There was no regime in ROTS times. And who should have started a civil war ? And why ? [/B][/QUOTE]
I'l do this more in the morning but Mas Amedda for one, as well as planetary governers (Onderon for one).
2) The "rebellion" as we know it started with the Ghorman Massacre, which convinced Mon Montha & co of the eeeevilness of the Empire.

I told you once and I will tell you again: There is no way to aim on a weapon with lightning. Get it. He was aiming at Yoda and Yoda dropped (!) the lightsaber to deflect the lightning so Sidious was L U C K Y !

No. The lightning blast damaged the lightsaber. There were blue sparks all around it. I'm telling you, the blast knocked it from his hand. Can you provide me with a screenshot that says otherwise? Concrete proof would be beneficial. Forgive me if I don't take your word on it, Nai. You also said Yoda was attempting to protect his eyes from Sidious's Force lightning - which really didn't make any sense at all - so...um...if you do provide a screenie, I'll consent. But not one moment until then.
Janus watch the fight again. Sidious FLed the LS away, Darth Somebody is right, it blew right out of his hand. Also, Yoda got propelled downward, whereas it looks like Sidious got thrown, though not nearly with the same amount of power. Even if Yoda managed to get up, he couldn't have won.

Well, Yoda by no means dropped the weapon. It was blasted out of his hand. And I'm inclined to go with DS and Jabar here on the fact that Sidious knocked away Yoda's saber. If you watch closely, as soon as Yoda lands, saber in the right hand, Sidious left hand shoots the bolt of lighting that decides the duel. The blast hits Yoda's saber, knocking it away, and also throwing Yoda off balance. He begins blocking it the moment it touches him, but it shakes his hold nonetheless. A second later, Sidious shoots a bolt out of his right hand; Yoda blocks with his left. This is where the little engagement of power begins, but that's going too far.

Ha! Yoda DID drop the weapon. I've watched it yet again! He drops it to block the wave of Sith lightning, which requires both of his hands. And as if that wasn't enough for the prowess of Yoda, he completely reverses the wave of lightning backwards at Sidious, creating a shockwave that sent both sprawling. The difference being that Sidious was able to grab a rail while Yoda had no such thing on his side.
I did watch closely, my friend. And Yoda clearly dropped it so he could block the lightning. I think what's really unique is that no one mentions HOW Sidious got the high ground. Or even HOW he lost his lightsaber, since neither were shown. We go from one scene where they are duking it out to Yoda dropping down to a lower pod and Sidious, saberless for the rest of the fight, throwing pods at him.
Then don't, and don't waste bandwith by saying so.
Janus: Sorry mate, but that's not what happened. Turn to 2:53:36.18 if you have the movie DLed. He raised it to strike, then Sidious blew it away. THEN Yoda made the shockwave.
