Discovering Star Wars

[hidden_jedi]

Kale has discovered the Star Wars movies. It's amazing what you learn about while talking to people in the Nexus. In good order he found copies of the movies (original release for the last three episodes) as well as other related Star Wars media, like the Knights of the Old Republic video games and Expanded Universe books. But it was the movies he wanted to deal with first. It took him a few minutes to figure out the DVD players. There were multiple ones.

After a bit of experimentation and a quick run to the kitchen for snacks, he settled down to watch Episode one: The Phantom Menace.

About half way through, he started to laugh hysterically.

Physical contact is a good thing for Kale. He and Trever were always very contacty.

"Huh. He must not have been... or Qui-Gon was wrong."

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

Tobias has never been too touchy for the most part. But he might be concerned if he thought he was a replacement for Trever.

"Or Qui-Gon and I are both right."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

And perhaps a little creeped out. But it's probable that he doesn't realize that's what he's doing or he's not doing it at all.

"How can that be?"

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

Would be just a tad disturbed, yes. But he doesn't know so right now he's just going to enjoy the snuggling.

"The Force is always trying to keep itself in balance. And sometimes, maybe it gets so out-of-balance that it just needs someone to correct it. A champion. A 'Chosen One'."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Snuggling and almost on the lap there.

"So, there isn't 'A' Chosen one, but instead it's more like a title or role created when needed?"

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

Well, that's interesting.

"Maybe. Or maybe I'm just talking out my arse; there are so many theories on the Force that you could never know for sure."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? But cuddly too.

"It sounds intelligent, so I won't tell anyone."

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

Yes, very cuddly.

"Heh. Thanks."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Kale frowns, staring at the screen. "Jar Jar Binks... Jar Jar Binks. Where have I heard that name before?"

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

"Don't know. Maybe he's an important figure in your time?" Though looking at the Gungan it wouldn't seem like it.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"I feel like I should know him..." No, it doesn't look like he would be important. They're going to be sorely disappointed

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

"Maybe we'll figure out why later?" he offers, rubbing Kale's shoulder a little. "We still have several vids to go through."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"I hope so. Or else this is going to be bothering me until I figure it out." The shoulder rubbing gets a soft pleased sigh.

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

He chuckles softly. "I get the feeling we're going to be seeing quite a bit of him, so they'll probably explain it."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"He looks like comic relief. Perhaps that's what he's therefor." That still doesn't negate that nagging feeling.

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. Don't worry, we'll figure it out eventually." A little more shoulder rubbing.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, shoulder rubbing. Good stuff that. He munches on the snack food and then throws some of it when Anakin comes on screen. "Oh come on, no one can be that good."

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

He snatches Kale's throwing hand. "No reason to waste food on him. Besides, it's the writer's interpretation of him. People used to portray Revan and I as shining beacons of Light and goodness too."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Aww... Tobias mustn't be much of a vid watcher. Or at least not Kale's style of vid watcher, where throwing food is perfectly acceptable way of showing displeasure. "Shining beacons of Light and Goodness?" He does not giggle.

Okay, maybe a little.

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

Tobias is just not much of a food-thrower. He outgrew that a long while back. He grins and ruffles Kale's hair. "Don't laugh, it's the truth. 'Commander Revan and General Tobias Donn, saviors of the galaxy.' That's what we were to people."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Bah. Food throwing is ALWAYS acceptable. "I wasn't laughing," he says indigently. "Merely expressing my disbelief."

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

Suuuuure it's always acceptable... "Now why's that so hard to believe?"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"I suppose because you and Revan hardly seem like the type. And it gives me a rather silly picture in my mind." If Tobias were to look, he would see himself and Revan dressed in white with lightsabers in cheesy superheroic poses.

[force-killer.livejournal.com]

"We were young - about your age - and idealistic back then, and full of half-learned Jedi wisdom." He does look, and maybe giggles a little himself. "Try in armor. That'd be closer."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"So you also thought of yourselves as shinning beacons of light?" There's a slight swat at the peaking. But armor does show up. It's very shiny.
