palpatine is an idiot in the PT. in episode 3 when yoda pushed him back in the chair and he set their with his legs in the air I almost felt like getting up and walking out. then when anakin first turns and palpatine says GOOOOOOOOOOD! I felt sick it sounded so stupid. Some of this stuff is so bad I honestly think lucas did it on purpose to either piss the fans off or because he deep down doesnt care if these films are good or not cause there is no way he could have watched some of those scenes and think they were good. it is impossible. the palpatine in episode 6 was evil. no cackling no retarded movments Just what I thought at the time was an evil old wizard.

Didnt george ever ask himself why palpatine kept shooting lighting at mace windu while it was byrning his face up? why not just stop shoting it. it sure didnt fry luke. it is impossible for these questions t not pop in lucas mind or the producers or the editors. How could this stuff not have been brought up during production.

there are many theroies as to why but If I had to bet on one my only personal opinion is Lucas hates star wars deep down. blaming it for the lose of his wife and for the lose of his so called career s it boxed him into a corner or so he thought. In his interviews NOT one person ask lucas any tough questions about his motives. everyone ask the same crap over and over and over. I would give a yrs worth of pay for a ten minute sit down with lucas. The last indy film tells me he has lost his mind. Tales of the golden monkey was better than the crysal skulls

I agree on how stupid it looked when Palps was force pushed over his desk and did that weird "No" and "Good". In a way it reminded me of Smeagol from Lord of the Rings.

The reason he was letting it fry his face up was so he could influence Anakin. By showing how scarred up he was, it only influenced Anakin more to want to save him.

I'd argue the last point, but it would just drag on and on. So, yeah...
