I have asked myself a single question since the very beginning: how would a Jedi fare against a SEAL team? Fine, you block a laser beam, you deflect it. Great. How do you like my 50-cal chain-fed gun? You might sizzle the first round or two, maybe you could force push away the first few, but after that....<br />Now, as to fighting between them and the Bene Gesserit, the sisters would have ZERO compunction about using weapons. Bene Gesserit do whatever works. Against the Honored Matres they also had their own army of at least 2 MILLION men. But even without the latter day army, if you arm fifty witches with m-16's against 50 jedi with light sabers, I'm thinking that the Jedi are meat. I would agree that the Jedi have more offensive capabilities (force push, etc) then the witches have, but the Jedi would be limited, (I think), by their desire to be 'civilized', while the witches would just do whatever the hell gets the job done.HunterSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495494837094104838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504598332261057441.post-8386011754404134402015-04-26T01:18:32.398-04:002015-04-26T01:18:32.398-04:00The Bene Gesserit send a single shielded combatant...The Bene Gesserit send a single shielded combatant to every group of Jedi. Once the laser sword contacts the shield and explosion of nuclear proportions wipes out all combatants in that skirmish.

Morons...like the Jedi would actually lose t...Pfft. Morons...like the Jedi would actually lose to a bunch of drugged-out, chick freaks. Yeah, my favorite parts of the Dune are when Paul builds and destroys the Death Star (after the 'messiah' is burned and rebuilt after a battle with his mentor), when Idaho gets frozen in carbonite and is given to an awsome bounty hunter, and the speeder bike chase in the forest. <br /><br />Whatever. If only Star Wars were just a 12-year-old's rip off of the Dune, the latter's dull and boring story that I wasn't able to finish without a gun to my head might actually share a fraction of the former's popularity...you wish. Lucas didn't rip this crap off...if anything, he saw a boring fucking story and figured he'd make it better...in his style...with different characters...and more worlds...and less drugs..and droids/epic space battle/awesome lighsaber duels...and cooler heroes with a more entertaining prophetic storyline...mixed with other film influences and innovative concepts. Yup. Sounds just like a total 'rip off,' ha. >;)<br /><br />I know, I know...if we just switch knives for laser swords, crazy Jihad folk/Greek muse chicks with drud-induced powers for a Rebel Alliance/mystic, samurai-esque warrior legion with 'divine,' Force abilities that do more than teleport like friggin' X-Men, sandworms for sarlacc. Hey, if only Darth Vader was killed by a sister he never had, created ahis own empire instead of joining one under a Sith Emperor, a kid that transformed into a monster instead of rebuilding an entire order with his twin (never been twins in stories either...oh, except maybe in 'Twins')! And then, maybe King Arthur would show up as captain as the Enterprise, and Gandalf would use Robocop's gun and Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber...well, that't be and awesome fucking movie! People would probably still call it a 'rip off,' though. Let's face it, Dune folks--Star Wars is like cake, Dune is like wheat bread w/ sugar sprinkled on top. They might share some core plot/character concepts (along with LOTR and nearly every other Sci-Fi/Fantasy story written), but let's not try to ca$$$h in on Star Wars' success too hard...it only serves to make Dune look more pathetic in comparison to to freakin' universe that any and everyone who is creative is dying to be a part of! May the Force (not the spice, druggie) be with you!

So i don't know that your argument about droids holds up.<br /><br />Another factor i have never seen addressed is from what point in the series are you plucking the Reverend Mother's? Are they pre-tyrant, after Leto II, of after the absorption of the Honored Matres? The Honored Matres bring further enhancement of speed and reaction time, along with a device that causes bloodless death at a range. <br /><br />Also, if they are post Tyrant Reverend Mother, they would have the Siona gene markers that make them immune to the prescience of other's. Would this make them immune to Jedi precognition?<br /><br />At any rate, Star Wars is a 12 year old's shitty rip off of the Dune series. It is a saga about shaping the evolution of human kind so that NOTHING could cause our extinction. This is done though a skilled and thought full look anf politics, education, religion, tera forming and eugenics. All of these things come together to put a mirror to the face of the human condition. It's a fucking beautiful and thrilling experience all around, and you will think about aspects of man kind you had never even considered. Anyone who hasn't read them should IMMEDIATELY, but stick to the original series by FRANK Herbert, not Brian... hes books read like Star Wars expanded universe crap.<br /><br />Good Day.
