Star Wars: Episode II is Out and in the News! By Jack, (DT) May 16, 2002 11:51 AM PT |

Jedi Knights have sex after all, according to George Lucas, creator of the characters' hit sci-fi series Star Wars. Speculation that the lightsaber-wielding warriors were supposed to live a monk-like existence has been rife since details of Attack Of The Clones began to leak out. In the new flick Jedi Anakin Skywalker's character shares forbidden love with Queen Amidala, but Lucas says it's romance, rather than hanky panky, which is banned by the Jedi code. He says, "Jedi Knights aren't celibate - the thing that is forbidden is attachments - and possessive relationships." No Jedi Knight has yet been seen with a partner in any of the five Star Wars movies. Editor: That's okay.. it's not like all the Jedi-wannabe Star Wars geeks are getting leid anyway.
Samuel L Jackson watched kung-fu movies to get in the mood to play his character Mace Windu in new film Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones. The super-cool actor imagines the sci-fi series heroes' the Jedi Knights, including Windu, are similar to the Shaolin Monks often featured in Hong Kong action classics. He says, "I actually try and treat my Jedi character like I would imagine most Shaolin monks do, because I watch Hong Kong films a lot. I tend to see a correlation between how they meditate and work and train - and when they become men of action, they become men of very definite action." Editor: I watch Kung-fu movies all the time does that make me a Jedi? Hai-yah! |
