Perhaps that is the way of the Dark Side. It seems that the Force is related in concept to the Tao (pronounce T as ( T + D ) / 2 ) -- the fundemental rule of power then would be ``don't just DO something! Stand there.'' -- although seeking POWER would also be contrary to the ways of the Force. Regarding the suggestion that Luke ``Son of Skywalker'' is the most powerful of all the Jedi -- maybe, if we exclude the Emperor. Once again, I say that the final battle between Luke and old Orange-Eye was just TOO physical. I could have bought it if he just STOOD and threw sparks, but having him chase Luke around like he was trying to punish a bad puppy was not really believable. And, yes, I think that the M. Falcon really should have been destroyed ... but by showing that Han lacks the gift of prophecy we can discredit him forever (I hope) as being an unaware Jedi. Mark Terribile Duke of deNet
