Star Wars Edit

Star Wars Edit.

Dooku is set up as a patsy by Palpatine, but he isn't strictly a  villain. He sets up the clone army in secret after being persuaded by Palpatine to leave the Jedi and take up his position of Count.

When the army's existence is exposed the various conglomerates with their own private droid armies get together to support an insurrection. Dooku is arrested and charged with treason by the Jedi. He is murdered by Anakin before he can face trial, with the blame going to the mysterious Sith lord. 

Maul manages to survive Naboo and rises to the leader of the insurrection only to be betrayed by Palpatine during his own kidnap by Grievous: he throws Kenobi's lightsaber at Maul while still in manacles through an obvious use of the Force. Kenobi does not witness this because he is unconscious but Palpatine's identity as Sidious has been revealed to Anakin.

Westeros 2

One thing which bothers me about ASOIAF/GOT  is the height of the Wall and the fact that people have been able to cross over it. Not just stone-age Wildlings but that the (supposedly under-manned and under-funded) Night’s Watch were not only able to get to the top of the Wall but actually place defences on the top!  The Wall is actually so high that people would get blown off by the wind on a regular basis! It is established in the books that the Wall (which is 700 feet high and 300 miles long) protects itself, so perhaps this is more of a plot hole. OK, so let's imagine that the Wall is, actually (more like) 300 feet high and 150 miles long, while some parts of it have fallen down. At these parts the Night's Watch have their fortifications. Specifically Castle Black, Mole's Fort which basically contains a trebuchet and Eastwatch, where the Wall is a consistent 200 feet high and extends 60 feet into the Narrow Sea  There are a number of abandoned castles on the W...

Fan theories 2

Just as Childhood's End (first theory) could be viewed as a prelude or explanation of many SF fictional universes (the "Overmind" is the Force in Star Wars, among others) the film AI could be a seen as a mythological version of the founding of The Culture -in particular the "panhumans" described as being abundant in the (well "our") galaxy and beyond.  At the film's epilogue, all the humans had been killed as a result of a new Ice Age but the descendants (so to speak) of the film's "mechas" (intelligent androids) remain. It could be conceivable that a similar event actually happened in Earth's distant past. A race of hominids, perhaps unknown in the fossil record, invented and heavily utilised, artificial intelligence just before their civilisation was destroyed in an ice age. Of course, a few survivors could have left Earth in spaceships before this happened, but the main point is that the AIs which survived were able to crea...

Manifesto Two

Maybe this election result will be good thing: Brexit will be over and done with soon enough, they'll be a voluntary purge of Blairite scum from labour,  Brexit failures will be blamed entirely on the Tories.  They'll be unelectable for a generation.  By that time the people who tended to be male, uneducated and older will have died off and the young people today can take over and do something about the climate.  I seriously think things could have gone really wrong, as in violence in the streets and a military coup wrong. If there was a hung parliament we'd never hear the end of parliamentary obstructionism and conspiracy theories from Farage and Johnson.  C orbyn should have offered everyone a job or an equivalent wage if they can't work.  The papers would have called him a communist regardless of how radical or not the Labour manifesto was, I hate to say this, but he should be like Tom Zarek and been totally ruthless. This is the only way to ...
