Too much time on your hands......

Here’s a spot to post your meandering thoughts and great epiphanies, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem (or be)! :lol:

In Star Wars: Episode 2, during the huge arena fight, the Jedi Windu Mace (Samuel L. Jackson) engages Jango Fett on the balcony. He is soon attacked by droids and then Jango fires on him with.....a FLAME THROWER! I always wondered, why such a primitive attack? Then it hit me! Jedi Master or not, you can’t block a stream of flame with a light saber! Mace was blocking every laser blast from the droids, but a stream of flame....nope! Had to run! Now I get it! :biggrin:

Oh, and in that same fight, Mace later beheads Jango Fett on the field. Next time you watch that scene (if you ever do), watch closely during the beheading. You’ll notice the shadow of the helmet on the ground as the head comes off. You can actually see the shadow split as the head slides out of the helmet and goes one way, and the helmet goes another. Just thought I’d share that with ya! :lol:
 
You have a highly convoluted brain, my friend. (That's why I like you so much.)

Also, thanks for the tip about not being able to block a stream of flame. You may have helped avert a serious disaster.

That really cracked me up!!

Darn light sabers aren't all that after all huh!! :lol:
 
Now Keltin why would the head and helmet go in different directions? I've cut a lot of different things with my swords from water filled milk bottles to bamboo and even with water filled milk bottles the water follows the part separated from the base of the bottle. In other words it goes the direction of the cut not back at me. :huh:

Lucas says it was done to show that the helmet was empty when the young Boba Fett picks the helmet up later. It seems they thought it a bit too gruesome to have the child pick up his Dad's head (although he had to see the head lying about on the field???). But in the end, it was such a subtle touch that it is often missed.....so now it's just trivia! :lol:

If you have the DVD, jump to that scene and watch the shadow on the ground. Personally, I figure a helmet should fit snugly, so I never imagined the head would pop out. :w00t:
 
Well I know you are close to me in age so you sure remember Dick Butkis playing against Fran Tarkenton and knocking off his helmet. He said he dreamed his head was still in it. He hated Tarkenton for some reason but wanted his head mounted on his wall. :dizzy:

I think it's for the same reason that lake water tastes so good - fish #&*@ in it

Follow the rules! If you fart in the water, paddle as fast as you can AWAY from the bubbles so you don't get blamed. Same rules apply in public...........walk away with a innocent face.:whistling: Wish i could see the face of the person that walks in my wake..........
:eek2:

I was always taught that you walk away looking around sniffing as if to say, "Ewwww...who did that..." :lol:
