Queen Amidala of the Naboo

Yes, again, that would work, but it would be a very disappointing way for the Jedi to go, what with their future/danger sense and unlimited capacity for heroics.

Some sort of direct personal intervention by Palpatine, who they CANNOT sense because of the Dark Side problem, is more feasible. Quite how even he could knacker the Jedi at a stroke is unclear, though.

I don't know how feasible it would be to just take out all the jedi at the temple..I'm sure it wouldn't be that defenseless.

Exactly. The whole thing seems very difficult

Well they cant hunt all the jedi down one by one because think how long it would take, and it would make the film also very long.The only way i can think of is a mass killing of them in some sort of trap.

Well, we know that a lot are killed in the Clone Wars, but that eventually the Jedi win the war. They could win and only have few hundred Jedi remaining. Then with only a few hundred it becomes much easier than thousands and I'm sure destroying the Temple would take out a lot of them.

The (non-canonical) time-lines make out that the 'Jedi Purge' occurs after Episode III. If they keep to that than we can expect to see the Jedui fatally weakened by the end of III but not destroyed.

However, I still think it would have more resonance if Obi-Wan and Yoda escape the end of the Jedi, and this is all seen on screen. The trick, then, would be to take out the Jedi in a reasonable way.

It's possible that Imperial propaganda will have a lot to do with their downfall. Buy turning the population, who the Jedi were sworn to protect, aainst the order, Palpatine could really stir up some trouble. Quite how an angry mob would fight them though, I don't know. Just bouncing ideas off you all.

Well, it seems increasingly likely that Vader hunted them down individually... hard work

I think the propaganda thing could work. It doesn't matter how powerful the Jedi are, if the majority of the galaxy turns against them, for lack of a better word, their screwed.

I wonder if Vader was Vader before he got his armour. That would be interesting to see, Vader in a Maul-style suit. Can anyone see Vader taking on the Jedi in that cumbersome suit? He had a hard enough time with Luke.

Well its not really imaginable vadar in a maul suit because we are all so used to seeing that armour!!!well he must have been vadar before the suit he just got so badly injured he needs that suit to stay alive..

Funny you should mention Vader in a Maul style suit. For some reason, when you see the bit where the hangar door opens and Darth Maul's stood there in trailer A, I'd assumed it was a vision of Darth Vader. Don't ask me why. It would be cool to see a more energetic, yet still powerful Vader in traditional Sith gear.

I think it would look good but I don't think there will be enough time. Ep2 he is Anakin the jedi, Ep3 he could be Vader in a normal Sith Garb. At the end of Ep3 you could see and/or hear Vader in his "usual outfit". I don't know maybe Lucas could pull it off.

Isn't James Earl Jones supposed to be recording about 5 mins of patter for EP3? this could be for that ending where Vader is in suit.

I'd heard that about Jones..but nobody's confirmed it yet.

JEJ isn't getting any younger...
