GarethCarrots Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 all this talk of sith lords, encompassing darth sidious/emperor palpatine has made me wonder, for such an all powerful galaxy owning, death star driving vader killing menace he doesnt seem very sith like, i mean you only see him use his powers once, never uses a lightsaber and doesnt hav the whole yoda wisdom thing (not even in an evil way). ne1 else eva thought this or is it just moi...
Craftsman Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Well firstly he fights luke with a lightsaber so yeh. Powers more than one for example, when he chokes the officer and when he uses objects in cloud city to throw luke out the window. But yeh he certainly wasn't the 'badest' Sith.
Drakoth Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Why go through the effort of killing someone when you can just as easily twist them to the darkside.. and the bonus is you dont have to leave your chair to do that. If palpatine wanted somebody killed, he had a large cadre of jedi-killing assassins and the big DV. he didnt need to do anything. In that way, he is sithlike. He sees all and slowly twists and manipulates the galaxy into doing all his work for him. thats true darkside power.
Pope Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I bet we'll see Palpy take out his lightsaber in Episode III.
DSLuke Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Palpatine is the absolute Sith. Where other thave failed misserably he succeded.... He only used his power when it was an absolute nessecity. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom

He only used his power when it was an absolute nessecity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Absolutely right! Palpatine is the mightest Sith Lord of all times. After all, he was the only Sith able to crush the Republic...

Not Darth Vader As for Palps - perhaps he doesn't act very sithy, but he is surely a brilliant politician. I love the way how he started the seperatist movement as Sidious in Ep 2, so that he as chancelor could create a large army - which is the first looks of the Imperial Army. The Imperial March during the last scene of Ep 2 made that clear anough

Surely.... 50 years of Empire on 20k years of republic isn't such a big deal in history (it is of course if you have the rotten luck to live in those 50 years)
Ivan the Terrible Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I wonder though. How long did the Empire exist? Anyone knows? With the republic being what - 20000 years old or so? Surely.... 50 years of Empire on 20k years of republic isn't such a big deal in history (it is of course if you have the rotten luck to live in those 50 years) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> About 50 years, that's right. A drop in the bucket if you take the EU timeframe....but frankly, the EU timeframe is very lame. In that 50 years, though, he did manage to virtually annihilate every trace of the Jedi such that the Jedi Order could never be the same again and had to start from scratch. He may not have ruled long, but he certainly had a major impact. I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
ShadowFaxIV Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I bet we'll see Palpy take out his lightsaber in Episode III. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We will, he takes on the little green man. Read it in a news article interview, it talked about his stunt man and how he had to put in some work with a lightsaber. Fun fun -There is no Light or Dark. There is only Power, and those to weak to seek it! -Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life. -I find no joy in taking the life of someone that finds no value in it. -If you only get out of life what you put into it,why not just keep it all to begin with and save a whole lot of waisted time and effort?
Fardragon Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Acording to the EU Palpatine is using Battle Meditation on the space battle at the same time as trying to turn Luke to the Dark Side. In the prequals he is able to hide his Dark Side presance from the Jedi Council, and cloud thier Force Clairvoyance. In the Dark Horse comics he is able to transfer his soul to a new body and Summon a planetry scale Force Storm. Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships! There isn't any game that wouldn't be improved by a space combat minigame. Adding one to PoE would send sales skyrocketing, and ensure the game was remembered for all time!!!!!
Exar Dulo Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Sidious is a misterious, shady character. He doesnt look so powerful on first sight, but thats the trick. He was able to hide his pressence even in front of Yoda and that means that he`s realy powerful. We didnt see him using lightsaber in the trilogy, but (SPOILER) well see him do that in EP III. His power is so great, that even the advanced technology and usefullness of the lightsaber is beyond it.
GarethCarrots Posted October 15, 2004 Author Posted October 15, 2004 its just we never get to see all the raw darkside power he has, cos he must be like kickass powerful, and i would like that to be expressed in a less subtle way, with yoda you just look at him, hear him talk and know he wud own your insignifcant ass. with palpy tho i dont get that and would like to see more of it

And he will have a significiant amount of screenplay demonstrating the power of the Dark Side. You`ll be satisfied, be asured.

Ever Faith Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I'd be like Sidious if I was a sith lord. Sit around, have other people do my work as I eat a bucket of kentucky fried chicken. He's sort of the 'lazy' sith lord in my opinion. Evolutionary Development

Laozi Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 the whinny usually fall to the dark side People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
ShadowFaxIV Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 the whinny usually fall to the dark side <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, I don't partucularly like Jedi, Anakin's lucky he wasn't working with a sith that day, cause when he said "Why?" he would have recieved a lightsaber upside the head. -There is no Light or Dark.
