ST Who's The Baddie?

I'm undecided about that.
I still feel Maul was a missed opportunity and that Dooku was underused. They could have easily been merged into one character and it would have worked much better.

 

You might find it interesting that I read that at one point during the writing of AOTC, Dooku and Tyranus were intended to be separate characters.

 

I say good luck to Arndt. I'm sure there'll be people that'll bitch and moan for sure.

 

I want to add that based on the logic that all darksiders are Sith, all darksiders/Sith follow the Rule of Two.

 

Dooku, Sidious, and Ventress. Three concurrent dark side users.

 

Ventress is NOT a Sith.

 

She also is not in the films. I would be hesitant to use her as an example.

 

Like what we had in the PT? Problem is, there was a lot of people who hated that arrangement, no?

 

The main villain of the PT Darth Sidious wasn't seen all that often. He was in the background for all of AOTC until the end. If we have a main villain for the ST whoever it is needs to be as prominent as Vader was in the OT and not like Darth Sidious in the PT. In the OT we had Tarkin and Vader. In ESB we had Fett and Vader, in ROTJ we had Jabba, Vader and Palpatine. That worked.

 

She was however in TCW, so apparently Lucas had no reservations about such a character.

 

I get the feeling that Lucas was setting up a possible ST storyline during the TCW production, and so that being said, it's possible that we'll being seeing the likes of Rotta the Hutt, bounty hunter Cad Bane, space pirate Hondo Ohnaka, and maybe even Asajj Ventress and Darth Maul, too. If the're still alive, that is, and especially if they aren't rid of in the last season of the Clone Wars. None of these characters are human, so it's possible they could still be young of age.

 

Sidious is an overarching villain in both trilogies, actually.

 

If you look at the OT by itself, Sidious is still an overarching villain. I feel like your posts are implying otherwise.

 

Palpatine was only seen in person in ROTJ. Vader was the big bad guy we saw for the whole trilogy.

 

Except that:
1. He's Vader's master (although I'll admit that ANH never states that).
2. He's the Emperor of the evil Empire.

 

All he did in ESB was deliver a message. Palpatine might have been the villain of the Saga but of the OT by itself I would have to say Vader. I prefer overt villains to villains that do stuff behind the scenes. Vader led the battle on the Tantive 4, the first Death Star, led the hunt for the Rebels etc. That's my problem with Sidious in the PT. We only see him in person once in TPM and in AOTC. He was good and all in the hologram in TPM but we didn't see him in AOTC until the end of the movie. Instead we got Maul, Dooku, Fett and the Trade Federation. They do not compare to Vader at all.

 

Didn't Lucas say years ago that one idea was that a minor character in the PT with a larger role in the OT would be the main villain in the ST? I wonder how much of that will be followed if any of it. As far as I can tell, the only two that survived both trilogies are R2D2 and C3P0, so unless one of them is hiding something . . .

 

No. He talked about a hero from ROTJ and it got misinterpreted to refer to a villain from ROTS.

 

What's the actual quote?

 

"It deals with the character that survives Star Wars III and his adventures."

 

Oh okay.

I'm still predicting Thrawn will be the villain in Ep 7, even as just a one-shot villain, to bring in EU fans.
