TKD_McGee Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 How about Art of War? Samuari code, die by the sword, fall on your sword.. They always play up the japanese as being invinsible. They were pretty mean and brutal but not invinsible. There was a good show on History Channel last night about Japanese and British fighting in Burma, you should have seen that. Do unto others, as they done to you.

Lau gar Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 anyone read the new episode 2 book may the force be with you blue belt Lau Gar Kung fu"know your enemy"
Phantasmatic Posted May 10, 2002 Author Posted May 10, 2002 I am going to wait until I see the movie so I can compare the book and the movie. I think that the movie is going to be better for me because George Lucas and all of the designers have a much more broad imagination then I do. You just can't get all the looks and feel of Star Wars from readin it. "Which one is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi Wan Kenobi
