PT The "What-If?" Depository - ALL conceptual/hypothetical conversation goes here

I'm Not sure if this is relevant to ur question. But IMO the reason Maul lost was Obi got Angry And aggressive. Which at first doesn't end well for him, but then while hanging, calms down and jumps and
kills him.

 

Was Dooku also Jedi Master Sifo Dyas? Who was/is Sifo Dyas?

 

You didn't watch The Clone Wars?
It's answered in "The Lost One".

 

Thanks I'll check out the episode summary.

 

I have a question about the Naboo Palace in Theed:

So, in TPM, the palace looks like this:



There's one clear entryway, and the other side is a cliff.

However, in AOTC, Anakin and Padme go to this palace:



This time, there's a massive courtyard out the front, and the palace itself has differing architecture. And yet they still end up in the same throne room from TPM.


In ROTS the palace looks bigger than the TPM version, but isn't the AOTC version either.

The TCW version seems to match the ROTS version most closely:



So what's going on? Is the AOTC version a different palace?

 

Better answer is that you need to watch The Clone Wars.

 

Why was Chancellor Palpatine captured in ROTS? Obvious, he could have prevented that. What purpose did it serve? Just to kill Dooku?

 

To test Anakin and hopefully get rid of Dooku and Obi-Wan.

 

Ah, okay. Thank you Force Smuggler!

 

Either palace expansion under the new queen's preferences or a new palace that was designed by the same interior decorator. Or Naboo tradition to have the same throne room design

 

Still, I'd assume Camp David doesn't have an Oval Office identical to the one in the White House

 

It's been a decade. I'm sure at some point someone thought the palace needed a complete makeover.

 

I'll admit I was skeptical, but look at all these "coincidences!" Thoughts?

 

I'm ready to believe that Mace is alive, and would be interested to see something come out of that. But him being Snoke? It's grasping.

Addressing the points, no one has been scarred by Force lightning; this is people interpreting Palpatine as being burnt, but has since been confirmed as him simply removing a disguise. Every other recipient of lightning hasn't had visible injuries, including Darth Vader, who was hit in much the same way.

Finn is shown no inherent Force powers of his own. Snoke's quote about an awakening is almost certainly referring to Rey, whom became the focus of training later on. Kylo Ren also didn't intentionally keep Finn alive; the audience wasn't even assured he would live until the end of the film.

Finn being related to Mace would be interesting, but due to timelines, he'd have to be a grandson at the least. But I see no reason why he couldn't be, they'd just have to make a compelling connection and backstory to rationalize it.

The most definitive reason that Snoke isn't Mace is that he's not Samuel L. Jackson. They motion captured a completely different actor to play a white alien/human. Ian McDiarmid played Senator Palpatine, which certainly could be considered a twist when he's revealed as Sidious; if they wanted Mace, it would have been Jackson.

 

Casting SLJ would have been a dead give away though.

 

Well my example was Palpatine; Ian McDiarmid was a dead giveaway, but even having the same actor didn't automatically confirm the character. Just look at all the people that argued that Palpatine WASN'T Sidious.

EDIT:
Well we have Mace Windu's opinion on the matter...

The theory was fun and had a few coincidental clues to back it up, but at this point, it's pretty well debunked.

 

ok I have a random question

How did Gunray contact Darth Sidious so quickly at the beginning of TPM, it made it look as if Sidious is on call 24/7 in front of a holo projector just in case the Viceroy wanted him. Palps could have been doing senatorial stuff

 

In ROTS why does Gen Grevois(I know I butchered his name. ) Kidnap Palp? Does he know hes DS?

 

No, he doesn't know Palps is Sidious. Grievous is a tool and a pawn. He is the definition of a product of the time. He's not meant to survive the end of the Clone Wars like Dooku. Dooku was aware of Sidious's identity and was betrayed at the last minute. Grievous is suppose to be the scapegoat of the war. Palpatine needs Grievous to be the "face of the Separatists" in order to keep the war going. He then leaks the info to the Jedi of Grievous's whereabouts when his plan is ready. He knows Obi-Wan will be able to destroy Grievous and is waiting for the Jedi to come and arrest him afterwards.


Basically Grievous is just a way for Palpatine to keep the war going on his terms.

 

Awesome! Thx!
