      @@Mattyj3388 I think it came down to not truly training Vader. Sidious believed in the rule of one and planned on ruling the galaxy forever with or without Vader. So he kinda laid down the basics of the dark side with his apprentice but didn’t truly teach him how to subdue his inner conflict and embrace his pain and anger.

      I wouldn’t say manipulating and turning anakin to the dark side was EASY necessarily. The movies definitely make it seem that way but there’s time skips an we only get a handful of scenes of the two of them together obviously. Anakin also a lot of trauma such as being born a slave therefore abused and beat as a child, his mother dying in his arms a slave, etc. Some other Jedi such as Yoda would likely be able to cope with these events better due to their lack of attachment, fear, anger etc. but we know that as a child and later in life Anakin struggled composing his emotions naturally. I’m not sure if this is true but maybe since he was kind of a product of the dark side (no biological father, basically created by the force by the sith as far as I know) he naturally had these tendencies and some dark side inside him?

      @gabrielscarlat8592 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      There would be no tragedy to Palpatine's life, in contrast to Arthur Fleck/Joker. Palpatine was just a young man/teenager who directly turned to the dark side, without being good/on the light side in the first place. He was trained in the dark arts from the very beginning. Besides, from what I've read, Palpatine as a young boy/young adult was already kinda psychopathic or lacking remorse to some stuff he did.
      So the idea of a Palpatine movie, similar to that of Joker, wouldn't make much sense. Palpatine/Darth Sidious wouldn't be considered a hero or a tragic figure as it is with Arthur Fleck.
      What must be said, though, is that Darth Sidious is the last true Dark Lord of the Sith. I would write a whole book about him. He has alot in common with the ancient Sith Lords (from the KotOR and the Old Republic games). I prefer Darth Sidious oger Darth Vader any day°

It doesnt necessary mean he would be a sympathetic character, just the film like joker would focus on the villain as the protagonist, and you'd see this 'protagonist' commit more and more evil stuff as the film progresses, till eventually theyre the villain we knew they would become. Whilst you would see his lack of empathy and sociopathic tendacies at the beginning, he wouldn't have necessarily done anything evil. But as the film progresses, like in joker, u see what happens to the character to make them become the villain, and it would likely end with Palpatine murdering his father

    • @MegaJesseman
      @MegaJesseman 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Irl psychopaths usually are relatively 2 dimensional. Usually, it just involves piss poor parenting causing them to turn evil. They don't need a long list of a tragic backstory or a dissention into madness. And there are a decent amount of psychopaths who were just born evil and did not have to have any forme of trauma to induce it. It's more realistic whenever the villain is just psychopathic because they were born that way, than it is for them to have some kind of weakness or soft side to them. Hitler was just a piece of crap. His only soft side to my knowledge was he liked heterosexual, cisgender, non-Jewish, white males. Which isn't really a redeeming quality. A lot of serial killers' "good sides" are just chopped up as being a means of staying incognito.

    Plaguies might be my favorite Star Wars novel... or at least in my top 5 anyway. Its fun watching Plaguies and Palpatine toying with all of these super powerful, super rich, and super well connected politicians, crime lords, and royal houses. These Republic elites are all arrogant and corrupt, and they think of themselves as being equal or greater to Palpatine and Plaguies. But when the Sith Lords are forced to reveal themselves, they quickly demonstrate that these rich politicians and lords were never their equal. It reminds me of that scene in Batman where Bane asks Dagget 'do you feel in charge?' Yeah, Palpatine and Plaguies basically do that a lot to the Coruscant elite and its always satisfying.

    @eldermillennial8330 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s clear that Darth Plagus (and perhaps starting with his own master or even earlier) had hijacked the Nabooian soft eugenics breeding system for their own purposes. By “soft” is that they practiced a form eugenics that required no killing or sterilization or forced breeding, no rights violations. It takes a lot more patience to do it that way, but it eventually paid off with producing early geniuses of various specialties, like being able to serve as a competent Queen as young as 14. Palpatine, like Amadala, was of the Political caste, but his father seemed, by what you’re saying, to specialize in being a middle man. I’m not sure if they were deliberately breeding sub specialists within each caste, but if they were, Palpatine’s early behavior would have stood out more oddly, so probably not to that extent. But I am convinced that he was a product of his master meddling with the breeding system. For one thing, Naboo has precise control over how many mediclorians a child has in his cells. Unless they need a representative on the Jedi Council, they wouldn’t likely produce a force sensitive, and Jedi probably would reject such a child on the grounds of conflict of interest. No thanks. So since they have no need for one, they keep their children’s mediclorian levels below force sensitivity. Subsequently, the Jedi don’t bother registering them like they do everywhere else in the Republic. They KNOW that none are sensitive who are born on Naboo. The other genetic manipulation potential aside, that alone is a perfect reason to grow an apprentice for the Sith there, the only way to get an apprenticeship from within the Republic undetected. No child is ever forced to join the Jedi, but being a force sensitive who declines is basically an automatic sentence of permanent probation, just in case, as darkside users do arise on occasion independently of the Sith. So until Palpatine, Sith had always had to find apprentices outside of the Republic’s reach, to keep themselves hidden. Until they successfully broke into the Naboo breeding system undetected, that is.
