Thanks for the link E! It was a big help : )
I did not “recognize” the character in the drawing because I am use to Nick Fury from the first Ironman film… Samuel Jackson, and that is the only time I have seen the character.

@ l.a.amaro, I do not really know who Nick Fury is because I do not read Marvel, not really a big fan of their books.

Oh and no I do not think that if I was the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs that I could take them to the Stanley Cup!
And nor do I think that I could really “fix” the prequels : )

I have always loved Obi-Wan even over Han and Luke for me he was the hero of the series.
Ewan was fantastic in the role of young Obi and made it seamless when you “see” Alec Guinness as old Obi, that is if one watches the film in numerical sequence.
I also love Clone Wars cartoon! Best THING EVER! It is a great show with a lot of thought and it has excellent characters, voice actors, writing and animators.
I love the romance shown between Obi and the the Duchess Satine, that is romantic and beautifully done, and I love how they show all the different Jedi ( the females too as Star Wars was very female lacking in the “first three films” and I was let down by that) and telling the stories about some of the clones and the different bounty hunters, Boba Fett has got NOTHING on Cad Bane.
Now as for the idea of Obi having an affair with Padame, I am sorry but that is just as jank of an idea as the prequels you all seem to rage against. That is SO out of Obi’s character, and it was bad enough that Anakin thought that was what going on in the first place when he and Obi had their first big lightsaber showdown, or did you forget that?
The prequels should have focused on the Ani and Obi’s friendship, and adventures and the reasons why Ani became so swayed by the dark side and why he came to despise all that he had be taught in regards to the dark side of the force. And why the Jedi council fell apart.
I do think that Ani and Padame’s love plays a part of the story but it should have been a side story and not the focus.
I have to say that I am a tad tired of hearing StarWars fans whinge about the prequels and George Lucas. It is HIS idea to begin with and if he did not have that idea in the first place you would not have Luke, Leia and Han to love so much.
The movies are done and complete and like it or not it is George Lucas’ dream, not ours, so take the good with the bad per se and love it warts and all because I think that the good out weighs the bad in all six films.
When ever I hear the complaints about the prequels it always reminds me of people who think that they can/could/ would coach their favourite team to the Stanley Cup, or the World Cup if they were in charge.

Obi-Wan and Padme! Radical, but I like it. Now that would have really driven Anakin over the edge.

Yeah, McGregor was pretty good in those movies. I remember when the prequels came out, my dad remarked how he had obviously studied Obi-wan in the original movies, because he had Guinness’ mannerisms down pat.

I don’t want to harp, but it all comes down to Lucas’s bad writing and direction as well as some technical decisions (like abandoning real life sets). Actually his ego and the fear he instills on-set is likely the biggest detriment.

But back on topic, Ewan was easily the best part of the Prequels. I actually wanted Obi-Wan to have an affair with Padme by the end of the series, continuity be damned. I mean the prequels were one big bad fanfic anyways, right? So who cares?

My son LOVES “Clone Wars,” and I have to say that it’s pretty darn good. I’ve watched it with him on several occasions.

Ya’ know what is really sad? At least to me. If you want the TV “Clone Wars” the stories are so good. The writing is good the characters are interesting. I keep thinking that if this team had made the prequels, well we might like them. More even.

If only the movies had been as good as he was.
