PT Was Palpatine responsible for Shmi Skywalker's death?

In the deleted script, count dooku was responsible for shmi skywalker's death. Is that canon or not, now that the films are released and that was edited out?

 

I already said that. Are you not paying attention?

And no it's not.

 

I disagree. I don't think the Empire would have existed without Anakin. If he had been there to stand against the Sith, I think he would have defeated Sidious after Order 66.

 

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

 

He needed Anakin. If anakin blocked mace windu's lightsaber, palpatine wouldn't have lived on to become emperor. He needed anakin to save him at that moment, so he would have enough time to zap windu with force lightning to defend himself.

Here's a metaphor. A puzzle. Suppose, a puzzle, for instance, has 90 pieces all together. You got 89 pieces so far, without any help too. But your game is missing one piece, for some reason. The puzzle isn't complete.

Same thing with Palpatine and creating the Galactic empire. He manipulates the senate to get more votes and power, starts the clone wars and gets the Separatists involved in a crisis so he could get more power, the support of the Senate so he gets absolute power, gets some loyal clone troopers and followers, and, as others said, be a manipulator, he gets 89 pieces of the puzzle. The Galactic empire existed for about over 20 something years. However, after getting support and absolute power, one thing remained- ruling his empire for 20-30 years. He needed to be saved from mace windu. If mace windu defeated him in the duel, and anakin never helped him out, he would have died right there and the empire wouldn't have existed for the two decades and more that it did in the original trilogy. Anakin was the one puzzle piece he needed, he needed him to be saved from mace windu, or else he would never live to create rule the empire. It wouldn't have existed at all. After being saved from Windu, he became emperor. The first part of the puzzle was him getting absolute power, through starting the clone wars and getting loyalty and elected in the senate because of the conflict. The 2nd part of the puzzle was living to become emperor, and having a 20 year long empire. Anakin was the 2nd puzzle piece.

 

Anakin was nessecary for the 23 yr long existence of the Galactic empire, because, he saved Palpatine from mace windu. If he hadn't done that, palpatine wouldn't have lived on to become emperor and rule the galaxy in terror for 2 decades.

 

I made a new thread about that. Part of it explains Anakin's role in being the chosen one and him working for the empire.

 

The only reason Mace was there in the first place was because Palpatine confessed to Anakin. The clone plan didn't depend on Anakin, as it was concocted before the Sith knew of his existence. If Anakin had not existed Order 66 would have happened without him.

 

But if Anakin was around he would have been one of a handful of Jedi who could stand against Palpatine.

 

Palps tells Anakin
Anakin tells Mace
Mace attempts to defeat the Emperor, the sith, and galactic empire once and for all
Anakin stops him, and because of him, the empire existed and all the bad things they did happened

The only reason Mace was there in the first place was because Palpatine confessed to Anakin. The clone plan didn't depend on Anakin, as it was concocted before the Sith knew of his existence. If Anakin had not existed Order 66 would have happened without him.​

Your quote is correct and explained a lot to me and it makes more sense now, but how do you explain what I wrote above, and below, too?
Anakin was a good guy who had a friendship with Palps, who Palps told he was a sith lord, anakin told windu, windu went to destroy the Sith empire, anakin stopped him and allowed sith empire to be created at a last-minute decision to turn to evil to save Padme.

 

I'm getting tired of these rhetorical questions that are obviously answered in the films...

enough already...

 

Ok.

 

Scenes that aren't in the films aren't canon.

 

I agree. If something is deleted out, the author decided to change the story.

 

It's not a matter of you agreeing or not.

 

What do u mean?

 

Canon isn't defined by fans.

 

deleted scenes are not part of the story anymore

 

Correct-a-mundo.
