Darth Sidious question - **RotS Spoilers**

[Brother Shatterstone]

If not, some fan will. He probably channeled Dark Side Power to temporarily up his DEX score for the fight..

Unless I'm missing it in his write up Palpatine doesn't have enhance ability force skill... That said he could have pulled a 20 or used a force point to gain a +4 to his DEX, giving him a 15, but he looked a little bit more dexterous than that, at least to me he did.

Logic... Emotion has no sway on me.

Personally, I think logic dictates that any Jedi should've tried to do exactly what Mace did. Un-Jedi-like? Any Jedi in his right mind would've done the same. It was 'kill or be killed.'

Go for, only way to convince everyone (still may not work though).

They could still be ignored.
All I wanted to do in above posting was to point people who entered the thread late and obviously ignored a good portion of the first page to the screen capture. While you could say that Palpatine was always using a disguise - even as Sidious - simply saying that he has been deformed in his appearances as Sidious prior to his battle with Windu is wishful thinking.

p.s. Are you making them youself? If so how?

Yes, with WinDVD.

Those were badass. I liked Baron Soontir Fel outta those!

Is that the Bothan? Or Merrix's father?

Baron Fel is the best Imperial TIE Pilot. He flew with the 181st squadron of Interceptors at Endor, and for a short while after the fall of the Empire. After, he spent a short time in Rogue Squadron before heading out to the Unknown Regions and Chiss space. He's actually married to Wedge's sister.

I don't think the D20 Star Wars system can really capture the Jedi based on this flick, at least as of the RCR, I think we may need a new core rule book.

The idea of Yoda being the Jedi Consular and a lesser swordsman than the Guardian is moot. The Emperor would now have to move a lot of his skill points to Enhance Ability and Battlemind which would blunt his other Jedi powers, considering he only has what 16 force user levels? I think the Emperor & Yoda were prime examples of either a need for new rules or the need for post level 20 characters. The Emperor is obviously a devastating swordsman based on his three swings = three dead Jedi Masters.

On the contrary, the sequences with Obi Wan and Grevious had me thinking that RCR was a pretty neat fit to the movie. As mentioned in the thread in the d20 other forum, the main thing I think needs revised is the way that sabers and force lightning interract. Obviously, sabers are a major defense against force lightning. (I also think I'd have to make the handling of severed limbs a bit more explicit...)

 

[Desdichado]

All evidence points to Palpatine being deformed by the lightning. However, I get the feeling most people like the idea of him hiding his appearance too much to let go of the idea.

Oh, certainly not all the evidence. We haven't even yet discussed the evidence of Anakin starting to take on the early stages of a "Sithy" appearance on Mustafar yet.

 

[Wolf72]

On a side note I wonder if the Jedi have a preferred Dr. for limb replacement (one they can refer 'victims' to as well.)

Need more screen captures?

See, those screen captures to me point out that Darth Sideous already looked just like the Emperor of RotJ.
