Hello, im new here - I just signed up. Been a huge fan of the movies for years, I have seen the original series new when they first came out in the theater.

Okay my questions - maybe you guys can help clafify a few things for me

[1]The Emperor - Who was his master?

[2]It states that in the scriptures there would be a virgince in the force hense why Qui-gon Jinn thought Anakin was the chosen and and he had the highest medachlorian count ever more than Yoda. But ROTJ, Anakin is defeated by luke, and luke didn't have half the training Anakin did - so is Lukes medachlorian counter higher - does he have the potential to become a greater Jedi?

[3]In Episode 4, OB1 tells darth that if you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. How come only OB1 can communicate through the force? Does the books or anything explain this?

[4]I am missing something and I need help to understand this - in Episode2, Count Duku aka Tarranis(sp?) leads the seperatists under the control of the emperor - During this time are the seperatists aware of this? Is Jango aware of this? Then why the clone wars - why not just join forces - I need some clafification here.

Thanks guys

you mean a force spirit? a few other force users are able to do it as well, anikan skywalker talkes to leia for expample

its all part of a plot by the emperor, who is also palpatine (the leader of the repulic) to get more power. as the war goess on he gets the senat to give him special powers, which he keeps and uses to found the empire.

[1]The Emperor - Who was his master?

Unknown.

[2]It states that in the scriptures there would be a virgince in the force hense why Qui-gon Jinn thought Anakin was the chosen and and he had the highest medachlorian count ever more than Yoda. But ROTJ, Anakin is defeated by luke, and luke didn't have half the training Anakin did - so is Lukes medachlorian counter higher - does he have the potential to become a greater Jedi?

Again, unknown. The Anakin of ROTJ was not the Anakin of the prequels physically, and while his midichlorian count might have been higher than Yoda's, he never achieved Yoda's level of control over the force (or Palpatine's, for that matter). It's possible--likely, actually--that once he became Palpatine's apprentice, Palpatine made sure he never reached his potential as a Force user. So it's difficult to measure Luke's power against his, especially since it's very likely Luke never approached his own potential, either.

[3]In Episode 4, OB1 tells darth that if you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. How come only OB1 can communicate through the force? Does the books or anything explain this?

Powerful Sith have been able to communicate through the Force thousands of years after their physical deaths, so I assume some powerful Jedi have, too. And of course, during the ROTJ funeral scene, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda's Force ghosts are all in attendance.

[4]I am missing something and I need help to understand this - in Episode2, Count Duku aka Tarranis(sp?) leads the seperatists under the control of the emperor - During this time are the seperatists aware of this? Is Jango aware of this? Then why the clone wars - why not just join forces - I need some clafification here.

It's unclear how much the Separatists know--does anyone besides the Trade Federation even know he's Darth Sidious's apprentice, for example--but it's a safe assumption that they don't know Count Dooku and Chancellor Palpatine are conspiring to manage both sides of the Clone War for their own ends.

it's revealed in "Labyrinth of Evil" (spoiler)it's Darth Plagueis, but apart of the name nothing is know of him/her

some C-canon emplies that Luke is Stronger then Anakin, but nothing is known for certain.

Anakin can do that too and possible also Yoda

first it's Darth Tyrannus(IIRC) aka Count Dooku and it's possible that the CIS does know of his links to Darth Sidious, but dout that they know who Sidious is.

Some Seperatists know for sure that Dooku has a master. When the Clone Army lands on Geonosis Dooku specificaly tells the Sepy war council "My master will not let the Republic get away with the treachery". It's doubtful they know he's Palpatine.

Its possible that Anakin would have been far stronger than Luke, had he not been injured.

Yes, from what I hear Vader was actually more powerful than the Emperor (at least potential-wise). However, losing 3/4 of his body to the lava greatly reduced his power.[/i]
