Why didn't he just stop shooting lightning?
>>211382772 (OP)itโs like cooming, you canโt just shut it off. even if he could, his spaceballs would have exploded
somehow lightning returned
>>211382772 (OP)Why donโt he uhh obbbpbbblllpppp hahaha he shouting lighning popblllbllll hahahah waoooweee ppbllllpppp sith are shooting lightening. Biiiig stiffy!
>>211382808he had 30 year blue balls just waiting to use his lightning
>>211382772 (OP)I guess the same as when he zapped himself and Vader in ROTJ. Or when he zapped the shit out of himself in ROTS. Basically, he just sucks at controlling this power. He's owned himself at least twice before this and never learned.
>>211382772 (OP)It's not called limited power
>>211383678Give him a break, he's 200 years old and mostly sits on his chair.
>>211382772 (OP)He needed an excuse to reveal his monster face and this was the perfect opportunity. It feels like a light breeze to him.
after spending more hours than I'm willing to admit reading (((non-canon))) Star Wars books I finally understand the prequel politics, which all hinge on Palpatine and his motives.
Palpatine and his Master Darth Plagueis are attempting to dominate the galaxy by means of political manipulation. Plagueis is tied to the banks and uses his wealth to fund groups that will benefit him. As a political figure, and eventual Senator of Naboo, Palpatine focuses on manipulating the Trade Federation. On one side, he pressed Supreme Chancellor Valorum to impose taxes on the Trade Federation - this will strengthen the Republic by bringing in more credits. At the same time, this will offend the Trade Federation, who see this taxation as theft. During this time, Palpatine also secretly works with pirate factions (e.g. the Nebula Front) to have them attack the Trade Federation - forcing the Trade Federation to bolster their defenses, namely by getting a Droid Army. Palpatine, now as Darth Sidious, tells the Trade Federation to enact a blockade on Naboo, which eventually a) erodes confidence in Supreme Chancellor Valorum and subsequently gets Palaptine elected in his place and b) further creates schisms between the worlds of the Republic - who continue to see the Republic as a large, slow, bureaucratic mess. This eventually leads into Separatist movement which is explored in Episode II.
>>211382772 (OP)Server lag, by the time he realized what was happening he had spent all his lightning.
>>211383766>Lucas' mess works better when someone else comes in and fills in the holesGee if only they'd done that with the moviess
>>211382772 (OP)Think of it like a valve he could open but not close without mace windu allowing it, as long as mace keeps reflecting it back at him he's stuck.
Another problem is that the only thing keeping windu from kiling him is that he's deflecting lightning at back at him.
Your other option is that he's trying to look extra pathetic so that anakin will kill windu, or it just worked out that way.
>>211383856they're spectacle, not stories.
>>211383997Why can't they be both?
>it's stylistically designed to be that way and you can't undo that but you can diminish the effects of itEven the man himself admits he went too far with the spectacle
