Palpatine couldn’t have picked a better (or worse) time imaginable.

[@troll2925]

man i love legends lore
Thank you

[@jaieregilmore971]

The Jedi should always fight for peace and always prepare for war also can you do a video on Labyrinth of evil feel an underrated book.

[@ozmozis6073]

Questions. How much of this plan did Sideous' master, Plagueis participate in? When exactly did the Neimoidians (Gunray) become aware that Palpatine and Sideous were one and the same? Did Sideous use his Sith mind powers to sway the plans, or was all this done by sheer diplomacy and deceptive planning? Thanks.

The Confederacy NEVER knew Palpatine was Sidious.

Can you imagine if the quality of the dialog matched the quality of the plot? It would have been a great trilogy.

[@The_ch0sen0ne5]

I didn’t have an issue with the dialogue aside from a few nitty griddies

[@fatboy_jarred6925]

it isnt that bad the actors needed more help filling out their roles. i wish Lucas would've found someone more experienced than Hayden but i cant imagine the prequel trilogy without him

[@cheezeebutter452]

Disagree, dialog is good

[@DaringDan]

@@cheezeebutter452 rewatch the fireplace scene in aotc. it's indefensible.

“It’s all obi wans fault, HE HOLDING ME BACK!!!”

[@tompearce5418]

If Palpatine hadn't been around the Republic would have torn itself apart anyway, with no Imperial military to hold the rotting corpse together. By the end of Rise of Skywalker the galaxy has comprehensively rejected the New Republic, the First Order and all forms of interstellar government in favour of widespread isolationism.

Retney delivering as always excellent Star Wars lore my friend.

[@RetneysHolocron]

[@Angyali]

333. like from me to the video! Palpatine fooled everyone, including his own master and all his apprentices.

[@beaupierrebondurant5651]

Darth Sidious, the greatest sith Lord ever.

[@emperorvader9688]

Palpatine is extremely smart

[@TaraCicora]

Despite growing up on the OT, I am such a PT simp. I love this stuff.

[@revan-ix8uw]

OT was for the kids....PT was for hard-core adults fans

[@bryankennedy2257]

Hail the CIS....

[@andreweisen3465]

I still find it strange there wasnt a single jedi alive during that time that had heard of kamino. Especially yoda being 900+ years old

[@lamaahruloma4270]

Tell me every City or county/kraj in the world, please. 😊

[@andreweisen3465]

I'm one person who's been alive for 33 years... not 10s of thousands of people who literally traversed the universe as a job

[@elmermedina1713]

Jocasta Nu told anyone who brought it up that if it wasn't in the archives it did not exist

[@TwoDollarGararge]

It's called plot armor people act like George Lucas didn't use it

[@RetneysHolocron]

Well Kamino is in the unknown regions. But at some point the Jedi did discover it, since it was in the archives

[@imtmworldwideradio]

They should have been did Darth Plagues

[@joakimareskoug1437]

Sidious n Plagueis combined equals 600IQ

[@edickens8170]

You released the same video again
