Predictions: No spoilers

Coyote · Jedi Knight Joined: Aug 15, 2004 Posts: 416

Ok these are some predictions I have for might happen in EP3, they are my thoughts, no spoilers are involved.
However if you are paraniod, read no further.

1.)Opening scene: I think GL (George Lucas) will open the movie with a bang. Major space battle to kick things off. Where: either Kashyyyk or Coruscant.

2.) Anakin will get his revenge vs Count Dooku.

3.) Either Palpatine or Qui-Gon is Anakins father. GL likes to keep it in the family.

4.)Darth Sidious is an insane clone of Palpy, at first I thought they were the same person, but I changed my mind, GL likes to throw an occasional curveball.

5.) Padme will be killed.

6.) Anakin will be responsible for her death. I think he will accidently injure her as she intervenes in a confrontation between Anakin and Ben. Anakin will blame Ben for her being injured and the Duel is on.

7.)Luke and Liea will have an older sibling that will somehow be killed.

8.) Jar Jar will be killed in a way that we will not see him die, but we will be certain he is dead, maybe a spacecraft explosion.

9.) Ending scene: Vader and the Emperor are standing on the bridge of the SSD Executor overlooking the just started Death Star.

There you have it, my predictions. Again they are just that, predictions. If I get 3-4 right I'll be doing good. Pick them apart, post your own. Lets see who is has the most correct predictions.

#7 is the only one I haven't heard before, and that's quite a unique idea. When you say older sibling, do you mean a child that came a significant amount of time before the twins, or are you talking triplets? And if it's the first scenario, do you mean that Anakin and Padme had a kid before the twins or that one of the two fathered/mothered a different child without the other (i.e., half sibling to Luke and Leia)?

I am thinking they have a child thats about a year older than the twins. Full blood sibling, not half.

9.) Ending scene: Vader and the Emperor are standing on the bridge of the SSD Executor overlooking the just started Death Star.
While a great visual idea, I think it's too early for them t ohave the political/economic means in place to build the thing, Palpatien has to overthrow his own government and declair himself Emperor. Besides, in ANH everyone was acting like the DS was brand new, I can't imagine it taking 20 some years to complete.

4.)Darth Sidious is an insane clone of Palpy
I know everyone is expecting the Palpatine-ish manipulation of the fans' "knowing" that Palpatine = Sidious...but I think this one will hold true. That chackle we hear (including Zod...but not see... at ESC Wink

) in the ROTS trailer I think is just "happy, happy, joy, joy" over being finally able to exact revenge for generations of Sith.

I don't think there'll be a revelation of Anakin's father in ROTS. The only one who could verify that would be Shmi, and she's already dead. I mean, someone could claim to be his father, but it would need to be validated, and I don't see how. Because, Vader said he was Luke's father, but the audience didn't know that it was the truth until Obi-Wan could verify. If Palpatine or Dooku claimed to be Anakin's father, I don't know who else could verify it other than Shmi.

I don't really think this will hold true. Main reason, is at the end of AOTC, what does Sidious call Dooku? Darth Tyrannus (a name that floated around as a spoiler before the movie) No one else refers to him as Darth Tyrannus. Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anikan all call him Dooku. Why does he have his seperate, "Sith Lord" name? It's a way of hiding who he is should word get out of a Darth Tyrannus doing something bad. That's how I see Sidious. It's just an Alias, and I honestly doubt anyone besides his most trusted advisors (AKA, Anikan) will ever know his true identity. I see the reference to Vader as "Darth" as a follow-up to Anikan's supposed death. I see Palpatine announcing all the Jedi as dead but he has the only Sith anyone knows about on his side in Darth Vader. Just a prediction though, and I'm probably wrong. Hell, the way Lucas is writing the Prequels, it'll turn out that Sidious is really Jar Jar in disquise or something dumb like that.

NOOOO!

However, that would explain why Anakin gets so angry with Obi-Wan. I just don't want to see Padme die. But didn't Leia vaguely remember her mother???? If her mother was already dead, who was she remembering?
I don't think the Emperor is a clone. Shocked

Palpatine already has all of these emergency powers granted to him during the Clone Wars and he's not going to give them up! Maybe, he'll say there's a continuing threat from the Separatists or from the Jedi! I think he'll just assume more and more power. Once he has Vader, he will be invincible and no one is going to challenge his authority--until the Rebel Alliance!
If Qui-Gon is Anakin's father, he could speak to one of the other Jedi or even Anakin from the great Jedi heaven or wherever it is that dead Jedi go. Wink

He would be able to verify that he is Anakin's father. But somehow I don't think Qui-Gon would have a son that turned to the dark side.

What would be the purpose plot-wise of this other sibling and his death? Also, there's only supposed to be three years between AOTC and ROTC and Anakin's been away a lot fighting the Clone Wars so he and Padme didn't have a lot of opportunity to be romantic

Slaps self on side of head.
I knew I'd forget something. Another argument for Palpatine being the Emperor is how much the character seemed to age between TPM and AOTC--as if the Dark Side were taking him over! Twisted Evil

I read this... and I gotta say something...

Palpy being Anakin's daddy... I can kinda see that... matter of fact, I remember posting a little scenerio about the little twerp being Palpy & Shmi's love child on a previous thread Razz

Qui-Gon being Anakin's daddy... uh uh... there would have had to been some spark of familiarity when he encountered Shmi on Tatooine in Ep1... I don't care how drunk you get, or what you smoked, something like that you would surely remember (and decorum prevents me from point-blank describing what I mean, but anyone here can figure it out... well, maybe not ALL of you Laughing

)

As for Jar Jar Binks demize... oh... the images that brings to mind... maybe he'll be struck by dozens of darts...yeah...that's it... then slowly fileted with dull rusty butter knives... and his innards sucked out slowly through an incision in his abdomen...oh yesssss... Twisted Evil

Ever wonder why Qui-Gon is not amongst Ben Yoda and Anakin at the end of ROTJ?
Well if he had a relationship with Shmi that he wasn't supposed to have and then did a little memory wipe on her that would kinda explain it. And as far as Qui-Gon not having a son turning to the dark side? Are you kidding? If any Jedi, Qui-Gon WOULD have a son turn to that darlk side. Qui-Gon is on the border of being a rogue jedi, he likes to manipulate the Council and Obi-won, heck he manipulated Ben into teaching Anakin. A promise made to a dying father figure is a hard one to break.

The purpose would be another reason for Anakin to turn to the dark side. Say the council makes a decision that puts that childs life in danger, Anakin is not able to save the child, thus Anakin has yet another reason to feel betrayed by the council. And as far as Padme and Anakin not having much time together to be romantic.........well it only takes a couple minutes.......

I wouldn't call what Qui-Gon did "manipulative." Sure, he used the Force to fix the roll of the chance cubes with Watto, but I doubt he would ever resort to something that questionable unless it was for good reason (cheating a cheater...sure, why not). If you recall, Qui-Gon made his case to the council that Anakin should be trained and they turned his request down. Since they did not accept him in for training, that meant Qui-Gon would still be Anakin's caretaker...so the kid had to go to Naboo with him.

All that aside, I think GL will leave the question of "who's your daddy" unanswered.

Unfortunately, you are probably correct, Krash. I just refuse to buy Shmi's explanation. I never did think of the memory wipe theory. That's a good theory. Cool

Of course, if Palpatine was Anakin's father, he would have had to orchestrate a lot of coincidences: like Padme's cruiser just happening to land on Tattoine and Qui-Gon just happening to discover Anakin there so he could be brought back to Coruscant. And Qui-Gon insisting that Anakin be trained. Could Palpatine have manipulated all of that? Question

Or was it just the will of the Force?
Now if Qui-Gon were Anakin's father, these might not be coincidences!
I'm playing devil's advocate here because I really believe that either Anakin's father will not be revealed or it will be Palpatine. Of course, there's always Dooku or Obi-Wan! Razz

Hey everybody im new here, but after reading several posts and ideas i however do feel that GL is going to leave the knowledge of who anakins father is a secret although i have a feeling that if it were to be released that Palpatine would be anakins father, it would make sense their close relation.

Well...I do have the answer to that question, but can't post it due to this being the prediction thread.
