so many quotable things in this thread!
Fred your pic literally had me laughing out loud....thank you and i agree the first three Star Wars films will always be important to me....and i take out my (original) vhs copies and watch them at least once a year with my nephews....and honestly i did not mind any of the new movies....so why not? besides this whole franchise was destined to be whored out from the very beginning |

Well, a twelve year old can put up a Star Wars fanfic on the internet about the Clone Wars and the rise of Darth Vader too, but unless it's any good, I'll just write it off and move on. The fact that this just so happened to have been done by George Lucas doesn't really have any relevance to the Star Wars universe in my head.

Nerd moment coming... Palpatine was the Ambassador for Naboo. Obviously, he was also a Sith lord. Galactic domination isn't easy. His first task was to be elected Supreme Chancellor for the Republic, which wasn't going to be simple since Naboo is pretty much a bum**** planet. Using his dark side powers, he convinced the Trade Federation to create a "trade dispute" with Naboo (which they were really just going to turn into a full blown war regardless). The Republic had no standing army so there was nothing they could do to help. This also made the current Chancellor look bad and created sympathy for Naboo...perfect time for Palpatine to move in and get elected (I'm sure with a little help from the dark side). The Trade Federation loses, they get pissed, and they and many other planets are convinced to join the "Separatist" movement by Darth Sidious (who is obviously Palpatine's apprentice). The reason behind creating this movement was so that Palpatine could convince the Republic that they needed an army. Queue the clones. Now the Army of the Republic is fighting the Separatists...both sides which Palpatine has orchestrated. He designed the war to go on and on until eventually he could pin the whole thing on the Jedi, kill them, and then declare himself Emperor. This is funny, too, because if you remember it was Jar Jar who gave Palpatine emergency powers to declare all this stuff in the first place...so really he's the one who screwed everyone over.

I laugh every time I think about that. According to the ever expanding Expanded Universe, Jar Jar suffers no repercussions and goes on to start a family and die of old age. The one character whose brutal death would have been met with thunderous applause gets the best deal of all.
