Lord Satasn Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Palpatine/Sidious all the way... and Palpatine was doing dirty work...he killed his Sith Master...became Sith Lord....all because his master trusted him.... ever since then he has been manipulating others and abusing their trust... maul trusted him.....dead dooku trusted him....dead Anakin trusted him...converted... luke doubted him....."almost dead..." heh Palpatine went out and found dooku after he heard dooku left the order...he convereted him to teh darkside... thats doing work he found/kidnapped Maul and trained him as a youngster to become a Sith Warrior thats doing some work and leaving the senate offices... he worked his way up in the senate by using maul to kill leaders... He has all these loyal and devoted, extremely powerful allys that do all this work for him....but its not like he's paying them....he has done something to show his power to them all...and he is so evil that he hides his true intentions from his followers, he just uses ppl one after another... Do not tell me palpatine is a coward he is an evil genius and sorry he didnt go out and kill each jedi spread out across the galaxy...but I dont think he had the time to cross lightyears and lighyears of space from planet to planet where the jedi were stationed and find and kill each of them and still run the senate....thats stupid... just because he doesn't do it, it doesn't mean he couldnt. or isnt able to.... he just works smart, not hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 How many people have heard of Darth Vader? More than would recognise the name 'Darth Sidious', I think. 'Best Bad Guy' can be interpreted in so many different ways. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you on crack, Steve? I know members of my family (for an example of completely out-of-the-SF-loop) who would be able to identify Darth Vader, but if you meantioned Darth Sidious to them they'd think you got his name wrong, or that you had a speech impediment. Maybe more children uder the age of ten might know who Sidious was ahead of Vader, but no-one else older than that has even heard of him (aside from SW-junkies that hang out on internet fora. ) OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Other, because it didn't include Osama Bin Laden or Saddam 'Insane'. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you have to bring the real world into a STAR WARS THREAD!? I though Dooku just dissapeared rather than left the order. The order still had a bust of him in the archives during Ep2. I noticed that Sidios was an abberation to the sith code. Mainly because according to the code Apprentice kills master when apprentice is stronger. But Sidious kept his power dispite the fact that his apprentices were all more powerful, or at least demonstrated more power. Except Maybe Maul who didn't demonstrate actual use of the force that I can remember. Why Grevious, a smoking non-jedi who uses cybernetic's to make up for not having the force and was killed way to easily compared to how he's built up (see clone wars), is up there I have no Idea. he didn't even have charisma needed to keep the seperatist leaders in check. only the fact that he had Sidious on his side kept them under his thumb. Dooku was able to sweet talk the leaders into jumping through hoops and Dooku was the best lair. The greatest of lies are the ones that have bits of truth in them.

Unabomber Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Except Maybe Maul who didn't demonstrate actual use of the force that I can remember. Force jump, force push, hurl objects. I'd imagine that he also used force rage. Why Grevious, a smoking non-jedi who uses cybernetic's to make up for not having the force and was killed way to easily compared to how he's built up (see clone wars), is up there I have no Idea. Interesting question. We can only wonder how the General Grevious, previous to getting his torso (containing his vital organic organs) force gripped, and crushed, by Windu, would have done if he were more intact.

'Best Bad Guy' can be interpreted in so many different ways. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is because Vader was shown in the very first movie of the trilogy which everyone knows or has seen, even non-starwars fans.... How many movies has Vader been in? 4 out of 6, and his character before Vader was in the other 2....it's because the series is about him, how he got turned to the darkside....by the way....WHO TURNED HIM TO THE DARKSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sidious/Palpatine... how many movies was he in of the old famous trilogy....1....well...now.....2...kinda...empire doesnt really count.

alanschu Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I liked my SS trooper vs Hitler analogy :D In fact, if you want you can take Milgram's experiment into consideration and just say that the people that enforce the actions aren't necessarily evil...they're just following orders <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was more of a Metaphor.... And a bad one at that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Analogy: a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Moth Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 No, because Revan was good deep down inside! Yeah! Go, lightside!! And Vader's armor was a little cooler looking. Maybe that should be my next poll: which armor is best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitropowah Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well.... I guess 'cause Vader is an icon, a symbol of evil , for the whole world. His name is in movies, parodies, etc. He's BIG and FAMOUS...and prolly the most known bad guy... And he just looks cool in that armor....and the breathing...yeah :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sai-Quan Derry Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I agree with the statement that Sidious/Palpatine wasn't a coward but the genius of evil. In addition the analogy with ss trooper and Hitler was a good one. Nevertheless I voted Vader. Why? Because only that one causes thrill on my back when I see him and hear his: "hhhhhshhhh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf16 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Wow, can't believe I'm the only one who voted Grevious... Guess not many people have seen the Clone Wars series. Were he like his 2D self in ROTS, Obi'd been properly ******, and the same for Anny.
