"These are not the 'Droids you're looking for." Obi-Wan Kenobi
"...any ad which quotes what I said on Sunday is a falsehood." Newt GingrichOh, good Lord
Folks, please bear with me for a moment.
This is the planet Coruscant...
This is where the Jedi Temple is located.
Now, if your are going to employ, as Newt Gingrich attempted on Fox the other day, a Jedi Mind Trick, then there are two very important facts that most non-Jedi Knights seem to forget.
Rule Number One of Jedi Mind Tricks: Jedi Mind Tricks work only on the weak willed.
Lot of people forget Number One.
Recall in Phantom Menace when Liam Neeson tried a Jedi Mind Trick on that flying dude.
Didn't work.
Why?
Because Liam Neeson was a crappy Jedi Knight?
Hardly. He trained Obi-Wan Kenobi, making him an exceptionally gifted Jedi Knight.
Flying dude wasn't weak willed.
Even Yoda couldn't have Mind Tricked that dude.
Jedi Mind Tricks work reliably only on Imperial Storm Troopers or Fox News Viewers.
But Rule Number One of Jedi Mind Tricks isn't forgotten nearly as often as Rule Number Two.
Rule Number Two of Jedi Mind Tricks: You have to have JEDI TRAINING to use Jedi Mind Tricks reliably.
Or at least Sith Lord Training.
Without training, even if The Force is strong in you, it will be a crap shoot every time you employ a Jedi Mind Trick.
And as Mr. Gingrich demonstrated, when you use The Force improperly the results can be catastrophic.
So unless you have visited Coruscant, which is the closest planet to Earth where formal Jedi Training is offered (okay, to be accurate... WAS offered...) then you probably don't have any Jedi Training, and your Mind Tricks won't work even on the Weak Willed.
The Force is weak in you, Newt Grinch-walker.
I would like to add that not only is Liam Neeson a phenomonal jedi, he also trained Batman to be a Ninja. That makes him doubly awesome.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. The Force, and whatnot, is very strong in Mr. Neeson.
