AhsokaSkywalker posted:Also, how stupid would Anakin have to be not to notice that contradiction
AhsokaSkywalker posted:But he also yells "I have the power to save the one you love".
Arawn_Fenn posted:AhsokaSkywalker posted:Also, how stupid would Anakin have to be not to notice that contradiction Once again, since Anakin doesn't know that Plagueis was Palpatine's master, there's no contradiction from his POV. AhsokaSkywalker posted:But he also yells "I have the power to save the one you love". Also known as "if we work together".
AhsokaSkywalker posted:Also, how else would he know of Plagius?
AhsokaSkywalker posted:However, even so, he still says that the apprentice, not revealed to Anakin as himself...yet...was taught everything Plagius knew, which would, by implication, mean that the apprentice also knew the power. But he said it had been achieved by only ONE, yet, with the statement that Plagius taught his apprentice EVERYTHING he knew, that would imply that the power had been achieved by at least TWO.
AhsokaSkywalker posted:And also, how did Sidious suddenly become all wrinkled in that scene? Luke didn't become all wrinkled and he was zapped worse than Sidious.
AhsokaSkywalker posted:Why didn't Vader just use that secretly instead of throwing Sidious into the main reactor to save Luke if he did?
AhsokaSkywalker posted:And if he didn't, why didn't it dawn on Anakin that he'd been set up and then he kills his Master for betraying him?
Arawn_Fenn posted:AhsokaSkywalker posted:Also, how else would he know of Plagius? Presumably the Sith have records of earlier Sith. See: holocrons. AhsokaSkywalker posted:However, even so, he still says that the apprentice, not revealed to Anakin as himself...yet...was taught everything Plagius knew, which would, by implication, mean that the apprentice also knew the power. But he said it had been achieved by only ONE, yet, with the statement that Plagius taught his apprentice EVERYTHING he knew, that would imply that the power had been achieved by at least TWO. The apprentice learning Plagueis' knowledge doesn't necessarily mean that the apprentice achieved the ability. He may not have been strong enough in the dark side of the Force to achieve it, or he may have been killed before having adequate time to put the theory into practice. AhsokaSkywalker posted:And also, how did Sidious suddenly become all wrinkled in that scene? Luke didn't become all wrinkled and he was zapped worse than Sidious. That is a completely separate issue. AhsokaSkywalker posted:Why didn't Vader just use that secretly instead of throwing Sidious into the main reactor to save Luke if he did? According to Death Star, neither Plagueis nor Vader learned the ability to "preserve the immortal ego". AhsokaSkywalker posted:And if he didn't, why didn't it dawn on Anakin that he'd been set up and then he kills his Master for betraying him? Mutual dependency, and weakness to Force lightning. He does in fact consider killing Sidious, both in ROTS itself and afterwards, continuing into the OT era. Treachery is the way of the Sith.

Well thats what George will probably do considering kids 9+ really have a liking to all main charecters in seris they are fond of. That would work, but it's still inconclusive. I think if Ahsoka were to survive Order 66, and still be remaining with the Order, than they might show her going off to become part of the Rebellion. Of course, there would still be a period of wait between the Rise of the Empire, and when the Rebellion we know was formed. Do you think that the Empire would hunt her down? They were very thorough in eliminating the Enclaves. Obi-Wan and Yoda were able to survive, but they were both very powerful, and they chose remote locations to hide. AhsokaSkywalker posted:Also, I think I've got just as much of an imagination as GL. Do you ever write fanfiction? You've come up with a lot of theories that could probably be turned into good stories.

GARTH_MAUL posted:Thank you for the last couple of posts. Let's stay on target, troopers. And my feeling is that Ahsoka will go out in a blaze of glory, showing Anakin she truly learned to be an excellent Jedi.
TheMacUnleashed posted:Twi'leks are sentient species, very much so! I think she bit the clone in self-defense. Also, if you look closely, she does have two legs. Sorry; that was off-topic. Anyway, I don't think species has much to do with one's likelihood of turning. Authors, artists, anyone contributing to the EU has an enormous number of species to choose from to work with. Humans, if I remember correctly, have the highest population in the GFFA, so if more of them have gone to the Dark Side, then it's probably because of the greater number. Also, AhsokaSkywalker, I think you hit upon a major point when you said Ahsoka is "Supposed to be a role model...". How far can LucasFilm go before she just becomes a a vessel to rope in younger viewers? I think she needs to be developed more as a character. This could include her turning -After all, how come she's been allowed to show so much emotion without getting reprimanded for it? I expect that Anakin is probably a bit more lenient as a Master than Obi-Wan was, but when we see them onscreen, the usually have another Jedi accompanying them. Why has she gotten away with so much? Another way to develop her would be to actually show her losing a battle. That might, or might not, result in her death. Even if she makes it to Order 66 and she's still a Jedi, for the reasons above, I can't see her surviving. It makes little sense that a seventeen/eighteen year old apprentice could easily survive execution, whereas stronger Jedi -Aayla Secura, for example- who was fully trained could be so easily killed. To be honest, I think her surviving would turn her into what authors refer to as a 'Mary-Sue'- Basically, a character that's way too perfect and can get away with things nobody else could.
