First thing Joey said this morning after waking up was, “I slept really good. I had this awesome dream that I defeated a Jedi.”
And I was like, “Aren’t Jedi good guys though?”
“Sometimes they go bad. This one went bad and I defeated him.”
“Did you have a light saber?”
“No. I didn’t need one, I used the Israeli Defense Force’s martial art, Krav Maga.”
“I don’t even know what that is,” I told him.
“It’s like Tae Kwon Do only you use it for street fighting. It’s awesome.” He said.
“That’s weird, ” I said.
Joey rolled over and said, “No, it’s not that weird. Batman uses it in all the new movies.”
I couldn’t help it. I had to laugh. ”So…you’re Batman.”
Joey made a frustrated growling noise and said, “I’m not Batman, I just defeated the Jedi using Krav Maga.”
“I’ve still never heard of that before, I think you made it up. But if Jedis go bad, what’s the point of being Jedi; I thought they were good guys? I would probably go bad if I was a Jedi.”
Joey heaved a large sigh. ”FIRST of all, the plural of Jedi is JEDI; there is no S on it. Second of all, if you became a Jedi you wouldn’t even have to go bad, you’d just go annoying.”
There you have it, Internet. My husband says I’m annoying.
1. When Jedi “go bad” (or go to the dark side) they become Sith, so Joey defeated a Sith.
2. With the Sith, there are always two, a master and his apprentice (not that this is terribly important, but I just thought I’d mention it).
3. I’d probably go annoying too.
Also, I am geeky. Thanks Joey, for helping me make that obvious. Again.
I didn’t know they went Sith first, just because I don’t ever remember Darth Vader being Sith Vader, but I do know that he was apprentice to that really creepy old guy who moved entirely too fast, but I guess in that world, you move faster the older you get b/c look at Yoda, he’s like Lightning McQueen.
Anyway, Krav Maga is super cool and a great workout. I knew a couple of friends who took classes and let me tell you, it was quite a workout for them and they were in ridiculous shape in no time at all.
Now you have me thinking what it would look like if Batman had fought the Sith. hmmm….
BTW, I don’t think you’d be annoying. It takes quite a bit of loss in salvation and humanity to go to the dark side and well, you make some delicious cupcakes that there’s entirely too much goodness within you to make something that tasty!
I thought it was “Jedis” too. And, when Dave talks to me about these kinds of things, sometimes I get Star Wars and Star Trek mixed up. I guess they’re pretty different, in case you weren’t aware.
Okay, time to set the record straight. First, there were as many Sith as Jedi until the Great Sith War approximately 4000 years BBY (that’s Before the Battle of Yavin, in case you were wondering).
Secondly, while there are always now two Sith (one master and one apprentice), we never see them fighting together in the canon (that would be the six movies).
Third, Vader did go Sith first (and indeed, remained a Sith until he turned back to the light side at the end of ROTJ), but “Darth” is a title denoting that one is a Sith.
And Fourth, I really want to try Krav Maga.
Oh, and fifth, I did defeat a Jedi in my dream, but he wasn’t a Sith. He “went bad” from my point of view (apparently I wasn’t on the side of good in this dream). Remember, many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view.
Y’all see what a wierdo he is?!?! I MEAN SERIOUSLY.
Sixth: Your husband is a NERD. I am totally with Jenna. BTW I can also empathize Jenna…. my fiance has a framed map of Middle Earth. It will remain in his office.
Oh, but I do have to add this… I like Batman, and Krav Maga is nothing short of sheer awesomeness. So… uh… yeah. I guess I am a nerd too… or just violent. I do encourage you to burn things on occasion… (like you need encouragement to burn things, huh Jenna?) You decide.
