The fact he took over thousands of Jedi and wiped out most of them within a single night he was truly a evil genius he even managed to corrupt the chosen one quite easily and took his chance to reveal himself after so many years what he really was
The chosen one still restored balance to the force at the end of the original films. So palpatine still had weaknesses of not being able to foresee that happening
@@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?
palpatines existence not being detectable by a force user is so unique it obviously gave him the confidence to hide in plain site while infiltrating the republic and orchestrating a galactic civil war that he would later use to create the empire for him to rule and destroy the jedi order…all because he was considered a shadow in the force
I've been saying for years that they need a Palpatine origin story movie! He's the, if not one of the best villains ever written. It's time to see how he became who he did in a full length movie.
@@Mister_Jay_Tee Really? I thought James Luceno came up with this name for the Tarkin novel. This restored my respect for Luceno! ;) He's too good an author to come up with such a stupid name! However, since Underworld was cancelled (which I'm glad it was in retrospect, because it probably would have fucked the timeline even more than TCW), this name isn't canonical in Legends. I'm thankful for what George gave us, but sometimes he has really stupid ideas.
Beauty of Darth Sidious is there's always things hidden from others forever lost or waiting to be found. Possibly Palpatine has relatives left, or clones. Wouldn't be surprised if he had a hidden brother his own parents didn't know. Such is the power of the Dark side.
Now that I’ve watched this video, Disney absolutely *HAVE* to give Palpatine his very own standalone character study/origin story anthology movie similar to Joker
God forbid!!!! Disney would utterly ruin it, like they ruin everything! i like Palpatine, and that's exactly why i would NEVER want Disney anywhere close to him!
@@bluemoondiadochi what about the mandalorian? Clone wars season 7? Rogue one? I personally dislike the sequels, but dont think it being Disney would necessarily ruin it. I'd also mention kenobi show looking promising, with the director also having done two of the best episodes of the mandalorian in my opinion (3 and 7). So long as it had some passionate about star wars with a vision like Dave Fioni or Jon Favrou I'd be okay with it, and kept kathyleen kennedy as far out as possible
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°
@@gabrielscarlat8592 I think they were on about how both a hypothetical palpatine film would be focused on a singular character as they become a villain like the joker, . 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
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.
The audio book Darth Plaguis is one of the best I have ever heard. its so fascinating and ethereal and tells such a rich story so well....id love to see it become a movie
To be sure; I believe ' Star Wars Darth Plaigus ' the novel is THE perfect way to go for either a movie or series depicting the novel, as it clearly defines Palps from a young age to a full fledged Sith Lord, and the scope of his rise to power as well....
I love his backstory, it adds so much depth to him. Unfortunately, this video leaves out several important things about how abusive his father was to the family.
Yeah, this video just makes Palpatine look like a male Dolores umbridge. Who was pretty much BORN evil, or at least racist. Would you please care to further elaborate on sheev's abusive past with us? It would be very much appreciated if you did!😄👍
@@dhdusidjdjso Go ahead and twist his tragic backstory around all you want. But it’s made clear that, while he did emotional and mental problems, his father contributed a great deal to his ‘present’ state. And it’s NEVER stated that he was born evil.
I think I speak for everyone when I say hey Stu, open up the lore again. Give us more what ifs, theories, old republic, legend's Luke and his jedi order stuff. We need more variety again.
He seems to be one of the more 2 dimensional characters, in all honesty. A character with no weakness at all or soft side even when younger makes him more realistic or relatable to the readers.
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.
@@MegaJesseman Well you should see Hitler early life story before coming to power it was pretty tragic. He was abused by his father and his older brother ran and then his father abused him in place of him. His mother was already related to his husband. She was his 3rd wife. His father forced things on him. He fought war and was not able to become a artist. The war changed him completely. Before it he didn't hate jews
Giovanni L actually that would be very interesting, especially when Palpy said that the sith of the past live in him. And also the Rule of Two means there's only 2 sith that regenerate back and forth as they kill each other
@@greenbean2222 how if any character has been butchered it was palatine he legit was so overpowered for a couple mins then just died to rey by the most stupid way
Palpatine we all knew and loved, executed a master plan to overthrow the whole Jedi order and republic to come to power. One of the most powerful Sith lords of all time. Disney's Palpatine: can't handle a Mary Sue!
That Mary Sue as you call her(Rey) didn't beat palpatine bye herself she had every Jedi in existence in side her and have her the power too destroy palpatine
Emperor Vitiate was the most powerful, to answer the question in the end. He had a wealth of sith knowledge, as well as knowing sith magic and the ability to stay alive indefinitely. Sidious was merely a student of this lost knowledge, discovering fragments of knowledge here and there. But Vitiate held all the sith knowledge.
The book Darth Plagueis covers this. That is the best Star Wars book I’ve ever read. In episode 1 Darth Plagueis was still alive and well, using the Muun banking clans credits and influence to shape events that would lead to order 66 and rise of the empire.
At TROS Sidious says to Kylo that he had died before. Anakin says to Rey to bring again balance in the Force like he once did. So,Anakin did kill Sidious and brought balance to the Force for some time after ROTJ.
I believe that the force must require balence every various years and requires a chosen one to do so. Anakin was the first and Rey is the second and no doubt another will rise when the force requires balence again
@@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677 I don't think that's the case. Personally I don't like the Idea of Rey being a chosen one, but It's not a bad theory. There's nothing in the prophecy that says there's only one Chosen one forever.
I wonder to what extent young Palpatine studied or enjoyed music. As revealed in "Revenge of the Sith", the only redeeming feature I could ever find in Palpatine is that as emperor of the galaxy, he did support the arts. He built the Galactic Opera House and apparently enjoyed music and his box at the opera.
Maybe one reason ist that his son could not use the force. I don't know wether he could but if he couldn't Palpatine would have had a reason to kill him because he was disappointing. People often copy the behavior of their parents even if they think it's wrong
I wonder if he felt any love at all for the woman who gave birth to his son. Or was she just used to carry on the Palpatine name and legacy? I suspect the latter.
@@lindacartwright5100 his son may have been a young clone of himself, similar to the Jango and Boba Fett scenario but in Palpatines case his son was either non or minimally force sensitive or simply had a great dislike of his father
It's hard to say who's the strongest Sith would be. Sidious is certainly the most successful. He was able to complete the vision of Darth Bane as if it were his own.
Disney should do a one season show called Palpatine that covers his childhood, how he developed his connection to the Force and ultimately became a Sith.
It would be cool if Disney+ created a show about young Palpatine and his rise to power. The political rise of Palpatine could be similar to Frank Underwood in House of Cards, while the training under Plagueis could be like Bruce Wayne training with Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins.
Palpatine still used sheev in the early prequel era. He said that as his name to a young boy, Gallius Rax, if memory serves. On jakku when researching for his contingency plan. This was shown as a flashback in one of the aftermath books
This is pretty cool and dark. Can imagine everything.Movie about him would be awesome.Sidious is the most powerful Sith ever.No doubt.It was his destiny. He was born to become a Sith,and the Emperor. May the Force be with you too
PALPATINE, something about it sounds best! He was much more than a Sith. He was a mastermind. The Phantom Menace. Took out all the Jedi, right under their noses too. Vader threw him overboard, and he still came back. Can’t help it, I like the guy!
I think it's incredibly satisfying that directly after watching Episode III, I suggested that Palpatine was the apprentice who killed his Sith Master (Darth Plagueis The Wise). And so many people online disagreed with me and criticized my perception. And now we know that I was 100% correct.
It would have been good if we had more imagery from Palpatine's youth rather than repeated scenes from the Star Wars prequel films, to accompany the detailed narration. Also - it is not explained why Palpatine's features changed so much following the fight with Mace Windu and the other Jedi Knights.
If so many sith lords finally fell to the dark side by their family being killed or killing their family, maybe the jedi had a point by teling jedi not to have a family in the first place
The biggest question is actually how he managed to not be found by the jedi at a very young age. For Anakin this makes sense, he lived on Tatooine, a rather remote place. Palpatine was from Naboo, part of the republic with senators and all the rest. As we know, the blood of all young children in the republic is collected and tested, how tf did he fall through that?
We know that he had interest in things of the Sith AND he is a very deceiving man. He probably used his father's blood or some other things to dodge the Jedi recruiting and was able to hide behind his shadow in the force so nobody knew he had force.
Palpatine is probably the second most powerful ever, since he mastered sith sorcery and various other highly advanced powers as well as bring their plan to ultimate success, however we have no record of him doing things on the she scale of his main competition for best sith and we have no idea if he even knew how to force drain an entire world. Vitiate has to be first, the guy spent more than a thousand years dominating half the Galaxy and was only truly defeated when the extremely unlikely alliance of Jedi and his own sith underlings happened.
If they ever turned the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise into a movie, I would make the perfect Sheev Palpatine. I have the height, the personality and the look to pull it off effortlessly. Not to mention I nail the Sidious voice
I wouldn't mind a film based on a younger Sheev Palpatine or a Disney+ t.v series. We could see all the back story about him growing up, dislike for his family, rising up the political ranks & meeting Plagueis & turning to the dark side then killing his master.
Since the Rose of Skywalker my interest is reduced. I can't help picture him as the male Mary Sue. He would have been as OP as Rey from day 1 by Disney logic. Which is just dumb.
I see how everyone saying how they want a Palpatine spin off movie about his origin and while that would be pretty cool we have to remember that by the end of the day Palpatine did had a spin off movie. It called "The whole Damm franchise".
Who was the guy that padme dated?She talks about him in attack of the clones to Anakin. You'll notice there isn't a wookiepedia entry about him. What if he is palpatine?
@Leewilldofine Pedro. P. Palpatine. p. That's about as much as anyone ever had with a Rey theory. they better have this in the high republic movies or I'll throw a fit!
It's hard to say who was the strongest Sith because of the Rule of 2. It would never allow multiple Sith to exist in their prime alongside each other. So who was the best fighter among them? How would Palpatine rate up against those others? It's hard to say; he did fight Yoda to a standstill, so that is something. You can make the argument that Palpatine achieved the most, and being unable to be sensed by force users made this possible for him to hide in plain sight. He nearly killed the entire Jedi Order through his manipulation and backdoor dealings, and I don't recall any of the other Sith greats ever getting that close, primarily single handily. So who is the best, probably him. But if you put all the best Sith in a room to have them fight it out. How would he compare in that situation? He would most likely not win but he would go down first. See, it's Weird-the Best but only kind of.
Again, great video. Just one thing though. Can you please place in the title what is canon or legends? Sometimes it's difficult to know in your video's.
Not exactly the story I recall from the Plagueis novel. He seemed far more hesitant and humanized as a child, and not so eager to kill his parents, although Plagueis ended up using that as leverage against him. Was some of the source from comics...?
That’s just the Palpatine “fanboys” trying to twist the story around. They feel like it somehow diminishes him as a villain if he’s humanized and not “pure evil” from the start. I deal with them all the time and their dumb leaps in logic.
@@grimlord3181 Ian has confirmed on multiple occasions that Palpatine cares about Anakin, therefore he doesn’t view him as pure evil. “There is a moment-just one moment,” McDiarmid remembers, “It’s after Anakin’s been almost destroyed and he’s got little life in him. Palpatine has sent for a medical team and he’s waiting for them to arrive-and he just gently touches Anakin’s forehead. Sidious doesn’t have any qualities we normally associate with humanity, except he does have a master-servant relationship with Anakin. Anakin means something to him.” The Making of Star Wars: Episode III- The Revenge of the Sith J.W. Rinzler

The book Darth Plagueis covers this. That is the best Star Wars book I’ve ever read. In episode 1 Darth Plagueis was still alive and well, using the Muun banking clans credits and influence to shape events that would lead to order 66 and rise of the empire.
They needed Anakin in Rise of Skywalker, otherwise Palpatine's return made Anakin's sacrifice worth nothing
He was in the movie.
At TROS Sidious says to Kylo that he had died before.
Anakin says to Rey to bring again balance in the Force like he once did. So,Anakin did kill Sidious and brought balance to the Force for some time after ROTJ.
I believe that the force must require balence every various years and requires a chosen one to do so. Anakin was the first and Rey is the second and no doubt another will rise when the force requires balence again
Exactly. Balance; Powerful Light and Powerful Darkness.(Luke)
Darkness rises and Light to meet it.(Snoke)
@@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677 I don't think that's the case. Personally I don't like the Idea of Rey being a chosen one, but It's not a bad theory. There's nothing in the prophecy that says there's only one Chosen one forever.
I wonder to what extent young Palpatine studied or enjoyed music. As revealed in "Revenge of the Sith", the only redeeming feature I could ever find in Palpatine is that as emperor of the galaxy, he did support the arts. He built the Galactic Opera House and apparently enjoyed music and his box at the opera.
This makes it even less surprising he had Rey's parents killed. He hated the idea of family at that point.
Maybe one reason ist that his son could not use the force. I don't know wether he could but if he couldn't Palpatine would have had a reason to kill him because he was disappointing. People often copy the behavior of their parents even if they think it's wrong
Family, an love for them, is a weakness, an a distraction from a Sith's ultimate goal.
What I wanna know is how he even had a son in the first place. Who did he get with
I wonder if he felt any love at all for the woman who gave birth to his son. Or was she just used to carry on the Palpatine name and legacy? I suspect the latter.
@@lindacartwright5100 his son may have been a young clone of himself, similar to the Jango and Boba Fett scenario but in Palpatines case his son was either non or minimally force sensitive or simply had a great dislike of his father
It's hard to say who's the strongest Sith would be. Sidious is certainly the most successful. He was able to complete the vision of Darth Bane as if it were his own.
He was the only Sith to become a Dark Side nexus.
Darth Sidious is the most powerful. He wielded UN LI MI TED PO WAAAAAAHHH!
I'd love to see a movie focused on Palpatine's origins and early life. I just don't trust Disney with it😞
I trust the Andor directors with it
@@BinksTheSith I need to see Andor. Haven't had the chance yet.
Disney should do a one season show called Palpatine that covers his childhood, how he developed his connection to the Force and ultimately became a Sith.
Cool story. How was it that Plagues could feel "nothing" when looking for Palatine ? Could he have been so empty ? Fascinating story.
I'll hear your voice saying "Palpatine" in my nightmares... Great video btw, but my god... Palpatine...
It would be cool if Disney+ created a show about young Palpatine and his rise to power. The political rise of Palpatine could be similar to Frank Underwood in House of Cards, while the training under Plagueis could be like Bruce Wayne training with Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins.
Tom Hiddleston as a young palpatine be amazing
I clicked because I wanted to know why the 11th doctor was here.
so did i. fucking clickbait, dislike.
@@twisted_nether373 Matt Smith was meant to have filmed scenes for rise of Skywalker as a younger palpatine in flashbacks but it was scrapped sadly
@@gavinhamilton4094 I couldn't believe that the first I was hearing of this was weeks after Ep IX came out so I had to search it, myself. Wow.
SAME. Matt Smith as Palpatine would have saved Rise of Skywalker.
Love this!! Palpatine is one of my favorite characters!! 🛡️🗡️
Palpatine still used sheev in the early prequel era. He said that as his name to a young boy, Gallius Rax, if memory serves. On jakku when researching for his contingency plan. This was shown as a flashback in one of the aftermath books
Take a shot every time he says Palpatine
This is pretty cool and dark. Can imagine everything.Movie about him would be awesome.Sidious is the most powerful Sith ever.No doubt.It was his destiny. He was born to become a Sith,and the Emperor. May the Force be with you too
Darth bane? "You mearly adopted the darkness, I was born into it, moulded by it"
Oh I get it, when mace windu rebounded the lightning, palpatine just regenerated.
The opposite
Palpatine is my hero.
GOOOOOOOOOD.
Take shot every time he says “palpatine”
This would be a great prequel movie. Palpatine story when he was a youth.
YES!!!!!! Yes Star Wars DARTH SIDIOUS or PALPATINE. Which one you like ?
PALPATINE, something about it sounds best! He was much more than a Sith. He was a mastermind. The Phantom Menace. Took out all the Jedi, right under their noses too. Vader threw him overboard, and he still came back. Can’t help it, I like the guy!
I recommend just read the book
James Luceno is a genius :)
Mikołaj Pyka What book is this info in?
MrDishboy09 the Plagueis book
the Emperor, by far my fave villain
I wouldn't mind a Star Wars prequel film being made about a young Palpatine first meeting Darth Plagueis and eventually becoming a Sith.
I think it would work better as a Disney Plus series
I wish his “shadow in the force” was touched on in more main stream Star Wars canon to help explain why none of the Jedi could sense him
I don't know why or how, and I'd never thought I'd ever agree with this, but Matt Smith would actually be really great as a young Palpatine.
03:10 big chungus cameo
I think it's incredibly satisfying that directly after watching Episode III, I suggested that Palpatine was the apprentice who killed his Sith Master (Darth Plagueis The Wise). And so many people online disagreed with me and criticized my perception. And now we know that I was 100% correct.
Your mother must be so proud.
It would have been good if we had more imagery from Palpatine's youth rather than repeated scenes from the Star Wars prequel films, to accompany the detailed narration. Also - it is not explained why Palpatine's features changed so much following the fight with Mace Windu and the other Jedi Knights.
Palpatine a Star Wars Story
I agree a palpatine movie would be great to see his life as young boy to dark lord of the sith
@@csw1013 how bout a series about that
What if Sheev Palpatine gets a Disney+ TV series of his own? Maybe set before The Phantom Menace.
Palpatine thinks he's better than everyone ? HA i challenge him to a Mortal Kombat 11 Match.
Assassin Kapkan careful, he’ll kick your ass with raiden
A broken home is the key to all these guys.
If so many sith lords finally fell to the dark side by their family being killed or killing their family, maybe the jedi had a point by teling jedi not to have a family in the first place
Man an origin film of Sideous past would be amazing!
The biggest question is actually how he managed to not be found by the jedi at a very young age. For Anakin this makes sense, he lived on Tatooine, a rather remote place. Palpatine was from Naboo, part of the republic with senators and all the rest. As we know, the blood of all young children in the republic is collected and tested, how tf did he fall through that?
my guess would have to be that he was a shadow in the force and thats why but other than that no clue
We know that he had interest in things of the Sith AND he is a very deceiving man. He probably used his father's blood or some other things to dodge the Jedi recruiting and was able to hide behind his shadow in the force so nobody knew he had force.
Plot hole
The thumbnail tho...Imagine a Palpatine origin story with Matt Smith.....OH BOY I can see it!!! lmao
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who assumed the good ol’ 11th Doctor as Palps
Palp is savage. Love it
8:57 "win a force fx lightsaber" what's that about?
*WE NEED A PALPATINE SERIES*
Was Palpatine born force-sensitive or did he learn how to use the force?
Momin stands out because he was able to physically resurrect himself thousands of years after his death.
Palpatine is probably the second most powerful ever, since he mastered sith sorcery and various other highly advanced powers as well as bring their plan to ultimate success, however we have no record of him doing things on the she scale of his main competition for best sith and we have no idea if he even knew how to force drain an entire world. Vitiate has to be first, the guy spent more than a thousand years dominating half the Galaxy and was only truly defeated when the extremely unlikely alliance of Jedi and his own sith underlings happened.

If they ever turned the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise into a movie, I would make the perfect Sheev Palpatine. I have the height, the personality and the look to pull it off effortlessly. Not to mention I nail the Sidious voice
Maybe if you had more self confidence...
Got to fill that 10 minute mark.
that blue tinted thumbnail with Matt Smith makes me feel like he'd look great as thrawn.
sheev, was smarter and better at everything than anyone else , I guess rey really is his grand daguther afterall
LOL
I wouldn't mind a film based on a younger Sheev Palpatine or a Disney+ t.v series.
We could see all the back story about him growing up, dislike for his family, rising up the political ranks & meeting Plagueis &
turning to the dark side then killing his master.
Who here was disappointed that Darth plagues wasn't snoke? would of made the movie so much better ugh
Snoke is a Wil in my opinion look it up
This story arc would actually make a good series
Since the Rose of Skywalker my interest is reduced. I can't help picture him as the male Mary Sue. He would have been as OP as Rey from day 1 by Disney logic. Which is just dumb.
I see how everyone saying how they want a Palpatine spin off movie about his origin and while that would be pretty cool we have to remember that by the end of the day Palpatine did had a spin off movie.
It called "The whole Damm franchise".
Who was the guy that padme dated?She talks about him in attack of the clones to Anakin. You'll notice there isn't a wookiepedia entry about him. What if he is palpatine?
@Leewilldofine Pedro. P. Palpatine.
p. That's about as much as anyone ever had with a Rey theory. they better have this in the high republic movies or I'll throw a fit!
Yes. Palpatine would be a great movie or TV series
matt smith would’ve been excellent as young palatine, he was actually pretty sinister in terminator genesis and he could get quite dark in dr who
Palpatine here. Nice video 👌🏼
Hasn't everyone done this video like 10 times already.
NotMy Name. Yep
The thumbnail is the ultimate Star Wars and Terminator crossover.
I thought I saw Gordan Ramsay in the thumbnail
The *FULL STORY* … proceeds to say he will explore this event at another time lol
Here’s a huge plot hole: How didn’t Yoda or Luke know who Rae was and not sense she was a Palpatine???
They did? Leia did at least so why wouldnt they?
It's hard to say who was the strongest Sith because of the Rule of 2. It would never allow multiple Sith to exist in their prime alongside each other. So who was the best fighter among them? How would Palpatine rate up against those others? It's hard to say; he did fight Yoda to a standstill, so that is something. You can make the argument that Palpatine achieved the most, and being unable to be sensed by force users made this possible for him to hide in plain sight. He nearly killed the entire Jedi Order through his manipulation and backdoor dealings, and I don't recall any of the other Sith greats ever getting that close, primarily single handily. So who is the best, probably him. But if you put all the best Sith in a room to have them fight it out. How would he compare in that situation? He would most likely not win but he would go down first. See, it's Weird-the Best but only kind of.
Again, great video. Just one thing though. Can you please place in the title what is canon or legends? Sometimes it's difficult to know in your video's.
A series covering Palpatines life and ending as he takes a young Maul to be his apprentice would be good
Not exactly the story I recall from the Plagueis novel. He seemed far more hesitant and humanized as a child, and not so eager to kill his parents, although Plagueis ended up using that as leverage against him. Was some of the source from comics...?
That’s just the Palpatine “fanboys” trying to twist the story around. They feel like it somehow diminishes him as a villain if he’s humanized and not “pure evil” from the start. I deal with them all the time and their dumb leaps in logic.
@@sarahcook2818 A take that Ian McDiarmid has supported.
@@grimlord3181 Ian has confirmed on multiple occasions that Palpatine cares about Anakin, therefore he doesn’t view him as pure evil. “There is a moment-just one moment,” McDiarmid remembers, “It’s after Anakin’s been almost destroyed and he’s got little life in him. Palpatine has sent for a medical team and he’s waiting for them to arrive-and he just gently touches Anakin’s forehead. Sidious doesn’t have any qualities we normally associate with humanity, except he does have a master-servant relationship with Anakin. Anakin means something to him.”
