The Star Wars Guru is HERE!!!
In honor of the upcoming release of the last movie of the greatest sci-fi movie series ever, I have decided to put my infinte knowledge of the Star Wars Universe to good use. Got a question? I will answer it. No question is to big or to small. Wanna know what the stripes on Han Solos pants are? ask. Want to know Yoda's Species history? Ask. Want to know why (in your wrong opinion) that Star Wars sucked? I won't answer that. Thats an opinion question. I deal completely with Star Wars Trivia. Bring the questions!

Very good question! Alot of time passed between I and II because after all, who wants to watch Anakin grow up? The general public just wants to know the general details and watch lightsaber battles (which will rock in Episode III). However there are books that can be read, in the form of comics and paper/hardback books. I personally didnt get involved in the comics until after Episode 2 so I don't have any. I have however one book called "The Rogue Planet." Written by Greg Bear. It is a story that takes place not long after Episode I. I would place it in the vicinity of 3-4 years. It has one of Anakins first experiences with the dark side. Also, there is supposedly a book where Anakin takes on the spirit of Darth Maul and gets a lightsaber built by the dark side in the proccess. I reccomend going to Amazon and http://www.milehighcomics.com and searching for anything containing the word Star Wars. You can get the name of many books to check out of your local library, and comics to buy or look for.[/url]

Ok, I don't understand warriors question so I will move on to Deka's
The greatest villian in Star Wars? That is all open to your definition of greatest. I will list the villians of the Star Wars movies and what I believe they were greatest at, But no one can be called greatest.
Greatest of Evil Plans
Darth Sidious( aka: Emporer Palpatine)-- Palpatine was the master of the sith for who knows how long in and before the movie. In episode III he revealed that he could sustain life using the midi-Chlorans, so if you just watch the movies, he could have been alive for hundreds of years already. During the years he was alive, he trained 3 Sith that we know of. Darth Maul, Darth Tyrannus, and Darth Vader. During those years he turned the republic into an empire, one that would support him blindly no matter what, including the declaration that all jedi were to be killed.
Greatest Dueler
Darth Tyrannus-- Count Dooku was raised by the jedi, was a jedi, then was lured to the Dark Side by Lord Sidious. His lightsaber form was that of our modern day fencers. While the rest of the jedi prefered styles that made use of wide arcs and swings to deflect blaster bolts, He alone stuck with the style that would allow him to duel if need be.
Greatest of Power
Darth Vader-- Yes the prophecy came true. Darth Vader was the chosen one, even if it did take him almost 30 years to do it. Darth Vader, while an arrogant young boy, thought he could take his master and got his leg and one good arm cut off. Afterwards, he became the Emporers "grand inquisitor" as it were, to root out the rebellion, and destroy it. Also, unbeknownst to those of you who only see the movies, he was an executioner, any child that had the ability to grow up and become a jedi, light or dark, was killed by his hand. His ability to use the force was limited only by his brief bouts of occasional, pure happiness, in which time his ability to use the dark side diminished.
Greatest Bad-Ass
Darth Maul-- Only one line in the entire series. "At last we will reveal ourselves to the jedi. At last we will have revenge." That line was enough. That line showed you the deepest darkest parts of Maul's soul. His entire life was centered around destroying the Jedi. He killed numerous Jedi and normal beings all alike. with a quick swipe of his lightsaber. He never really spoke, except when commanded to by his master. He didn't need to, anyone who would go up against Darth Maul died, and he and everyone he met knew it.
Greatest Dissapointment
General Grievous-- By God, I didn't think it was possible for me to hate a character more than Jar-Jar. But GL did it again. He made a character that not only was a wimp, but didnt last for more than 2 seconds against kenobi. After all the hype, the showing of him on Clone Wars, the toys, the stories, It turns out to be nothing more than a clone in a mean costume. I think everyone who has seen Episode III will agree. Grievous deserved to die earlier.
I will not include Jango or Boba, or even Jabba in this list, I personally do not classify them as villians. Boba and Jango did what they were paid to do. Jabba was a crime lord, and not really worthy to die at the hands of Slave- I mean- Princess Leia. So there you go.

I have two questions, The first one refers to Episode II.
1st - When Obi-Wan flew to Kamino, Tongwi (I think I spelt the name wrong) spoke of a, "Master Jedi Sipher Diaz". Is this the Emporer or someone else?
2nd - This Question has to do with Episode III. When Mace Windu arrested Palpatine, Palpatine was laying on the ledge of the window and when he tried to shock Mace, Mace defelcted it back. Why did Palpatine's face start getting all old looking? I didn't think it was becuase of the shock becuase in Episode VI, Luke is Shocked by the Sith and he doesn't have anything happen to face or change his apperence.

1st- Taun-Wi on the planet kamino did speak of a Jedi Master Sifo Dias, and yes he was a real master. After all, he was killed 10 years before the events of Ep II. It is commonly believed that he was either forced to place the order for the clones, or was under the **** of the dark side when placing the order. In the Trade Paperback from Dark Horse Comics entitled "Star Wars: Visionaries" Sifo Dias was preserved in stasis and his blood was infused into what was left of General Grievous.
2cnd- this was not just any energy Palpatine was projecting, it was dark energy. But as you noticed before nothing happened to Luke. As I stated earlier, we have no real guess as to how old palpatine is. One of two things is the answer to this question. 1) Palpatine was using all the energy that he had been using to keep himself looking young to attempt to kill Mace, or 2) he had been using his power to keep the effects of the dark side on his body hidden. Either way, It was a result of energy he had been using for one purpose, rapidly being disposed of and used for another, deforming him as you saw.
