Sith Symbol - found - in ep III

[Darth Devious]

Check out the scene where anakin walks into Palpatines quarters. Palpatine is examining a red holographic readout. there are 2 sith simbols behind him. one on each side. It is the same simbol from the book about weapons and technology, surrounded by a circle.

If that is not the sith symbol, then what is?

[Empress Palpatine]

There are two black huge vases behind him. These stood out to me. The fact that there are two could symbolize duality. I remember reading somewhere about some deity holding two vases, despensing both good and evil. I don't recall which deity however.

Or are you referring to something else in the room?

[Darth Devious]

Those arent vases, those are urns.


Look beneath the Urns, on either side of Palpatine, about shoulder height, I think.

[Darth Devious]

I apologize, the sith symbols are not under the urns, but to the outside of the urns. If you step through the scene, you get a few good looks at them.


I am trying to draw it and paste it to the site. It kind of looks like an eye when you draw it.

I take it you have the dvd then? if you can play DVD's on whatever computer you use, then why not pause the dvd at the appropriate point, take a screenshot of it, and outline where these symbols are?

Id do it if i could find where my brother keeps his copy. And if i knew exactly which scene

[Darth Devious]

My software wont work on a commercial dvd.

[Darth Devious]

I drew the symbol that appears in the movie. I apologize for the quality, but I drew it free hand, and im not great at drawing things on the computer

I think i see where you mean now..
the two desk-like things on either side with lamps on them appear to have a symbol on them.

the copy im looking at is a bit blurred, but theres a circle with some kind of design inside them

[Azazel]

Glad you could post it DarthDevious.

[Empress Palpatine]

Yes, come to think of it, I did see that. Your drawing helped me to recall.

A good screenshot program is called Power DVD 5. Try the Best Buy stores. It is about 50 dollars. It will work on any DVD. It took a lot of asking around to find this software.

[Azazel]

or just make a "print screen" and save 50 dollars.

[Darth Sidious]

Believe it or not, i tried that and it doesnt work. when you save the image, then reopen it, you get a black screen. :-?

[Empress Palpatine]

Yup, that is what happens with "printscreen" or all the free versions I tried that people recommended.

I had to break down and buy one. This way I get great high resolution screenshots that I can bring into Photoshop.

[Mrs. Darth Vader]

Dear Darthdevious I liked the drawing of the Sith logo. It happens to look like an American Indian symbol I remember seeing. That is real cool. This would link Palpatine as pro-environment. The American Indians respected the earth and treated the earth and all its creatures with respect. The American Indians understood the balance of nature and the law of preydation.

[Azazel]

fellow sith
were, exactly can that suposed sith simbol be found ?
all i saw in the scene you told were lights, and 2 vases, but no sith simbols...

[Darth Devious]

The lamps sit on tables. The Sith Symbol is on the front of those tables, under the lamps.

[Azazel]

can someone gimme the exact time when that simbol appears ?
I have a new pc-dvd reading software that makes printscreens.
Let that sith simbol come forth.

[Darth Devious]

I'll see what I can do, but I worry that different dvd players might not represent the time the same.

Look for a later post today.

[Darth Devious]

try this

23:102:20 and 23:102:25

you will find it in chapter 23.

[Azazel]

Will see if i can find it.

[Seti-I-Shadim]

Look I have too much time on my hands sometimes & my victims die way too quickly. lol Is this what is being talked about?

Seti

[Azazel]

I think it is.
Were did you get those images from ?

[Darth Devious]

Seti, the symbol I found is attached to the front of the table directly under the urn that you posted.


It is the circular symbol that kind of looks like an eye.

[Seti-I-Shadim]

Here are the links:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gallery_of_insignia%2C_logos_and_symbols

You gotta love Wiki! :p

I have not yet found the precise insignia drawn as a graphic yet. I am still looking. The closest graphic is the one I posted above but that seems to be a variation.

Seti

[Azazel]

I have searched the star wars visual encilopedia, and that is were from that chalice came from.
as for the simbol, i guess we will never know...

[Darth Devious]

No azazel. the sith symbol is attached to the table directly under the sith chalice. It is right there in plain sight. I even cropped the image and posted it to this thread.

[Azazel]

But how do we know that to be the true simbol ?

[Darth Devious]

Because it is in the movie, in palpatines quarters, I guess.


If you look at it, it kind of makes sense.


It looks like the red circle symbol with the horizontal flames coming out, superimposed upon a 2 dimensional representation of a globe.

I figure, its in the movie, so its endorced by lucas, so its our best candidate.

[Mrs. Darth Vader]

I agree with Darth Devious. The symbol under the earn is the Sith symbol chosen by Lucas. So it is the best choice. I like Seti I Shadim's coment about how he has too much time on his hands and to many died. All your victums are in the earn, incinerated?" You have done well Lord Seti" ( Palpatine Voice).

[Azazel]

The thing i say is, how do we know that, that particular object, is the sith simbol?
i havent seen anything proving it to be, even if it is in Palpatines quarters.
If, for nothing else, the jedi would shurely recognise it.
