[SPOILER] Things to come in Star Wars Episode III

[Jeremy Ackerman-Yost]

I feel just the opposite. I have never been able to finish a book by Salvatore, although I did force myself through vector prime because it was Star Wars. The Stackpole stuff has always been my favorite of the bantam years.

As I said before, not a real big Salvatore fan in general, but I really liked the way he handled some of the things in that book, especially the conflict between Jacen and Anakin.

btw- One of the other reasons I've been resisting the New Jedi Order, is that it seems that a lot of plot decisions have been made by committee rather than because they flowed naturally from the story. For example (BIG Spoiler ahead) they killed Anakin Solo because they thought there would be character confusion between the two Anakins. That's corporate thinking because no one reads the books who isn't a fan, and a fan wouldn't make that mistake. Only a disconnected corporate clone would.

I guess I should also combat topic drift and post about Ep III

I think Boba should have a hand in killing Mace. He's to young to do it himself, but as a distraction so someone else can do a near lethal shot, the Boba doing a disintigration would be nice.

I figure the only "happy ending" bits we will see will be Padme's twins being spirited away, probably by Yoda, while Obi Wan fights Anakin. I suspect that to be the ending.

Yeah. We did get off on a tangent there.

Anyway, what about Padme? I've heard a couple people suggest that it's her death that drives Anakin over the edge, and I admit that's the most likely possibility. But how about this...

Maybe it's a betrayal by Padme (either real or perceived) that drives Anakin over the edge. Anakin could himself be the one that kills her in a fit of rage, completing his journey to the Dark Side. This would, of course, be after she gave birth. Perhaps hiding his child from him out of a fear of how he's been acting lately could be part of it.

Mace Windu will confront the Lord of the Sith.....Ohhpps, I mean poor Chancellor Palpatine after the power of the jedi is infringed on - he will be killed by the Royal Guard during the coupe planned by the Jedi Council but not before he strikes down the most beloved Senator in the Republic -- Padme Amidala.

I believe in ROTJ. Leia states that she remembers her mother(somewhat and being very sad).But that is all

She says she knows her mother but that is strickly from her POV. Maybe she does and Yoda & Ben decide the only way to protect her is fake her death. Does she think Bail is her father?

two things:

Also, Boba Fett does not actually die in RotJ. He just gets horribly messed up, but not before he kills that pit thingy. It was in the books, and maybe the comics

this is correct he was spat out, and rescued in the first of the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy entitled "The Mandalorian Armor" by C W Jeter.

I also suspect the Palpatine - Sidious link may be a bit more involved.... for example we know the Jedi can exist beyond death in a spiritual form, what if the Sith can do the same..and Palpatine was possessed by the Sith lord Darth sidious.... in such an instance Senator Palpatine may not even realise he is also the Sith lord.. at least not until Darth Sidious takes over completely..hence the physical corruption we see in him by RotJ

7. I'm tracking down a rumor that Lucas confirmed Boba Fett's return in Ep III, will let you know if I can confirm it.

Episode 3 takes place only 2 years after Episode 2.

(at least in the timeline placed forth by the Novels published. A timeline Lucas has enorsed via the starwars.com site)

Therefor Boba CANT make an appearence in Episode 2. Unless you want to have a 12 year old Boba Fett running around.

I remember at some novel reading that Boba Fetts "real" name was Jaster Mareel. Or something or other. Now I consider the books to be cannon unless they directly contradict something in the movies.

Obviously Episode 2 makes a small Contradiction on the identity of Boba Fett.

Personally i think Young Boba takes a new identity (he cant very well go under Boba Fett or the republic or someone else would place him in "protective custody" or who knows what else)

And when one day he finally becoms a bounty hunter he takes his old name :-D

Regardless unless Lucas changes the amount of time Ep 3 takes place after Ep2 then Boba Cannot be in it as the bounty hunter.

One thing I do wonder. If indeed Palpatine is Darth Sidious, at what point did a noble from Naboo turn into a powerful Sith Lord? Was Palpatine's political background on Naboo faked? That seems like a hard thing to accomplish.

I find it hard to imagine this young man from Naboo going through his political climb while at the same time learning to become a Sith Lord. But who knows........

One thing I remember from the movie that nobody has seemed to pick up on - there was a powerful Jedi master named Siphadius (sic?) which sounds quite close to Sidious, who somehow managed to purchase a clone army for the Republic, after his death, without the Republic or the Jedi being able to detect either him or the clone army. Anyone that powerful should be able to conceal their powers very effectively anywhere. Even if he were to show up in the senate as a senator. Nobody I've talked to about the movie seems to remember this part very well, but I think it will end up being one of the most important details of the next movie. I, for one, am very eager and hopeful that we learn more about the background of one of the most mysterious characters in movie history.

Actually, if you listen to the dialogue, it seems Yoda and Mace Windu KNEW Sifo-Dyas, so it's unlikely that Sifo-Dyas and Sidious are the same person.
