Sheev was from Naboo. He was their senator prior to Jar-Jar Binks and Padme. Naboo is super important guys, despite having no exports or military power.

It leads the galaxy in exports of Sith Lords and comedy sidekicks.

If I was born and lived on Naboo I too would end up hating all aliens and wanting to wipe everyone out in the galaxy.
I would gladly be a cackling old fart with no friends if it meant not hearing another loving Gungan or first world problems from the super elite.

And its no wonder all the girls were lining up to take bombs in the face for other people.

at least the second death star makes sense, you wouldn't have just one death star when you could build 10 and scare everyone in the galaxy into submission

george lucas was still lazy though and just wanted to recapture a new hope

Someone, I think it was Lucas, said that they only blew up the Death Star because they didn't think they would actually get any more movies and if they had to do it over again it would have been saved for Return of the Jedi.

Also, while reading this thread I was struck by how stupid it is that they call them the "Clone" wars. Winners usually name wars after the defeated party, not the victors.

Probably one of the goofiest things from the prequels is the scene where Padme complains about democracy ending. Except the democracy they had sucked. Like, it was shown to be pretty much completely useless until Sheev took over.

Well the whole thing was kinda that the Republic had no army, only local forces like that of the Trade Federation, and if they started trouble on their own there was very little they could do.

Maybe they did have an army and everyone was all upset that the jedi spent a shitload of republic money to get an army nobody wanted or needed but the space military industrial complex wanted them. Also when they went rogue and murdered a lot of people/jedi nobody was surprised because the cloners were the star wars version of Lockheed martin and everyone realized they were actually a groverarmy.

If you guys haven't read that Marcia Lucas story someone linked earlier, you really need to go back and find that poo poo

Lucas basically sold out what little creative soul he had to make the Star Wars franchise a money machine so he could make independent movies with his buddies Coppola and Spielberg. Along the way, he alienates everyone around him, his wife leaves him, and he becomes so involved in the management of Skywalker Ranch that he never directed another non-Star Wars film, with the exception of Red Tails (lol)

Then again this is the universe where one or two people decimate entire armies with loving randomness.
A retarded rabbit foils robot soldiers by tripping about.
A kid blows up a space station by pressing random buttons.
A farmer blows up an even bigger space station filled with fuckton armies worth of guys by closing his eyes and wishing it.

Armies are really disposable there.

Nah Kit Fisto is lazy as gently caress design.



Now that was original design.

Kit Fisto is Lucas seeing a man with dreads or thinking of a squid and turned that a loving alien.

Edit: Or seeing Dargo from Farscape.

I always assumed that putting together a droid in SW was like putting together a PC tower these days. You can buy something standard off the shelf, you can get some guy to build an overclocked beast for you (R2D2) or you can buy a bunch of poo poo at a swap meet and shove it into an old case you found in a skip (C3P0).

It may be lazy design, but at least it wasn't what George Lucas actually designed when he saw a squid: a human with an actual squid instead of a head. At least Kit Fisto wasn't an actual earth animal turned bipedal.

It's been the only major galactic power for a long time. There's nobody to fight and the various local militaries that later made up the separatists worked just fine for keeping the order. It would have kept working fine if it weren't for ol' Sheev and his conspiracy.

The Separatists used droids not conscripts. They'd have an army.
