June 4[edit]

Sounds familiar... Pink Floyd[edit]

Right after the words "as you claw the thin ice..." come 4 major (I think) chords. This sounds very familiar from elsewhere, some non Pink Floyd famous stuff. Can anyone help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by אילן שמעוני (talk • contribs) 12:27, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As it's the end of that track it segues into the next one. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 13:47, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While true, it's not non Pink Floyd אילן שמעוני (talk) 13:57, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars - Jedi in love[edit]

Why is it forbidden for Jedi Knights to have romantic love? 86.130.115.252 (talk) 20:38, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's part of the Jedi Code. Dismas|^(talk) 20:55, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But is that information canonical? Does the question even derive from a premise that's canonical? --69.159.60.83 (talk) 18:44, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to that linked Wookiepedia Jedi Code article's Citation 4, which links to another entry on that site, it's from a canonical novel. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 5.66.223.127 (talk) 18:56, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dialog in Episodes 2 & 3 makes it clear that love for Jedi is forbidden. In Episode 2, Anakin plays some semantic gymnastics (or simply bad dialog): "Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is essential to a Jedi's life. So you might say, that we are encouraged to love." Staecker (talk) 18:59, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Jedi are sort of a religious group right? Like space monks who keep the peace. See Celibacy. Lots of people think you can't be devoted to your religion and another person. Or something like that. Or maybe a wizard did it ;) SemanticMantis (talk) 13:56, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See also “Why do the Jedi insist on the concept of ‘No Attachment’?” and “SW prequel Yoda: ‘Attachment leads to jealousy, the shadow of greed, that is’. What does this line mean?”, both questions at Science Fiction & Fantasy SE. – b_jonas 21:54, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Darth Vader fell in love, and look how that turned out. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:12, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but that could just be due to the Jedi response. Iapetus (talk) 20:04, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What if two Jedis were romantically attracted to each other? 86.130.115.252 (talk) 18:23, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They should stop being Jedis. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:26, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
