"Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!"
actually when I was a kid (back in the 80s) I though that's why the Emperor's face was deformed. I though that it was a scar on his forehead because Anakin attacked him with a lightsaber. And his hatred made him turn to the dark side.
@knottsknocks That's a very good question and to me part of the intrigue of Ep. I. We can only speculate about the original plan, the important facts we do know are: 1. Sidious wanted Naboo invaded 2. He also wanted the treaty signed by Amidala (legalizing the invasion) even after being elected supreme chancellor. My guess is Sidious originally wanted to 'legally' invade world after world and create turmoil in that way
@NottinghamForest22 Actually - imo Palpatine/Darth Sidious was the only actor that held stable acting in all of the Star Wars movies. Especially Revenge of the Sith.
Oh that's a bit unfair. Christopher Lee and (to an extent) Ewan McGregor were effective given their material. I would have said Jones was as well, but sadly thanks to the material he was given in Episode 3 the only real thing he was able to deliver were lines that would become parodied time and time again and not because they were actually good like some other lines he got in the original trilogy.
@Thedoctor19000 Of course, no argument there. Actually it was a joke, the "gooooooood" on my post was actually Palpatine saying "goooooood" to Anakin when Anakin agreed to become Palpatine's apprentice. But yes, point taken.
With Palpatine's death, the saga is complete. However, good job either way. I just always remember Palpatine as perhaps my favorite villain death in film. I know, there's others, but there's something magical about how he falls screaming to his death in the Death Star's core that makes it such a great ending.
I completely forgot that Palpatine was from Naboo. That makes it all the more horrible about how evil he is, considering that he came from such a good place.
@Mkoberland it's just hard to tell from his face ;) naboo such a nice place then this fugly motherfuker is born and wants to rule the galaxy, pretty strange
@Dimitri0809 i dont know what planets the original siths were from, but palpatine is human... i thought he was born on like some mustafa or coruscant planet...
@shaneymane15 Again, if you want to get technical, Clive Revell was the original Emperor in ESB. But for the purposes of this discussion, Ian McDiarmid was in every movie except A New Hope.
By the way... to those who think the Emperor died when Vader threw him into that pit, I'm HAPPY to announce you that Sidious didn't die. From what I understood, by the time Sidious rose to proeminence as a very dangerous Sith Lord, he succesfully learned how to be immortal and to preserve his spirit. That's why he created those clones of him, so that his spirit could possess each body right after the former body was killed. So... "Star Wars - Episode 7: Return of the Sith".
In my opinion, the only Sith Lords that could match Darth Sidious were the ancient ones, like Marka Ragnos(in the era before KotOR 1), Darth Traya(Dark Lady of the Sith who was almost as manipulative/mystic/dark as Sidious), Darth Revan(many believed him to be the Sith'ari, the Chosen One of the Sith), Darth Sion(who looked like a living corpse, but used the dark side to stay alive) and Darth Nihilus(who was SO corrupted by the dark side that he became merely a dark side energy).
If you look at the Star Wars Univerise as an organism or body out of the trillions possibly hundreds of trillions of cells(sentient life) within in it he is able to orchastrate control of the Force, destruction of major Planetary bodies, systematic control of sentient and non sentient life. and plan just general badness... he stands on top...there is no equal. And to boot he does it as a mortal or temporal entity... ie not a god or angelic being just a plain old man superior and scary
I miss those ominous hologram transmissions. Sidious is THE MASTER, the one who orchestrated everything. It's a disturbing thought, to consider that such a menacing genius could actually exist. Working, manipulating, plotting in the shadows as we speak...
@Flawdaboi1589 Perhaps, but Sidious masterminded all the key events. The clone wars, the discovery of the clones, the vote of no confidence, the Jedi 'rebellion', Anakins turn, the invisible hand, converting the chosen one, manipulating and exploiting Plagueis etc...
@Flawdaboi1589 His genius is especially evident in the Phantom Menace. Amidala arriving on Coruscant was completely against the plan, but Sidious manages to manipulate this unexpected event to his advantage by getting her to vote against Valorum
Of course Vader is more famous! But thats just the thing! The devil works in disguise and behind the curtains, but he influences everything! Everything Vader is is because of that ultimate evil guy! So Vaders fame is his in many ways! Lukas realy gave a great human form to evil!
@KungVanargand Exactly - people who are annoyed at Sidious's comparative lack of mainstream popularity, should realise this is exactly what Sidious would want...he wants to sneak and scheme, pulling the strings as the ultimate puppet master without anyone realising. Vader was far too weak to dare challenge Sidious alone. Nobody was as intelligent and crafty as Darth Sidious. Technically, the Chosen One, Vader pre-Mustafar mutilation could have grown roughly twice the maximum power of Sidious.
@Reathold Yes, indeed, because the trauma destroyed much of his biomass and the midichlorians in his flesh. Encased in a suit of heavy armour and with a respirator, Anakin had to change his whole fighting style. It is telling how as Darth Vader pre-Mustafar he rampaged through Jedi Temple killing an unspecified number of Jedi himself including Cin Drallig and Serra Keto, the former being Yoda's last direct Padawan (like Dooku was) until Luke. As post-Mustafar Vader he barely held off 8 Jedi.
@Reathold During the Jedi Enclav incident. My memory on this one is a bit hazy atm, but I think either 8 or 12 Jedi gathered on a planet in the Outer Rim, and the Empire became aware of them. Vader attacked, I think with the 501st in support as usual. Vader was in control though it took all his power to fend off the Jedi. The Emperor learned of the disappointing effort - which Anakin pre-Mustafar would have dealt with in short order - but had Imperial propaganda say it was 50 Jedi with no 501st.
Glad to see that you ripped the parts from Episodes 4, 5, and 6 from the original format. It's so difficult to find them now, even on torrent sites :-(
Hard to tell, as he used truth and lies interchangeably to get to his own ends. Even if he did know how to save her, she kind of needed to die so he could have full control over Anakin.
Why i love dark side ? It's not because they bad, i'm just don't belive in democracy, i hate democracy, monarchy is the best. Second reason is little diffrent, jedis want only study light side of force, siths boths sides; jedi are restricted in teaching, when you want learn a true nature of the force, you should study both aspects.Anyway, Yoda is wrong, Dark Side isn't easier, dark side use all aspects of the force so you are obviously stronger on dark side than light side.
@Elit666 sorry about my bad english ;) Darth Sidious is a freakin genius, he (with Darth Vader) kill almost every jedi (even counting books), they (empire) were closest ever in entire Star Wars history to wipe out all jedi (but unfortunately peasant from tatooine save the day ;/).
@Elit666 the only disadvantage is that at one point a dark side user will be corrupted by his own power and become just an empty shell filled only by the desire to achieve more and more power...and there are countless examples of Jedi who turned to the dark side for the sake of a greater good but failed utterly...two of them were Revan and Jacen Solo who wanted to save the galaxy but in the end they were destroyed and became evil themselves..fortunately Revan had a second chance and he took it
Its ironic how the older Ian Mcdiarmid played the younger Emperor in the prequels and the younger Ian Mcdiarmid played the older Emperor in Return of the Jedi.
Underappreciated? Then why is it that when I talk about bad guys with non-geeks, mentionning the Emperor in Star Wars is either the first thing they do or the easiest way for me to get them to know what I'm talking about? Pretty much everyone knows an "appreciates" the guy.
@paireon Compared to Vader he is nowhere near as famous/well known to people who aren't into Star Wars. Vader is a pop-culture icon, along with Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, Yoda etc.
Of course, the prequels evened the score a little by making Vader the annoying brat and Sidious the ultimate bad-guy :)
@Fro0lik That's why I like the newer trilogy better than the original-Palpatine/Sidious gets more exposure than Anakin/Vader!! Also, the lightsaber clashes are 5X faster!!!
@Fro0lik Actually, sidious is probably nearly as well known. Numerous politicians have been referred to as 'emperor like'. when a british politician was made a lord, comedians asked 'who made him a lord, the sith?' I'd say he's well known as the emperor, just people have to be evil and manipulative to warrant a comparison, to be like vader you just need to act like a thuggish brute.
@Fro0lik Palpatine is well-known amongst the people who know nothing about SW. unlike them, we know more about this. We don't care for this abomination of the Sith. Anyone who isn't a George cocksucker or an ignorant tw@ will know that Sidious is far from a great and powerful sith lord.
@KingE20 Sidious just used powers he learned from other Sith Lords ages before the Rise of the empire. He used Traya's deceiving and disguising power, Nihilus' power, Exar Kun's saber techniques. He was just not able to do what Vitiate was able to do. Vitiate was the ONLY sith capable to dominate the minds of hundreds of Sith LORDS and everything else Sidious was able to. If Sidious was smart enough, he didn't use weak clone bodies. Clones can't sustain Force sensitive souls.
Still Sidious was the greatest of the Sith Lords,his skills of manipulation and his political maneuvering was unequaled,getting everyone to do his bidding.
@LemmingoftheBDA2 How difficult is it to bring a Nation to its knees when they already are laying on the ground? Vitiate also got many more and many powerful Sith to do his bidding. Marka Ragnos shaped the galaxy when he was ALREADY dead. If Naga Sadow lived in this Era, Sidious Death Star would have been crashed onto Endor. When everything else is weak, you seem very powerful. A simple 'claire-obscure' effect on filmography.
@STR33TSofJUST1C3 even so sideous was the most powerful sith in history. he has learned alot from plageis and was evil b4 he became a sith. he was strong in the force in many ways. tho the plan to destroy the jedi was not all his idea. a thousand year sith plan was put into play
Dude, he had a cameo in 5 and only had a major role in 6 of the OT. In the PT he started a major war, brought down the Republic turning it into an empie, began the massacre of the Jedi Order, and had all of his old allies (Dooku and the Seperatists) killed by the end. Granted the he did evil things in the OT, but he had a lot more to do in the PT.
@Fro0lik In contrast, the novelization was not ambiguous. In the novelization, Palpatine's knowledge, if not his power, clearly eclipsed Yoda. Yoda needed to retreat because he forsaw that the key to Sidious defeat had not yet come to fruition. Sidious drew his power from the aggression of others, including Yoda. Yoda realized that he could not defeat Sidious in combat, but needed to find an alternative method.
@Fro0lik I believe that you are missing the point. The movie was clearly ambiguous. It was also meant to show a contrast between the two fights (Anakin v. Obi and Palp v. Yoda). Anakin was more powerful than Obi, but he chose to make an injudicious decision and paid the price. Yoda captured Sidious lightning and returned it to him in a blast so powerful that both lost their footing. Yoda was wise enough not to fight from an untenable position.
@georgesullivansparks yes it is, Ian McDiarmid is the actor. although in Episode V originally (when Vader makes contract with Sidious by hologram), it was actually a woman playing Palpatine, while Clive Revill provided the voice-over, but it was replaced while Lucas was making Revenge of the Sith.
@jam63112 They were pretending to each other that turning him would be a joint effort, but each secretly desired to use him to kill the other and take Luke as an apprentice. Vader was trying to recruit Luke to his cause in ESB and you saw how quickly the emperor told Luke to kill Vader and take his place at his side. Sidious cared nothing for the crippled Vader, who was a shadow of his Jedi self, and I suspect that Vader secretly hated Sidious for all the tragedies he caused in his life.
the emperor and lord voldemort are the two most evil villains ever

Underappreciated is the wrong word. Underutilized is the correct one. He was BY FAR the most interesting character to watch in the prequels.

Its ironic how the older Ian Mcdiarmid played the younger Emperor in the prequels and the younger Ian Mcdiarmid played the older Emperor in Return of the Jedi.

Underappreciated? Then why is it that when I talk about bad guys with non-geeks, mentionning the Emperor in Star Wars is either the first thing they do or the easiest way for me to get them to know what I'm talking about? Pretty much everyone knows an "appreciates" the guy.

@paireon Compared to Vader he is nowhere near as famous/well known to people who aren't into Star Wars. Vader is a pop-culture icon, along with Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, Yoda etc.
Of course, the prequels evened the score a little by making Vader the annoying brat and Sidious the ultimate bad-guy :)

@Fro0lik That's why I like the newer trilogy better than the original-Palpatine/Sidious gets more exposure than Anakin/Vader!! Also, the lightsaber clashes are 5X faster!!!

@Fro0lik Actually, sidious is probably nearly as well known. Numerous politicians have been referred to as 'emperor like'. when a british politician was made a lord, comedians asked 'who made him a lord, the sith?' I'd say he's well known as the emperor, just people have to be evil and manipulative to warrant a comparison, to be like vader you just need to act like a thuggish brute.

@Fro0lik Palpatine is well-known amongst the people who know nothing about SW. unlike them, we know more about this. We don't care for this abomination of the Sith. Anyone who isn't a George cocksucker or an ignorant tw@ will know that Sidious is far from a great and powerful sith lord.

@KingE20 Sidious just used powers he learned from other Sith Lords ages before the Rise of the empire. He used Traya's deceiving and disguising power, Nihilus' power, Exar Kun's saber techniques. He was just not able to do what Vitiate was able to do. Vitiate was the ONLY sith capable to dominate the minds of hundreds of Sith LORDS and everything else Sidious was able to. If Sidious was smart enough, he didn't use weak clone bodies. Clones can't sustain Force sensitive souls.

Still Sidious was the greatest of the Sith Lords,his skills of manipulation and his political maneuvering was unequaled,getting everyone to do his bidding.
What greater power is there?
He brought the Republic to its knees.
LemmingoftheBDA2 1 month ago
@LemmingoftheBDA2 How difficult is it to bring a Nation to its knees when they already are laying on the ground? Vitiate also got many more and many powerful Sith to do his bidding. Marka Ragnos shaped the galaxy when he was ALREADY dead. If Naga Sadow lived in this Era, Sidious Death Star would have been crashed onto Endor. When everything else is weak, you seem very powerful. A simple 'claire-obscure' effect on filmography.

@STR33TSofJUST1C3 even so sideous was the most powerful sith in history. he has learned alot from plageis and was evil b4 he became a sith. he was strong in the force in many ways. tho the plan to destroy the jedi was not all his idea. a thousand year sith plan was put into play
Flawdaboi1589 2 weeks ago
@Flawdaboi1589 Being smart doesn't make you the most powerful. Vitiate and Traya were both smarter, more ingenious and more powerful than Sissyous
STR33TSofJUST1C3 2 weeks ago
@STR33TSofJUST1C3 yeah Vitiate is better emperor than palpatine because he lived for thousands of years and he has great force powers

Dude, he had a cameo in 5 and only had a major role in 6 of the OT. In the PT he started a major war, brought down the Republic turning it into an empie, began the massacre of the Jedi Order, and had all of his old allies (Dooku and the Seperatists) killed by the end. Granted the he did evil things in the OT, but he had a lot more to do in the PT.

@banditobane I've always undermined Voldemort, but after seeing the 4th movie, he is one sick fuck. I thought his presence was worse than Sidious.
GreenSpirit3 5 months ago
@Fro0lik In contrast, the novelization was not ambiguous. In the novelization, Palpatine's knowledge, if not his power, clearly eclipsed Yoda. Yoda needed to retreat because he forsaw that the key to Sidious defeat had not yet come to fruition. Sidious drew his power from the aggression of others, including Yoda. Yoda realized that he could not defeat Sidious in combat, but needed to find an alternative method.
gdkzen 5 months ago
@Fro0lik I believe that you are missing the point. The movie was clearly ambiguous. It was also meant to show a contrast between the two fights (Anakin v. Obi and Palp v. Yoda). Anakin was more powerful than Obi, but he chose to make an injudicious decision and paid the price. Yoda captured Sidious lightning and returned it to him in a blast so powerful that both lost their footing. Yoda was wise enough not to fight from an untenable position.

@georgesullivansparks yes it is, Ian McDiarmid is the actor. although in Episode V originally (when Vader makes contract with Sidious by hologram), it was actually a woman playing Palpatine, while Clive Revill provided the voice-over, but it was replaced while Lucas was making Revenge of the Sith.

by replacing/killing vader and luke take his place.
undead4500 5 months ago
@jam63112 They were pretending to each other that turning him would be a joint effort, but each secretly desired to use him to kill the other and take Luke as an apprentice. Vader was trying to recruit Luke to his cause in ESB and you saw how quickly the emperor told Luke to kill Vader and take his place at his side. Sidious cared nothing for the crippled Vader, who was a shadow of his Jedi self, and I suspect that Vader secretly hated Sidious for all the tragedies he caused in his life.
