Warsie: We have the Force.
Ringer: That is NOT a plus. Mystical blah-blah-blah.

~o~

Warsie: Obi-Wan sacrificed himself for his friends, was a great warrior, and a teacher of the Chosen One.
Ringer: What a spectacular teacher he was! His first pupil turned to the 'Dark Side', his second pupil had no more brains than a pin! He was also a liar. Gandalf sacrificed himself for his friends, was a great warrior, a great teacher, AND he told the truth!

~o~

Warsie: The Death Star's explosion.
Ringer: Gandalf's fireworks.

~o~

Warsie: The Jedi are for the good of all.
Ringer: The good guys in Lord of the Rings don't need commissions. They just do it.

~o~

Warsie: Palpatine transferred his spirit from one body to another.
Ringer: Classic comic-book death. Annoying, repetitive, and improbable.
Warsie: Gandalf was resurrected!
Ringer: That's different: Eru sent him back.
Warsie: I just can't win, can I?
Ringer: Nope!
