Those who choose to work in porcelain are generally trying to preserve classical techniques, add an antiquated twist to their ultra-modern work or, in the case of Maria Rubinke, trying to create a juxtaposition between what is acceptable now in the world of art and the simpler, more innocent forms of the past.
Maria's sculptures are lightheartedly morbid, featuring unfortunate kids with cute faces struggling through all sorts of strange maladies, from splitting headaches to what can only be called "kettle ear":
The characters in Maria's sculptures would get along well with Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies, they could share woeful tales about their various maladies and misfortunes!

Is that a valid question? Really? Obi-Wan was old, he may have had his tricks but he was old, and he could never do what Luke could do, it was already hard for him to face Darth Vader, it was all tough for him to deal with, plus, in his 'ethereal' form he could always be everywhere, no spaceships needed :D
Obi-Wan just got extremely sick of it all and wanted to become a ghost, sometimes, we all want that.
For me balance just means a one to one relation between sith and jedi..
---> if you find the one to bring balance to the force, better kill him, as he would eihter kill all jedi (exept of two) or significantly increase the number of sith...
Non of the jedi council's members (or the author itself) seem to have been able to draw this conclusion...
