    I would be lying if I didn't find some of the things Jello says to be creepy.

    I honestly though it was heavy sarcasm or an act.

    It is, its called "role playing". I'm sure jello really does believe Palpatine was an evil monster who deserved to be defeated by the Rebellion or that Palpatine was evil for allowing children to be murdered, but if he said stuff like that out loud here, that would be OOC for the role he plays here as a loyal imperial.

    Guys, let's try not to break the fourth wall here. It's....unseemly.

    Y'know, this suspicion of His Majesty and one of his greatest followers borders heavily on treason. If it ceases now, I promise I won't tell anyone, but not everyone is as generous as I.

    This is not a role playing forum.

    There's a section of the forum for that- the Roleplaying section. This isn't it.

    Anakin murdered them all because they happened to belong to the same tribe and the same race as the people who murdered his mother. Which is why his action under no rational standard qualifies as moral or justified, but is rather murder and genocide.

    did not say he had a good reason for it, but i do undertsand it.

    Yup. Han's perspective- that it was bad, but very very human- seems fairer.

    Quite! A comic book would be best. Something fitting in Star Wars Tales category.

    The conversation Han and Leia had on this subject in Tatooine Ghost was the best conversation I have ever read on it.

    I remember the day I had exactly the same reaction to the realization. It's always bittersweet for me to see someone else experience those horrible, horrible emotions. Welcome to the family, Esg.

    I've actually seen him break character before. I can't remember which thread it was, but it happened and it was glorious. I think it was around 2010 or so. All I remember about the thread is Dewback was there.

    He broke character to lambast some other pro-Imperial poster. All I remember is the guy making some extremely stupid assertion, and Iello calling him out on it. Once again, the only other thing I remember is that dewback_rancher also pointed out that the Grand Admiral had broken character. EDIT: Jello also admitted to having broken character during the thread. I'm not making this up.

    It's not like he's unique in utilizing a character on the boards- back when he was a regular poster, Thrawn McEwok used to post all sorts of reading-against-the-text theories (Luke Skywalker is the reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, Jag is a clone, Jaina and Kyp did it between Dark Journey and Enemy Lines) to get people to think in different ways about the text.

    I don't recall the incident in question, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I am very scatterbrained and absent-minded, after all, so forgetting things is not really that unexpected. :p

    My gut reaction is to call it a conspiracy theory.

    Ah, the Hetts! What (if anything) did they do to to sort the Tusken/Farmer conflict out? Wasn't Hett Junior still a Jedi when he lost his arm while leading a war party against the Lars farm? It seems the exact opposite of what a Jedi should have been doing.

    Well, it was post-ROTS, when he had basically given up being a Jedi and gone back to being a Tusken Raider.

    Dear god... most annoying thing I've seen all month ^:)^

    That's Zelda? At least now I know why they decide to keep Link a silent hero.
