The POWER of the Dark Side

what is all this about Anakn pointing a saber at Palps? he's in the room when Mace and them come in! I saw it in the finished shots thread, the camera is at about where the window is, Palps is in his chair, looking out the window, Anakin is standing next to him, also looking out the window. Mace, Kit, Saesee, and Agen are all coming down the hall behind them. Doesn't Anakin already know about Palps in this scene? especially since Palps is still "young" looking when he tells Anakin of the Dark Side in the trailer? and After the Mace fight he looks "old" so how could he tell Anakin about the dark side AFTERWORDs?

that shot was taken before the scene was rewritten... Anakin doesn't enter till later

oooooookay. damn editing! makes me all confused! 😆

If you need to see the pic we're discussing then go to my previous thread named "Possible duel-Anie vs palp", i apologize for the Yoda quote, it is "leads to suffering"( its from " The Phantom Menace" during Anakins test). There is a spoiler in witch it is said that when Anie learns of Palpatines secret, he goes to tell Mace. When Palpatine is saying the quotes from the trailer, i think he somehow shows Anakin the power of the Dark Side. But Anakin still wants to stay on the light side so he tells Mace about Sidious. When he enters in the middle of the fight between Mace & Sidious, i think he loses hope of helping the Jedi if he and Padme were to survive. He was AFRAID of Sidious, but sure, he wanted to have a Star Destroyer. Palpatine isn't old, he is severly injured during his fight with Mace( correct me if I'm wrong). Though D0do kinda proves this idea wrong...

"If you can't beat them, join them!"

Mace owns Palps in this match read the official script

Ok, you're wrong ...

😎 Anakin goes to Mace because he still can't believe that Palpatine is EVIL ... light/dark, it's just where the meat is on the bird. He expects Mace to go talk to Palpatine, perhaps even arrest him ... but Mace is going headhunting with no discussion or warning and somehow Anakin can't keep believing the Light is better when they use the same methods ... one of the final straws being burnt inside him. That Lord Darth Sidious is also the only possible source of the way to keep Padme alive (which defines GOOD for Anakin as nothing else can), the next conclusion is that it is evil to kill him ... and all of a sudden the Jedi aren't on the side of the angels anymore.

😈 As for the Emperor's skin condition, you just can't play with force lightning after a facelift ... things just melt and run all over ... but that happened while he was trying to squish that little green freak ... I mean, Master Yoda. 💃

*SPOILER* *SPOILER*

The Jedi were illustrated to Anakin as traitors. And he wants to save a special life at all costs. He actually thinks the Jedi are in some way the "bad" guys. It´s too complex to pack it in a couple of lines...
And the thing with Palpatine´s face happens/starts while fighting with Mace. He gets "sucked out" by the dark side while he attacks with some rage! 👆

Cool! Dissention!

Not just as traitors, but unreasoning zealots who were in opposition over, um, religious differences. He has no idea how much Padme has become the fulcrum of his perceptions ... but he has Palpatine's promise of the knowledge to save her, and the Jedi's barring him from the archives. The Jedi don't flip over to being seen as evil by Anakin until they threaten that promise ... after all, can't get the information from Palpatine's severed head (or can you? .... hmmm) ... they leave him in turmoil, he contrasts they way the two sides interact with him, he runs out of options for what he needs to live ... and Palpatine's message comes, telling him that there is no more time for thought, that he will be destroyed <yeah, right> ...

It's like flipping a switch ... mildly off topic, it does follow a line of thought which has just been popularized in a book by Malcolm Gladwell, called "The Tipping Point" ... how forces and tendencies can accumulate to a point where an abrupt reversal occurs.

Palpatine calls the dark side in and around him during the fight with Mace ... but, I concede, the damage did start then ... the fight with Yoda just finished the Chancellor's destruction and the creation of the Emperor.

Back on topic:

Is DS's dark side power increased with the death of each Jedi? Like a force sucking vamp?

no! 😠

I see we´re on the same line!
😄
Palpatine illustrates the Jedi as power-hungry and selfish. That they will overtake the senate and destroy anybody who gets in their way to power. In fact that´s what they do but for other reasons. They want to destroy the Sith Lord and replace anybody who is under his influence to fix the lack of humanity and justice in the from inside fouling Republic.
In these times the Dark Side is generally stronger. It´s the Revenge Of The Sith! 🤘
