Everyone seems to hate concil members in general. I suppose there are a few good reasons, like the fact that even upon hearing of the possible involvement of the Sith and the treachery of the Trade Federation, they did nothing but sit on their ****s. They sent the Jedi, who were originally assigned to a simple negotiation mission to go back to Naboo to get pasted. If Mace or Yoda had been sent back with the other two Jedi, Darth Maul probably wouldn't have made it out of that first doorway, but no! The council have more important things to do like pass around Yoda's cane and have a nibble on it's mind bending contents. That aside, I think the council will be top in the next films, just hope they all receive deaths worthy of the greatest Jedi. As for Q-tip head, he'll have to be a pretty damned good Force user if he doesn't want to be laughed off screen. The diminutive Yoda's bad enough, but Yarael Poof's just a balloon.
