eyes. They had mesmorized him since the day he first saw her. The darkness began to receed, afraid of the light his heart was projecting. "Rhian, you mean the galaxy to me. My only wish is to be with you."

She smiled as she felt the last of the darkness retreat to the deepest recesses of his subconscious. "I love you, Thayre." They kissed passionately.

Whoa. Damn. OK, I see this is setting up a fight between Thayre and Vader. Should get interesting!

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-18 11:50pm

You do?

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-18 11:56pm

Well, yeah. Vader is Palpy's attack dog and this guy's gonna try and take him down...you see my point.

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-18 11:58pm

Ah, but his love for Rhian has changed him. Also, remember the beginning...

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-19 12:01am

Hmmm....

The darkness retreats only as long as the light shines. Extinguish the light, and the darkness comes creeping back...

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-19 12:05am

Perhaps.

Can't say one way or the other. That would ruin the finale.

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-19 12:06am

*steeples fingers*

I shall wait.

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2002-10-19 12:08am

Now go write Eran's prequel. I don't think the finale is going to be written this weekend.
