No one could possibly consciously be this stupid.How did the few thousand nerds who know the difference get that much money?
I don't believe Palpatine was in the game for galactic preservation. He wanted power. Keeping lots of people safe doesn't quite fit his M.O., even if he's one of them.what do you think of this?
I thought along these lines a while after I posted. Hell, didn't Palpatine have like umpteen clones of himself in the E.U.? Not much of a stretch at all given that context.well... correct... but, what's he going to rule over if all the people under him die? so yes, he was in it for power, but power that he clearly wanted to preserve. obviously we know that when lucas created palpatine, the yuuzhon vong didn't exist and wouldn't exist for a few decades. lucas' motivation for palpatine was just, "he's a bad guy" but in the context of the EU it's not a huge stretch to buy into that theory.
Exactly. The E.U. is the juvenile, Twilight faggotry of the Star Wars universe.Nerds. They were weapons of terror meant to keep order after he dissolved the Senate. It's actually spelled out quite clearly in the first 45 minutes of the film.
I just know that people are waiting to pay billions (if not trillions) of dollars to see a few words changed on the opening text crawlWatched the beginning of episode 4, color me impressed. It looks great, and they even went so far as to use the ORIGINAL text crawl which did not say Episode IV A New Hope at all.
The E.U. novel "Outbound Flight" confirms that Palpatine knew about the Yuuzhan Vong, and was making preparations for it.what do you think of this?
