Your homosexual fantasies about George Lucas ruins this movie for ya all eh? If you don't like it, don't fucking watch it you pathetic bunch of crabs. Go look at how much these movies made and remind yourself why Lucas is a billionare and you're a bunch of LOSERS posting on youtube ROFL
I am incoherent. My breathing is out of control. You are my new best friend. Make these prequels a reality or I will hunt you down and make you do it. Don't ask how. JUST DO IT. There is no try. There isn't even a do not. There is only a DO.
I'm sorry I just love you so much right now and this is how I express it. You're so...beautiful. You're not like coarse or rought like sand. You're so soft and smooth. Together we can rule the prequels!
The prequels sucked, the only moment that was half decent was when Anakin met Clieg Larrs and we got to see the home Luke grew up in on Tatooine, and the following scene where he tells padme he must rescue his mother - because those scenes actually looked and felt like Star Wars, the rest though, was a pile of shit.
I'm sorry, secularish, for commenting a billion times and having a fandom wank, but I really do like your video and think the idea behind it is brilliant, the way you edited it, the music, it had a lot of care behind it. I really love the idea. I just had to go off on a why-I-hate-the-prequels-and-Padme rant for a minute...
spoof or not, the idea of padmé as the corrupt senator is a very intresting idea, it would not only make her more of an intresting character (not just 'the girlfriend') but also make the Skywalker's a true tragedy. were i believe the prequels as they are are completly pointless to the first three, this idea may have created an tale worthy of adding to the saga.
i didn't get anything out of this trailer, how is it that padme wants to rule the empire? you make her seem like she's just there and completely useless lol.
Wow. I would watch that film. Doesn't make any less sense than what they did.
That is the thing about the prequels: it's hard to make them any worse. I'm watching this and thinking, "Well, at least that would have been interesting."
Admittedly a somewhat interesting idea to kick around. However, while the trailer was well-made, I personally don't think the music fit well with it at all. Moreover, I don't see how this would be any better than the Prequels. Padme building the Empire *instead* of Palpatine would be downright absurd; if this were the plot of the Prequels, then it would just be trading one [allegedly] bad plot for another . An interesting idea, but nothing more.
Darth Padme/Empress Amidala is probably the best AU idea I've every heard and the best solution to the total crapfest that was the Prequel Triolgy. i really do wish that the real prequels were just like this trailer. It could actually work quite well without major plot holes with the OT if done just right.
So, Padme seizes power as empress, Palpatine provides the part of her second in command and Anakin is being strung along by his wife. Then Palpatine secretly has Padme killed and is revealed as the guy pulling the strings the whole time. Anakin is so broken that he becomes Palpatines student, resulting in the final battle, the placement of Palpatine as emperor, along with the galvanization of Vader.
Holy crap, that would actually be an original and compelling story.
Funny thing is, condensing the prequels into one tightly edited movie (and cutting all the mind-bogglingly stupid acrobatics) would have actually improved this abortion of a trilogy.
If Padme had been the architect of the Empire, the irony of her children being its foremost dissidents, alone, would be the stuff of literary and cinematic legend. Shakespeare couldn't touch that--he didn't write epics that spanned generations.
Just think of it: Vader even more of a fallen angel; Obi-Wan, the world-weary warrior who knew far too much for his liking; or the tragedy of the Skywalker offspring, all the more tragic.
Lucas missed out on a potential masterpiece.. and thus did we =(
@SomeSojourner I just can't get over it... it would have been masterful. Padme a duplicitous person of amazing proportions. Smiling and displaying kindness to the most wholesome people in the series, but really just a mask for a mind even more diabolical then that of Palpatine. She would see in Anakin a person who she can manipulate through grief and torment to the dark side. Palpatine a well meaning man trying by whatever means to hold together a disintegrating republic.
@SomeSojourner You could even keep Jar-Jar binks in some capacity... the irony of the most well meaning person (and his people) being duped by the most evil would be amazing. I would even keep some of the stupid funny interactions they had... and then have his people slaughtered by the trade guild. She could even give a MacGuffin (some sort of thing the trade guild could "track" and would desperately want) to Jar Jar, which CAUSES the trade guild to attack his people.
@SomeSojourner No it would have been a too cold oigin for Luke ans Leuia SW aleways has lifghtness in the tragedies, so no the motgher of Lke and Leia should stay goood, alsoit comes of too sexist.
The Padme from the prequels is the most vapid, thoughtless, senseless, hyper-sexualized, weak, plot device of a character that I've ever seen. It offends me as a woman. She has no reason to exist other than the fact that Lucas needed her to have kids and die, making Anakin turn to the dark side. She has no personality and has no presence or motivation.
Making her more important to the plot and more interesting doesn't make it MORE sexist, you idiot.
@shigurenovelist 1. I am sorry I have a nerve problrm and could you try bnot to swear, 2. She wasn`t sexualised at all, unlike Leia she never had a moment swe was trambling and excited next to Anakkin. She did have personality, she had a strong sense of responsible and care for her planet and the republoc, always tried to folow the peacefull route but fought when neccaserry, she loves nature, she hates being patronised and treated as a kid etc. She did have an importan role, but ,aking her a...
2. Dude, really? She was hyper-sexualized. Not as bad as the metal bikini, but still bad.
3. She acted out what the plot needed her to. She fell in love with a killer and then got upset in the third movie when he killed kids. Her desires, goals, motivations, ideas, and REASONS FOR LOVING ANAKIN are a garbled mess.
4. The only reason for her to be included in the plot are for her to die and have kids. I have to reiterate this.
1. What planet do you live on where idiot is a swear word? Out of all the words in the dictionary I choose one that was pretty low-key. Seriously? Idiot wasn't even a swear-word when I was 5.
2. Hello? What about that white outfit that has her entire midsection exposed that's for sale at halloween stores everywhere? What about that cleavage-revelling outfit in front of a fireplace on naboo? What about the outfit that reveals her entire back when Anakin is rambling about sand?
@reviewreviewer1 Insultive isn't a word. If you're sister is wearing something like what Padme was wearing by the ocean on Naboo, then I hope you live in a warm climate...
You said she didn't wear thin, revealing clothing. I just pointed out thin, revealing clothing. You're really bad at this arguing thing. You're going around in circles.
3. That's racist. Period. They are humanoids. They are just like a savage people... there are so-called "savage" native people everywhere. If *I* went to kill the Haudenosaunee, my lover probably would say something to the police.
4. Every thing she does is a reaction to something else. How many times do I have to say that?
Her attempt at what Dooku? Her attempt at defeating Dooku? But the boys end up taking care of that anyway and she doesn't DO ANYTHING.
They may be hmanoids, but they are of a savage species, and it is intelegence what makes us human, they aren`t just a savage tribe, it is in their nature. Eeven old Episode IV Ben discribed them as such, ehen he sauid they are easily scareed but come back in greater numbers, that is a disriminaion odf instictive animalidstic beghaviour, not a form of culture, cayse i human culture, not all people reacr the same, cause they are individuals1!!!!!
@reviewreviewer1 Intelligence is NOT what makes us human. The ability to communicate with syntax is. And just because something is not intelligent doesn't mean someone has the right to kill it. And they ARE intelligent, they make huts, they hunt, they resemble indigenous nomads. The resemble native americans, arabs, celts, inuits and...
EVEN IF I WENT OUT AND SLAUGHTERED A BUNCH OF DIRTY, SMELLY PIGS BECAUSE I WAS ANGRY, MY LOVER WOULD STILL BECOME UPSET AND DISTRAUGHT.
@shigurenovelist No not p[ractical, intelegence, moral intelegence, I dion`t consider Biorg drones huan either, or some humkan cults for that mstters. Alaso IO think you loved would understand when you killed a an entire Borg kube, tha killed your mother, no wait tortured, your only family too death when you were 17!!!!!!!
Why are we talking about the borg? If I were on the Starship and my crush went out and killed a whole bunch of borg when we were 17, regardless of circumstance, I would be upset and distraught if they did it...
A: Without going by Federation protocol (Jedi code).
B: All on his own, nobody else knowing about it, including their superior (Obi-Wan).
C: Post-disobeying orders, becoming upset/raging/psychotic/out-of-control and not seeking help (From Yoda or whoever).
@shigurenovelist Regardless of circumsstances. Well I think the circumsrtance, there whole tribe with noone stoppid them, tortured his only family to dath, I think that would mak it siomewhat understandable, he`d slayghter the tribed of vicioyus animals. It`s totally justisfied. Also in such xcircumstances it`s natural yoy don`t follow specigidc codes, everyione breaks riuls in certain circumstances. Ofcourse he didn` consult anyone he was in rage!!!!
@reviewreviewer1 You're loosing focus again. These circumstances ARE important, because Lucas INTENDED us to take it that way.
Lucas was making a point by Anakin slaughtering women and children that he was gravitating toward the dark side because he was killing innocent bystanders in a feud because of his uncontrollable anger. This was part of his character development. I am merely making the point that while this is happening Amidala's....
@shigurenovelist Yes slaughter on famikly of the killers is a sigbn of possible tur to the darkside. But a sign is not tje same as being evil or acting wvil, a form of forshadowing and a very questionable and low level evil act, is different from true evil.
@shigurenovelist Not but minimal darkside, and total darkside, and morally ambigious and horrific ar e different. Anakin`s slaughter wass a level 2 evil, killing yiunglings and a levell 35!!!!
I guess the difference here is that my personal moral code doesn't really match the moral code of a video game. I see ruthless unnecessary killing as ruthless unnecessary killing. And that's it. Sorry?
@shigurenovelist Uh I see adifference between let`s say killinhg an ant and a human, unless you are vegetstrian you think in levels also, snf uh a kid stealing candy and stealing cars!!!!!!
Do you enjoy stealing a kid's candy? Do you enjoy killing ants? Do you enjoy killing something for its meat? Then you probably progress and keep doing worse things. Anakin's uncontrollable rage was not coupled with guilt for killing them. It was coupled with grief for his mother, and greed for wanting her to still be around him.
I just think Amidala should've recognized that lack of remorse.
@shigurenovelist No I nevver stole candy. But I did kil ants. I don`t enjoy killing frogs ants, yep certainly, case they ae incredibl menacing. Anakin showed no remorse, cause it wasn`t needed. He was totally justisfied!!!
@reviewreviewer1 No, he wasn't! You keep saying that. Ignoring the obvious point that our moral codes are really different, Lucas had intended for Anakin to display an weakness for the darkside in this scene. It is the purpose for the scene. For example, Luke Skywalker did not go on a rampage killing ALL of the storm troopers (clone troopers... whatever) after they killed aunt beru.
@shigurenovelist Yes it was a form of forshadowing a slifghtly ecvil or quetonsable act. There ae levels of evil. Duh. Some things are worse then others abd this was suposed too be questionable and forshadiowing but also understandable and forgibvabkwe.
@reviewreviewer1 Not. Justified. Understandable, maybe. Forgivable, it's up to the person. But by God, it is NOT justified. A sensible senator, someone who has power and knowledgable should recognize that.
I'm beginning to think you are just a troll. I mean, seriously. I'm beating a dead horse here. I think you need to think more in terms of screenwriting rather than just your speculation and attitude.
@shigurenovelist Uh killing a tribe of animals is justisfied top anyone who is nt a vegetarian, so in case you are not a vbegetarian, you know I am right. Espivialy when they killed your mom.
@reviewreviewer1 Amidala's character development was ignored. She reacted the opposite way of what her previous character development led us to believe: that she was supposedly a smart, sensible, compassionate, logical young woman who was supposed to be headstrong like Leah and not take no crap from useless men.
Her character flip flops and does a 180... she quietly listens, tells no on about this instance, and gets married anyway.
This is contradictory to her previous character development.
@shigurenovelist Sensible and compasionate is both a reason too react the way she did, and being smart aldo. Sje uis smart enough to know that the Sandpeople are tnot human, and she is compasionate enough to be understanding and kind. Logical and headstrong doesn`t mean critical, mean or overjudgemental. All these things don`t mean she would have a guy arrested or jate someone, espicialu Anakin fgor killing a bounch of mosters.
@shigurenovelist Sher didn`t haave him indulge in it, she showed understanding and comforted him. Sjh married him, cause he was usualy a brave Jedi who endures himself for the sake of society, and his main dream was too jhelp others, and he was usualy veryy nice espicialy towards her, and she just loved him, because he said nice things, showed apreciation towards her, and cause they shared interests. HIM KILING sANDPEOPLE CHANGED NOTHING. cAUSE IT ISN`T HORRIBLE ESPICIALY WHEN THEy kill your mom
@shigurenovelist She obviousl loved him because of theuir similar interests, how much he loved her and how nice and kind he was, and how well they related.
Where in the movie are you talking about? Where in the movie does this happen where they have a conversation about how they have similar interests? What? Do they both like space paint-ball and talk about it in an edited scene from the movie?
@shigurenovelist Theyy talk about a love for nature and the homeworld of Naboo at the vista bu the lake, remember??? they both discuss plitics!!! They borth discuss groweing up. that`s 3. Also they both always thuibnk about society, they both discuss love a lot, they both discuss their lives etd....
Naboo: He grew up with sand, "not like here.... here everything is soft and smooth." They both LIKE naboo doesn't mean they have similar interests. Any human would like Naboo.
Growing up: He was a slave. She was a queen. Couldn't be more different.
Politics: they completely disagree about.
Love: Loophole in Jedi doctrine? Marginally interesting. Doesn't mean she loves him back. Not a similar interest.
@shigurenovelist Yes Anakin loves the nature of Naboo, which not everyione has apreciation fioer, only sensitive people. No they related to tjhei recent growing up and struge with their mentors. which were similsr, tey were important but also marginalised. tjhey don`t disagree, that much, and they just love thinking abhout it. They bnoth like to discuss liove. lives, they both serr society, and try to help the wotrld, both deals with politics and assasinations.
@reviewreviewer1 Do you really thing any of this is grounds for Padme to love Anakin? Really in the large scheme, these reasons seem like grasping at straws. They're both attractive, they smile, the talk without yelling at each other.... so they're in love? Love doesn't really work that way.
Besides they DO disagree, when talking about politics Padme actually comes close to getting angry and Anakin has to tell a joke to relieve the tension so that it doesn't turn into a confrontation.
Wel guess what love kind of does work that way when people are happe around eachother and can easly talk together ad get along well, they can bond more and enjoy being togethe this is meccaserry for noprmal love, this i shown is smiling and talking. It`s not grasping at syraws Anakin and Padme tal a lot abourt there shared love for beaury and and also about their shared sense of respnsibility and there caring for the world, also they canjust b relaxed around eahother, ublike Han ad Lea!!
@reviewreviewer1 And then when she questions Anakin about younglings in the third movie her character does an 180 again! Before she had given up her forward-thinking mentality and simply trusted him. She goes back to having that moral ground, and sees Anakin for what he truly is.
Even though he's been that way for the entire time and she saw what he was and what he was capable of before!
This is a contradiction! Even people who love these prequels accept that fact, why can't you?
@shigurenovelist Uh because I think these is a big difference between forshadowing of terue evil, and lightly evil acts, and truely horriblre crimes. Supporting an enlightened dicatorship, is different from supporting a cruel supressive evil di9ctatoraship, and killing sandfpeop;le and killing humans is miles away from eachother. I`d react the samwea as Padme both times.
A dictatorship is destined to turn evil, as long as a human is at the forefront of it. Killers are often bound to kill again, if they don't feel consequence or guilt for it. Seeing seedlings of evil flourish and doing nothing about it is wrong, or foolish. Foreshadowing and seeing ahead to the future is a part of wisdom, which I thought Padme would have had a least a little of... maybe that's why I don't relate to her, huh?
@shigurenovelist Uh no why would a dictatorship tuern evil. the only differendce irt is the rule of 1, bnot 51 %. There have been many wise dictators!!!! Also uh again he wasn`t a killer, just a slaughterer. IA killed a frog when 4, sent me too jsail.
@reviewreviewer1 Give me an example of a true dictator with REAL power who has not done crimes against humanity, like imprison people for no reason, or murder, or start useless wars, much like Palpatine himself.
The main definition of "slaughter" is "killing animals for food". Anakin didn't eat the sand people, he killed for the sake of revenge. The other definition of slaughter is WORSE than murder, so I don't get the point you're making.
@shigurenovelist HanHand Wendi, Han Jingdi, Philipuss II, Djer Den, Han Gaozu, Emperor Augustus, Alexdander I, Darius The Great, Xerxces I, ArtaXerxes III, Han Zhangdi, etc
Uh yeah well killing ani,als for revenge is cruel, but not the same a killing inocent humans. whether it is for fgood or not is les important then hoeintelegent it is. You don`t kill yiunglingd for food either. No I just stepped on it whe 4 and felt guilty. teah always kil ants cause I am alergtic and they get everywhere.
@reviewreviewer1 The chinese dictators you mention are not as well known about because another dictator, Mao, got rid of a lot of old literature and burned books during the revolution.
Alexander, Darius, Xerxces, and etc. all 1. Killed thousands of people in wars. 2. Made thousands of people slaves and POW. 3. Got rid of people who questioned them. Just because history glorifies them as great rulers doesn't mean they didn't kill, murder, rape, imprison or force people into slavery. Seriously.
@shigurenovelist enough is known of the Chines rulers check wikui. 2. yes they fouyght wars for good purposes, aND yes they killed people that rebelled, ythey just sterong meausures, but they weren`t quilty off things like rape. and slavbery was just normal at thw time. it wa also emforced by early American democratic presidents.
@shigurenovelist Wiki does have trustworthy knowledge, and is a reliable source. There is no record of raope an it seems beloew thei r standards. Wars can be good, cause they create advanced and prosperous empires. Yes and tjhe presidents were democratiicly eleted.
@reviewreviewer1 You've obviously never been to school. Wiki may have SOME knowledge but anyone... ANYONE... can go in and change it. That's why you don't use Wiki for any academic work, and you really shouldn't trust it to make an argument pro-dictators.
There's no record of rape probably because women had no say back then and didn't learn how to write. Women were considered once sub-human, they were considered what you consider the sandpeople to be.
@reviewreviewer1 Prosperous empires are created on the backs of the silent burdened masses who have to suffer and die for it. What about Palpatine's advanced and prosperous empire? Palpatine was elected in a democracy. Aren't we meant to believe that Palpatine's quest for power was due to the fact that he was EVIL?
Star Wars is based on myths. It's a story that explains and expands upon good versus evil. About how power corrupts. The fact that you don't understand any of this makes me sad.
@shigurenovelist Uh with power comeas evil, uugh, no. Does that mean we huimans should always tay litlle, and aren`t allowed to to outgrow god?// does it mean we should stop advancing?????? he wanted the power to fix the things he hated, , is that wrong. Power is not bad when you want to use it for good goals. otherwuse, medicine presidents, strong sporters etc are all wrong. Power does not mean evil. not eeryone becomes corrupted, humands aremn`t that weak!!!!!!
D: Expressing desires to become powerful enough to prevent other people from dying (me).
E: If this was within weeks of re-meeting each other for the first time in 10 years (so I have no idea whether or not these fits of rage are frequent).
F: I was pretty much the only person he talked to about this (except for Palpatine for some reason).
And... apples and oranges! Part of the point of him killing "women and children" was that they would seem a little bit helpless.
@shigurenovelist Ofcourse he expresses desire the have tht power, I wisjh I had. Uh she knows it`s nit frequet, cause you know it was because his only family just got tortured to death. She new im as a kd, and disd see huim for a few weeks, and is close with him, so koews it is not frequent. She just rusts on that, and she was right!!! Yes he trells you a persoal; secret case he trus yyou and loves you. Yes they were a bit hrlpless, or atleast it was not in selfdefense abnd i was a skaughter.
@reviewreviewer1 Give it up, already. For pete's sake. You've been making this "intelligent monsters" argument over and over and even though I've ripped it to shreds, you still cling to it. I guess I don't understand. You obviously relate to Amidala in the movies and I can't stop you from that, but that doesn't make your argument make any more sense than it did twelve comments ago.
@shigurenovelist Uh how did you rid my cdomment about the sandpeople to shreds?????? 1. the facrt they are intelegent does nit ake them human, they are an evil noncompesionae species. 2. the people things stands fior their physiology. 3. uh Owen who knows a lot about te samdpeople and was very nice said thhis. 4. Obi Wan in IV said they wouldrun fast but return in greater numbersd which is a discriptio of uinsdtinvctive behaviour. pl;ease explain how they are human???/
@reviewreviewer1 Because it doesn't matter whether or not they are human. The point of the scene is so Lucas can show us how Anakin has turned slowly toward the dark side. Instead of hiding this from Amidala (which was the logical choice) he chose to have her stay in the room, even though this lead to complications in character motivation and logic and emotion of the moment. This is because Lucas needed Anakin to rant and Amidala was the only other character present.
@shigurenovelist Yees it was a step to the darkside, their arw certainly levekl in evil and the darkside. Padme forgives level 2. not 35. or uh soryy I meant 36.
I don't think I've ever heard Hall of the Mountain King with words.

Anakin is so broken that he becomes Palpatines student, resulting in the final battle, the placement of Palpatine as emperor, along with the galvanization of Vader.
Holy crap, that would actually be an original and compelling story.

If Padme had been the architect of the Empire, the irony of her children being its foremost dissidents, alone, would be the stuff of literary and cinematic legend. Shakespeare couldn't touch that--he didn't write epics that spanned generations.
Just think of it: Vader even more of a fallen angel; Obi-Wan, the world-weary warrior who knew far too much for his liking; or the tragedy of the Skywalker offspring, all the more tragic.
Lucas missed out on a potential masterpiece.. and thus did we =(

@SomeSojourner I just can't get over it... it would have been masterful. Padme a duplicitous person of amazing proportions. Smiling and displaying kindness to the most wholesome people in the series, but really just a mask for a mind even more diabolical then that of Palpatine. She would see in Anakin a person who she can manipulate through grief and torment to the dark side. Palpatine a well meaning man trying by whatever means to hold together a disintegrating republic.

Learn. To. Spell.
The Padme from the prequels is the most vapid, thoughtless, senseless, hyper-sexualized, weak, plot device of a character that I've ever seen. It offends me as a woman. She has no reason to exist other than the fact that Lucas needed her to have kids and die, making Anakin turn to the dark side. She has no personality and has no presence or motivation.
Making her more important to the plot and more interesting doesn't make it MORE sexist, you idiot.

Ofcourse he didn` consult anyone he was in rage!!!!
reviewreviewer1 1 year ago
@reviewreviewer1 You're loosing focus again. These circumstances ARE important, because Lucas INTENDED us to take it that way.
Lucas was making a point by Anakin slaughtering women and children that he was gravitating toward the dark side because he was killing innocent bystanders in a feud because of his uncontrollable anger. This was part of his character development. I am merely making the point that while this is happening Amidala's....

@shigurenovelist Yes slaughter on famikly of the killers is a sigbn of possible tur to the darkside. But a sign is not tje same as being evil or acting wvil, a form of forshadowing and a very questionable and low level evil act, is different from true evil.

@reviewreviewer1
Do you enjoy stealing a kid's candy? Do you enjoy killing ants? Do you enjoy killing something for its meat? Then you probably progress and keep doing worse things. Anakin's uncontrollable rage was not coupled with guilt for killing them. It was coupled with grief for his mother, and greed for wanting her to still be around him.
I just think Amidala should've recognized that lack of remorse.
shigurenovelist 11 months ago
@shigurenovelist No I nevver stole candy. But I did kil ants. I don`t enjoy killing frogs ants, yep certainly, case they ae incredibl menacing. Anakin showed no remorse, cause it wasn`t needed. He was totally justisfied!!!
reviewreviewer1 11 months ago
@reviewreviewer1 No, he wasn't! You keep saying that. Ignoring the obvious point that our moral codes are really different, Lucas had intended for Anakin to display an weakness for the darkside in this scene. It is the purpose for the scene. For example, Luke Skywalker did not go on a rampage killing ALL of the storm troopers (clone troopers... whatever) after they killed aunt beru.

@reviewreviewer1 Amidala's character development was ignored. She reacted the opposite way of what her previous character development led us to believe: that she was supposedly a smart, sensible, compassionate, logical young woman who was supposed to be headstrong like Leah and not take no crap from useless men.
Her character flip flops and does a 180... she quietly listens, tells no on about this instance, and gets married anyway.
This is contradictory to her previous character development.
shigurenovelist 11 months ago
@shigurenovelist Sensible and compasionate is both a reason too react the way she did, and being smart aldo. Sje uis smart enough to know that the Sandpeople are tnot human, and she is compasionate enough to be understanding and kind. Logical and headstrong doesn`t mean critical, mean or overjudgemental.

Besides they DO disagree, when talking about politics Padme actually comes close to getting angry and Anakin has to tell a joke to relieve the tension so that it doesn't turn into a confrontation.

@shigurenovelist Uh because I think these is a big difference between forshadowing of terue evil, and lightly evil acts, and truely horriblre crimes.

reviewreviewer1 11 months ago
@reviewreviewer1
A dictatorship is destined to turn evil, as long as a human is at the forefront of it. Killers are often bound to kill again, if they don't feel consequence or guilt for it. Seeing seedlings of evil flourish and doing nothing about it is wrong, or foolish. Foreshadowing and seeing ahead to the future is a part of wisdom, which I thought Padme would have had a least a little of... maybe that's why I don't relate to her, huh?

@reviewreviewer1 Give me an example of a true dictator with REAL power who has not done crimes against humanity, like imprison people for no reason, or murder, or start useless wars, much like Palpatine himself.
The main definition of "slaughter" is "killing animals for food". Anakin didn't eat the sand people, he killed for the sake of revenge. The other definition of slaughter is WORSE than murder, so I don't get the point you're making.

There's no record of rape probably because women had no say back then and didn't learn how to write. Women were considered once sub-human, they were considered what you consider the sandpeople to be.

Palpatine was elected in a democracy. Aren't we meant to believe that Palpatine's quest for power was due to the fact that he was EVIL?
Star Wars is based on myths. It's a story that explains and expands upon good versus evil. About how power corrupts. The fact that you don't understand any of this makes me sad.

Instead of hiding this from Amidala (which was the logical choice) he chose to have her stay in the room, even though this lead to complications in character motivation and logic and emotion of the moment. This is because Lucas needed Anakin to rant and Amidala was the only other character present.
Should have been Owen there

@shigurenovelist Like anyone else.
Owen makes more sense screenwriting wise, because in a New Hope, Owen has a lot of animosity toward Anakin when Luke brings him up.

@shigurenovelist No je is juist worried about Luke becoming evil like his father, and the anomisity was towards him now being vader.
