I think Palpatine will control both sides of the Clone Wars. He will create the Mandalore Clones and start invading planets. To combat this, Palpatine as Chancellor will put forward the idea of a Clone Imperial Army to fight them. He will control both sides. Obi-Wan and the other Jedi of course will be on the Empires side, until they find out what is happening. Amidala will be in charge of the Imperial Army. In the script for TPM or the book there was a passage where Anakin told her that he had a dream where he saw her "leading a treacherous army into battle". Palpatine will start a galactic war where he controls both sides.

I think the Malordories and the Stormtroopers will fight the Jedi and othersPalpatine will control them both but with different idenitys

I don't understand why they wouldn't make an army from trained citizens on Coruscant, Corellia, and the other Republic planets. Hell even with clones, the populations of the core worlds have to exceed 50 billion or so.

They're stuck in their old ways...the institution is TOO big...

What Institution? Who's stuck in their old ways?

The Jedi, the Senate...most of the known galaxy....lots of red tape and decorum...Palpatine is into to geurilla tactics so he's going to be running circles around them.

I have a feeling we'll see the mandalore vs. Jedi battle on Alderaan, why else would Bail fight, He's the Alderaan viceroy.

But can you imagine the Jedi fighting alongside the Stormtroopers? And what's going to happen when they find out?

One of the things i liked about TPM was Palpatine playing both sides, so I could see him doing it again in Episode II.
TMP was basicly Palpatine playing a very large chess game.

Amidala knew about Palpatine/DS all along

I don't think so. Maybe she had suspicions but not enough to do anything. I think she is as much in the dark as the rest of them.

I have to agree with King Jedi...I don't think she has a clue...I think she just doesn't like Palpatine.

Hmmm, King Jedi's statement sounded very much like a backwords version of the whole Mandalor/Clone wars thing I introduced a month ago. Check the pre-schoolers are the clones site for my endless descriptions, It centerd around Palpatine pitting the Jedi against the clones who were being made in factories on Mandalore. Sideous set up a Sith and Mandalorians had an alliance and were primed to strick the Jedi. A climatic battle featured clones, Mandalorians and DarkJedi/Sith vs. Loads of republic aliens and Jedi. The battle featured:
1) Anakins Turn
2) Mandalorian/Clone elimination
3) Baba Feyy decking himself in Mandalorian garb
4) New Sith/Sing's death
5) Mace and/or Ki-Adi's death
6) The beginnings of Star destroyers and TIE's
7) Tarken or Thrawn leading a space battle against Dodanna and Rikaan
Joruus C'Baoth goes crazy!!!
9) Palpatine's 2-sided evil magic(he wins both ways)
10) Chris Lee being blames for the clones fall and being cut down bt force lightning

Whoa, I did go off again How's it lookin?

Good. No Comment.

Xizor that's not what I mean at all. I'm talking about Palpatine controling both sides of the Clone Wars so he can devastate the Galaxy and wipe out the Jedi. On one side:
1: The Jedi
2: The Empire
3: Millions of aliens and species from around the galaxy.

And on the other side:

1: The Sith
2: Mandalore Clones
3: Dark Jedi
4: Bountyhunters, criminals and the Hutts.

The good side being controlled by Chancelor Palpatine and the Dark side by Darth Sidious.Who are of course the same man.

Yeah well it's kinda the same. I'm sorry for all my spelling errors. I thought the Empire kind of grew out of the way Palpatine handles the Clone Wars and how he clamps down on the Senate. At the start of Ep2 it's not the Empire but still the REpublic. UBH, why no comment, not like my idears?

But it would be better if Palpatine had two armies. Then he couldn't be defeated. The Empire and the Clones.

Aren't they considered same side?

That's what I thought, it was the growing power of those who controlled the clones who eventually became the Empire.
The Rebublic army was less advanced and pulled out a victory due to larger numbers and the Jedi's help. I felt it would be cool if Palpatine blamed the Senate for the war, and then merged the two forces behind the public's back. At this point the armies would be confused and both groups loyal to Palpatine. He would then set himself up as Emperor and make the rules that established the Empire.

I was tired so I couldn't continue with my comment, BUT Xizor pretty much summet it up.

Well, it seems that every recent comment has to do with something not Star Wars!!

No I disagree with Xizor. I always thought that the Clone Wars happened the way I said earlier. Palpatine has to get the Senate to back his plan for the Empire, and a cloned Impirial army. The best way to do that would be to pose a threat to the Republic ie Mandlore Clones. Palpatine wouldn't take the risk of creating his Imperial army only to have it defeated by the Republic. So he has to control everything. Doing it the way I said would be perfect for him. He would be slowly destroying the Republic and the Jedi and taking control of everything while they would have no idea because they are too busy fighting the Mandalore Clones. He creates havoc in the Republic and all the time his new Empire is waiting to take over.

I've now changed my mind. Palpatine doesn't need to have two clone armies as he already controls both sides. If he is in control of the Mandalore and he is also in control of 10,000 Jedi then he could easily set the Jedi up to be killed.
