No I didnt read Labyrinth hence, my asking.

So, Sifo-Diyas did authorize the army? why?  

[Durza the Shade]

Oh, I could have sworn you said you had. But you've been asking all these questions, so . . . my bad.

Sifo-Dyas and Dooku were worried about the rising dark side - it was "on the ascendant" as they say in the book. Sifo-Dyas thought the Republic would need an army, so he commissioned the Kaminoans. It's easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission, so he did it without the authority of the Council, but was planning to tell them later. Sidious didn't want them to know about it, so he had Dooku kill Sifo-Dyas as his final test before he became a Sith.  

[FrozenPhoenix32]

Just checked wookiepedia.

Says that Sifo had foresight and saw the devastation to come? Is that some dumnbass assuming and posting it as fact or was he realy a seer?  

[Durza the Shade]

I don't think he actually had a vision of the Clone Wars, but a lot of Jedi were aware that dark times were coming. Yoda, Dooku, and Sifo-Dyas were chief among those. Sifo-Dyas decided to do something about it.

idea Here's a mystery that could probably be debated forever:
If the Emperor has all these cool cloning tanks, why not clone Vader?

And then transfer his spirit over, like he did to Bevel Lemelisk. Good question. I don't think that one's ever going to be solved. Perhaps the Emperor feared a fully human Vader for some reason? He did say Vader would end up more powerful than either him or Yoda.

Out of universe, of course, Darth Vader's armor came into being when the Clone Wars were nothing more than two words.

Because, apparently, Vader's Force abilities dropped after his injury, making him apparently(but obviously not) not dangerous to the Emperor. Remember, Sith slaughter their Masters to become the master, and Vader would have done it immediately should he have been human.

Question: Do we ever find out who the hell Sifo-Diyas was?

Even after losing Padme, I don't think Vader would have killed Sidious right away.. He'd want to learn all those cool dark side powers first. But even if he had, Sidious had his clone supply in Byss in case something happened.  

[Nelowulf]

here's a good reason why possibly on why not to clone vader:

He turned good.

Why clone a potential enemy again? even with brainwashing techniques, it was proven anakin still had good in him.  

[Durza the Shade]

Yes, that was the Falcon, and Jar Jar does in fact speak ( xp ): RotS Easter Eggs  

[Nospai Deathous]

I don't see how that could be the Falcon

1. the guns, if there are any, are in the wrong places
2. there's an illegal sensor array on the left prong, as with the more recent Falcon. however, that wasn't put on till Solo had it added himself. remember, tho, Solo was like 11 at this time. =/  

[Sol Walker]

Lando had the quads mounted on the top and port sides when he had it. and besides, whose to say that another owner didn't have a similar dish then scrapped it sometime. the Falcon's an old ship, and has probably been collateral in a card game on more than one occasion.  

[Nospai Deathous]

i can understand the guns, but... the dish is a high-class sensor emplacement. you'll notice normal comm arrays, like those on snubfighters, are much smaller, but the Falcon's dish is like that of a capital ship. that it would have a similar looking sensor array, /at this time/, seems highly, highly unlikely.  

[Sol Walker]

they probably kept it on because the rectenna dish is a Millenium Falcon trademark. it's hard imagining the Falcon without it and thus makes it more reconizable to fans.  

[Nospai Deathous]

do you really think they won't recognize it without the dish?

they'll be like "Where's the sensor dish?"

and GL can be like, "Well, we're maintaining continuity. The flacon didn't have the dish until Han put it on, and that didn't happen till after he won it from Lando. Han was obviously too young to have won the ship in episode II, so we had it without the guns or the dish, both of which were added later."

and fans could be like, "oh, master Lucas! you are truly wise and wonderful!!"  

[Sol Walker]

Im not so sure about that. sweatdrop  

[Nospai Deathous]

ok, maybe that's not what would occur exactly, but still... the continuity is more important, right?  

[NickCpointless]

the falcon has probally been so modified at times that bits and pices have been installed and removed.
