SW, Darth Sidious and Palpatine: what the heck?

I’m going to risk the wrath of the moderators and point out that anyone who is still wondering if Darth Disious and Emperor Palatine are or are not the same person should not look too closely at the Star Wars action figures currently on sale.

In a related vein, here’s an interesting article on Lucas trying to reinvent himself post-Star Wars: Life After Death.

Yep, that’s exactly how I stumbled upon the “truth”. Thanks Hasbro :mad:

It has been obvious from TPM that Palpatime was Sidious. But I think its remaining a “mystery” because in the film it is a mystery to the players. I don’t forsee any special surprise twist coming out of this.

Bippy, when have we seen Greedo grow up? I didn’t see any reason to think the green kid playing with Anakin was Greedo himself.

And Soapbox Monkey do we know that Chewie, specifically will be in III?

We know it was Greedo because of the deleted scene on the DVD. I don’t know if that counts as “canon” to the die-hards or not.

Actually, all Wookies speak English; Chewie just has a massive speech impediment.

How 'bout we just leave it at

full stop?

They could be twins.

“So what’s your brother up to these days Senator Palpatine?”

“Ah, you know, he amassed an army in order to fight his own brother, if only I hadn’t stolen his lollipop. Having an identical twin can be so hard”

“Identical? Just think, since no one knows you’re twins it looks like you control both armies and you’re fighting yourself”

“Ah ha, ha ha ha ha ha…mmmmmm, yes I wish he didn’t die all those years ago in a freak speeder bike accident, it’s rubbish playing soldiers with yourself”
