might have misinterpreted it.
"hate to tell 'ya this, but if the Sith history ain't in a movie, it didn't happen."
I guess no one goes to the bathroom in AGFFA as well? Was Padme's pregnancy also a "virgin birth", too? I don't remember them consumating their marriage.
Point being, don't confuse Lucas' tendency to rewrite backstories as proof that there are no backstories.
BTW, I'm listening to the film as I type, and Obi-wan says "Only a Sith believes in absolutes."
Isn't Obi-wan's own statement an absolute as well?
"second, im not sure on what you mean by the LOE explanation. However, why does Dooku have to be the one who discovered the Clone army (is this the LOE explanation, and did i miss this post?). Also, while it does make sense for Dooku to kill and impersonate Sifo. Doesnt it make more sense that Palpatine (as Sidious) manipulated Dooku, told him of the clone army, used him to further his plans."
Let me clarify. This is the LOE explanation, and I didn't mean to imply that Dooku did this on his own. He did so under Palp's orders. Now, I think we are on the same page.
"The whole father/son brother/sister thing as it stands in the OT can be considered somewhat shaky if you think about it."
Agreed.
