No, only if you dismiss perfectly feasible explanations. There are plenty of flaws in these films, but this just isnt one of them. Again, you havnt explained exactly what would make you happy with this.
If you think the reasons given are perfectly feasible, then there's nothing I can say.
QUOTE
but how is that explanation any less 'convienient' then the Force being "an energy source that binds the galaxy together"? what I dont understand is how can you accept one half of the invented mythology coin and not the other. There is no more explanation about the Jedi being unable to detect Palpatine because no more is necessary. Why do we need anything else? The Jedi can use the force to move things because thats how the force works. the sith can use the darkside to cloud the jedis vision because thats how the force works. if you cant accept the second thing, how can you accept the first? how can you accept anything the jedi do?
If the dark side can cloud the force so the Jedi can't sense anything and Palpatine is really that powerul, then why not just assasinate all the Jedi in their sleep? Considering how easily he had them all fooled, why didn't he move faster to take over? And even though GL would have us believe that the dark side was clouding the Jedi's vision in AotC, it apparently faded a bit in ep3 as Mace was able to sense an entire plot to destroy the Jedi! He didn't sense evil around, he sense the whole plot and scheme to take out the Jedi Knights! Oh please! Either they can sense it or not, but it was all too convenient, but if you choose to accept it blindly, that's fine.

No, but its not necessary to know that in order to understand whats happening at the end of RotS!! we hear he voice in AotC, so hes obviously still around somehow, then we find out why in ep3. and I still dont understand why this would be confusing for an audience. Come on, let me in on the secret.
I can't. You've accepted all of GL's nonsense wholeheartedly. No matter how logically I can explain anything, you've chosen to not see it otherwise.

It was good to see him in the film, it was a nice link back to TPM, and provided some closure for his character. My Nass comment wasnt meant to be taken this seriously you know...
I'm of the opinion that none of your comments are to be taken seriously.

and I thought it was perfectly obvious that Dooku ordered the clone army. I dont want to get too sidetracked, but I wasnt aware there was any confusion there.
It would be nice if GL had explained that to the audience. Most of us see the PT's knowing some behind the scenes stuff, but the casual filmgoer does not.
