But did all the "Graendal lives" people specify what Sidious seems to have? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 21/09/2010 05:02:12 PM
There were quite a few posters who thought that this plot was too convoluted and there was a whole lot of back and forth on this point. I maintained that this was what a reasonable person would do, given Graendal's skills and motivations.


It doesn't count (or not in the same way) if you merely said "I refuse to believe this because Graendal is too smart or narrative reasons suggest she will has stuff ahead to do." The one theory I read on the subject had her observing Rand's group and deftly undoing the Compulsion to make it look like she died. Such a theory could not possibly count as being right. To be able to claim to have "called" this one, IMO, you need to have specified that she had someone else weave the Compulsion. That was always the central issue - not whether or not she COULD have bailed, but how she faked Rand's proof. Did anyone else predict this?

It's good to see that after all the battles to prove we weren't crazy that we were ultimately right - 21/09/2010 04:06:48 PM 770 Views

Mines didn't; he one-upped many of our ideas on one or two details - 21/09/2010 07:28:43 PM 708 Views

The worst part is he's arguing with people about it rather than just changing it like everyone else - 22/09/2010 02:56:57 AM 616 Views
Just how is this a debatable issue? - 22/09/2010 03:28:40 AM 641 Views
