correct guiro. i read that the reflected force lightning 'unmasked' sidious. either way, nothing implies that mace causes palps' disfigurment.
btw, too many people here are misquoting on this forum. interpritations of some quotes will vary, thats a given. but that is not the case here.
pablo said that palps is not as old as the republic. that doesnt discount the
theory that he is old as dirt. so please people, dont misquote the source or you create misinformation and do a disservice to us all.
i dont recall actually making that bet...ok fine then double or nothing it is.
i'm telling you jp, you need to get one of those blackjack tattoo's that say 'born to lose', because you are quite the reckless gambler 😛
but we have to be clear on this--i realise palps is not as old as the republic, but my bet rests on the idea that he is far older than any human can age naturally. (to say the least).
no number. i made my bet. you cant take it or leave it at that 😛
i think when i win these bets im going to be just like eric cartman. ill have it all broken into singles and shower myself with your money, and post pictures 😂
"YEEEEEEEESSSS!!!! *throws money up in the air* JP'S MONEY *rolls around in money* YAY!!!!!!!!!"
😛
ok, ill simplify the terms. i believe it will be revealed that palpatine uses the power of the darkside to keep himself alive. it will be clear that he should be dead from old age or whatever, and that he is able to preserve his own life. same goes for mech vader. vader's life will be sustained as well, not wholly because of the iron lung, but especially because of his use of the dark side.
if i'm wrong in that entire statement you win your $$$ back. if not...i have to go buy a kiddie pool, and change those bills into quarters... so that i may swim in your money 😂 😛
what do you say?
Yeah, I feel that Palpatine has been using the dark side to disguise himself, the fight with Mace weakens him enough for him to have to drop his "veil' of Palpatine. I also agree with the theory that Palpatine is very old(100+) but how old is the question/ My question is why did he wait so long to start taking over? Waiting for the chosen one to be revealed maybe?
WHOA WHOA WHOA JP......im not in on this bet but if theres no explanation, then theres nothing to prove either of you right or wrong.....but youre trying... 😛 i got your back PVS 😎 . Nah im kidding....but PVS im surprised that you didnt say anything about the fact that his FIRST post was also his first thread....i feel a great disturbance in the force.....😛
