That ought to do it.

Anyway, here's what I think is up:  Palpatine/Sidious is doing all of this
purposefully to bring balance to the Force.  Think about it:  The Jedi are
losing their powers, and are too bogged down in their own bureaucracy to do
what needs to be done.  Palpatine says to Anakin in this movie, "I forsee you
becoming the geatest Jedi of all."  He might have been saying it only to stroke
Anakin's ego, but he might have been referring to Anakin's destiny.  If Anakin
were not corrupted, after all, he would not fulfill this destiny.

Palpatine/Sidious- if they are the same person- has shown himself to be
excellent at manipulating everyone to bring about exactly what he wants.  If it
were not for what he was doing, Anakin wouldn't be in a position to bring
balance to the Force.

Anakin Skywalker is NOT the person who will bring balance to the force!  He
is NOT who the scripts are refering to.  That role is his son, Luke
Skywalker.  Lucas, in some interview a few years back stated that Luke, not
vader, was the one that would bring balance to the force.  This event,
however, des not occur during the classic trilogy but after that in a Dark
Horse comic.  The event occurs after Luke comes back from the dark side and
destorys the 2nd Emperor Clone and brings the re-creation of the 2nd jedi
council.

  What if he simply has an "ends justify the means"
attitude towards attaining that balance?  Certainly intigating the deaths of
millions is evil, but remember what Obi-Wan tells Luke on Dagobah- truths
change depending on your point of view.

And always, always remember what Emperor Palpatine says to Vader when he
arrives at the Death Star- "Everything is proceeding as I have forseen it."

The emperors downfall in Return of the Jedi is NOT the rebellion. He DID
forsee the destruction of the rebellion according to his plans.  His
downfall however were the ewoks!  Lucas wanted to portray that between the
stuggle of technology and the spirt to survive that the spirt to survive
would ALWAYS prevail.  He showed this in the battle of endor.  The empire
had the best technology going into the battle, yet the ewoks with their
primative weapons won the battle.  Not becuase they were smarter but becuse
they had the spirit to survive.  Lucas in an interview in the VHS Tape of
the ROJ special edition talks about this.

Alright, I just saw Episode II. I'm sure that will be a shock to some people. I plan to make up for it by seeing it again tomorrow night. Anyway, in the course of watching the movie I think I might have figured out The Big One. I mean, the great big (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)
