If Palpatine where in an R Rated movie I can guarantee you that we would quickly find out that he has done *MUCH* worse things than we saw on screen.
Palpatine's entire life would pretty much be the Eclipse scene from Berserk except that he does it every day, and on a galactic level. He truly is the most *evil* villain in all of cinema.
yup
He also turned Guts into his slave,and make him commit crimes.
His most evil act was how he showed up "somehow."
Naw. That evil belongs to another...
Disney.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 keep crying
@@brianstrutter1501Disney boot licker
Basically, his most evil act is breaking the laws of nature by cheating his own death.
The dark side is a pathway to scriptwriting many consider unnatural
we need a palpatine origin movie that ends with him Killing off Darth Plagius, his master
Based on the Darth Plagueis novel.
Made by competent writers. If Disney makes it they would change him to a black female
@@redred1952 Derp.
@@redred1952u slow asl. Anything Disney makes is trash. I wouldn't watch it. I know it's trash. They don't care.
young Sidious looks like Loki from MCU and Penniwise from IT.
People come to Star Wars from a Dragon Ball Z mindset. Where they compare characters solely from a power level perspective. But Star Wars is far different than that. What makes certain characters the most powerful is their mentality, their knowledge, their willingness to do whatever needs to be done.
Palpatine is by far the most strongest sith that ever lived. He accumulated every piece of knowledge passed down from sith and he monopolized on that information, becoming a far greater sith than ever seen before. He sacrificed the majority of his life orchestrating a GALACTIC war on both sides only to eventually lead up to the darkest night ever seen in star wars, where 95% of Jedi were killed. He created an unjust empire that lasted for 20 years, which people don't realize how actually impressive that is.
Counter point
Obi-Wan: "What's his midiclorine count?"
Qui-Gon: "It's OVER *YODAAAAAAAAA'S!"*
- *SMASH* -
It's a good point, however lots of the more powerful knowledge of the baneite sith was destroyed by Darth Gravid. However some were later redescovered, such as essence transfer, it does at least create the possibility of a more powerful lord prior to him via the force, however I do agree that no other sith lord was as impressive in political power.
I wouldn't say that he is the most powerfull but certainly among the most powerfull.
Nah Vitiate is the most powerful. Sidious is probably in the top 10 though.
Palpatine did not acquire every piece of Sith knowledge because he never acquired Plagueis' knowledge, not to mention the countless techniques that were used by the ancient Sith.
You can add raising Maul to the list. Even after being disillusioned by the Sith, his upbringing by Sidious ensured that he could never have anything other than a menace to the galaxy. Think about it: he could have gotten revenge against his master by spilling the beans on Order 66, but his hatred of the Jedi was too deeply ingrained that he would never do that no matter how much he hated his former master. Not to mention, when being a Sith did not pan out for him, he just became a crime lord because violence and intimidation is all he really knows and his only purpose in life at that point was to find a means to enact revenge on the likes of Sidious and Kenobi.
Palpatine would've killed Maul if he thought Maul would spill the beans, so, in a way, Maul neve could spill the beans
I have to admit the writing for the character Palpatine is brilliantly done
His origin story is pretty weak. He's just a spoiled rich boy. Nothing deep and traumatic like what Anakin went through
@@KryptonianChaos1That tends to breed evil narcissists more than most upbringings yknow? Perfectly fitting.
@@mrct592 I guess, it's just not that epic though. Virtually every Sith we've seen has had a traumatic upbringing and it's made them all the more interesting. I think it would have been cooler if Palpatine was like Lex Luthor and killed his drunk and abusive parents, only to forge a galaxy that he sees fit. All the while thinking he's the hero. I never felt anything when I read his parts in the Plagueis novel
@@KryptonianChaos1I like it the way it is even more. He is evil. No reason just evil
@@dterm8526 You're the reason Disney Star Wars gets away with being surface level. Jk jk
Palpatine: I'm way worse than you realize. Watch the video to find how much worse.
While I cackle at your disgust
Well, you certainly write stupid comments. More annoying than evil though. Like you’re 11 years old instead of a Sith Lord.
Do it!
Palpatine: I'm way worse than you think. I pour my cereal after I pour my milk.
@@chrissaccary524 I mean, the janitors need some kind of mess to clean.
this is why i consider Palpatine to be Darkest of all of Sith Lords for all of his sins.
George wrote Poppa Palpatine way worse than the devil. The devil started out as an angel, then fell from grace to become evil. Palpatine was for the pit from the start.
At first Palpatine is just an ambitious kid about to begin studying political science.
@@u.v.s.5583An evil ambitious kid yea
Darth sidiuos one of the greatest villains in movie history
not one of. THE greatest. he has no competition.
Had my GF watch all the star wars movie last week and she absolutely hated every time sidious appeared on screen. She especially wanted to punch him when he was talking to luke 😂
He is so good at manipulation that he could easily bed your GF even as a old decrepit man lol 😂
The question is, did you watch them in chronological order or release order? And did you watch 6 moves, 9 movies, 11 movies, or 12 movies in total?
@@hamstermc7807 That is the ultimate question isn’t it?! She watched Episode 7-9 with me in theaters on release day. That was her first exposure to Star Wars that’s why she didn’t like them. I wanted to rewatch the series so we watched it in release order 4-6, then 1-3. I think it’s the best order to appreciate the franchise and now my gf is a fan 😆
@@saintgilla4404 I’m glad to hear it! Always nice to see a new Star Wars fan be created. And yeah, I’d agree that release order has the most merit for a first time viewer, but chronological does have its own benefits in general. And episodes 1-6 (as well as the absolute banger that is Clone Wars 2003, thank the Force for Gennedy Tartakovsky) seem to definitely be the best way to hook someone in. I recently introduced a friend to the franchise who hadn’t seen any Star Wars before, but was planning on joining another friend of mine’s next ttrpg campaign, which happened to be SW5e - so what we did was, a couple months ago the GM and I sat down and marathoned all 6 movies in release order with him. Since then, on his own, he’s watched all of The Clone Wars, Bad Batch, and played Fallen Order, and who knows how much else. I think he likes Star Wars now 😇 and ttrpgs (as it also happens to be his first campaign)
Did you tell her to let the hate flow through her, and that her journey towards the dark side would be complete?
If not for Galen Erso's betrayal, the Emperor would have won.
That was in the Canon continuity...
Palpatine's downfall is different in Legends continuity...
@jaquariusrodgers7299 Galen Erso is the father of the main protagonist in the _Rogue One_ movie. He was the engineer who intentionally designed the Death Star where someone could blow it up by shooting an explosive into the thermal exhaust port.
I always remember in the novelization of Star Wars movies.
Luke was overwhelmed by the power that he radiated, the evil. But he had complete and utter control of it.
He is evil for the sake of being evil. He is my favorite villain of all time.
He is only evil for the sake of acquiring UNLIMITED POWER... so he can have... peace.
I still say Plagueis was the ultimate Sith Master, and his apprentice learned everything from him. With this in mind, why would anyone believe he was killed by a man who had already lied his way to the top?
In the end, he still effed up a thousand years of work.
Sidious was a monster even in the Order of the Sith as other Dark Lord have other more positive traits some the Sith could be admire outside to the public, but Sidious had no positive traits for him had no ounce of empathy for anyone.
There have been worse than him. Way way worse.
The only Star Wars villain who comes close to matching Sidious' atrocities is Onimi, the Yuuzan Vong Court Jester...
The Yuuzan Vong did some things that Sidious wish he could do...
@@Dee15gon Vitiate and Nihilus.
Nihilus ?
@@maxxdahl6062 Vitiate is above Sidious...
Nihilus comes close too Sidious...
But in terms of massive body count...
Onimi makes all of them look tame...
Palpatin is one of the greatest villain in cinema history.
There are a few of the early years of Sieve Palatine that were left out . When he was younger he would put the blue mike container that was empty back in the refrigeration unit without telling any one. He often would leave and empty roll instead of replacing the toilet paper in the bathroom and leave the top off the toothpaste tube after squeezing it from the middle with the force. He was not a very nice guy at all.
Stupendous just to confirm are we getting that Ulic Qel Droma Bio and Power Scaling video in the same way you did Count Dooku, Satele Shan, and Arcann in previous videos sometime next month?

Could you possibly do a video on the new high republic and the Jedi known as The Blade ? Been waiting to get my hands on a issue of this book and pretty sure he is one of the jedi from light of the jedi. Thought it would be a interesting new subject. Love your content and work. Thank you for all u do.
I have a theory that palpatine might not have been a member of the Sith. The idea of classifying someone as “Sith” means that they follow a specific set of guidelines like how not all light side force users are considered Jedi. This is why the ancient sith seem so different to Palpatine. The “sith” classification would mean very little when it comes to how powerful he is. His power is due to the fact that not only is he extremely talented in the force but he takes joy in the actions that strengthen one’s connection to the dark side. He isn’t acting in certain ways to gain power like a sith would following sith teachings, he is just acting as he sees fit. It’s like Dooku said “you wear the trapping of the sith, you fight like the sith. But this can be imitated, however.” Only in this it’s not that he has fear like Ventress, but he lacked the true traditions that make a sith. This could also by a reason why the Jedi council overlooked just how evil he was because they were looking for a blanite sith which he wasn’t. Sith wasn’t a way of life for sidious it was just a title.
You make a solid point, but I feel Palpatine wouldn't take on a title if it meant such little to him - he uses the title with pride, e.g "ONCE MORE, THE SITH WILL RULE THE GALAXY!" and "NOTHING WILL STOP THE RETURN OF THE SITH!!"
I feel the massacre of the twi'lek rustics on Ryloth deserved special mention as well.
Dude orders Vader to kill a village of people who took them in and sheltered them from the planets harsh conditions just to teach Vader a "lesson".
Basically Vader showed a scrap of humanity and Palpatine punished him for it. Pure evil...
Sidious, Darkseid, Morgoth:- the trinity of absolute evil
Another TH-camr named The Vile Eye did a fantastic breakdown of Palpatine.
Yeah I saw it. It's pretty good
I love your videos
Thank you for sharing this video. Darth sidious is my all time favorite character in Star Wars. To leave both sides of the war corrupt the Jedi from being able to properly use the Force was amazing. Everything that Darth Sidious did from the beginning of him becoming a Sith and even killing his own Master was one of the crazy the way he did it. I could go on but I want.
Palpatine is easily and simply EVIL
He's also a plain creepy ass old man. "DEEEEEEEW EEEET!"
Id love to see a series about the most dangerous viruses on your Chanel. The Ratgoul virus, the techno virus, and the black wing virus.
Amazing video
Shame you don't mention other weapons Sidious approved such as the Sun Crusher and Galaxy Gun. Also, in Legends Sidious relocated Alderan survivors to Byss where he drained their life force for Sith experiments along with turning wounded pilots into his Shadow Droids.
i think this is only canon
@@wolfdotzip4053 Also, wasnät the Sun Chrusher an older weapon from the Rakata empire?
@@raggarbergman no it is not
@@raggarbergman bro you know they went extinct like 4000 years ago right?
@@raggarbergman it was made by a group in the empire that helped make the death star prototype known as the maw installation
Master manipulator. Brilliant levels of cunning and patience. Next levels of evil. One of the best written villains in media
When it comes to villainy, Sidious is the GOAT. He was inspired from our conception of the devil. This is why he's my favorite villain, he's evil incarnate.
Is Palputine Even Worse than Lord Frieza In Morality!??!!
Yes
given the chance, he was in the DBZ, he would be worse than Frieza while being in character. Palpatine is the type of Sith would strive all of the abilities of all of the characters because Palpatine's ego is that big
Is Palpatine even worse than Mr Freeze in Batman & Robin!??!!
@@jw_gojifan19 Wait how would he Be Worse than Frieza is Frieza Just Like Palputine also Evil and Sadistic and Loves Being Evil while Being a Sociopath or Pychopath?
Whats the background music called during the explanation
Tom Hiddleston as a young Palpatine would be interesting. One of those drawings looks exactly like him after a dark side turn 😂
When i saw this video i thought you meant worse as in weaker and i was like "nahh, that cant be right"
Darth Sidious/ Emperor Palpatine is absolutely the perfect villain for a franchise.
Yes, but he should have died when Vader threw him down the shaft instead of coming back in Tha Rise of Skywalker.
@@tureytayno3154I don’t even pay attention to the sequels. They ain’t canon for me!!! Palpatine’s return was way better handled in the Dark Empire comic series in the Expanded Universe.
Thank you for finally showing the glory of our beloved Emperor .
It is extremely refreshing to see someone like you to finally acknowledging the superiority of Lord Sidious .
😂😂😂😂.
What about the droid attack on the wookies?
You left out a few things. One of my favorites was orchestrating a way to shut down the oxygen production on all of couriscant: thus being able to hold the entire world hostage should the rebels try to invade.
Also this is my headcanon but I think he probably offered refugees from Alderaan a new home on Byss, only to use them in his dark side experiments.
Palpatine co-finding the Inquisitors should of made this list, how messed up is it to have the people you tried to kill en masse, tortured into obedience and forced to hunt their former allies under the threat of death.
And at the same time making Darth Bane roll around in his grave.
This is why Palpatine is my absolute favorite villain (and character in general) across every one of my series I love.
Oh and I also go to shake hands with Ian at a comic con, which of course I was deeply excited for.
Who was a better Jedi overall anakin or dooku
In legends during his final death a jedi saw into his soul and said he wasnt like what he seemed and that he was full of fear and sadness.
He was still evil but legends gives a bit more context to it
Where can we look that up?
Also, in the Plagueis novel he still has some humanity/empathy when Plagueis orders him to kill his friend (I forget his name).
Vader tier list soon?
Good to hear Death Troopers get a mention.
What I find most amazing about Palpatine is that it never occurred to him that attempting to kill Luke would result in getting himself killed.
or like in TROS, he should have been more careful using the lightning since it backfired on him so many times.
He was so arragant and fixed on destroying Luke slowly because he refused to take out Vader and turning that it gave Anakin the one and only opportunity to make a move while he was distracted which was perfect timing.Remember when Palatine told Vader that Luke's compassion for Anakin will be his undoing"?Well Palpatine's compassion for Luke to suffer was his undoing.lol.Lucas did an amazing job with the Palpatine character!
@@chrismagnum06
His anger and hatred of someone with such power, wasting it, is what Palpatine wanted to torture him for.
He also believed that Anakin was long gone by then.
The recent comics, have told some really good stories, about Sidious testing, then tearing down, and building Vader back up.
The entire writing that Palpatine made the armor to have a weakness to electricity is lazy.
Vader not fixing that, is just stupid.
The best way I’ve heard it explained, is that once Anakin was back, all the things fueling the dark side in him were gone, and even with his helmet, or a new suit, he wouldn’t survive, as any semblance of Anakin, was neatly completely gone. So, along with damage from Luke, then Palpatine, just him turning finished himself off.
There was also no special teaching, to be a force ghost, back then, so Anakin just shows up, as if any Jedi could, if Luke needed to speak with them.
It’s been the writing of others, that has filled in these gaps, but Lucas has never read, or used them to write his stories.
@CorbCorbin I agree that simply making Vaders suit vulnerable to lighting and Vader not fixing it for 20+ years is lazy writing. I mean, using the physical pain to enhance his rage is one thing...but not protecting the suit against or discovering specific weaknesses in 20+ years while living in it is totally another.
Anakin/Vader was a "tinkerer." If he had the time to modify his lightsaber and his tie fighter, I would think he could've modified his suit.
@@CorbCorbin Lets think of another piece of lazy writing: Yoda NEVER telling Luke about Palpatine's favorite Force Technique......Force Lightning......oh also never throw your lightsaber away in front of your enemy.
Would be cool if they made an R rated Sidious origin movie.
What is the music in begining?
you nailed it. after having gone through and learning all about narcs , and knowing the emporor, he is literally the pieak epitome of narcissims and phcyotpath. and that indeed IS pretty much teh devil
You should’ve talked about Maul. He essentially kidnapped this young child, only to torture him, abuse him, turn him into a murderous animal and quickly abandoned him when he failed. Maul went insane, killed countless people, and died a sad and unsatisfactory death; Palpatine created a monster, just like with Vader and Dooku, but Maul had it the worst as a child compared to them. Maul is evil, and he definitely deserves his downfall for what he did, but Sidious created that monster and Maul was forever tormented by what was done to him. That is truly sickening and evil.
Yikes
2:32 Perfect description of how Vader got a Soviet- style suit.
4:38 Anakin gave Nute "Emperors peace". ;)
Oohhhh was this video made with administration to Emperor Palpatine I’m blushing 🧎♂️I believe Ian McDiarmid would love this video as well 😊
Yoooo how's it going? I ask cause even content creators are people that could use some checking in on. Keep making amazing content and living your life!
Next, make videos about the evil acts committed by the jedi order like, the genocide of the sith race, extermination of shape shifting species and the secret prison facility during the clone wars where they imprisoned and tortured dark side users and asscoiates of the seperatists.
I previously posted on this, however since then have come to think about Emperor Vitiate for the Old Sith Empire. He ruled for a very long time. I also came across a previously unknown Sith Power. It appears that Vitiate had a power that allowed him to actually allowed him to prevent any force users from actually using the force. He just cast a lightning attack and this actually pulled any ability for a Jedi or Sith attacking him from using any force abilities at all. They were forever denied the use of the force. This could have been a fan fiction story, so I don't know if it is Cannon or Legends. Does anyone have any thoughts? I of course am Team Palpatine.
Emperor Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious was more evil than the Dark side itself 😰😱. (I say this because because in the Mortis arc of The Clone Wars, the Son who was literally the Dark side of the Force personified, while his actions were not excusable, he showed moments of sadness and pain. His sister, the Daughter who represented/was the personification of the Light side of the Force, when she stepped in to save the Father who represented the Balance of the Force, and he ended up murdering her instead, he was horrified at what he had just done and cried out "why" in agonized rage 🥺. When he came to her tomb to take the Dagger 🗡 , he touched her face and said "It's ironic sister, you were the only one I _truly loved"_ tearfully 🥺. And when the Father chose to take his own life to take the Son's power and finally restore balance, the Son pleaded for his father to not die 😢🥺😣😔. It's making me teary-eyed just thinking about it 🥺😣😔.)
Disney making a palpatine origins story with plagueis, Tom Hiddleston cast as palpatine, is the best thing they could do to remedy things. That show and/or movie would be unreal if done correctly
If this is becoming a series, then Comp Palpatine defo deserves to be on this list.
-He drained a populated world of life (Byss)
-Orchestrated multiple massacres which killed probably trillions I’d say
-Murdered his family brutally
-Orchestrated the fall of the Republic over many years and created an Empire that transformed the galaxy into a place full of injustice and discrimination
-Created ISB, which is brutal in legends.
The guy is just brutal.
Does the chair loo- nevermind.
Did you hear abou Sauron? I'm not even gonna talk about Melkor..
What about Gargamel?
So is it just me or could there be a Star Wars survival horror game surrounding the black wings virus
I always wondered what an encounter between sidious and Darkseid would be like? What if... Sidious had the Omega beams? Or what if sidious had five of the six infinity stones? Obvious stone he wouldn't be able to collect is the soul stone. But sidious is that one villain that truly has unlimited power. Because he's always learning. If sidious was in the MCU or DC universe he would become more powerful than even his legends counterpart. He would learn the magic of scarlet witch or Raven or even Dr Fate/Dr strange. He would essentially be like Dr Doom.
He would be very OP
I mean, the man talks at the theatre. 'Nuff said.
Naive me: “What else has he done?”
Me after the video: “Oh.”
“Sidious issued CAD BANE TO ABDUCT FORCE SENSITIVE CHILDREN…”????
Freudian slip of sorts. Cad Bane as the the apprentice of Sidious is a pretty wild thought. (ah…bounty hunter)
There are four traits in the dark tetragram now, they updated it to include Sadism.
Wow… nicely played. He let the death star blow up to fuel the empire’s growth.
I have a portrait of Palpatine in my office with a brass plate that says, ' "Do it." All of my best, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine '
Thought It was legends that vader suit was made with flaws and new cannon he was happy with it or maybe I am wrong? Most people argue "well why make him like grievous" grievous cybernetics were designed to replace as he had no connection to the force it didn't matter but vaders was designed to preserve his frail body to keep his Midi-chlorian count high.
Even Griffith would be disgusted
From what has been said here why not put Palatine into death battle against DC'S Darkseid the dark side of the force, taking on the many forms of Darkseid, force lightning vs Omega Beams anti life equation, with the Justice League and the rebellion watching the battle from far away via satellite.
Palpatine’s creation of the planet killers (from Death Star to Final Order Fleet) really speaks to his evil nature. There is very little strategic value to obliterating an entire planet. Even just killing off the indigenous life (though equally evil) would be less of a waste of resources than erasing the planet from existence. And that also doesn’t account for potential changes to the entire system because of the destruction of said planet.
Even when only firing one reactor, the Death Star was an obscenely high collateral weapon. In fact, it may as well be guaranteed collateral. So yeah, anyone who has it in their mind to make one of these has something very wrong with them.
Still love the vong analysis on palpatine
So how many years would you give him?
What would a wookie do for making the deathstar that a robot cant
Anakin: I will free all slaves.
Anakin enslaves whole galaxy..
Can you make similar video about emperor vitiate
Yes
#1 - He was a politician
Great now i need to see tom hiddleston as a young sheev palpatine. Thanks for that lol.
In Siddious's own mind, his actions are not evil but are necessary and are even justified in the name of bringing order to the Galaxy. This makes him one of the most despicable characters in Star Wars and perhaps in movie history.
Yes
Only like every villain to have ever existed lol
- Sheev, Hego Damask is evil!
- From my point of view you all shall die.
@1:43 sheev looks like tom hiddleston here
We all know it was really Jar Jar Binks that was pulling the strings the entire time!
Probably my favorite episode hands down
"Hey-- wanna see me tempt fate? Could this day get any worse? I did it ironically, so I think I'm safe." --Sheev Palpatine
Thank goodness this was about Palpatine and not The Senate.
I was wondering if being the galactic leader would be such a bad thing... But I suppose I figured things like consent and benevolence. This guy was absolutely evil
Random thought: What are anybody’s thoughts if they made live adaptations of the canon Darth Vader Comics?
How about the destruction of Alderaan?
Shev Palpatine in a nutshell, cartoonishly evil.
He had a pretty good sense of humour and a flair for the dramatic. Those are redeeming qualities in my book😂😂😂
I am afraid that you will find my sarcastic lines quite entertaining, and your chuckling about them will make your eventual demise from the full power of dark side somewhat easier.
This video is sponsored by emperor palpatine to his apprentice
Tom Hiddleson should do the role of young Sidious in the future.
As a dead space enjoyer, I agree. Palpatine doing a dead space was truly vile
Watching the clone wars finale, how every character and all thier fights were for nothing, made me realize how evil Palpy is.
I still love him though.
He’s no Mao
The creation of the Death star as the "most evil," thing Palpatine did? Meh…I think there's a lot of arguments to be made that other things on the list were FAR worse, and are also more appropriate for the title "evil."
Firstly I don't think you can really label an action as evil in of itself, it's the motivation behind it. It's not the "what," it's the "why." Most people will agree that there's a vast difference between someone killing another person in self defense or a soldier killing an enemy soldier on a battlefield and someone who gets his rocks off by slipping into open windows at night and strangled someone in their bed.
And when you think about it, the Death Star isn't all that different from the nuclear stockpile countries like the US; Russia and China have. Last I heard we had enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire planet 3 times over (albeit this was in the 80s and they supposedly were reducing the amount we have). The only real difference between the Death Star and Thermonuclear bombs is one of degree, no pun intended. The Empire can wipe out a planet in less than a half hour (a guess), while it would take hours or maybe a few days for a couple countries to do it to us. There's also the fact that the Death Star will cause the entire planet to explode in a complete, albeit visually unconvincing way (honestly, it looked like an M80 blowing up a mailbox). Nuclear would still at least leave a dead sphere of glass and ash behind.
I think that the experimentation on the infants to be a pretty clear leader for "evil." Even if they had been successful, so what? Then they'll have a bunch of really good spies, assassins and saboteurs to add to the already absurdly overpowered military? Huzzah!🙄. It comes across to me as something that was done more out of a callous curiosity than for any real sizable benefit.
