Can we get this thread merged into the Funny/Cool thread? Just for kicks.

Captain, thank you for calling out what is amongst the worst and most unintentionally ironic lines in all of the prequel trilogy. If anything, only the Jedi deal in absolutes.

"Do or do not, there is no try."

"We're not soilders, we're keepers of the peace."

"Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny".

And even the line itself "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." So instead of trying to talk your supposed best friend our of turning himself and the galaxy evil, you hear his position and then try to kill him for it.

Hilarious.

I always said that the Jedi were the true villians in the Galaxy Far Far Away.

The Sith were victimized by the Jedi for merely practicing their religion.

That's why the best line in the trilogy was Palpatine stating that good and evil were merely a point of view, don't get caught up in the lies of the narrow minded dogmatic Jedi.

I'm quite rusty on my Star Wars knowledge but wasn't the lightsaber colour totally up to chance? Or could it be built and tweaked to give a certain colour?

Originally it was.

That's too bad, I'd prefer that it was kept a totally random thing.

Do you want the SW nerd explanation or the real one?

In Episode IV: A New Hope, both Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber and Anakin Skywalker's old lightsaber are blue, while Darth Vader's lightsaber is red. This functions as simple color coding to tell the good guys apart from the bad guys, much like the lasers from Imperial ships are green while the lasers from Rebellion ships are red.
In Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker constructs a new lightsaber. This was also meant to be blue, and appears as such in early trailers and posters for the film. However, it was changed to green to create a better color contrast during the scenes on Tatooine. This purely functional change both set Luke's lightsaber apart from the one he inherited from his father and opened the door for
