you mean that the novelization of the movie is better than the movie itself?

I'm not saying the novelization is better, it's just... more detailed in some of the more mundane details. My favorite part that couldn't have been in the movie is the descriptions of Obi-Wan, like Obi-Wan in the force. The film is the selling point but the book is just a good read if you want more in depth than the film gives. I guess I am just stuck on Lord of Rings and expect all films to last 3+ hours.

Another question raised by Lief Erikson was a theory that Palpatine may have been Jedi Knight Sifo-Dyas, however there is nothing to prove this theory correct and to my knowledge nothing plausible to suggest that this is even a possibility. Lief would argue with me their but I, as well as many, many other SW geeks(geekier than myself) agree to a theory I have posted previously. So, Master'sBaneSwiftSnowmane, I don't know how much of your post was "spoiler" but all of it was known to most of us, and me at the least.

Erm, I came back to this forum (wesite...) a little too late and had to skim over the threads that I wanted to post in. I missed quit a bit in my skimming and I'm sorry about that.
The question of this thread makes a little more sense to me now...tehe.

I've come around to the Pelageus theory. I don't know about all of it, but I do believe Pelageus was Sidious' master. Therefore there is no need for Sidious to be Syphodias. It seemed logical to me earlier, as an explanation of Sidious' Force powers and background. The only reason I'm convinced about Pelageus is that
I do find this slightly disappointing, but I'm sure I'll get accustomed to and pleased with it soon. I was hoping that Sidious was the original Dark Side master. Now that I find he was an apprentice to someone else, that kind of lessens him a little to me. However, on the plus side, this does help out the prophecy of the one who would bring balance. If the Sith never really went extinct, then having them entirely wiped out by Anakin in Episode 6 is a much more important thing then it would have been if he had just stopped a brief "second rise." So that's a good thing that comes out of it.

From the comments the characters made in "Revenge of the Sith", it became evident that the Sith had not necessarily ever been truly extinct. Rather, they simply went undercover.

As for the Emporer, I'm not really up on all my Star Wars mythology, but finally watched the new movie last night - don't you suppose he was the apprentice to the "Darth Plagus" he told Anakin about? Or is that already an established fact?

Also, a reason why I don't feel Qui-Gon could have imperonated Sifo-Dyas was because he had no affiliation with the Sith, and as the law of Darth Bane says there can only be two Sith, master and apprentice, Sidious was one and Maul makes two. Unless Maul made the contract(extreamly doubtful) then Dooku is the next Sith candidate to do it.

I agree. Also I doubt Order 66 would have been programed if it wasn't a Sith Lord. Also Jango Fett has to have had some way of meeting Dooku, so Dooku order the army makes alot of sense to me.

Hmm...never thought of it that way before.
But we run into the problem of Dooku's age. Obviously he was still alive when Maul was, since he's an older man. So was he "just a guy" before Maul and converted to evil after?

I agree. Palpatine was around in Episode I, as a senator. I understand that Ep. I was approx. 10 years before Ep. II, which as I recall is the space of time cited for Sifo having died; therefore, Sifo and Senator Palpatine would have been contemporaries. It seems to me highly implausible that Palpatine/Sidious be a Changelim, for the simple reason that there seems no evidence for it. The only thing I can imagine is Palpatine looking different after he unleashes lighting at Mace Windu, but it seems to me obvious that that is supposed to be caused by the lightning, due to the fact that so far as I know, he never looks like that before the lightning, and he never looks different after (except that in the original STAR WARS, you might say the look is more "set in").
On a side note, is it not AWESOME Ian McDiarmid played Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, AND in the prequels? It's just spectacular! He's playing the same character, 20 years younger, 20 years later! Quote:
