TV-Commentary - Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Episode III
Do Obi Wan, Qui Gong, Anakin want to be girls?
Isn't there something just the smallest bit odd about the fact that Obi Wan and Qui Gong have ponytails in The Phantom Menace, and Anakin has one in Attack of the Clones?

Only women have ponytails; do you think these Jedi want to be girls? Do you think Anakin is pursuing Padme not for her love but for her elaborate makeup accessories?

They don't want to be girls, it's just that if you are a Padawan boy you have to wear a ponytail and a braid. Anakin and Obi Wan wore them because they had to. And Qui Gon wanted to.

I don't know who you are, but way to tell the idiot off concernong his stupid question. Which is simply on in many.

Where did you get such a mind-numbingly MORONIC notion that a ponytail is a girl only thing? Seriously, where? Men have been wearing ponytails for centuries. Are you retarded? I dare you to go to a gym, find the first weightlifter you see with one and ask him if he wants to be a girl because of it. Id like to see you try that. In fact say it loud enough so the entire gym can hear it. Maybe there will be another guy or two whod like to answer your question. Did your mother eat paint chips while expecting you then drop you repeatedly as a baby? Did you work hard all your life to be so completely and utterly stupid or does it come to you naturally?

nah. just because obi-wan had that braid just to show the symbol of a padawan leaner so he was forced(any way his padawan braid was soo cute) and qui-gon just had his hair that way because he liked it just because your a guy and you have long hair dos'nt mean you wanna be a girl.

It isen't a thing about wanting to be girls..when you are in training to be a Jedi, Jedi Knight..too even a Jedi Master you have to become a Padawan first, and those were the rules , when you were a Padawan you must have short hair with a long braid..thats all.

pony tails and braids gave it a kind of mythological feel..celtic warriors and knights had ponytails..it was just jedi tradtion for padawans to have braids..

Atleast they don't wear flare pants b/c that would be.... and come on ponytails aren't as bad my prof. has a ponytail.


       aliciaskywalker posts on 7/4/2005 8:44:36 AM

All jedi padawans have ponytails, I don't know why. Qui-Gon (notice there is no G) just has long hair. Plenty of men have long hair.


       Mercyless posts on 6/16/2005 3:12:29 PM

Qui Gong? Dude, I have to learn how to spell. And I was kidding about the Qui Gon thing, it's just the style that he likes.


       Ithorian posts on 6/11/2005 10:29:56 AM

Mercyless was right. They are padawan ponytails. But I don't know a Qui Gon.


       Mercyless posts on 5/30/2005 10:54:51 AM

The ponytial that Obi has is a padawan ponytail. Part of the jedi code is that padawans must wear them. Qui-Gon just liked the style or somethin. Maybe he was a hippie before a jedi...
