Nope. They both get pw3nd by Clonetroopers. In the back. Well, Vos dies via Juggernaut.

Who the hell can shoot that babe in the back? Those clonetroopers have no balls.

*sigh* I knew I shouldn't have jumped into this thread.

Is that in the script, or liberties taken by Dark Horse? IIRC, Quinlan Vos was also drawn into the Geonosis battle by Jan Duursema for the AOTC comic adaptation.

Now that you put it that way .... not in the script, we don't have the script available yet.

Its in the ROTS novelization as to at least *how* they could kill so many Jedi with no warning- the Clonetroopers had no malice, they were just following orders, and the act of fighting a war had blinded the Jedi even more than they had in AOTC (I'm doing a canon analysis page based on the scanned pages of the novelization available). Combine that with the implicit trust they have of their own troops .... They way they do it is very cold and ... even. Aayla asks her Clone Commander (he's in the trailer- ARC Trooper garb) if he thinks the reason its gone all quiet is droids, he simply pulls out his pistol and shoots her repeatedly in the back while simply saying "no".

Ki-Adi-Mundi gets it the same way. Commander Bacara (cool looking clone trooper, different helmet from the rest) just says "General ..." and shoots him in the chest with no warning whatsoever. The same thing is repeated with a few more Jedi that we've seen.

Awesomely awesome. Your description of it brought a chill to my spine.

The scene in the movie might be slightly different judging from this pic:

Looks like all her troops are ARC Troopers.

I guess the only way to verify this without seeing the movie is if Vos was mentioned in the novelization by name, at least.

After reading the above, chilling, statments, I have to say these scenes, if true. Would be cold and heartlerss enough to truely make E-III the Dark movie it needs to be so very very bad... No more of this Binks stuff, no more goofyness, just hard, cold, evil deeds...

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-03-26 03:11am

Now that I think about it, there are a lot of similarities between the Social Police and the clone troopers. More reasons Stover is a good choice to write the novelization of Episode III.

If I was going to wack a Jedi, I wouldn't do it fair either. Shoot him in the back, blast her from orbit, drop a house on him whatever. The Jedi might sense the threat, but he'll probably looking around for droid assassins instead of the clone troopers around him.

The graphic novel is available in .pdf format on MF.com for those who want to be completely and utterly spoiled. I am one of those. IMO, the graphic novel is very rushed.

Might I be able to get a link?

Every time I type milleniumfalcon.com into my browser I get starwars.com. There has to be something I'm missing.

You're spelling it wrong, for one

Yeah it's a bit spineless, but if want kill a Jedi live to tell the tale you must use tactics that are not entirely honorble (Aalya Secura defeated two rather stong lookin thugs(a Wolfman and probaly a human) with out using using her saber or any other weapon) so jedi with lightsaber at close range is very dangerous opponent (read better to be killed when (s)he is unawere of you).

Very nice! There seems to be Imperator (or Imperial)-class Star Destroyers patrolling the space around the construction site. However, does it seem as if they've retained the scale? While the DS under construction bears some superficial resemblance to the ICS, it seems to be too small, especially compared to the ISDs, but perhaps it's too difficult to say anything conclusive.

It's just concept art, not anything that's been finalized, and considering that we already know that ILM uses the Dorling Kindersley books as references, there shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, it's only concept art. I guess I got a little carried away.

Yea, it's concept art, but it is very nice concept art

Though if we were going to analyze things a bit, those spherical Construction droids working on the DS. If those things were to scale? They’d be HUGE!

Thanks. This is more and more sounding like a book that I want to buy.

One problem I saw (unless I misinterpreted it), in the comic it shows Obi Wan getting stopped by a "ray" shield... why did this happen? Shouldn't he have been able to walk through the shield?
