Can the Trekkies get any more desperate?

The "last of the jedi" qoute by Yoda has been proven to be inaccurate.

Luke has run into a few Jedi trained before or him that survied the purge and the Empire by going into hiding or being overlooked.

C'boath comes to mind, the old Jedi Leia ran into in Dark Empire, the Jedi Vader trained that refused to turn Luke ran into in Crystal Star come to mind

ET did levitate objects, make an empathic connection with the boy, and go into a hibernation trance. He also healed a dying flower by just looking at it, as well as healing minor wounds by touch. Sounds like a Force-user to me.
Maybe ET was one of the Jedi who wasn't killed in the purge. He knew he had to leave Earth for fear of drawing the attention of the Sith to the hapless, primitive world. But given that ROTJ came out a year later and Yoda said Luke was the last Jedi, poor little ET must have been killed by Darth Vader soon after lifting off.

RotJ came out a year after ET, but it took place "a long time ago." ET was likely a member of Luke's Jedi Order.

In case you haven't heard the latest... we were wrong about the propulsion systems of SW ships. Forget hypermatter reactors etc. because according to some trekkies, SW ships are fueled by... petroleum and uses diesel engines for propulsion.

I always imagined that ET was a Jedi from the far future post-Endor, say maybe 1000 years? After all, the prologue to the Holy Trilogy is "A long time ago...." It might explain why he was not reluctant at all to form a bond with Elliot.

Just a thought.

Speaking of ET in starwars, i just remembered a funny egg i noticed a while back, i cant recall which movie it was (TPM or AOTC) but it was in one of the senate scenes, when it shows a shot of the various diplomats chanting something, and the primary focus is on a wookie group, but it was either 1 above or 1 to the side of them, were a group of ET's

this is obvious proof that ET is from the SW galaxy, and a "long long time ago" is acutally 50 years ago.

A) It was in TPM.

B) Everyone already knows about it.

C) Why does that suggest that "A Long Time Ago" was 50 year ago?

Well to make it short, because of the references to "flammable fuel" in the novelizations, that the fuel is liquid and that hydrocarbons are "a logical fuel" for fusion reactors due to their "high percentage of hydrogen by mass/volume" and that it explains "the 'gasoline bomb' explosions of Star Wars". The only things that according to BigHairyMountainMan doesn't fit are the Death Stars that, according to him, "have remnants that 'consume themselves,' (whatever he means by that) and show every sign of being unique in technology."

The idea itself originates from a relatively new VS site that's heavily biased towards Trek (it seems to be kiddies running the show), Starfleet Jedi: +http://www.starfleetjedi.net/h5.html

Does it even matter how they justify it? They're a pack of imbeciles who think that gravitational potential energy is technobabble but "subspace" is not.

in the end no it really doesn't matter, but I just wanted to hear how someone can justify such an Insane claim.

Seeing how things are going now, I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone suggested that the Imperial MKS system is not the Federation MKS system, leading to a situation like that of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy substory about how Arthur Dent's careless words, "I seem to be having enormous difficulty with my lifestyle," lead a pair of warlike races to war for generations, and decide to invade Earth upon realization of their mistake, whereupon "due to a tragic mistake in scaling" the whole fleet is eaten by a small dog.

Microscopic ISDs splatted against a Galaxy's Ten-Forward window, anyone? It's not to be taken in seriousness by anyone with an ounce of brains (I might get a goofy fanfic out of it, if I had the time or patience). However, if it hasn't already, just you wait; some trektard will suggest it!

OmegaGuy · Post by **OmegaGuy** » 2006-01-02 08:58pm

Or they might suggest that the Infinite Improbability Drive button on the Enterprise set would actually work and turn all the ISDs into sperm whales

Star Trek is notorious for background jokes, especially in the 'Okudagrams' and displays (in "Up the Long Ladder," for example, HMS New Zealand was said to have been launched on 2135 to the Ficus sector on a "diplomatic mission to Alderaan," while USS Pasteur was said to have been built at the Skywalker Division of the Marin County Starfleet Yards in "All Good Things..."). There are any number of ridiculous 'facts' that could be cited, but none of which are worthy of note.

Wyrm · Post by **Wyrm** » 2006-01-02 11:28pm

It would seem to point to Star Trek being less Frontline and more Red Dwarf. (Just a bit.)
