continue with the second installment of the post dedicated to the villains that George Lucas has squandered over the participation in Star Wars. The earlier you can find it here. Let's talk about Darth Maul and Palpatine.
Darth Maul
When the talk turns to charismatic villains that good Lucas has failed to treat or give them due weight, we all come to mind surely the name of Darth Maul. The Sith of the double-bladed sword is the paradigm of road that has been touring the new series, in which the quality of the artistic design of characters and settings have been greatest in exchange for a total reluctance about the script and character development. Notably, not something to be amazed if we understand that Luke is not and never has been a director who knows how to bring the actors. The mythical story is told in the extras of the classic trilogy on DVD in which Harrison Ford and Irvin Kershner tell how Lucas simply said "Do it!. I put there, you just do it" in the sense that it simply actors had read the script and you're done. The basic Differents between the classic trilogy and is current at that Lucas was not synonymous with God, but that was with a crew and actors when they said something was not working; paradigm is the best of the six movies is The Empire Strikes Back, the only one not addressed it. In the development of the first three episodes we see how the technical team designed items with hard work, after weeks of work, displayed almost frightened by Lucas their work while it merely means "not.. That one. Very well, we will continue in three weeks. " Therefore, no one to control mania in Lucas in front of the saga, we have are movies that seal in which the general argument of the film (and I stress the "general" in the sense of "broadly ") and the artwork is the most important thing, forgetting the interpretation of the actors and the motivation of the characters through the neglect of the main weapon of the classic trilogy: his brilliant dialogue, in a few lines defining the nature of the characters and their motivations, to the point of making such absurd credible cold streams as the annihilation of the planet Alderaan and the almost imperceptible signs of pain Leia Pirncesa beyond a shy "nooooo". The agile dialogues serve both to explain the historical references found (lesson teacher Obi-Wan on Tatooine to resume in less than 5 minutes all you need to know) as to frame the characters (Han Solo works almost from the first minute). Thing that shines by its absence in the new trilogy.
That said, follow those same guidelines. Her presence is captivating and enigmatic, the result of his great design that brings a level of charisma brutal. This is greatly appreciated in combat that takes place at the end of Episode I between Maul and the two Jedi. If the classic trilogy as important in fighting duels was not itself but the dialogue and the meaning it had (and, in Episode IV to the conversation between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan; in the V's intention not to kill Vader and Luke's final revelation and VI that the real significance is that Luke duel against itself) in this truly impressive is the choreography, that is, grief itself that establishes two things at a superficial level but clear: 1) The Jedi are very good at handling the lightsaber and 2) Darth Maul is even better and is against the ropes most of the fight. Therefore, this factor of enemy skilled in the arts, skilled and silent Darth Maul gives a perfect aura. For that reason and nothing else then was admired by fans, who wanted to know more about him.
The truth is that despite its popularity, it met the standard except that Darth Vader, all charismatic villain of Star Wars should disappear. The last show hidden Maul and uncertainties about their abilities and motivations as Sith were not enough to recover and Lucas decided to add depth to the character, since it was also easily insertable in Episode II both continuity and by the characteristics of the character: in the first question because we are in a universe full of technology that can be used as a reason of his "resurrection" and the second one, I hardly think that a person skilled in the infiltration and the battle can not get into the plot of attempted murder and alleged intrigue EADLC.
Palpatine
First of all should specify that I mean we saw Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, as there is a superb villain, very evil and wicked as it fulfills its role in the story to perfection, which is none other than being someone worse than Darth Vader for it to upper end the evil and redemption. Where I think is missed is firmly in the new trilogy, seized the title of this post syndrome and before we developed when we were talking about Darth Maul.
Moving on, maybe I can be rash to say that is a villain that has been extracted all the juice in the new series because, in fact, appears on all new films and make an Machiavellian plan to destroy the Jedi ... or not. Because I understand your machiavellian has nothing, as Machiavelli might be cynical but it was also an intelligent man who judged the passions of men with ease. In my opinion, the loose script of the first three episodes galactic simplifies too much the alleged plan of Palpatine to seize power and become ancillary things that should be important (for example, in the movie Revenge of the Sith is not appreciated with certainty the importance that should be Anakin Skywalker in his plans or the determinant of their treachery, as the vast majority of the dirty work are clones do by enacting the Order 66). I think also of extreme simplicity whole process of persuasion Anakin Skywalker, as the result of creative schizophrenia of George Lucas and final assembly of the film, intermingle decomposed the three bases to give Anakin over to the dark side of the Force: 1) Palpatine can provide the power to save his wife, 2) Palpatine convinced Anakin that the Jedi are not really a force for good and want to galactic domination and 3) Anakin is jealous (love) because he believes that Obi-Wan flirts with Amidala. Of these three, only the latter was finally removed from the film. But this does not remedy the deeply artificial result that Anakin knows Palpatine is a Sith Lord and, therefore is evil, that same knowledge to infer that the only thing that takes Anakin to accept the teachings of Palpatine (which, incidentally, are conspicuous by their absence in the movie) is his immeasurable love for Padme and not, conversely , establishing that the Jedi are evil and are planning to overthrow him, who appears in the final conversation with Obi-Wan, is an argument that lies in the minds of the young Sith. And this without addressing the holes in his supposed plan is foolproof, holes, though, that the Expanded Universe has been in charge of covering tying loose ends that seemed or action that seemed very left to chance. But keep in mind that here we are talking about George Lucas's relationship with its villains and you have to give George Lucas certainly knows little or nothing, or is aware of what is happening in your porpio Universe. Some evidence is in that sense, at least, as when he says in the comments of LVDLS Grievous coughs at the conceptual stage because I wanted a character in "sick", ignoring the fact that the droid General such thing as Mace Windu crushed his chest at the end of the first Clone Wars series.
So, if Palpatine's plan is simple and persuasive skills leave much to be desired, I understand that this impacts negatively on the character, that someone should be displayed as infallible, which acts almost mechanically, and that really causes a profound transformation and reasoned well as an agent of Anakin Skywalker. Do not be a villain operetta easy and predictable.
The next installment will end with the characters and not wasted, but certainly ridiculed, they are not few.
Regards!
PS: I edit to clarify that in Return of the Jedi Richard Marquand is credited director, but in view of Luke's comments about the shooting ("In the end it was quicker to go and do it myself than let what do others ") makes it quite clear that who is really behind the camera is it, hence to say that Episode V is the only one not directed by him.
