Its been a while since I have written a blog of my own - I have appeared as a attributed to a few times lately (Thanks Stooge and Wife of Vader). But I got into work today after a rough night with bad sleep and dreams, and a stressful morning at home, and my boss is in a sour mood, and asked me to book a conference room for a staff meeting. Right then I knew its gonna be one of "THOSE" days, but then she was working on something and asked me the date, and I realized its March 15th. And thus I stated it's the 15th, and to quote a famous line....................."Beware the Ides of March".

"Et Tu Brute?" The last words of a dying Caesar. Now to tie this into star wars, after all this is a star wars site, and I try to always do a blog related to star wars in some way. So here I sit, thinking, (yes thinking before my shift at work starts), such a feeling thought from the shadows. How many people in the star wars movies had this kind of a thought? I can think of a few right now. Mace Windu when Anakin slices his arm off. Obi Wan looking into the holocron and seeing Anakin slashing up the younglings after his clone troopers turned on him. Perhaps Padme when sitting listening to the applause of the Imperial Sentate when the Empire is created and seeing all those senators turn on democracy. Hey even Han Solo probably thinks it when Lando reveals Darth Vader in cloud city to him. I think the biggest one of all is when Anakin, who has not been trusted by the Jedi who have been working to mold and, and yes, manipulate him into the Jedi they think he should be, gets revealed to him by Palpatine that he has been using and manipulating him too. Et Tu Palpatine? In his face and eyes you can see "oh no, not you too, you aren't what I perceived you to be". Or perhaps the more famous one is when Luke is feeling the "full power of the dark side" from the Emperor and Luke cries out for his father. At this point Luke has said no the Palpatine, and then all of a sudden - from behind - Darth Vader picks up his teacher, mentor, and Sith Master as if stabbing him in the back like Brutus did to Julius Caesar and tosses him over the edge. From what I have read in some sources, Et Tu Brute are most likely not the last words uttered by Caesar but something more closely resembling "You also, my son?" Hmmm Intersting thoughts. As Palpatine is lifted above Mr. Vaders head, think of this line next time you watch the old trilogy. Might give you a new view of that scene.
