good, smiling bastard. You know his smile really did kill the drama of the Geonosis arena battle. That was supposed to be this huge devastating event to the Jedi, more of their own killed at one time than anytime anyone can remember, and he's smiling and the droids are crackin' jokes (funny jokes,but that's my point) all of that should have been more sad and dark. Like when the Rebellion gets smacked on Hoth, the scene where they start retreating was pretty dark. Lucas, no more edge or sense of pacing!
Anyway, enough ranting. We see Plo Koon die? Drat. I figured we would. The comics have given me a soft spot for the little wierdo. Darth Jello--That list, it's the ones who go to a certain politician's office to "rescue" as certain jedi hero?
yeah, "the slapstick years"....in ep IV and V the humour was all character based, mainly bickering....by rotj we had chewie doing the tarzan yell and the galaxy has never been the same for me since....they broke the third wall, or however you put it....
i await jello's answer to this question....and still confused about the depa billaba stuff....i suspect eu....must also admit not being quite sure who depa billaba is....i think it's the duck faced jedi?.....
She's the lady with very East Indian influences, human. She's clear in TPM. It is EU, but its from prequel novels that sort of just "explain" where people went, and authors elaborate on Lucas' ideas of what causes certain things. Like in November, a book comes out expaining how Ani gets to Knighthood. Now again, its EU, but the prequel novels and comics I'd have to put in a big gray area of canon. Officially it isn't, but a lot of it comes from Lucas's notes and ideas so some of it is and some of it isn't and its too hard to sift through it all so we just say it isn't to make it clear. But in the Clone Wars novel about Mace Windu, they explain what happens to Depa, whether it was Lucas' idea or not I do not know. It was good though, the author said he wanted to do Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" as a Star Wars novel. I liked it. But again, canon or not: probably not. But see, then there will be a book next year, like the Alan Dean Foster book before AOTC, that leads directly into ROTS. So much of that may very well be canon, but its in a book so its still EU which makes it not canon officially. Its all very personal in my book. But I wouldn't use any of it here, that's for damn sure.
Even though anakin is on the council, I just can't believe it you know what I'm saying. How and why are the so stupid and blind not to see that, even if the senator had his hand in it. Besides that, why did they even consider him over anyone else but obiwan, its not like ani is smart or anything or brilliant or wise like obi-wan.
Originally posted by Mace SkywalkerHow about this? Palpatine helps Anakin secure a seat on the council so that he (Anakin) can make his own decisions about when and where he is assigned. Thus insuring him the freedom to be Palps body guard.

do we even know if he's approved to be on the council? I haven't exactly seen him in a chair on council. I read the heritage card or which ever card that was with the info, but it did say Palpatine TRIES (tries, not suceeds necessarily) to get Anakin a spot on the council. Perhaps this is after the opening scenes and Palpatine recommends that since it is Anakin who kills Dooku, and Anakin who pilots the doomed droid control ship, that he should be on, same as Obi-wan. The council probably puts Obi-wan on at that point but says no to Anakin for his age or something. Then that would further the rift between Ani and Obi, and the rift between Ani and the Jedi as a whole, and tighten the bond between Ani and Palpitine. that would make more sense in the context of the story and give him better reason to turn to the Dark Side.
I personally think Obi-Wan is on the Council right now in the story, cause I've seen a picture where he's sitting in a chair next to the hologram Ki-Adi...as for Anakin, I doubt he's on it, but he might be in the process of consideration, which I think makes more sense, and like stated before, the fact that Kenobi is on the Council and not Anakin could help support Anakin's mood later in the story, by thinking he was looked over once again.
