 | | Senator Palpintine / Emperor
|
|
To All, I am listening to ROTJ on my Minidisc player, I was wondering something. In ROTJ, the Emperor seems to have the gift of prophecy, of the dark side of the force. Does he undergo Jedi training at some point or something? He just seemed normal (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well. First, you're making the big assumption, that Senator Palpatine = Darth Sidious = Emperor Palpatine. One or another of those may actually not be true. Lucas has avoided direct questions about this. I know it's an easy assumption to make, (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm not a big Star Wars fan but I assumed he already WAS a Dark Jedi/Sith/whatever in Episode 1. Wasn't he "also" Darth Sidius, master of Dark Maul? That's how I saw it. (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Jeff, (...) Yes, I know the senator is the emperor, I wasn't asking about that. I was asking if he had his powers then, or not. Scott S. ___...___ Scott E. Sanburn-> ssanburn@cleanweb.net Systems Administrator-Affiliated Engineers -> (URL) Page -> (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Actually, I'd say that Lucas isn't pandering to the masses. Millions of whiny fanboys would love it if Jar Jar Binks weren't in Episode II, and yet he will be. eric (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Oh, it won't go that far. Ewoks are dumb, Jar Jar is dumb... I haven't even ever met any kids who like Jar Jar. I find him midly amusing, but if I had my druthers, there wouldn't be any screen time wasted on him. I just find it difficult to (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Just to add my useless two cents ... I consider Lucas to be the greatest example of anti-pandering there is. He financed the production of Episode I (and ROTJ, I believe) with his own money, for that express purpose: so that he could do exactly (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Maybe Jar Jar will become a Jedi when they are all being killed off. The Jedi might be so desperate for reinforcements that they'll take anybody. (...) Jorge Rodríguez rodriguez.136@osu.edu (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, the story as I understand it is that he (Palpatine/Darth Sidious/The Emperor) is a Dark Lord of the Sith, a dark side equivalent of the Jedi - basically the whole Empire/Rebellion/Galactic Civil War thing boils down to "a bit of a tiff" (...)

(...) Food for thought: There is no "Darth Sidious" in the credits to Episode 1... I think that Lucas assumed people would know that Sidious and Palpatine are one in the same, but then again perhaps he wants us to think that for some future plot (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)
