    If you guys want to read the book this video is based on, then you should definitely check out "Lords of the Sith". Its one of my favorite Star Wars books, and in my personal top 3 within the new Canon books (behind Lost Stars and Thrawn).

      IS0T0P3_90 From memory, Palpatine didn't actually sleep in the traditional sense for that reason. He was too paranoid. He used some sort of meditative state that allowed him to gain restfulness but retain awareness of his surroundings.

      Ever wonder how he got so good at combat? Him and plagueis used to visit some remote hostile planet and fight the natives just to practice their abilities. It was a sith tradition to visit this planet when the rule of two was put in place. So yes, quite literally his days off were to kill random people and things lol.

    What a conundrum the guard ended up in. On one side, he knows the person he is guarding doesn't need him at all, so he can relax. On the other side, the person he is guarding can kill him with a thought so he can't relax.

      Jethro Marwick I actually disagree. Not everything needs to be shown on film. It’s actually a really smart idea to keep these stories for the expanded universe. I know people don’t want to read a book about a movie, but in this case I feel like it’s a good idea, there are too many stories to tell for the series to be movies only.

      The guards: Wait, what? We trained our whole lives in the most prestigious branch of the military to rub lotion on some old man's back?
      Palpatine: Hey! My back is very wrinkly! It requires weekly applications of lotion to maintain the skin integrity! Also, I have UNLIMITED POWER!!! (Shoots lightning everywhere)

      Wolfgod 64 in the canon thrawn novel, (and I may have painted the wrong picture in my mind - as this was a book and not as clear as a movie or tv show) but I felt like palpatine was just sitting on a throne in the ground floor of the “imperial palace” (which is pretty open, not open to the public, but open as in like, massive open entrance ways kind of stuff, man my vocabulary is awful today ahah) but yeah, the part where thrawn and Eli go to meet palpatine, I felt like he wasn’t all that hidden away, like If someone was looking into a telescope from a 7-11, (errr.. or an admiral snackbar?) across the street from the palace, they’d be able to see him sitting there. Of course, I may have pictured that scene all wrong, I also might not even be remembering it right, maybe they weren’t even at the imperial palace in that scene.

      because Sidious did not wan't to reveal his identity to anyone. The only people who Palpatine allowed to know he was a sith were Vader, his imperial guards and in legends a handfull of others. In some dangerous situations Palpatine wanted people to come out alive, if he revealed his powers everyone present had to die. Also the Guards were sent on missions for palpatine which required highly trained individuals, missions which were important but not worth the time of Palpatine or Vader. Also they're part of Palpatine's public image.
