The thoughts that kept me up last night were thoughts that kept me up for nights and nights when I was nine years old.
So, there's a scene in The Phantom Menace, you know that film that marked the beginning of the end of the Star Wars franchise, anyway, there's a scene where Qui-Gon Jinn rolls a dice in front of Watto, that flying bug guy. Basically, if the dice stops on red, Qui-Gon Jinn gets to save Anakin's mom, and if it lands on blue, he gets to take poor, poor, terrible child actor Jake Lloyd.
Watto rolls the dice, and Schindler, I mean Qui-Gon, uses his Jedi mind power to stop the dice on blue. He saves Anakin, but this also means that Anakin has to leave his mother for ever. God bless Jake Lloyd's heart, he really tried to cry, and the scene looked like it was supposed to be super sad.
WHY COULDN'T QUI-GON STOP THE DICE IN THE MIDDLE OF BLUE AND RED AND SAVE THEM BOTH??? HE'S A JEDI FOR JABBA'S SAKE!!!!
This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night...
