Ranre Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Yeah, Palp knew that some jedi were out there. Not all Jedi had Clones on them, just the more experienced such as Obi-wan, Mace, Yoda guys like that. So thats why after Anakin becomes Darth and is put in the suit, they have a crack down/mop up operation for the remaining jedi out there, the very very very few. But there are a few things in EU when old jedi from the Republic way back when come out of hiding and join the new order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that. Palpatine is no fool. This is a long time in the making for him, and he is taking every precaution. He knows that the only way he can rule the galaxy is to destroy the Jedi, and he knows that he would have catch them off gaurd to pull this off before they can go into hiding. There is no way he would let Jedi go off on a mission without making sure he has a large number of clones there as well. He knows that he has to take the Jedi down in one fatal swoop. There are only three ways that Jedi could have avoided the first stages of the purge: 1) fought there way past the clones to safety, like Obi-Wan and Yoda did, 2) left the temple while Anakin and his clones were en route, or 3) been on some unofficial secret mission that Palpatine doesnt know about. The last one is very unlikely, and the second one is not very likely. If any Jedi survived, it is most likely from fighting their way past the clones that were supposed to kill him/her, then escaping before they could finish him/her off.

abespam Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 i gotta disagree shok there were still hundreds of jedis, and its not impossible to think that there were a few that got away. I mean Palpy was smart, but following that many is extremely difficult, especially since the council believed that the chancellor didnt know the exact plans of the jedi. Besides they wouldnt release books that contradicted the movies so clearly after the movie was made. That would be stupid, i mean these books arent even written yet, so u cant blame the authors for poor writing or nething, its the ppl at LA who have the say on what will eventually become a novel, and im sure that they would have a good idea of how rots is panning out. Additionaly the entire scene where obi and yoda disrupt the fake distress call at the jedi council would be unnecessary if there weren't any jedi left oh and lando had his own novel trilogy, "The Adventures of Lando Calrissian".. and some of his story is also revealed in the Han Solo books. This lando business has been argued before in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Reread the part I quoted. I wasn't doubting that there were more Jedi alive, I was doubting that there were Jedi outside of the temple without nearby clones to Sidious' knowledge when he gave Order 66. I even explained the possible ways that Jedi could have survived. I was just not agreeing that Sidious would have only the most experienced Jedi surrounded by clones.

Lynk Former Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Has everyone already forgotten about Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and the Rebel Alliance? Jeebus XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I think it should be about Bail Organa. He had a large part in the film and they have shown his home and wife. They can also show Leia growing up. They can show how she becomes Princess, because I think that Bail Organa is only a senator in the film.

El Sitherino Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Originally posted by Shok_Tinoktin And Vader. Yeah, but I figured that was a given. Once Anakin resurfaced, he had killed Vader. Redeeming himself. His love for Luke in those dying moments are what allowed him to become the force ghost. Luke had saved his life, and he had saved Lukes.

Yes, the balance of the force is an interesting discussion, but it can perhaps exist in another thread ? please use this one for TV series stuff * * * I agree with Lynky - the formation of the rebel alliance has to be one of the central elements of the series I beleive Quinlan Vos does die - it was cut from ROTS but there was a snippet of him in one of the trailer IIRC.... Im also assuming shaak ti's demise was cut from teh film ?? If not, her featuring in the series would be nice mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Yes, Shaak Ti's death was cut from the film. and Vos' death is implied when you hear them talk about him and his TROOPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 OK, back to the TV series... Im sure most of you already know, that like the prequels, the TV shows will be filmed at fox studios in sydney australia.... This report has been getting alot of buzz in the local press here http://www.moviehole.net/news/5661.html Basically, its about an aussie actor, Matthew Newton, who is toted to be in teh running for a role in the series. For those that dont recall his name, he actually was short listed to play anakin in the prequels, but the nod was of course given to Hayden Because the prequels were filmed here it is always suprising the amount of aussie actors that could be spotted. In fact the actors in the last shot of ROTS(playing Owen & Beru) are well known aussie actors maybe I should head up there and try get a role as a young kowakian monkey lizard mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Well I'm glad its not coming out for a while. I'd rather there be no TV series because I don't want Star Wars turned into Star Trek. But I'll still watch it when it does come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idle Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 A TV series based on Luke growing up in a farm isn't exactly great material. A totally EU based series is nice but involve some of the characters from the movies! Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, Tarkin, Piett, Wedge Antilles, etc. I've been hearing that Vader will not be involved in the series, which I really hope is untrue. Good-guys being chased down by Vader and Vaders forces = good thing. There's bound to be an episode based on a character with a bounty on their head, would be cool to see guys like Jabba, Bossk and Fett be involved somehow too. I'm salivating.

Great Scott! Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Well going by the whole fact that they said, "it's going to focus on new characters" kind of says it all.So this automatically means there is going to be no reference at all in any way to characters from the movies?
