1) Every so often, I think of the scene in ROTS just after Anakin turns to the darkside. When Anakin professes his loyalty to Palpatine, he replies, "Goooooooood!" - this performance is laughably bad. It reminds me of the sounds a ghost might make on Scooby-Doo: "Goooood! Gooooooood!"

2) I found this old thread recently: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/So-Who-Killed-Palpatine-Anyway/topic/6233/

- and I think the question bears repeating. In fact, Gaffer Tape, if you (or anyone else, for that matter) would care to explore the question in a YouTube segment, I would appreciate it. Maybe a broader audience might give me an answer I could live with.
