He was played for a patsy. Which is why I have always maintained that if he'd gotten a third act, given the chance to realize what he'd done, and tried to make up for it, they might have been able to rehabilitate the character. Dying in the process might have helped, but even if it was as ineffectual as Neville Longbottom's attempt to stop his friends in the first Harry Potter book, it would have gone a way to turning him around. | |

| May 5, 2017 at 13:59 | comment | added | Bream Gaming and Trailers | i do like this and on some level i do agree, but on another i am thinking what if it is a test, to see if the jedi picked up anything,Also, Jar Jar might have only thought it because he was tricked into it. | |

| May 5, 2017 at 6:12 | comment | added | Valorum | @BreamGamingandTrailers - It's more that Palpatine wouldn't risk a mind-trick. Plus, he doesn't need to. Plain old reverse psychology works just fine. | |
| May 5, 2017 at 6:09 | comment | added | Bream Gaming and Trailers | i dont see this is proof, I guess your agument is that the jedi wouldnt notice a mind trick? I will upvote on the reason that this is a good detailed answer. | |
