Quick question about a Palpatine quote...
Palpatine and Anakin are talking and the subject of truth comes up. Palpatine says something quotable like "Truth is a matter of opinion." but I forget his exact words and I can't seem to find it in any list of ROTS quotes I've come across. Does someone have a better memory than me?
"Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me...God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist." -- Academician Prokhor Zakharov
"Hal grabs life by the balls and doesn't let you do that [to] hal."
"I hereby declare myself master of the known world."

The Catholic Church would certainly not be pleased by the "moral relativism".An easily procured script wrote:PALPATINE: Good is a point of view, Anakin. And the Jedi point of view is not the only valid one. The Dark Lords of the Sith believe in security and justice also, yet they are considered by the Jedi to be. . .
ANAKIN: . . . evil.
PALPATINE: . . . from a Jedi's point of view. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way, including their quest for greater power. The difference between the two is the Sith are not afraid of the dark side of the Force. That is why they are more powerful.

Thank you very much, both of you!

Ironically enough, we later have Obi-Wan saying that "only a Sith deals in absolutes".
"The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in her heart she knew it wasn't. In that instant, she completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People's chickens. But this was no chicken.

Well, Palpy is doing a sales job. The more truthful "there are the strong and then there are the weak fools who we dominate" might not have been as persuasive.

More Palpatine bull and manipulation.
Dont beleive a word he utters, it's all BS.
And remember there were Nazis (and still are) who claim that they were 'prtrayed as evil' and the Holocaust 'never happened'. I'm sure he would like us to beleive the, what, EIGHTEEN Sith Wars never happened or that they were prtrayed as evil conquerors when they were only trying to bring flowers to little sick children when those meany Jedi pushed them down in the mud.

The "absolutes" thing isn't really about the Sith, I mean, Anakin was the one going batshit insane and dealing with absolutes. And he wasn't really a Sith, aside from his title.

The absolute thing was more Obi Wan telling himself he wasn't against Anakin.
Palpatine's lines about point of view, was in regards to how the Jedi act and think.
