I suppose by now, some of you are aware of this GEONOSIS DROID FACTORY and if you're reading this you are already offended!!! :angry:

he didn't make much of an effort to cover up this obvious naming task failure...
first the angel remark in TPM, now this. What's with all the religeous earth references? if GEONOSIS doesn't have a really good alternative justification for it's naming 5 minutes after it's first mentioned, I'll be looking for the nearest EXODUS! dry.gif

Chefy, feel free to use that in your 20,000,000 reasons to hate Ep3.

EDIT
I just realized, this is the place we saw in EP2, I just didn't catch the name of it before now!!! (yes, I could have edited my post to fix it, but I liked my Exodus joke to much in it's context!!!

The immaculate conception was total crap. It pushed the question of "what the hell is the force?" even further back.

It's an energy field, created by all living things ... it surrounds us, penetrates us, binds the galaxy together.

And you can access it by having the right number of force-savvy microbes in your blood (why can't people just blood dop this stuff into force insensitives? wht don't we farm dead Jedi for their blood (oh yeah ... because they dissolve) ?) Also, when you have enought of these midichlorians around, sometimes you can just get pregnant, like, out of thin air.

Weren't you watching the movie, Jordan???!!!

I liked it a lot better when the force was all mystical. Now there is really no good reason why you can't just get a "Force Vaccine" that will immunize you against NOT being able to lift up rocks using your mind.

I agree. I was under the impression that it was some sort of mystical discipline that anyone, if they practiced hard enough, could achieve.

The OT gave more hints that the force is a mystical field that surrounds certain people. I assumed that these people were nothing to special, just devote followers of the practice.

But with Luke having a strong affinity towards it from his fathers side- this made the force a genetic trait, passed down from generation to generation.

If it is a genetic trait, then every other generation would be inherently weaker.

But then we get the immaculate conception in the PT.

It seems like the Force is now some sort of God Head, which has more control over the JEDI than the Jedi have control over it. Shmi was not a Jedi, she did not choose to get pregnant, but she did. The force did not tell her why she was pregnant, she did not even question it. She essentially was raped.

It's a mystical force that travels in the spiritual realm, then attaches it's self to peoples blood.

I don't get it. It's rather sloppy.

just a couple of thoughts I'd like to add:

1. Geonosis was just stupid...PERIOD! The action was childish and amateur,
with NO tension or drama at all. Who cares that a bunch of dorky looking
Jedi who we've never seen before start dying to a bunch of robots.
And destroying a robot isnt very fun to watch. Watching a stroomtrooper
die on the other hand is much better. At least its a human (or clone).
A LITTLE FACT
The whole Geonosis scene was shot after principal photography was already completed...and it shows.

2. The virgin birth (from episode I)

I dont know why, but I was under the impression that Shmi knew what
had happened but didnt want to fess up to it.
She was probably drunk off her knocker or something. Go back
and watch it again... you'll know what I'm talking about.
when Qui-Gonn asks her who was the father, she hesitates forever
and studders her lame excuse "um, um...I dont know what happened,
there was no father". Yeah right, of course you dont know what happened,
because you were passed out on the floor of some dorm room on tatooine.
Then Qui-Gonn stares at her like if he's ready to smack the ignorance
out of her.
