... after smashing it up in RotS? Did he have to unilaterally declare the Senate out of session for several months so droids would have time to make repairs?
Palps: "Budget cuts forced repulsorlift failure. Yes please ignore my hideous disfigured, evil-looking face. Nothing to do with it." Senator Ballaba: "But, your yellow eyes?" Palps: "Ahh yes I *sneezes*, these blasted Coruscanti allergies."
Palpatine probably did what he does best. He uses the truth from a certain point of view. "Senators you see the destruction caused by one power hungry Jedi who attempted to over throw me though murderous means last night. Jedi Master Yoda attacked me late last night as I worked in my office. He coldly murdered two of my guards, two young men cut down in their prime who's only crime was defending the democratic ideals of the New Order. You see the destruction before you my friends, caused by one being, one traitor who is strong in the force. Imperial Intelligence this morning informed me that Master Yoda had escaped with the help of someone using a vehicle with senatorial tags. We will bring Yoda and his fellow traitor to justice. Its ironice that the Jedi were willing to destroy this symbol of democracy in order to kill me, and to impose a religious based religion on all. I am sure fellow senators that you see the need to protect ourselves. If one Jedi can cause this much damage, how much destruction can a group or army of Jedi create. We know that the Jedi are in league with members of the Senate, therefore I cannot safely say that the emergency sitution caused by the Clone Wars has abated and we must be even more vigilant and with the help of Imperial Intelligence, local law enforcement, the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army we shall return securty to the republic. The murder of the heroic Padme Amidala by a Jedi will be avenged by this august body The attach on Lord Darth Vader by Obi Wan Kenobi fugitive Jedi will be dealt wthand he will be bought to justic The actions of Master Yoda is an attack on you as much as it is on me.. . .
That's always been something I've wondered. Maybe a surplus of spare pods existed? With the technology, and how easy is was to make a thinking droid, creating another pod shouldn't take too long. Either he calls it off in the mantime, or a few senators won't get their say during those meetings.
