Luke'sMaster Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 My best guess is emperor Palpatine but then the question comes to mind on how. How does a leader destroy the senate when it is mainly based on votes of others and he is really there to over see it? Does he maybe assainate world leaders or does he take over planets and threaten there lives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 he doesnt destroy it. it is still in existence when the Empire is there, just with new people and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortoCG Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Now really, Palpatine did disolve the senate. In Episode IV, Moff Tarkin says the Emperor disolved the senate and that he was going to control the systems with local governors. That's why Moffs are for. Moff Tarkin, Moff Jerjerrod, Moff Rebus (EU), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke'sMaster Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 I think what Corto said was true but also I think that there is no Republic view in the senate just the Empire, and a few neutral colonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 there is an Imperial Senate. Thats what Leia was apart of. 'I am a member of the Imperial Senate-' 'You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor, take her away' see there is an Imperial Senate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke'sMaster Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 So then I guess that proves one of my other topics correct then. Thankyou. But then I also must say that there no information on exactly (or even generally) where this senate meets and talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Yes there is, they meet on Coruscant in the Senate Building whihc I assume is the same as the one used in the prequels, though it doesnt much matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke'sMaster Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 How did you learn that? Did you read it? I'm pretty sure you didn't hear it in one of the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 yeah, i read it. I cant tell you which now, but I believe it's one of the few that I dont have but got from the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke'sMaster Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 would you happen to know what series or what the front cover looked like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 It's the New Rebellion. It isnt about the Imps its about the New Rebels. but it does mention that the senate hall was used by the Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortoCG Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 The imperial senate is like the nazi council. Just a cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke'sMaster Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Yeah but a cover for what reason. I mean who could stop them? They had complete control practically until the Death Star was destroyed for the first time then it started to slow down for them but once the emperor was destroyed that seemed to have been the end of a major control factor.

CortoCG Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 They had to keep the cover until the Death Star was finished, then the Emperor could finally disolve the so called Senate. The got cocky and overconfident in their technological error before they could reach their apogee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke'sMaster Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 I didn't understand to much of that message... Not sure if you're falling asleep.. just waking up or just in a hurry but you might want to fix the message so some can read the thing CLEARLY.

CortoCG Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 First things first: abre los ojos. Now, I'm making my point about why the Emperor had an Imperial Senate, and why he disolved it. I only deduct things from what I see in the movies. I don't like EU or alternate readings, I think they're bullsh1t, approved by Lucas for the only purpose of earning some more of the mighty buck.

yaebginn Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I like the EU. They are a continuation of the story I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortoCG Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I won't say is not likeable, so it's ok with me that ppl like it. I don't like ppl getting too technical becuz they've read some books I don't know about. As for the EU itself, well, I like Dark Forces and Shadows of The Empire. They seem to be good stories to go in between the original trilogy movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomie Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 But the old senate is gone. That's also whatb they talked about, i believe. 'The senate is gone, the last trails of the old republic are dead' or something like that. Someone said that during the meeting in wich Darth Vader almost chokes that guy but is stopped by Tarkin.

CortoCG Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Pointless, a senate with an emperor is pointless. The roman empire proved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke'sMaster Posted July 4, 2004 Author Share Posted July 4, 2004 Ah yes you are right about that but there was still great power with the emperor and you must remember his legion started to make the amazing Empire and practically made Rome the most powerful force to ever exist with its many places they had conquered.

CortoCG Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 The senate, in most cases, is as powefull as corrupt, that's why they brought down many empires. I don't think Palpatine was fool enough to conserve a senate corrupting the base of his new empire. He was the only ruler, the big cheese, the guy with cojones. No imperial senate was needed.
