Anakin fell to the dark side way too quickly

I think Luke was so pissed at that point that they'd think he betrayed them that he didn't care.

right: a confirmed Anakin kill of a padawan. Not a youngling. Sorry, i thought maybe you had found something, i was searching the novelization and the movie for irrevocable proof that anakin killed a little kid. 🙁
Don't be glib, it doesn't suit you.

naw, i meant it. as i said to marvel, i was just running the thought of the Jedi lying to Padme over in my mind, and wondered how that idea struck anyone else? not a big deal.

That's fine. Totally uncharacteristic of Kenobi to do at such a time, but fine (I'd do it). But you know, the correlation between dead children being called Younglings and then referring to said dead children as having been killed by, a... lightsaber? Was it? Only... Vader was attacking Jedi with a lightsaber... not, clones?

Maybe I'm confused, but I'm pretty sure no clone was fighting with a lightsaber.

No, he said the younglings died, and then said the Padawan was killed with a lightsaber. Younglings =/= Padawans.

I'd like to know how Blank has the endurance to pump out so many words. When it comes to Fanfiction, I work at a crawl.

Palpatine nodded slightly, never taking his eyes from the man, "Lord Vader has told me that you are an exemplary medic."

"He is very kind, Excellency." Hallin said, at a loss for other words.

The Emperor smiled at that, "No, he is not. He is however, trustworthy." At this, Palpatine leaned forward just slightly, pressing his message home, "It is that which I value more than anything else."

^^^The lines are so masterfully crafted^^^

^ My favorite one from that scene is "Do so as if your life depended on it."

Aye that was great as well. NO question that palpatine's not exaggerating the situation at all.

I got the reaction from blank's Palpatine that George Lucas got from his own Palpatine. It's just funny and awesome to see someone that evil and miserable at work.

Still, the gauging of mr. luke's power and appreciation of learning to control it:

I mean, i understand that this isn't george lucas's work so is not applicable here, but why didn't sidious seek to control galen marek rather than have vader kill him, especially when marek was so powerful? It's almost the same thing.

Well, Palpatine did. Remember: the whole thing with Vader killing Marek was a ploy until Marek became a liability.

I had thought that vader was bsing about sidious needing him to gather the enemies of the empire... I only played the game once though.

Yeah I was pretty sure what went on was vader saved galen then told him to find the enemies then kidnapped them under the emperor's command so galen would get pissed and come back to destroy the emperor for vader...

No, it was pretty accurate. The whole thing was an elaborate setup until Marek continued to display rebellious sympathies. And even then, remember, Palpatine tried to convince Marek to kill Vader and join him.

Oh, i do remember that, it was just my impression that palpatine was covering his ass when he realized that vader had betrayed him.

But, of course, I pay about as much attention to that sort of game's storyline as I do to the storyline of "god of war"

"oop... there's a minotaur. bam it's dead, look at all the blood." I should read the comic. I have a long way to go before I am EU certifiable.

Yes you can. It's the consensus around here that it's the finest piece of SW literature on ze planet (with the possible exception of Publius's works).

Spoiler:
I found it and brought it to you all, like Prometheus! 😄

This is not true. You found Publius, whose work I found to be pretentious. Someone else found Blank101. I think it was something like EliteHunter or Elite[something]. He posted more back when Enyalus posted, then came back a couple of times. Haven't seen him lately, though.

Spoiler:
Wrong, I found Blank101 and told Elite Hunter (among others) about it. Don't be jealous that I'm better than you.

I am Zorro!

No, I am Zorro!

I. AM. ZORRO!

You were wrong.

You want great fanfiction? Read Publius's works or (possibly even better) those of Blank101.
EH
I never said they were the best though, like I posted sometime back "Yodakenobi" fan fiction in the "beyond the saga" forum is pretty good stuff. I've read his stuff a while back and I would agree. Is blank101 the guy you were speaking of that posted that OT AU from fanfiction.net?
Gideon
Yes sir, that would be him.
