My Episode III prophecy....

No, he doesn't know anything about swordfighting... that sword belongs to my family.

I didn;t at any point say I was the only one who did, Finti. But I haven't seen anyone comment on this lately with what appeared to be a practised eye. There were a couple of people who knew what they were talking about a year and a bit back, though.

*walks in....Walks out*

There are a few things I want to say here, and I'm sorry if I "stole" someone's idea, as this post is long as sh!t and I'm still reading it now!

🙂

Anyway, didn't you guys ever NOTICE THE RED GUARDS ????????

I mean I always thought, WTF, these guys must be badass--I mean the vibro-stick thing, I forgot actual name. And I read in the Visual Dictionary about how they're secretly trained or something like that, and ONLY PALPATINE knows about this (where they come from, etc.)

That's gotta turn some heads right there, and we've yet to see this vibro-axes (I think that's the name) in action.

Also, we probably will see Boba Fett kill some ppl, he is trained by his father, who was pretty bad@ss. And he might have different armor, maybe his fathers, or another Mandalorian armor suit. BTW, I think we might finally see the Mandalorian army.

P.S. This might not make sense to everyone, but the red guard COULD be sith, or dark Jedi or something like that.

And we might see what happened to the Lost Twenty (as in...Lucas probably held that part out to be explained better in the next film).

One more thing:

To some ppl this is open and shut, but Palpatine MIGHT be a clone of Sidious.

I know what you're thinking, that it's obvious that they're the "same" person, but some starwars.com message boards, and others have inclined me to think that there's more to Sidious than we realize--PLUS he's right in front of YODA--THE FREAKIN MASTER, it will be sad if that really is Palp and he doesn't sense the Dark Side in him.

a big hello there! good to see you posting

yes, I know about the red guards, they were already visible in the trailer. But the visual dictionary isn't canon, meaning it isn't "true"
The only thing for sure, is that they are guards, that's all...YET

And I'm sorry, George Lucas has already told that Boba WILL be in EPIII but with a small role and without killing since he's too young

and on the EpI DVD, you can watch TPM while GL and others give explanation about it all, there they openly said that Sidious and Palpatine were the same person...

again, nothing is certain, all can change

I still can't understand the thinking that says a person on the defensive is losing, but never mind.

In any case, though, there was most certainly no significant distinction between the two.

There is plenty of evidence that Yoda and Dooku were equals- they are DECLARED equals in the Force and Yoda didn't beat him now, did he? So the only default way to think is that they are equals. You have the OPINION that Yoda is superior- which you are entitled to- but what was silly was saying that that was the default way to think when it absolutely is not.

Did the force call you up and tell you this?

Well, it didn;t look like that way to me, but there you go.

Lauren, I used some common sense to tell me that. Again, you just trying to insult me gets you nothing.

Well you say that the VD isn't cannon (Visual Dictionary) and I can understand your thinking; but isn't it licensed, or something like that, to the publishers, and ILM and LucasFilm give them the info and photos/models to make photos off of.

ONE THING OFF TOPIC, slightly:

DID ANYONE NOTICE HOW MACE HOLDS HIS SABER, THAT'S COOL AS SH!T, HE HOLDS IT WITH ONE HAND AT THE TOP AND HIS OTHER HAND FISTED AROUND, just kinda cool IMO, definitely different from the baseball bat-like hold of the other Jedi's...NOT trying to make something out of nothing, just pointing out something I thought was cool. 😎

Anyway, I understand what you're saying, I just wanted to say the Jedi Order was/is screwed like a b!tch if even Master Yoda can't figure this out, OUCH! 😮

But I think Yoda is still beter than Dooku:
--Knows mad techniques, obviously
--Bad@ss in the Force, kinda the same
--Excellent saber techniques
--and he IS about 870 years old or so in Ep II

the last one is just to put it in perspective, although we have no idea how old his species can get.

They fought for like 3-5 minutes, I THINK (forgot), but their fight wasn't that long, Dooku only showed us lightning, not like that isn't strong Dark Side use (we think it's DS, the lightning), and he was on the defensive.

Yoda IMO wasn't trying to kill Dooku, because if they went Force vs. Force with Yoda being able to absorb, etc. it would have been pretty long, but Yoda would have won IMO.

Now you'll say, what about that fight, Yoda went all out, all he did was some sweet Force speed (a little I think) and some force assisted jumps, etc. trying to stop Dooku from leaving...sure he coulda cut off a limb or so (PLEASE FOLLOW ME) but that would have just disabled Dooku. Dooku WAS a student in the Order before.

And I'm still hoping the Red Guard are as bad as they look.

That seems a weird few. Yoda was there to stop Dooku by any means possible, which included killing him. Those blows he was striking were designed to kill.

And if I'm not mistaken, EU is licensed too, and EU is not canon

I have the official Star Wars Movie Storybook, publised by Lucas film, written exacty as per the storyline on screen, no more no less.

And when Yoda was fighting Dooku, it is written in the book that : " Dooku was no match for his old master " etc,etc

As far as I'm concerned, the intention was definitely to show Yoda as the most superior ( including Dooku )

"Did the Force call you up and tell you this" was clearly a mocking insult.

Well Ush you said she made a silly comment so I guess it is kind of a payback.
And KK2k1 I doubt we will ever see the red guards in action. Guess the are some sort of elite core among senate guards

actually became red with Palpatine as Supreme Chancellor and HIS guard became red, the other stayed blue

Yeah, Finti, but I backed it- it wasn't there just for its own sake.

And Harmax, that storybook is no more accurate than the Visual Dictionaries. That statement is clearly flawed anyway- even if you think Yoda DID have an edge, it was most DEFINITELY not a case of Dooku being no match; that is the most gross hyperbole.

Ush, we all know about the canon and non-canon rules, but if you look at all of the sources, the Visual Dictionary, the official site, they all agree that there Yoda had an edge and that's why he ran away. When there is that sort of total agreement, it's probably right. I know you hate to be wrong. But you are. Sorry.

example:

all the EU talk about yellow sabres, black sabres, white sabres etc.
Not only novels but the BTM CD too,
GL himself said that there are only 3 colors: green and blue for the jedi and red for the sith (purple wasn't 'invented' yet)
So, who do you believe?
