-> JE>In certain books and even in the movies, Luke could have gotten hi
-> JE>out of a great many problems by just levitateing, why didn't he?
->
-> Two answers: 1) It would shorten the story.
-> 2) Too easy.
-> Well, actually, the real reason would be that using ALL of your
-> talents in battle takes a certain amount of practice (that's why you
-> see martial arts students doing "kataas", a series of attacks and
-> defenses, to practice/program the flow of moves). As Luke hasn't had
-> all that much practice fighting, it may just not have occurred to him
-> to do so. And he needs a Master to push him to "practice his
-> weaknesses", something missing often.
->
-> JE>And if Jedi can levitate rocks and droids, then why didn't
-> Palpatine use JE>some kind of levitation to save him self when he
-> was falling to his
-> JE>death?
->
-> Can we say *SHOCK*? To have this awesomely powerful SLAVE who has
-> been kissing his whatever for years precipitously jump up and throw
-> him in a hole while he's throwing around the powers of the universe?
-> I would be taken somwhat aback myself. =}
->
-> JE>I hope you guys can answer that one.
-> JE>OH and, one other thing, in ROTJ, in the seen on the 2nd death
-> star when
-> JE>Luke grabs his light saber and trys to kill Palpatine, Why didn't
-> JE>just use the force and flip the saber on, and turn it a little to
-> JE>him in half? That would have been alot easier then turning around,
-> JE>grabbing the thing with the force, turning it on, and then attacki
-> JE>Alot quicker to.
->
-> Luke is still, at this point, a manual kinda guy and he was working
-> from rage AND Palpatine had his full attention on Luke. If Luke HAD
-> sent the light sabre to do it, it would have been a simple task for
-> the Emperor to turn the digus to slice/dice Luke.
->
-> * SLMR 2.1a * Replying doesn't take so much time as choosing a
