Sorry, but the Jedi must be really weak if they got put down by a few Clones. I don't read the books or anything, but I would imagine that the Jedi population would be huge at its galactic hub; perhaps hundreds. Granted, no Masters were probably present, but still...unless they all had their backs turned when they were shot at, they should have smoked the clones. BTW--I didn't see enough clones on the floor either. No outer defenses at the fort, hmmm. Having said that, it wouldn't have been a problem for the remaining Jedi to take down Anakin. I won't even talk about the Palpatine arrest Parrying, Laser Deflection, that's Saber 101, right? Perhaps, if they had made the prequels about Anakin becoming Vader sooner, and showed more of his personal "hunting" down of the Jedi, that would have been more interesting...oh well  -Ian _______________ Member #7625 | Since 7.6.04 The Archives |

Six to one? By this point in the war, after so many Jedi dying on Geonosis, there would have been several thousand clones to each Jedi. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

The books are inaccurate, because they are written from the author's point of view, not an omniscient one. In the ROTS novelization, the author changes much of the scenes in the movie to suit his plot, such as Yoda being shot down to the ground by Palpatine's lightning, when in fact, it was the explosion of force powers. As well, he altered the Dooku and Obi v Anakin duel as well. IMO, Yoda was more powerful than Palpatine, Anakin should've been stronger than Obi, but Obi was smarter. And the clones outnumbered the Jedi six to one... barring perhaps the most powerful Sith and Jedi, no man or woman can beat those odds. _______________ "To become a greater man, you must be a lesser one first." |

The Jedi Knights were scattered across the galaxy fighting the Droid Armies. The Temple is/was nearly deserted with the exception of Padawan, Younglings and Staff. Have you ever been to the Pentagon, Pre-9/11 anyways, no Tanks no Turrets no sandbags, the only fortifications were a cyclone fence and a few armed guards. Democracy breeds a sense of security that is false, see 9/11 for proof of that. Last I'd say there is a gap in the that story you see in the movie, try the book it details the situation at hand alot better. George Lucas always says "Only the movies represent my true vision of Star Wars." That being so his vision is constricted to 2.5 hrs cuz that the longest running time he would make it, since at that length it will run more times per day per theater and run up his check book. The movies are about money baby, the books carry a much better story. George Lucas does a dis-service to every fan by cutting scene after scene so that he can line his pockets. I am surprised he didn't make every 'saber in the movie green. Greedy Green, the color of cash. _______________ “Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.

IAN MCDIARMID Well, kill everyone, not just-- HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN (leaving) On my way to kill all of the children now! Whee! He DOES.

Also, there were very few full Jedi left at the temple. Shaak Ti I think was the only notable one. The others were all spread out across the galaxy fighting the Separatists, leading clone battalions. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

If you find a Jedi who can block 6 clones shooting rapid fire bolts at him simultaneously, tell Darth Vader that he definetely is not the chosen one. It's a lot harder than it looks. I was actually surprised that it took that MANY clones to kill all the Jedi. The scene where they kill Ki-Adi-Mundi and Aayla show that at least 5 clones were shooting on them at once. _______________ "To become a greater man, you must be a lesser one first." |

not only that, the troopers were specially trained for taking down Jedi. Anakin being a jedi shocked all the jedi who saw him turn. plus the attack was a total blind side from the Emporer. _______________ The Force is my ally, and a powerful ally it is. Padawan Brother to Darth Sirius |

Well thats why Obi-Wan and Yoda went back tot he temple after the attack. To shut down the signal calling them back to the trap. Its known that Jedi survive past Episode III. But its also known that Vader hunts them down. I'm sure there were several Kinghts in the temple, maybe dozens. But when you put that up against Anakin along with many thousands of troopers.

So I guess, my real question is what was the numerical strength of the Jedi ranks. It seemed like only the Masters (from the council) and their Padawans fought in the Clone Wars...so the rest must have been on routine missions. But if they were, then their deaths are implied...otherwise they would be at the Jedi temple too... _______________ Member #7625 | Since 7.6.04 The Archives |

What you fail to understand though is that it wasn't supposed to be much of a fight. The Emperor set all that in motion when setting the Jedi up. He knew the war would have them spread thin, that the temple wouldn't be well gaurded. They wouldn't expect an attack on the capitol again let alone the Jedi Temple. If theres one thing above all else Sidious is a Master of, its Stradegy. _______________ Brother to: Tamal, Kavar, J.D.,Jermia, Devlin, Ulic, Xiabara, Seij,Tarron Mib,>>>ROCK ON .My Spacescapes art page.My Everything Else art page.

Not really thinking in gaming terms at all...but if any of these were Clone War veterans...than laser dodging would be their specialty, right? Ok, well I didn't have the impression it was thousands...but I can obviously agree with that. What I was saying was that if the Jedi routed the clones...then Anakin would not have been a match for tons of Jedi at once. My point is that the whole fall of the Jedi wasn't depicted as much of a fight...which I suppose is Lucas point...which became real obvious when the "Masters" rolled over for Palpatine. -Ian _______________ Member #7625 | Since 7.6.04 The Archives |

anikan was the chosen one, so he could basically pwn anyone there. Plus there were tons of clones and most of the guys at the temple were just kids or teens. _______________ "You can't get Windows on a Mac because the drivers are not compatible." --- Some dude from the Geek Squad "So if you have quad-core, you have four times the RAM, right?" --- Some guy at Best Buy |

1st off, there weren't just a few clones. They had a Dark Jedi and there were thousands of troops storming the temple. Well, the Jedi did things wrong yes. Givin their suspition of a plot to overthrow the Jedi, they should have had more defenses at the temple. But they didn't. Most of the able jedi were out fighting. I'm sure they didn't expect to be betrayed by the Republic they were fighting to save. _______________ Brother to: Tamal, Kavar, J.D.,Jermia, Devlin, Ulic, Xiabara, Seij,Tarron Mib,>>>ROCK ON .My Spacescapes art page.My Everything Else art page.
