It just seems odd, don't you think, that the Emperor was so quick to spot the exact location of Anakin on Mustafar, and even recognize his burned-up body for that matter... ("There he is! He's still alive."

Yeah yeah, I know many of you will say "he knew this through feeling a disturbance in the dark side of the force" etc etc but still, it just seemed too contrived that the Emperor found the exact spot where Vader lay and that he recognized right away it was Anakin laying there, without even knowing what had just transpired...

Sidious sensed him from Coruscant, what would keep him from sensing him a few feet away? Who else would it be that was burned to a crisp but still alive and radiating hatred?

Good job.

Would you rather have the movie spend twenty minutes following Palpatine around Mustafar looking for Anakin? It's a movie, not everything is meant to make exact sense.

Nor is it in real-time, anyway.

Besides, it does make perfect sense.

Jedi/Sith can feel other living things in the Force. Every living thing has a Force signature or aura. Every person's aura is unique to them. Palpatine would know instantly that it was Anakin.

translation: "yeah, i know you will give me the exact and correct answer, but thats not what i want to hear"

fine then. palps noticed the hickey on anakins neck that he gave him at the calamarian opera.

Hey guys. I know it's off topic, but is this "Supershadow" or is Grievous's last name really Shaakar (How do I ponounce Shaakar)

SS BS. Period.

BS?

SS is a lying sack of crap, nothing he says is true in any way.

he remembered what roasted Jedi bacon smelled like...he was at Qui-Gon's funeral as i recall

No, he couldn't. You know why? Because ANIKAN doesn't exist. It's

ANAKIN!

theres a constant conection between the two so theres nothing to know.
he would have just felt him being cut and told the piolet to floor it.

Sidious sensed Anakin getting beat when he was on Coruscant, after he dueled with Yoda he said that Lord Vadar is in trouble or along those lines, I think he looked/sensed into the future to see that he was going to get beat by Obi.

Can we just leave it as its necessary for the movie please?

People need to theorise about every little detail from a fictional world.
It's fullfilling apperantly.

Yeah..were all so deep

How'd he do it?

MAGIC

Oh come ON, couldnt YOU recognize that was Anakin? You act like he was burned to an unrecognizable cinderblock for heavens sake.

*clears throat*

Anakin roasting...on an open fire...
Darth Maul tearing off your nose...

"Suicide carols being sung by a gungan
and folks dressed up like Emo's"

Everybody knows...a Sith Lord...and some mistletoe...
Helps to make extremely cheesey lines...

The Emperor could sense Vader because if he could sense him all the way on Courcsant than he should be able to sense him on Mustafar

Who else would be laying next to the lava after Sidious sensed Vader was in danger?

Exactamundo.

And also, Jedi seem to be able to see on their ships scanners where their pals are on different worlds, as examplified by Obi-wan checking on Anakins whereabouts on the ships scanner in AOTC...
Would the Sith not also have this technology too...? If they do then there couldn't have been too many humans running around on Mustafar and Palps is pretty sharp... It wouldn't take a genius to suss who was who there....

Put that together with the force sensing, and it becomes less of a question of "How did Palps know it was Anakin" and more of a
"How dumb would he have been NOT to know it was Anakin" IMHO.

I think Palps should have used the Dark side to find captain Kirk and have Vader beamed on up.

I think we should make a thread here about how SuperMan could turn back time just by flying around the world. Probably more productive than this thread!

why?

It always bothered me that he didn't turn it back moreso in order to stop both the nukes from destroying anything.

But no.

He just wanted to save Lois.

Yeah, I guess..

Oops, I highjacked the thread again!

he used the force.

and do you think that on mustafar you would find some burned up dude laying on the ground any day?
to me that is such a dumb question.

agreed

its called precognition my friend. learn to live with it.

jesus people what is up with the old thread bumpage? Are you all that hard up?

on a volcanic planet with lava spewing everywhere, and people outside working among it constantly, would i expect to see an occasional burnt up body? is that what you're asking?

Well this thread is not THAT old....

how did the emperor recognize the burned Anakin...Mmm I think with his eyes

Can you really put it past Palpatine to NOT know how to find Vader?

Two words

FORCE SIGNATURE

Good job.
