valin-krai Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 While initially I wasn't calling it a game changer, it definitely changed how I watched The Phantom Menace, almost every plot hole was explained and (Major spoilers) The fact that neither Plagueis or Palpatine caused Anakin to be concieved by the Force and it was the Force seeking to balence itself and that Palptine is still Plagueis' apprentice well into the movie. That does change how I look at it. I HIGHLY recommend reading the novel before you see Phantom Menace again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQordisz Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I think till after the movie, certainly not into the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller-VIII Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've yet to pick up the book but are you saying that... ...Plagueis was not responsible in any way for Anakin's conception? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQordisz Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 He was but indirectly. It was the Force's response to whatever they had done at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller-VIII Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 In other words the sith failed with their experiment and the midi-chlorians rebelled, creating Anakin as a means to counteract them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valin-krai Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 It is stated that Plagueis caused a shift in the Force, the same one Yoda mentions to be clouding the Jedi's ability to use the Force, and in response to the growing darkness, the Force sought to re-balance itself.

Tyinthalin Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (I haven't read all of it yet, on Part 1, chapter 5 or something so I didn't read all your spoilers.) I think part of releasing the novel was to explain midi-chlorians and how you can't transfer them to other people. I think they were also trying to make the force less scientific by saying that though they are in cells, they are more of a mystical aura that surrounds a being.

Keihryon Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 See, you shouldn't need a book that came out 10 years later to fill the plot holes, or explain portions of a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
