And we also got it in other forms -- the fact that she could memorize encyclopedias ala Johnny 5 (from Short Circuit) and that she could fight like mad. I think the idea was that she was genetically perfect more than divinely perfect, really (hence the Diva's line about how "She's weaker than you think").

I know A New Hope was released in 1977, that's why I said "except A New Hope"? Is except the wrong word? Maybe I shoulda said "with the addition of A New Hope" I don't know, I'm no English majer.
And yes beauty is easier to show, which is why they shoulda gone the wisdom route. I'm betting Jeses was physically perfect, being the Son of the Almighty and all, but his teachings were emphasized. It's just the harder thing to do, like a good story with little action rather than a lot of action with little story, because there are others more beautiful than Milla. Like Gillian.

Blahbaliciously....
