Darth Plagius [SPOILERS]

[Truth Seeker]

You have to remember, Palpatine never said that life was ACTUALLY created...just that Plagius had the ABILITY to do it. So, again, we can't be sure.

But yes, even if you believe Palpatine at one point, things don't add up. At first, he says that Plagius taught his apprentice everything he knew. Everything. All things. Nothing was missed. Everything.

But then, after Anakin has become Darth Vader, Palpatine says that HE doesn't know how to keep people alive/create life.

So, where was he lieing? It was somewhere. Or did he just make up the entire story to play to Anakin?

Again...we will never know.

I like what BG wrote ... I'd just add that I would think ani's mom was just one experiment of many ... but it was the important one, it worked.

FYI, this has been mentioned and discussed in another thread(s), but this is the first one dedicated solely to the discussion. It is hard to sift through everything.

Hi Forceuser,

I edited your title since it contained mild spoileriffic info.

Cheers

Bah, go and make a new thread for it after I've had my say.

I just want to point out that in the RotS novel, palps does say that he was Plaugus' apprentice. It never definitively says whether the sith played a part in ani's conception, I think GL is deliberately leaving that unclear.

As I watched RotS yesterday, I caught something huge that nobody's discussing.

Huh?

 

[Kralin Thornberry]

If I remember correctly, in the novel, Palpatine admits that he was the apprentice.

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

If I remember correctly, in the novel, Palpatine admits that he was the apprentice.

I'm surprised he didn't do it in the movie. It may be the only thing that Lucas allowed to the audience to imply rather than explicitly state.

I thought this same thing when I saw the movie on Sunday. It would be much cooler than the whole virginal conception and its heavy-handed symbolism.
