Master Syphodious

Does it say anywhere that the Force extends life then?

Not that I know of. You COULD interpret some of Yoda's final words that way, but I do not think so.

Nah, I don't buy that either.

I don't think Finti was suggesting immortality, just that with the life a Jedi leads, a violent death is more likely.

This is exactly what I ment

the emperor extended his life using the force!

We don't know that. It's possible, of course.

Was anyone saying for certain he was killed?

Seems clear...

you spell it Master Sipho Dyas (trust me i looked it up). He must have died during a small battle within the ten year gap.

Wrong, I am afraid. The website clearly spells it Sifo-Dyas.

maybe the website you went to but the one i went to spelled it sipho dyas but oh well

The STAR WARS website. Pretty authoratitive.

indeed, and I guess the novel wouldnt be allowed to misspell it either

Sifo-Dyas it is. Indeed.

OB1 was under the impression that Sifo-Dyas died BEFORE the order for the Clone Army was placed...

No, clearly not Dooku. This one is a little bit of a mystery but it is possible that Sidious simply used the name of a recently dead Master to make his order. The name similarity is disturbing, though.

Could be more to it.

Darth Sidious is one crazy punk to take on the Jedi Council.
He probably is Sifo-Dyas.

He can;t actually BE Sifo-Dyas. The other Jedi knew who Sifo-Dyas was, and presumably he did not look like Palpatine.

To clear things up once and for all, I just finished watching the movie again and two things: He (SD) was on the jedi council , the kaminoan talking with OB1 says ,"isnt master SD still not a member of the jedi council?" and SD was "killed" , he did not just die! OB1 tells the kaminoan that Master SD was "killed about 10 years ago"

I still think we are in for a surprise when the truth about him comes out

Obi wan also question Yoda about SD being dead

Which is the clue of course. The Kaminoans clearly had no idea what was going on in the JC. Their validation of SD being a member of the JC could be based on a lie by Sidious of course. The fact that OB1 and Yoda seem to remember him, makes him a real person other than Sidious himself who is of course Palpy, known to all.

And the fact that SD was killed, doesn't mean he was in their perception murdered. He could have been killed in a speeder accident for all we know.
