For my part I prefer a Grasshopper to a Padawan, something even a run-in with a condescending Mahayanan couldn't cure.

Call me unenlightened, but I find myself in agreement with Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan the Elder) and Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan the Younger) who said that the Lucas stories are banal and the epitome of tedium.
Not that a tale of a half-Chinese Buddhist monk wandering the American wild west having Kung-Fu battles every week is the height of classicism. Even so, when was the last time you saw marketing for a kid's toy that involved dodging spears or using his bare hands to lift a cauldron filled with hot coals?
