[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Possibly he'd just set the plan in motion and was only checking on Anakin's progress every so often. A 6 monthly check to make sure that Anakin was getting emotional attachments and the like. Wasn't the whole point of the ending of The Phantom Menace that the "victory" wasn't actually the victory everyone thought it was? Palpatine had become supreme chancellor, weakened one of the major powers in the galaxy in The Trade Federation, and forced the Jedi to train a child that they wanted to be left alone (Palpatine's involvement with Anakin is up for much speculation, especially after that whole "he could force the midichlorines to create life" speech in Ep III, but that whole "we shall look upon your career with great interest" certainly strikes me as coming from a man who had plans). The fact that the celebration music was actually the Emperor's theme further enforces that. The Phantom Menace had been defeated, but the real one was much stronger. And I don't get how you can say the ending of episdoe II is "up" either. Palpatine has (essentaially) total control of the republic, and an enormous army of completely loyal troops to back it up. And at the same time, Anakin is doing something that can only lead to tradegy. Hardly "up". If anything, the only one of the three prequels that has an "up" ending is Revenge of the Sith, with it's hope for the future. [/QB][/QUOTE]
