Ambrose Meleema
by Nefersha Hatshepsut
Nefersha- Wow. It's not every day that an ancient Egyptian gal like me gets to meet a Jedi knight- I have to admit that I'm pretty impressed. Care to tell me what drew you to the force to become a Jedi?
Ambrose- I always thought it was interesting that a Jedi lived a life of personal sacrifice. They willingly give up any chance for a “normal” life; no long lasting relationships, no children, no steady significant others and no love life. That in itself may sound terribly uninteresting to some, but I think it opens whole avenues of exploration of the inner sacrifice and turmoil experienced by a Jedi. After all, Jedi still have feelings, wants and desires the same as any other being in the galaxy. How that Jedi chooses to deal with these experiences however is what’s really interesting to me.
Nefersha- So, my guess is that you've got a fair number of ladies ready to throw themselves at you. I mean, with looks like that and a light saber you must be a pretty hot ticket all over the universe (or at least around Pan). True or am I totally off-base?
Ambrose- No, not really. Sure, I’ve seen a few ladies here and there, nodded to one or two and such. But I hadn’t really noticed any ladies if that’s what you mean. A Jedi’s job is to keep the peace and uphold justice, not go scoping for pretties. Although in your case Lady Nefersha, I could be tempted to make an exception…
Nefersha- *blushes* We'll have to talk about that after the interview. *evil grin* I have to admit that even in Egypt I've heard of Yoda- he's pretty darn cool. Are there any other SciFi characters out there that you think should have been Jedi knights?
Ambrose- Captain Jean-Luc Picard. All he needs are robes, a saber (a green saber in my opinion) and the Force. Picard in my opinion possess all the qualities that a true Jedi should possess; discipline, patience, compassion, integrity and principles. Picard would make an excellent Jedi Master.
Nefersha- Which would you rather be stuck on an isolated planet with- Chewbacca or an Ewok?
Ambrose- Which would I rather be stuck with? Well, I suppose I could answer this question as follows: There is little difference between a big fur ball and a little fur ball – They both smell like wet dog in the rain.
Nefersha- *laughing* All right, Ambrose, anything else you care to add?
