Didn't Carry Fisher go braless for Episode IV? I think I saw some slideshow from Cracked about it.

Lucas had her strap down with electrical tape, so the story goes. "There's no jiggling in the Empire."

Well, she wasn't in the Empire by then. Obviously you can jiggle all you want on Jabba's Pleasure Barge.

There's no water on Tatooine, though. Continuity ERROR.

@Love:

Judging how strong Force users are effectively at the mercy of whatever "side" is calling to them, to the point of creating deep personality disorders, detachment may have been found out to be at least an achievable medium.

Reminds me of that one cutscene in TOR where flirting with a female Jedi either confuses her or she doesn't even notice it. Thought she was going to go far.

The most important addition any Jedi Order needs is a decent therapist or fifty so they can talk over their issues instead of turning into walking time bombs.

but HOW?

[up]Yeah, I was wondering if the Jedi Order, Old or New, had any Jedi therapists, psychologists, or anybody skilled in psychological help if only to help transition children and teenagers into becoming a Jedi. The adults would need some help in their life, too.

Hell, I would accept Republic psychological personnel living at the Temple, just normal dudes and chicks providing help. Jedi are still people.

Yoda tried to fulfill that role in Episode 3.

Jedi are supposed to be the therapists. They're just...not great at it.

[up][up][up]I kinda wonder sometimes if normal therapists would work all that well- the Force gives one a rather unique way of viewing the world, and it would probably help to share that- but at the very least, they'd be better than nothing.

Yoda was a good enough therapist. Anakin just didn't want to accept his advice.

Yoda's advice is basically "Death is a natural part of life, but you need to learn to move on."

Anakin didn't want to move on.

Good therapy isn't just having the right idea. Good therapy is being able to communicate properly, to get your patient to trust and open up to you and doing the same in return. Yoda's heart may have been in the right place, but I feel he wasn't the right person at all for Anakin to talk to.

but HOW?

They're known for being good mediators, which does involve some similar skills, and priests of a sort (ditto), but the problem is they don't really permit deviation from the Jedi way within the Jedi— they're generally better advisors for people who aren't Jedi, and for people who are devout Jedi themselves, but the way Jedi are supposed to be raised almost from birth means they have a seriously hard time dealing with crises of faith, since those aren't really supposed to happen.

[up][up][up]To be fair, Anakin live a life where things were taken away from him: first is freedom when he was a boy, them is mother years later and now is wife would be taken away, yoda advice sound good but for him is pretty much "deal with it"

Which, for the record, is literally the worst advice to tell anyone with mental issues ever.

Yoda's advice was "let go", not "deal with it".

Easier said than done, and amounting to much the same thing to someone in Anakin's state of mind.

Also, the issue here is that Anakin broke a rule and he know it, Yoda is giving an advice as any other jedi with doubt, not to someone who already broke the rules, that change things a little bit.

Anakin was in a position where he felt like he couldn't talk about his problems completely openly. Yoda could only do so much.

In The Clone Wars, Ahsoka finds herself in a similar situation, and even goes to Yoda for help... but since she's not lying about a secret marriage, the whole problem is solved in one episode.

So, titles aside, you guys got any juicy Episode VIII rumors for me?

Like, it's pretty safe to assume Lando is going to be in it, right? Has Billy Dee Williams let anything slip?

Is that a Wocket in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
