Hi friends, I'm a Jedi and General Palpatine "Darth Sidious" keeps asking me to join the dark side "sith"?

I'm torn what should I do stay with the uptight Jedi Order or be a rebel and join the Sith Order?

Or...You could increase your medication....

Just a thought....

The Best of Palpatine / Darth Sidious / The Emperor

My friend, the biggest geek, has a patented Palpatine-Skywalker theory...what do you think of this?

Senator Palpatine (aka Darth Sidious) is actually Anakin's father...that expains SOOOOOO much

George Lucas has admitted that some questions arising from the six part circle of the Star Wars epic allow way for the possibility of "prequel" SW films to help answer them. I have to agree about the probable Sidious/Skywalker linkage.

If Star Wars fans have arisen this question, then you know Lucas himself ALSO ponders the same thing......

And I have no doubt that in his spare time, Lucas has probably tinkered with some storyline ideas regarding this question. But here's the rub: Which SW "prequel" film is bankable: A Palpatine/Shimi romance story very much parallel to the Anakin/Padme story......or the adventures of a young Han Solo and his alliances with Chewbacca and a fellow swashbuckling Lando Calrissian??

Here, I can see Lucas creating a storyline that interweaves BOTH possibilities--a "two for one" package epic.

But alas: SW fans and Lucas will have to wait till the battle between the Writer Guild Alliance and the ever looming Hollywood Empire is over for even a hint of such a project to launch into production.

How can Darth Vader be said to have brought "balance" to the force at the end of Episode VI?

I mean, he hardly did, did he? The Sith resurfaced barely years later with the Imperial Remnant! And then we even have another SITH EMPIRE about 200 years later!

The only way in which I think he ever brought about "balance" was when he killed all the Jedi in episode Iii; since that brought them down to numbers as low as the Sith... thus "evening the teams" as it were, but killing Palpatine solved nothing!

That's if you count the books after Return of the Jedi, I don't. In my eyes, he balanced it. Or...Luke was the chosen one and he balanced it.

Clone/Reborn Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious

Any one else agree that Darth Vader was NOT the most evil movie villian of all time, or even close? ?

If you have seen the movies then you would notice that Darth Vader being who he is isnt really his fault at all. Its all the Emperor's doing. On the list of top 10 most evil villians Darth Vader was #1 and the emperor was #6, with the votes being all by movie fans. Anakin Skywalker would have never become Vader if Councilor Palpatine didnt put dreams of Padme dying in his head, and saying the sith ways are the only ways of protecting her, and all that bullshit. Anakins whole life since he and palpatine first met was planned by palpatine to make him his apprentice. I say dont award Anakin skywalker most evil movie villian of all time, but he gets an award for having the most screwed up and saddest life ive ever seen, what with losing his mom like that then practically killing his beloved Padme all the while going to the dark side, ending with his son dragging him across the floor to safety in the last episode. Quite a life huh?

I totally agree! I think Palpatine is pure evil. A lot of lists put Hannibal Lecter at the top but seriously. If Palpatine and Hannibal Lecter ever met face to face... I mean come on people Lecter eats people but Palpatine dominated an entire galaxy and shot lightning from his hands!

I think that if the list says "best villain" or "most memorable" or whatever then you can put Lecter at the top or even Vader but as far as most evil how can you beat Palpatine?

Star Wars: episode Iii - Revenge of the Sith (2005) Played by Ewan McGregor

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) Played by Alec Guinness

NOTE: Guinness' role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy, beginning in 1977, brought him worldwide recognition by a new generation. Guinness agreed to take the part on the condition that he would not have to do publicity to promote the film. He was also one of the few cast members who believed that the film would be a box office hit and negotiated a deal for two percent of the gross, which made him very wealthy in later life.

Because at the end of Episode III, Kenobi leaves him on the volcano planet, mortally wounded and presumably left for dead.

Whose your favorite character in Star Wars?

luke skywalker
Princess Leia
Darth Vader
Han Solo
Lando Calrissian
Yoda
Obiwan Kenobi
Mace Windu
Grand Moff Tarkin
Ewoks
Chewbaca
C3PO
R2-D2
Qui Gonn Jinn
Emperor Palpatine
Jaba the hutt
Boba Fett
Jango Fett
Queen Amidala
Darth Maul
Jar Jar Binks
Nute Gunray
Darth Sideous

which characters were underdeveloped?
Who was the hero of each of the respective episodes? Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi? Who was the hero of the original trilogy? And who was the hero of the whole saga?

My absolute favorites are Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, but I like all the other characters except Emperor Palpatine, Jabba The Hutt, Queen Amidala, Darth Maul, Jar-Jar Binks, Nute Gunray, and Darth Sideous. I think Qui-Gon was a underdeveloped character in the movies but he got a book series so you could read the back story. And Chewbacca is really underdeveloped. Episode 1, Qui-Gon [he really thought he was helping when he found Anakin], Episode 2 Yoda, Episode 3 Obi-Wan, Episode 4 Obi-Wan, Episode 5 Han, Episode 6 Anakin. The hero of the original trilogy was Leia and the hero of the entire trilogy was Obi-Wan.

Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sideous: The Phantom Of The Opera

The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy – a Retrospective

The original “Star Wars” trilogy was a cinematic landmark and a fond fixture in popular culture. I was not fortunate enough to see the original trilogy in its first run at the cinema although I did get to see the updated Special Editions when they were released. My introduction to the original films was television, and constantly re-watching them on home video. I remember going through “Empire” the most, as well as the darker scenes from “Jedi”, conveniently fast-forwarding through any scenes featuring ewoks. The original trilogy offered strong story telling, compelling and likeable characters, as well as spectacular images and a riveting soundtrack by master composer John Williams.

So where does the new prequel trilogy stack up against the brilliantly done originals? I guess it depends on how you look at it.

“The Phantom Menace”, or “Episode I”, generated an unprecedented amount of anticipation, so much so that there was no way this film was going to live up to expectations. I was certainly caught up in it all, having pre-bought the tickets weeks before and was all ready for a completely new Star Wars film.

The one thing I do remember after walking out of the cinema that day was being visually overwhelmed. I actually did not know what to think at all. I do not recall feeling anything negative about the film, or positive for that matter. I just felt I had seen something that was altogether different to the original films; that and my retinas needed to adjust to the real world after being bombarded with the cinema’s most over-burdened and detailed CGI shots in history. Visually, the film was a lot to process.

Unlike a lot of fans, I did not hate Jar Jar, I did not hate Jake Lloyd, and in general I did not hate what I saw. Looking back, I realised that I enjoyed it despite it being a bit ‘lite’ on story; but looking at in context of the original films and the other prequels, there were some major problems, least of which was the criminally underused Darth Maul.

“Attack Of The Clones” seems to get the gong for ‘silliest Star Wars title’. We were promised a more darker tone, but I would say we got a ‘sombre’ tone instead. This film introduced the world to Hayden Christensen as the young Anakin, and soon to be evil Darth Vader. Not good. Christensen seemed miscast to me, and for the most part he looks lost in a complicated role. In the end, it damages the film’s standing only marginally because the film is really about the images, action and universe-ending melodrama, but somehow it manages to make “The Phantom Menace” a solid acting piece.

The plot for “Episode II” does manage to install Palpatine as the Supreme Chancellor and create the Storm Troopers seen in the original trilogy, so in this respect, it’s much ‘meatier’ than “Episode I”. An all digital Yoda is a revelation and a masterpiece of CGI and voicework. A friend of mine said at the time that they could have just had the two minute Yoda fight scene looped for two hours and it probably would have made even more money than it did.

And then came “Revenge of the Sith”. For many fans, this was the film that “Episode I” should have been. It’s easily the best of the prequels, mainly because it actually fosters a sense of sinister drama, and because it does not contain any fat in the story telling: a major negative for the other prequels. This was an enjoyable film to watch, and for the first time, almost all the CGI actually looked perfect. And you got to see some great moments, particularly anything to do with Palpatine and his transformation in to the Emperor of the universe. The last twenty minutes of the film are unexpected from a tone point of view; you have not really seen anything that dark in a Star Wars film, but it is very welcome from a dramatic point of view.

When watching the prequels, if you do not nitpick too much at what you have seen, you will find them all a very cinematic, enjoyable experience and worth the price of admission. Of course, Star Wars fans will nit-pick. And they would be justified in doing so because the prequels do not hold up well under scrutiny.

George Lucas said in the “Episode I” DVD documentary that the two trilogies rhyme; in essence, similar things happen in both trilogies but the stories ultimately end up taking different paths based on different outcomes at crucial moments. If this rhyming notion is accurate, why is Anakin nine years old in “Episode I” while Luke is eighteen or so in “Episode IV”? Why was Darth Maul not a central figure in “Episode I” like Darth Vader in “Episode IV”? Where was the Jar Jar Binks style character in “Episode IV”? You could go on and on. He may have been trying to get the trilogies to be synchronous, but it did not happen.

Then there is just the general laziness in the story telling, most likely due to the fact that there was not enough story to sustain three films. Anakin’s turn to the dark side is completely arbitrary. In “episode Iii”, he goes from being conflicted about Palpatine and wanting to serve the Jedi to becoming Darth Vader in a matter of minutes. In “Episode II”, we only see Anakin’s mother for one scene, yet her death is the beginning of Anakin’s journey to the dark side. I would have thought that spending a lot more time developing the most crucial scenes in the trilogy would been the way to go instead of endless scenes of CGI (the wookie battle or the pod-race comes to mind). Although I did not hate Jar Jar, he does not really have a place in the story structure of the six films aside from selling toys (okay, George made him relevant in “Episode II” but I think that was more thanks to fan reaction than anything else).

The most important developments in the trilogy are glazed over yet that is what we came to see. Ewan McGregor once said the prequels were about the ‘background’ and it is true; the images are truly astounding. It is a shame the same level of detail was not applied to the screenplays.

In many ways, the prequel trilogy is the embodiment of the modern blockbuster; entertaining for a few hours, and maybe even on a few repeat viewings, but then ultimately disposable. That may be a little harsh because they are better than the majority of blockbusters that have come out of Hollywood in recent years, but they are also Star Wars films and probably deserved better treatment. They will never achieve the high water mark of the original trilogy, nor should they. They are different films for a different generation. For the fans I would say, enjoy them for what they are and do not compare. It is really the only way to watch the prequels.
