I thought Anakin's reaction (given the timing) had to be to Cam losing his forearm. Anakin foresaw it just as it was about to happen and screamed through the Force. Is there a reason to interpret that otherwise?
Maybe with enough Force Healing skill he'll be able to regrow it.
Given that run of the mill Old Republic Jedi were able to go toe to toe with the Sith of their day on equal footing, I don't think Sith training methods are inherently superior. Jedi methods must work, when they're serious about them because there's a war. Anything from EU about Maul being able...
It's a great story, please don't let the negativity bother you. Yes, losing an arm is a bit of a trope in Star Wars and maybe a little overused, but it does make sense in the story. Character growth alternatives, like Serra's death, might not have been viable because they'd thwart your plans for...
From what I can find, Maul became Sidious' apprentice in 37 BBY at 17 years old, and Naboo occurred in 32 BBY at 22 years old. That's 5 years of training.
Sure, his training was brutal and would have given him the edge over ordinary Jedi, but he was stuck learning at the maximum rate of a...
I also enjoyed the duel. It was exciting, well-written. I get why Cam lost himself in the dark for a while; he's riding the line of being seriously emotionally compromised by the dark side. (A problem he's going to have to fix, and maybe this will be a wake up call that perhaps Jedi doctrine has...
It is well designed for the limitations they were operating under, but I confess I'm kind of surprised they didn't pursue further FTL tech to make the whole empire more centrally manageable so a lot of the extreme stability adaptations wouldn't be as necessary.
The moral question is a hard one.
In a war for survival itself, I think morality doesn't enter into it. Such a war determines, as the saying goes, not who is right, but who is left. The only obligation of a party to such a conflict is to ensure that they're the one left. Unless you're willing...
My thinking is that the Jedi way isn't so much about whether someone uses violence, it's about why they use violence, and their state of mind while they engage in it. It is not the action itself that causes a Jedi to fall, to fall means losing control of their emotional state.
A Jedi walking...
Yes, I am correct, and everything you've asserted is certainly true is just you making stuff up that you think would happen. It's important to qualify your statements, otherwise people might think the nightmare scenario you've laid out of children being powerless property ripe for abuse by...
You seem to be deeply misinformed. This isn't how youth law actually works, at least in the real United States. Children in guardianships have both rights - not the same rights as adults, but rights nonetheless - and the protection of court oversight. They are entitled to their own...
I don't think she actually asks him to stay while he's a Padawan; the attraction between them both is unspoken. In The Clone Wars series, Obi-wan tells her at one point, "If you had said the word, I would have left the Jedi order."
I really want someone to make the point that the whole reason the Jedi Order exists as a martial organization, instead of a bunch of cloistered mystics, is to use their powers to protect people. If they get so caught up in debating what to do that they cannot act when people are in danger right...
This was a fun chapter, although it struck me as kind of odd that so many fighters almost hit him. The sky is a very big place, and a person is a small target. There shouldn't have been that much of a risk unless they were trying to ram him deliberately.
