I guess that might depend on what kind of flaws he was talking about... Character flaws I understand (and enjoy) as part of the story... what I find (slightly) annoying are inconsistencies in the story -- like -- the force allows me to move objects at a distance -- their mass is irrelevant, intervening objects are irrelevant... But a small number of not especially large objects clinging to the surface of my ship (buzz-bots) is a life-or-death problem that's completely out of my control. Throughout the last film it seemed to me they went out of their way to make sure the Jedi never used their powers when most appropriate/desirable. There were several times in the last fight with Grievous in which Kenobi could have likely ended the fight quickly by using the force to grab up any given weapon nearby and not ended up hanging over the side of that ledge by his fingernails. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:161315 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
