Post-DMC3 Vergil and Dante end up in Naboo right before Episode 1 as the Trade Federation starts the blockade and before the landing of the Droid Army

Not having Midochlorians the twins have the same wrongness to the Force the Vong have

Per dead Sparda's wishes the brothers want to help the people of SW while they are there

Mere seconds after the Second Death Star is destroyed in ROTJ, the planet of Alderaan as it existed just before the first Death Star arrived appears in the place of the Alderaan Remains.

Today's star wars fanfic recommendation:


Plot:

"Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Boba Fett are stranded on Earth and must befriend a Star Wars fan club to survive".


This is my favourite chapter of that particular fic, where the young sister of the Star Wars fan that Palpatine has abducted and wants to train to replace Vader... only being a little kid from Earth she tell him he's nasty and mean and hurts people, that she hopes he wets his trousers, and then she sticks her tongue out at him!

Top 10 anime plot twists:

during the events of AOTC *both* the droid army *and* the Clone army are completely erased from existence at the most awkward possible time of the movie for Sidious and Tyranus.

[Zyobot]

That is all.

I wish that more Star Wars works would show Reality Ensues - Sidious may be an evil sorcerer, but he is still a unqualified civilian, not a member of the galactic armed forces, and so has no grasp of military matters or tactics. His interference should make things *worse* than is often shown.

A civilian, perhaps, but I imagine decades of Sith training would provide him with a solid education on tactics and strategy (if little direct experience on the front lines). That, and considering how the Grand Plan was soon reaching its apex by the time of the Prequels, it makes sense that Plagueis would've only redoubled this emphasis when training Palpatine.

  Possibly but - while I don't know the universe in detail - didn't the Sith work very much in the background?  As such they might know more about espionage, assassination etc than large scale military activities.  Which doesn't exactly bode well for them taking direct control of the military.  [Have I just outed Putin as a Sith! ]

The Rule of Two Sith, leading up to Sidious’s ascendancy? Yes, and espionage, assassination, and political maneuvering were all tools of the trade for them, as far as day-to-day activity went.

What I’m saying is that Sidious probably would’ve studied up on military tactics and strategy during the build up to the Clone Wars. Sure, he may not have been a general or had direct battlefield experience himself, but knowing something about to “tinker with” logistics or troop movements to prevent too quick a victory here or too drawn-out a campaign there would’ve been important. If military historians with no actual military experience can become qualified experts in their field, then I see no reason Palpatine couldn’t have learned a thing or two under Plagueis’s tutelage.

[Zyobot]

Yeah, I don't know how people come up with this shit, either.
