What exactly was Palpatine trying to get revenge for?

The Sith were a group of Force users who believed that the Power of the force was more important to control and use for their own ends rather than the Jedi view of using the force for good and to help people the Sith and the Jedi fought a battle some 1000years before the time of the Star Wars saga.The Sith were vanquished and thought extinct but one survived and remained hidden and took an apprentice.Over the years when the apprentice became too powerful he killed his master becoming the new master and in turn taking an apprentice.This set in motion a new Sith code where the Sith remained hidden and secretly amassed power and wealth to gain the positions where they could plot their revenge on and destroy the Jedi.\nIn episode III the Sith defeat the Jedi by this subterfuge thus having their revenge.\nIts true that Revenge of the Jedi was originally the title of Return of the Jedi but George lucas decided that revenge wasnt an action appropriate for a jedi so he kept the Revenge title for the right time which was episode III

George Lucas said it was basically a makeup of ALL religions in some form or another. Guess u could see the Emperor or Vader as the Devil (I say emperor since he manipulated Vader) and Luke kinda compared to Jesus and Obi wan God and so on, but lets not go getting all ready to make a new religion. I believe in God and the Devil, SW is just a GREAT movie about good and evil.

Read the history books darling - he just needed a scapegoat. Human nature is always full of atrocities, don't you know it?

The motive would be to declare martial law.\n***\nThe plane intended to hit the Capitol was shot down before it hit it's target.  (I'm going off of the theories that I am familiar with.)  Signals were crossed and the plane was shot down early.  This, in turn, made for a wonderful story, as the plane was determined crashed because the brave souls on the flight stood up to their highjackers.  Had that plane hit the Capitol, the whole of D.C. would have been crippled and George W. Bush would have had an indisputable reason to declare martial law.\n***\nI don't have the movie memorized.  If you need to know about these conspiracies, please watch one of the films dedicated to the topic, or read a book based on the same.  The plane didn't hit (according to the theories I am familiar with) because the military plane sent to target it misinterpreted the orders.  Their plan did not go 100% accordingly, obviously.  The motive was there, the means were there, the actual act got muffed due to a lack of interpretation on the pilot's part.  (PLEASE do not think that I am holding these happenings as truth, I am just filling you in on all that I've watched, read, and heard on the radio.)\n***\nDid you ask just to ridicule?  I thought that this was a debate forum of sorts, not a free-for-all insult fest.

In my opinion, no. Luke did. Luke was the "chosen" one, not Anakin. \n\nThe force was out of balance because of Palpatine, clouding the Jedis' vision... Anakin only further tipped the scales. Once he was Darth Vader, he used the imbalance to the Empire's advantage, and killed almost all the jedi. \n\nOnly when Luke pleads for his father's help at the end of Ep. 6 is the balance returned to equilibrium. (Darth kills Palpatine)\n\nThat's the way I've always interpreted it. The subitle of Ep. 6 says it all: Return of the Jedi (Anakin)

We all at times would like to get revenge so we feel better. The best thing to do is really wait and don't act while your angry , sit it out and let it go for awhile and see if that feeling doesn't just fade away..

I don't think it was the real Sephiroth. It was the remnants of him from the Jenova cells in the materia that the guy stole from Rufus. That and the fact that the materia was damaged and a lot of it was lost during the battle between that bloke (can't remember his name) and Rufus as they fell from the building, so the guy that used it didn't get the full effect.

WTF?\n\nWhatever dude.  This does not even deserve a reasonable response.  Everyone knows that aliens did it as revenge for the UFO we shot down at Roswell.

Battle-wise, it was a tie. It was a cheap ending, because they both fell off that senate pod, but Yoda was lighter and fell farther. In some of the Expanded Universe books I have read, and wikipedia, it says that Yoda's vision pierced the shroud of the Dark Side and that he couldn't afford to die in the battle. He quit because he saw a New Hope ahead.

he's was human,\nthe electricity is a darkside power, by using it the darkside had warped and disfigured him, (he had been corrupted by the dark side), like anakin when he slaughtered the seperatist (his funky red and yellow eyes) yeah it was the darkside.\n\ndamm can't belive i actually typed that, guess i'm a neerd after all.

you want revenge on someone you call your "best friend?" why do you call them that then?

I agree with Bobounump youv'e probably caused him enough upset. And you need to be careful that getting revenge doesn't start taking over your life.

Revenge is not the answer.

At first, I would want revenge.  But, I would think the situation out carefully and then realize that revenge would make me no better than the person who had wronged me.  I am sure my mind would plot revenge over and over, but I would not act on it.  I would want to set the record straight.  If I was unable to set the record straight as a result of the unscrupulous actions of that person, I would find a way to get my side heard, without hurting someone else.  \n\nI think anyone that betrays you or tells lies about you is not worth the energy it takes to be angry with them.  I am a better person and honestly, if that person could do that to me, they really were never my friend!

Lincoln is describing a way to defeat your enemies.  By 'making friends' or attempting at being nice or civil with your enemies that will make them even more angry and defeat the purpose of them being mean to you. It's kind of like having a little brother. He will tease you to make you mad and respond to him. But if you act nicely back, or ignore him, then he has no point to keep bugging you if you won't ever react in the way he wants you to. The same thing can be said for Lincoln's quote.
