That's your precious Jedi, folks. They are DONE. QFT. The Emperor/Empire wouldn't care if they learned that someone like a bounty hunter was a Jedi. He'd given up the old ways, there'd be no reason to do anything about him. Yeah, it would be OC for Palpatine to care about the Jedi at this point.

Gry Sarth posted:Palpy considered Luke to be a threat both for the reasons stated above and because he knew Luke was around and training to become a full-fledged Jedi. Any other surviving Jedi were completely off the radar and Palpy knew nothing about them. It would sound a bit awkward if Palps had told Vader: "The son of Skywalker must NOT become a Jedi. And also, if you happen to run into any other Force-sensitive wannabes, they must also NOT become Jedi. Oh, and if you stumble across one of those old Jedi we never got to during the Purge, they must NOT, uh... continue to be Jedi. ...meaning, kill them. Are we clear then? No Jedi. No Jedi of any kind. Righty-o? Ok. Palpy out."
Drewton posted:He considered Luke to be a threat because he was the son of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and had the potential to be more powerful than Vader and himself. And, unlike Obi-Wan and Yoda, he hadn't just exiled himself on an obscure planet.

And, unlike Obi-Wan and Yoda, he hadn't just exiled himself on an obscure planet. Both Vader and Palpatine assumed that Obi Wan and Yoda was out of the game at the time of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! Darth Vader didn't know that you could come back from the dead, "If you strike me down, I'll become ore powerful, than you could possible imagine" Obi Wan to Vader aboard the Death Star... I don't believe I have to tell you these things, are you fans or simply EU freaks?
Gry Sarth posted:Nett40, do you actually have a point to make regarding this thread? Lately it seems like you just reply to whatever anyone posts, trying your hardest to contradict what's being said by adding any info the person left out and calling that a counter-argument.

You said that the Empire didn't consider the Jedi a threat, I simply referred to the fact that the Empire believed (like Han Solo) that they no longer existed.
nett40 posted:That others agree with me, in making the LAS about the DARK TIMES, and not solely about smugglers, bounty hunters and crime lords (see not bold, italic or underscored).
Drewton posted:You appear to have a completely different version of the Dark Times then what is in canon. It's the DARK times. Not much happens. There's no epic battles. It's about survival and an overall bad life.

It's about survival and an overall bad life. And you think that would make a great TV-series? You simply have to watch the news about the Middle East and you get stories about survival and an overall bad life... Star Wars has to be more than just that, it has to be about the guts to take a stand against that, which every one else has begun to believe in. Although it is against every thing you were brought up believing in. It's good vs. evil, not simply trying to get the best out of what life has to offer. That show has been made it was called "Firefly/Serenity"...
Drewton posted:Well, it's going to be what it's about, so what I think is irrelevant. That's how life is in the Dark Times. There's going to be a lot of morally gray characterization, as has been said somewhere before. I personally think it will be great. More like Empire Strikes Back and Republic Commando in tone. And didn't you say you wanted it to be like Serenity?

And didn't you say you wanted it to be like Serenity? NO, I said it is going to be a TV-series like Star Trek or Serenity. I could add BSG, Farscape and more. Great shows in their own right, but STAR WARS is different. It's not grey and hard to see whose bad and whose good. Its black and white, thats the bad guys blast them...
