Raiméis

Time for just one more tonight.
I was scouring through my domain earlier, trying to delete a lot of old shit which is taking up space on my server when I found some of my earliest blog posts. This post may or may not be my first but it was definitely one of the earliest posts from when I started blogging about a year before Raiméis was born for the first time (2003), back in the days when my blog was simply called “Weblog”. And actually I think I originally called these first posts “scribs” as I wasn’t so familiar with weblogs back then. Here’s that post, spelling mistakes n’ all:

SW E1 – Wrong Jedi
Any Star Wars fans out there? Quite a few i’m sure! I wouldn’t class myself as a fan but I have to admit I enjoyed SW Episode 1 and 2. Maybe its the special effects, the array of interesting characters, the fight sequences which I always enjoy or perhaps the cool, calm presence of the jedi warriors.

One thing disappointed me though, Obi-figgin-wan Kenobi! They chose the wrong actor! You’ll remember (those of you who have seen E1) Liam Neeson as 60 year old Qui-gon Jinn and Ewan McGregor as 20 year old Obi-wan Kenobi, Qui-gon’s apprentice? Well in my opinion they chose the wrong actor to continue in the films as Obi-wan!

Liam Neeson was excellent as Qui-gon, as an actor he is way ahead of Ewan McGregor but unfortunatly it is the lessor actor who gets to play one of the epics most important Jedi! Think of Star Wars you think of Yoda, Darth Vader and Obi-Wan! An important character.

Liam and Ewan together in E1 were excellent, they complimented each other perfectly. Liam is a tall striking person with amazing screen presence and the smaller, less obvious Ewan looked well as his young apprectice! But Ewan doesn’t grow in character for E2, he just grows a beard!

In reality there could be no other way, Qui-gon must die for Obi-wan to continue in the film and take Anakin Sywalker as his apprectice! Disapponiting though because E2 lacks the Jedi presence which Qui-gon gave to E1. In truth Ewan was disappointing, he’s a very weak Jedi. The force was not strong in this one!

Yoda’s antics and Samual L Jacksons performance do make up for it in some way but it just ain’t enough. Bring back Qui-Gon Jinn!!!

Obi-Wan:: Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future…
Qui-Gon:: Future? What the f*** does Yoda know, i’m gonna get wasted at the end of this scene!

Over 4 years on the go, doesn’t time fly when you’re … em … talking shite on d’internet.
