[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] "We know that Palpatine controls both sides of the galactic conflict, and the only point of the whole thing was to get the Republic to mobilize and allow him executive powers. That's it. As soon as he has leverage against the Jedi, it's in his interest to stop the war immediately. Which is why it's very strange to see him both help Anakin, Obi-Wan and Yoda with the Hutt-problem while at the same time instructing Count Dooku to keep the kidnap-victim at all costs in order to acquire the trade routes for the Separatists. It doesn't really make sense, and has nothing to do with the Sith plot line, so a bit weird." I have a feeling the Sith like to promote conflict for the sake of conflict. They want people fighting amongst themselves instead of uniting against their tyranny. It's always better for an Emperor (or 'Chancellor') to have a conflict going on that he can rally the people against rather than having them all getting along and peaceful. Fear is the tool he used to get into power, and I'd think he'd want to keep people afraid to cement his power. If he ends the war before really transforming the Republic into the full-fledged Empire, people would star talking about revoking his special wartime powers and going back to daily life. As long as there's a war going on, however, Palpatine can justify all kinds of actions in the name of the safety and sovereignty of the people and the Republic. [/QB][/QUOTE]
