Mace-Palps showdown in the official novelization


Nur Ab Sal

Recommended Posts

Many folks are perplexed by Mace-Palps duel. I think that I want to know your opinion about Stover's description in official novelization. In my opinion it is more dynamic that movie version but it is IMO. I liked how Palps deconcentrated stupid Saeasee and killed him in split second.

 

Here's the fragment:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[the following is a transcript of an audio recording presented before the Galactic Senate on the afternoon of the first Empire Day; identities of all speakers verified and confirmed by voiceprint analysis]

PALPATINE: Why, Master Windu. What a pleasant surprise.

MACE WINDU: Hardly a surprise, Chancellor. And it will be pleasant for neither of us.

PALPATINE: I'm sorry? Master Fisto, hello. Master Kolar, greetings. I trust you are well. Master Tiin

HERMOCRATES:

Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks

of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned.

 

SOCRATES:

This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.

PALPATINE: Really, Master Windu, you cannot be serious. On what charge?

 

MACE WINDU: You're a Sith Lord!

 

PALPATINE: Am I? Even if true, that's hardly a crime. My philosophical outlook is a personal matter. In fact

Agreed! A pity Lucas didn't include Stover's quotes in the movie. Entire book is full of such great talk... :'(

That's pretty cool. However I still think he owned those fools too easy. They kicked lots of ass in the comics and in the Clone Wars cartoon, and they die in a fraction of a second. :thumbsup:

I always knew Shaft I mean Mace was a badass.

 

Seems like he was the perfect Sith dispatcher, able to channel the dark energies directed at him back at his assailants with no detrimental effects to himself. I LIKE vaapad.

 

It also seems like Palpatine was gambling on Anakin's trust in him as well, rather than being the all seeing, all powerful, omniscient entity I thought he was. Although it was a well calculated gamble with the odds entirely in his favor.

 

He should have been a mutual/hedge fund manager or something.

I thought his description of Obi-wan versus Greivous was way better than what ended up on film... :blink:

I liked his final description about how Anakin feels after he lost with Obi-Wan and killed Padme.

On Palpatine's desk lay the head of Kit Fisto, faceup, scalp-tentacles unbound in a squid-tangle across the ebonite. His lid-less eyes stared blindly at the ceiling. Anakin remembered him in the arena at Geonosis, effortlessly carving his way through wave after wave of combat droids, on his lips a gently humorous smile as though the horrific battle were only some friendly jest. His severed head wore that same smile.

 

Maybe he thought death was funny, too.

 

LOL. Best part IMO.

I thought Sylvar was supposed to look like a cat or something?

 

Is this right or did I dream it?

"I tried the most potent Noise Amplification spell once upon a time. Mavellous spell. I could hear the birds speaking to one another in trees over the horizon, I could hear the rustlings as the clouds rubbed against each other in the sky. I could hear the sound a rainbow makes as it arches it's back over the world. Then a dog barked behind me and I burst my left eardrum."

And the badass line of the week award goes to...

"For all your power, you are no Jedi. All you are, my lord," Mace said evenly, staring past his blade, "is under arrest."

 

And about the figures, all I can say is... :blink:
