A bicameral galactic republic with a lower house in addition to the senate would've probably thrown out the Trade Federation a long before they turned hostile.

[DarkPrimeGS]

How so?

[DarkPrimeGS]

Actually I think I can see what you mean, as the Republic just had the Senate. Didn't know what bicameral meant, sorry.

Ok I hope people don't kill me for this. But I never understood, is Padme (sp?) and the Queen the same person?? Who's the girl who eventually becomes Senator and wife of Anakin? That has always had me confused.

[DarkPrimeGS]

Yes, Padmé Amidala is the Queen, who eventually becomes Senator and marries Anakin. Throughout Episode I and at the start of Episode II, she has decoys disguised as her while the real Queen is disguised as a handmaid (Padmé).

[gschjetne]

Exactly. Big worlds like Coruscant are grossly under-represented with just a single senator, compared to the outer rim, and even simple cartels like the Trade Federation who have somehow forced their way into the Senate.

Proportional representation would make it much harder for violent factions to manipulate senators. And besides, weren't the Republic founded on trade, should protectionism and cartels really be allowed?

Star wars is mirroring real life so much I think certain movies be trying to have a message but people just see the sgi effects.. just like in star wars a false war is being fought... I bet America was just like Palpatin ... in that he knew and was working with the "emeny" and then had him killed... just like in Episode 3

@TheShockMaster I see what you mean, and I agree, but I guess Wincott worked better for Halo 2 and Stamp worked better for Halo 3. :)

[TheShockMaster]

@Foxtrot323

Well, before I say anything, I feel I should be clear that I think both actors gave awesome performances. I could watch either and be perfectly content. However, I respectfully disagree that Stamp was better. Wincott--in my opinion, of course--sounded more manipulative and cunning. You could sense the greed and arrogance, and deceptiveness in every line he delivered. While Wincott had the better acting, Stamp had the better voice...much older, which was more appropriate.

@MutatedLove

I think another thing that confused people was the usage of the term "Queen." In this particular case, "Queen" does not mean what it traditionally implies in...well, the real world, if I may use that term. Rather than being a life-long position as a result of family bloodlines, on Naboo, Queen appears to be an office that one can get elected to, at which point they only serve for a few years before an election for a new Queen (or King?) is held.

@mandalorian9 No sorry, I just happen to like Terrance Stamp better as the Prophet of Truth. Why do you think that Bungie decided to cast him in Halo 3 instead of re-casting Michael Wincott? Martin O'Donell stated (on the Halo 3 Legendary edition disc commentaries) that they cast Stamp because he seemed more like the character they were originally trying to convey. He admitted that Michael Wincott portrayed a good performance, but he just didn't possess that EDGE that Stamp brought to the table.

[mandalorian9]

@Foxtrot323 Before picking favorites think about how the voices helped portray the character. In Halo 2 the Prophet was a calm, pious and seemingly all-knowing. Michael Wincott played that role perfectly. In Halo 3 he became a delusional, fanatic leader who would stop at nothing to achieve salvation through his crumbling empire. Stamp's voice acting portrayed the New Prophet's character excellently.
