Line 167:
So badass it actually got ''two'' weapons, a spiky club and a tear gas, named after it. It thus can be an incredibly tough-sounding name for both men and women, and so can certain sound-alikes such as "mason"--after all, it's somebody who ''cuts rocks.'' On the other hand, "Macy" isn't a good, tough name, as naming tough people after department stores is a no-no.

Given that he beat Sidious in a lightsaber duel, is one of the only Jedi to freely draw upon anger, aggression, and dark wide of the force, has torn apart droids with his bare hands and is played by '''[[Samuel L.
