In the prequels we see the planning and betrayal forming the intricate web of the Emperor that deceived the leaders of the Jedi and the leaders of the worlds.Susan G.

There was a character named Gaius Baltar who I loved to hate. He was a scientific genius but also completely insane and arrogant. I hated that guy!Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816124780657036981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-54762398244038475562011-03-07T08:04:13.102-07:002011-03-07T08:04:13.102-07:00Interesting you should point out Umbridge right no...Interesting you should point out Umbridge right now, as I just got past the part where Harry did his last detention in her office. "I must not tell lies." I remember shuddering with loathing every time I saw her signature, "Hem, hem," the first couple of times I read the book. My younger kids, who haven't read the series yet, don't believe me that the book Umbridge is far more detestable than the movie Umbridge.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear your friend's suggestion improved your story. I too didn't think of creating an antagonist for your book, since the situational conflict seemed pretty valid to me; but I think she's right, a really good character to hate adds to the conflict and drives the story forward.Kristin Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112300139571487439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-91569524442349983222011-03-07T06:32:20.095-07:002011-03-07T06:32:20.095-07:00The tormented and demented Anakin Skywalker/Darth ...The tormented and demented Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. While the movies didn't bring this into play as much the novels have. In order to "save" people from others (ie his mom), Anakin became a sorta top down guy. He really just wanted everything to be orderly so justice could be served. The rebels weren't so much scum as they represented free thinking which meant possible free action which in his opinion caused too much pain and agony. In his own way much like Delores, good choice I might add.Terri Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905158157291602809noreply@blogger.com
