I'm glad we are seeing more of her 😉
Also, I will go out on a limb and say that the reason why Palpatine looks so wasted in ROTJ is because of the dark side. Sith kinda rot when they are in the full-on sick dark side for so long. I think the cane and everything comes from the dark side's affinity for destroying life.
I hope Palpatine gives Yoda a good kicking - he must do if Yoda is so extremely protective of Luke in the OT when he talks about him.
Pablo also said that we will see one character fight with a lightsaber who we havent seen do so before.
we saw all of the jedi from ep1 use lightsabers in ep2, so it makes sense that it would be palp.
also, yoda and dooku dont fight each other, but have there own fights-again from pablo (not "action sequences",like dueling against clones, although that is sure to happen too.)
Besides, how could palps destroy all of the jedi,and take over the universe without fighting yoda?
He wouldnt just sit around and watch that crap happen.
They are the two masters of good and of evil.
For good to be replaced by evil(which will happen),
then the evil master will have to replace the good master.(which will also,unfourtunately,happen)
red, the reason palpy looks wasted is cause of something that happens in episode 3, rick mccallum has said as much. the most popular rumor is that vader is responsible (force tantrum). back on topic, sidious' saber skills should rival that of Grievous in the clone wars cartoon for me to be satisfied.

They will probably use a double and digitaly attach Ian MacDiarmid's head, like they did with Christopher Lee in AOTC.
Where was this stated that CL's head was attached to Count Dooku's head when he fought? Anyways, someone back further said they thought Palp/Sidious would fight with force lightning. Well come on people think about it, look at what Yoda did to Dooku's Lightning. Jedi's could either use their lightsabers or as in Yoda's case he can deflect it with his hands. So this must hopefully mean Sidious and Yoda would fight, i hope they do. I think that Sidious would be a Old Style Swordsman like Dooku but hopefully a bit faster due to the Kyber Cystal

The Kyber Crystal is news to me.........
Anyhoo, I do sure hope Palpatine takes on his opponents with Force only. I don't want him to wield a lightsaber. That's just my opinion.
It'd be kinda wierd to see Vader wear the trousers in that relationship. I can't see him hurt Palpatine, even by accident, because despite everything, Vader looks upon Palpatine as the father he never had.
I hope if anybody does indeed hurt him, it's Yoda.
I was wonderring if both Yoda and Palpatine waste EACH OTHER. They physically age tremendously because of the amount of force they use, and that's why they end up being like they are in the OT. I think Palpatine will win, because even though Yoda would hurt him up pretty nasty, Palpatine would waste Yoda even more.
I was just thinking when does Palpatine have a chance to practice his skills that make him so powerfull. He's always in some meeting dicussing politics. Is he just so Hatefull and that is what makes him powerfull. Does anyone think there is a reason why Palpy hates the Jedi so much? Or is he just a power hungry mad man?
I would like to know his twisted back story one day. It probably wont be told in Episode III , But might make some good EU reading.

Anyways, i liked that idea of a mutual bashing really, i like the idea of Yoda at least putting up a good fight. Just wondering tho, even tho i might be venturing back into OT this relates to it. Yoda seemed to have alot of faith in Luke and expected him to take out Sidious and Vader at the same time when we all know that Yoda was the more powerful one. Was it because Yoda was so old or that he was guilty because of letting the Galaxy down for not seeing Palpy for who he was.
