Lieutenant_kettch Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Originally posted by InsaneSith this was to create a state of panic to where padme needed to challenge Chancellor Velorem(sp?), and ultimately vote for Palpatine to take the place of Chancellor through a vote of no confidence, this was step one into gaining supreme powers. ahh yes, i can't believe i didn't realize that*hangs head in shame* but don't you think it was a little risky, i mean, what if padme got killed during the war? no padme=no challenge=no emergency powers, also no padme=no ani+padme, which may keep ani light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 RISKY!!!!!!!!!!! Look what you are talking about. This is the guy who allowed the Rebels to know the location of the shield generator. Besides, I doubt he knew enough about Anakin at the time to care about Padme. At the time, she would merely be a martyr if she died. Besides, she was in no danger until after he got his challenge. As far as the emergency powers, I have no doubt that he would be able to find another way to get them. The motion passed, and Jar Jar was not stoned for suggesting it, I'm sure they could have found some one who would propose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the amount of programming available, I imagine the TF probably had all the droids designed to capture rather than hurt/kill her (don't shoot her or shoot on stun only). After all, the TF had to answer to Sidious, and given his need for Amidala to oust Valorium I'm sure he'd make sure that the TF didn't harm her. At least, not until he was elected and granted emergency powers (and even in the latter case, she wasn't specifically necessary). Accidents can happen, but with both sides trying to keep her alive it's likely she'd be ok. Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Right, as was clearly seen in the movie. They did capture her, and the way that Palpatine made sure she would not be killed was to tell the TF that she needed to sign a treaty, hence they needed to capture her alive.

Cyborgninja Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I think the empire strikes back was the darkest movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Solo Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Originally posted by Shok_Tinoktin Maybe not, but think about it. There is no other episode where more went exactly as the bad guy wanted it to. The way the movie was done kind of hided this, but when you really think about all the events, and who profits the most from them, it is not difficult to claim that everything that happened was exactly what Sidious planned. Are you kiddy? When there is a film darker than another than it is AOTC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
