favorite jedi character

[grandadmiralbeck]

who yoda, or bindo.

[Isamu]

bindo

[strike23]

idk, he had alot of good points about love and things like that.

[rebel82785]

Bindo was a very wise force user, but we never saw him as a jedi... but then again this is about favorites and he left the order for his thoughts.

[aNaRcHiSt44]

In regards to whether certain people were trying to prove either their favorite or best, is it not possible that the reason that the particular Jedi is their favorite is that the Jedi is the best or strongest in their eyes?

Yes but this is not about discussing why they are the best in your view, even if it consequents from that one being their favourite. I have a special word in mind that I really think I shouldn't be stealing from Enceladus, but I think he will understand; TOPIC. As I said, this topic is not about discussing why they are the best, but just merely stating your favourite. Actually, in the last post of yours, it seems that your statement contradicts that, but whatever.

If people actually want to know the real reason why I chose Qui-Gonn, it's because he was deeply wise and refused to be accepted on to the Jedi Council even after numerous requests which hints at a more quiet and unwilling-to-be-noticed persona.

There is nothing that specifically prevents people from discussing why they consider certain Jedi to be better than others, as that can still have an impact upon their choice of a favourite.  As such, this thread is on topic.  If the thread starter just wanted people to vote for a favourite, he would have set it to no replies.

Does it matter if someone left the order, as long as they were a member of the order at some point in their life?  If someone cant be considered as a Jedi if they leave the order, that would also exlude Anakin, Revan, and many others.

as long as it is about jedi characters, it really is on topic

But people seem to think that because you must pick your favourite it must degenrate into arguments. I dont care if they say why they think it's their favourite, but it seems rather odd to argue about how your favourite is the best; it shows that people really can't accept the views of others when they are flatly opposing people who peacefully state their reasons for choosing a person, which results in the malignantly arrogant opposer believing that they have to dispute that person's claim by pointing out their favourite's bad points and re-enforcing the good points of their character, which is also biased arguing. So basically, you can say you think yours is the best, but saying they are when a person says they think theirs is the best just for the sake of making your character look good and hence yourself really degrades people in my eyes. Which is what is happening. Needless arguing in a poll is not justified by the thread, hence when I say TOPIC it should naturally apply. Malevolent intruders indeed; feeding off the poor people who merely tried to claim they liked a person like parasitic leeches; it disgusts me.

As long as it is civil and constructive, there is no reason why people cant debate the strengths and weaknesses of different Jedi.  I dont see anyone "flatly opposing" others views, or being "malignantly arrogant" in the way you describe (apart from your post just now, where you are arguing that your opinion on the topic-ness of the thread is right).  On the contrary, i see people debating the inclusion of former Jedi in the poll (such as those that left, or fell to the dark side), and the pros/cons of certain characters' personalities.

Heated argument/flaming is not justified, but peaceful discussion and debate is certainly within the bounds of the topic.  As such, this thread is on topic (apart from this disagreement over the bounds of the topic itself), and i would appreciate it if everyone could kindly ensure it stays that way.

whoa.
red typing exaggerates the "wallotext" effect.

[Isamu]

i can't even read it

[grandadmiralbeck]

ok i only started this thread so people could talk about the jedi and have constructive arguments. everything has been fine and nothing has been off-topic except for the people who have said it was off-topic. and stop with the red text

[rebel82785]

anarchist:

I apologize for apparently offending you with offering my lowly opinion of characters as i see them.  The reason was not to bash anyone else's opinion but to present reasons why some other popular Jedi( and former Jedi) were not my favorite as to give some actual points to open constructive discussion on not only which Jedi is someone's favorite, but why.  I guess i should have just opened a new thread huh?

[Re4_wesker]

Qui-Gon. He found the true path of the force. thats good enough for me. 8)

[Isamu]

thats true ill go with that.

[aNaRcHiSt44]

Dont worry rebel82785; I am a very moralistic person, and I despise such wrongs so much that I lash out without coherent thought. Your post wasn't offensive, but I digress.

Slornie, I thought they were. I was so smitten with mindlessness that I was derived of proper judgement. If they impose their characters upon others and argue with them when this is about their favourite character then I will go up in flames of a hallowed abyss attempting to devour all emnity and contemptuous thoughts and words and people.

I really show off my knowledge of language don't I? Sorry....but I have to keep in touch.
Oh and...sorry about the red writing, but considering I prefer it, I will use it when I wish.

[Isamu]

use it for one or two sentences no more than that

[Enlil]

I'm the only one to go with Anakin at the moment...  He had some much potential, so much going for him, damn shame.

[Meyer]

I also like Anakin. but there are so many to choose from. and only one must be selected.

[Isamu]

in the end, anakin failed that is why i did not choose him.
