Re: Assasinations
Did anyone else read the little piece about the Gran Senator of the Official Site?..It says something about a plan to kill off several jedi at some kind of coference on Malastore. Do you think this may be the opening sequence of Ep2?

Re: Assasinations
I haven't read that, but my suspicions of Malastare being one of the new planets in Episode 2 are rising high.

Re: Assasinations
I've missed than Dim, I'll have to check it out. That would give us planet number 4 though.

Well, I don't know if she is 100% evil yet or not, because EU doesn't give a suprising background to GL's performance. Anywhooo, I bet it would be Bail Organa if she was hired by Sidious/Palpatine.

While royalty is always a target for assassination, I think Palpatine would definitely be a target as he is gathering more and more power and moving himself toward the point where he will declare himself emporer. Amidala has no malevolent political ambitions, so there would less reason to take her out. I'm sure there's a lot of representatives in the senate who aren't necessarily happy with Palpatine being chosen supreme chancellor and would like to see him have an "accident". But with his evil force skills, you can bet he'd see them coming and turn the tables on them.

Good point, Gundark. But then again it seems like a good possibility that Palpatine will be the one asking the Bounty Hunters to commit the assassination to someone else so that he can rise even further. Perhaps Amidala IS the problem, for him at least. He was using her in TPM for his rise and now he is finished with her and needs to kill her for his rise to continue.

I think Palpatine would only order Amidala killed if she actually gets in his way, or challenges him on a senate issue or something like that. I still think Amidala's death will be a self-sacrifice. Your point is good, thats just my opinion.

Well just remember how evil Palpatine is. It would be a good way for Lucas to show us how mean he is by forming an assassination of the Queen when she isn't even causing any harm. It would show how merciless the man is.

Well, after thinking about it, I guess if you're gonna be the emporer, the true embodiment of evil, theres just no holds barred. He would probably take candy from a baby.

Those tusken raiders appear to be great shots from what we saw in the TPM Podrace scene. This is just a possibility, not something that I'm expecting to happen, but it may be possible that if the assasination takes place on Tatooine, Palpatine may hire or pay a Tusken Raider to kill his enemy. I know it's unlikely, but still its possible...

I know, I was trying to stress the point that I didn't really expect to happen, coz I knew people would disagree. Nevertheless, it's still possible and we will be seeing Tusken Raiders judging by what we've seen in spy pics.

Yeah I heard that rumour too. Well lets think. An assassination is only likely to happen to a royal or high-ranking person. So we have Queen Amidala, Chancellor Palpatine, possibly Mas Ammeda and even the global leader that Anthony Phelan is playing.
Who would you most likely like to assasinate? I guess it depends on how much Phelan's planet gets involved in the Clone Wars or whatever situation is going on during Episode 2. If he is the leader of a planet opposing another planet (Mandalore maybe?) then the leader of the other planet would obviously want him dead.
The same goes for Amidala if Naboo becomes rather important.
Mas Ammeda is the most unlikely, as he is only a minor character in Episode 1, although its possible that he is an "emerging" character. Besides, the assassination doesn't have to happen to a MAIN character. It could be someone who's hardly in the film at all, its just that the main heroes are involved in the commotion and have to do something about it.
As for Palpatine, many suspect he is the one ordering the assassination, although others believe that as he is a large political figure, others would certainly want him dead.
I'm not sure on this one. There are so many possibilities and all the characters could have their own reasons for why someone would want to assassinate them.

Well, I tend to go with the theory that they try to kill off Padme...the rumors point more to that than to anything else. When you consider the new rumor and the rumor about Anakin being Padme's bodyguard while she's on the run...that sounds like it would be a major plot line..

Good point. I agree she that is the most likely. But why would someone want to kill her? If it was Palpatine then, like Gundark said, it could be because she gets in his way of his plans or something like that. Perhaps she has a job of preventing clones from being produced and she starts to make a good job of it, so Palpatine decides that it's time for bye-bye. But obviously Anakin would save her with his Jedi skills.
