Palpatine's Big Plan **Ep III Spoilers**

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Clouded by the Dark Side their vision was. Overlooked this dangerous individual they did.

Awkward this sentence structure is.

Nah, it's just like German -- verbs at the end! Which makes me wonder what the German-dubbed version of the movies is like, since Yoda won't be quite so strange in a literal translation (unless maybe they put the verbs in the middle ...).

I'd add: "secretly implant Order 66 into your Clone Army at the Cloning facility, so you can give one command and eliminate the Jedi without them knowing."

Good catch. I shared a good grin with my friend and fellow gamer who I watched the movie with. We both used to play Rolemaster together and a 66 on the critical charts always indicated something unexpected and horrendous.

You might also want to add in, at random points, times for Palpatine to plan meals, puppy kicking, and other smaller, non-essential acts to keep his Sith skills up.

Well, until this thread I wasn't aware that Sifo-Dyas' mystery had an EU answer.

My theory had been that Sifo-Dyas was Darth Plaguis, Sidious' master; and that he had ordered the clone army and started things rolling, told his apprentice too much, and been murdered.

... If this theory is true, there's no telling if he really as a Nubian (or Nabooean, or whatever the correct term for that is) or not....

"What's a Nubian?"

My biggest unanswered question is this: The Jedi apparently know when someone is capable of using the force when they're small children. They also recruit these children from Republic worlds when they're very young. So how did Palpatine go overlooked, especially when he ends up as someone in a fairly prominent role?

He used someone else's... err... sample for his midichlorian test?

 

[Thanee]

The Sith just got him first, obviously.

On another RPG forum, I've seen one interesting idea... Palpatine is Anakins 'father'. He learned the power to create life from his master and he was the one who engineered the birth of Anakin by using these techniques on his mother somehow.

Ok, that *is* far-stretched, but an interesting thought, nonetheless.

Heh. Just noticed, that someone here had this thought, too...

Um secret order 66? I just heard "active order 66". Just because the jedi are the generals does not mean they are doing all the training and writing all the orders. Oh I don't count the EU because that adds more stuff and which books are and which are not? Especially since I started reading the extra SW books with Splinter of the Mind's eye

Well, it´s not that bad. You can put verbs at the end, but the "Subject-Predicate-Object" is still the standard procedure. (If you use another structure, you usually want to stress a different part of the sentence or otherwise affect the meaning) Yoda´s "style" is still obvious.
(But that reminds me: Those Trade Federation guys, do they really have a french accent?)
