Re: Smelling Imperial scum


I think so. There must be some kind of solution to this, which may tie in with the fact that the Jedi never knew about the return of the Sith in the first place. But honestly, I don't know. So far it's just strange but it may be the cause of the Jedi purge eventually.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


You're ideas could be right. Perhaps the Jedi have become so relaxed and used to life that they don't sense anything on the Dark Side. Yoda said the Dark Side is hard to see, so perhaps a Jedi needs to be a actually looking for something if they are to find it. In other words, since the Sith were wiped out so long ago, the Jedi may never use caution and try to focus their minds to sense anything relating to the Sith, so even when a Sith is nearby they can't sense him/her unless they really try to.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


Lack of vigilance, eh? Maybe. It would make sense, considering the little bit we know now. Who knows what the Great Flanelled One has in store for us. But I do hope he shows us why the Sith could emerge so easily.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


Do we have any knowledge of who Darth Sidious' master was? How did he start the Sith again? Was he once a normal Jedi Knight or had he been brought up as a Dark Side member all his life?
Have any of these been answered yet?

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


No, not as far as we know. Personally, I hope GL does not go into that in the movies. That kind of explaining how everything works is very boring and will affect the movie in a bad way. IMHO OC.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


I agree. But still, I wonder if the Sith have just been hiding all that time before TPM or if Sidious just revives the religon without a master of his own or a master before that and so on.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


I think the Master/Apprentice thing has been ongoing since it was invoked. The Sith were biding their time, awaiting the right time to make their move.#

Palpatine just happened to be the man to do the job.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


I don't know. I kinda like Daft's point of view. Who knows? Maybe Palpy found the Sith Temple or some Sith holy books and applied the knowledge he found thus reviving the ancient cult. Maybe he is a rejected Jedi. Lots of possibilities I think.

But on the Official Site they said that the Sith had been active, but "underground" for a millenia.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


Really? Hmmmm, well it would tie in with Maul's statement: "At least we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi, at last we'll have revenge." Either he is very imparient or the Sith have been working towards this moment for a long time.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


Perhaps this will show Palpatine's weakness in comparison to other Sith. Throughout all those years the master Sith above him were prepared to raise more apprentices and let newer generations take over the Galaxy after they had died. But as soon as Palpy/Sidous becomes the master Sith he is more impatient and just decides to attempt to take over the Galaxy. Just like Luke said, his over-confidence may be his weakness.

The Sith were never destroyed, they just went into hiding.

After bitter infighting amongst the Sith they basically wiped most of there number about 1000 years before TPM. However Darth Bane then invoked the Master/Apprentice rule and then order went into hiding to plan their eventual revenge on the Jedi.

The Jedi considered the Sith extinct for a millenia, until the revelation of Darth Maul and the realsiation that the Sith had returned.

Re: Smelling Imperial scum


The order? We are talking about one Sith or two at most. Quite easy to go into hiding, I'd say. The Sith are no longer what they once were. But obviously they did not lose their power. It just took some time to find an appropriate time. Now that the Republic is crumbling and maybe even the Jedi Council with it, it seems like a good time. If taking over the universe was not the Sith plan, what was? Just sit in the dark and be evil?
