A Still Moment in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Subtitled: Ramblings born of translucence and math.


I sit here in math class, bored to death, (factoring polynomials, jeez) and thinking about how I need to write this blog. I keep putting it off. Bad. I'm also putting off my pre-pro for my final. Bad to the tenth. Anyway. Have nothing better to do, so, here goes. Steel yourselves.
My still is from the Outrider scene in AOTC. I've always found the scene interesting, lots of shiny in it, lots to catch your eye. It is a sample of Coruscant middle-class in a way, condensed. I've always meant to freeze frame through the scene so I could get a better look at the aliens and such, but I haven't. To be perfectly honest, I haven't seen any SW 'cept youtube vids in I-don't-know_how_many_months now, what have I become?
Had I gone through the scene in this way I would have eventually gotten to this scene, and would have stood there with good ol' Ani and Obi saying "nekkid butts, my eyes, my eyes!" C'mon, you think they weren't like "wooow"? I'm thinking Jedi weren't acustumed to hanging out in semi-sleezy bars, or to seeing mostly nekkid women-alien-things. (Does the Jedi Temple have a fully stocked bar? What does Yoda like to drink?) Obi drinks something very blue in this scene if I recall correctly, so I'm guessing drinks-that-make-you-blind weren't on the Code's list of no-nos.
Having made the astute observation that the ladies were scantily dressed, (gotta love the word "scantily"), I turn my attention to Ani's face. Can't see Obi's-(he's looking, you know he's looking). What do think Ani was thinking, rabid hormonal boy that he was? Perhaps he was only thinking of Padme, but I say bah! to that. He was checking 'em out! Cuz you know what, they are guys. Code or no Code. (BTY, can you just see Mace saying "the code's more what you'd call "guidlines"...rofl). Even if Obi-wan was being a good boy, Ani wasn't. So what is the Temple's stance on the Act itself? No attachments, but go have fun? Technically , in my opinion, it's very hard to conceive that none of the several thousand beings in the Temple ever went and "had fun", and these were beings who were brought up to be the absolute end in virtue and caring and love, you can't tell me many of them were even capable of "doing it" without any attachments. Imagine a world without attachments, what point is there in living?
Attachments are formed regardless of any "Code", what of the Master-padawan attachment? What of the attachment of the Jedi to the Republic? Hey, what of the attachment to the Code? That was some serious attachment going on! "No attachments", what stupidness. It was the Council's Attachment with a capital A to the code that got the Jedi killed. So, the Jedi's rule against attachments was an oxymoron from the very start. What a twisted world they lived in.
Well, I'm out of time for the moment, gotta go. The moral to my story, is attachments are everywhere. Cherish your attachments, and let them make you strong.
Would I change anything in the still? Naw, nekkid butts are funny. Ta!
