Probably just the touchy feely emotional stuff, since you know, she's a woman.

Vacuuming using only her mind, mother fucker.

I don't know about a Jedi Roomba, but I know that Romba was one of the Ewoks. He was the one that cried over the other dead Ewok in that very touching moment during the battle of Endor.

Ok, I totally turned a joke post into a serious nerd fest. Sorry, my bad. :oops:

I once won a game of Star Wars Trivial Pursuit without missing a question and I didn't even know that. Bravo. :nice:

I only know this useless information because they made a toy of Romba. I have pretty much all of the vintage Kenner figures... just missing a few of the ultra-rare ones.

By the way, Rhomba has a quite extensive Wookiepedia page.

Read an interesting theory about Christensens taking part
Spoiler: show
itll be force ghost Anakin skywalker talking to Luke. Doesn't explain why Christensen would be in training tho unless it's flashback? Also another theory or rumour has it that Disney are desperate to get Vader back on screen so a resurrection of some sort is on the cards. Don't know how that'll work

If that Vader part is true and the people making this are caving to Disney, then this is going to be a shitty movie.

Christensen isn't going to be in this. It's a bullshit rumor.

That I'm not worried about. But if Disney is pushing to get Vader (costume and all, not just Christensen) in one of these movies, I'm worried they don't care at all about the story.

Yeah, that would be moronic. Having the Empire exist at all is already bad enough.

Besides, even though the prequels were God awful, they created a certain popularity in the Darth Maul character. So they certainly don't need Darth Vader to make the new ones more marketable.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Kylo Ren is already a popular character. Especially his dumb lightsaber.

I just wanted to stress my agreement with you, friend. At least have those little side flares angle up and away from the hand or something.

The thing that bothers me most about it is not even cutting off the user's hands. Think about how many times we've seen saber duels get up close and personal, like when Obi-Wan is fighting Darth Maul at the end of Episode I - the sabers get pushed right up against the fighters' chests. If you had Ren's saber in the situation, there's a good chance you would impale yourself.
