The Non-Canon Expert explains an assassination plot against Emperor Palpatine that was attempted by those highest in the Imperial Order, including Grand Moffs, a Moff, a General, and Assassin. He also explains how this assassination was savagely put down by Palpatine within his own Throne Room on Coruscant.
This is a Legends story for Palpatine found within Issues #1-4 of the 2002-2003 comic entitled "Star Wars: Empire: Betrayal". I hope that you enjoy it! - บันเทิง

Hey everyone, I hope that you are all having a fantastic Holiday Season and Christmas Eve! Enjoy today’s video and thank you all so much for watching.
Thank you Merry sithmas my friend!
LOL
you as well, & thanks for the video
lol for hydration!
What is the name of the song that you use at the beginning of all of your star wars videos? I have heard it before, I just don't know the name of it.
Luckily, Palpatine just missed me with that Force Lightning.
Imperial Guard #28 yeah, someone needs to make his sandwiches
Oh yes!🥪
@@lordmaul9927
Darth sidious would kick your lord maul
madbear3512 he already has
"Luckily", you say? It seems you underestimate the control your Emperor has over his own power. Be wary not to let this... Let's be frank and call it a lack of confidence; though it is likely he already senses it, be wary not to let the Emperor see it. You may not survive the Emperor's disappointment.
Palpatine: "How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me."
Master...
Aidan Rickord
Oof, poor Maul. Lost his brother and everything.
Holy shit that was a good impression of Sheev you’ve got there Maul.
"You have become... A RIVAL!"
Aidan Rickord you’ve becomes a RIVAL
One does not simply catch the Senate off guard.
'cept Vader. But then again, he's the chosen one.
This party is over
@@acrux1918 Mace Windu during his duel with the sith lord used the force to discover Sidious shatterpoint, Anakin is Palpatine's shatterpoint his weakness and the only that could kill him. Eventually Sidious proved to be prepared for everything using the sith ritual know as transfer essense to cheat death, overcoming that weakness.
Catching him off-guards means jackshit when he can just revive himself and come back for more.
The Senate can’t just die.
“I love democracy so much, I’ve made the Senate eternal!”
10 years of planning and all he did was bring like 10 stormtroopers to fight palpatine and his guard with.
It would take a massive army to take on palpatine--did you see him just toy with maul/savage and kill 3 jedi masters in 5 seconds? And thats after decades without practice.
Wasn't it a hundred?
To be fair he had no idea he was Sith
It’s actually a decent plan ignoring that
@@ItsButterBean1020 You're right he didn't know he was a sith but his plot was discovered and if Palpatine had no sith powers he would have just had more royal guards who would easily wipe the floor with his batch of clones. Their plan wasn't even that great because even if they killed and took over anyone loyal to the emperor would come to kill them and fight the empire. They know who Vader is which means they know what they'll have to face afterwards. Their plan was even worse when you realize they already killed all their allies in the empire. They killed half their support in the empire trying to take it over.
I mean, if you're expecting a 70-something year old crippled politician instead of the most powerful Sith in history, it was a pretty good plan.
Palpatine needs more hydration, he still looks like a Korriban mummy.
he needs some lotion
The senate does not need such a thing
Well they shot his drink out of his hand once and he produced a big-ass force lightning 'cause he got so pissed. So maybe he was on it already.
He need some milk
He truly is always a step ahead
There is an awesome exchange between Vader and Palpatine at the end of this arc where Palpatine basically intimates to Vader that there is very little happening in the galaxy that he doesn't already know about. This plot certainly fell into that category. Thank you for watching Matt!
He wasn’t at Endor lmao
@@romeoramirez4980 he came back to life, he was ready.
vitor kennedy in legends
Matt Bergrström when you're fighting people like Palpatine and Vitiate/Valkorian they're always like 3 steps ahead of you and let you "beat" them once or twice just to show you how well planned and orchestrated everything they do is and how you could have never comprehended their order of magnitudes...
I believe the Emperor knew full well that this plot was happening. He just let it happen. All to make an example of those who survived. After all. It is kind of strange how they just turned on each other before they killed the Emperor. I mean I knew they would kill one another but to start doing that BEFORE they went through the plan? Yeah. The Emerpor knew full well and was twisting them indirectly through the Force.
It is a very Sith thing to do.
Sadly, I'd have to say it's a "human" thing to do. "Oh, but WHEN we win, he'll get the better part of the cake..." "But, if he died DURING the fight, there'd be more cake for me..." "But he'll be on high alert during the fight: I can arrange an accident a couple months before it, and handle it all myself with what he'd already prepared. It'll also keep him from murdering me one week before the fight."
This chain of thought, when we incorporate cold strategy, political allies and a will to kill to get one's way (pretty much every armed incident and coup would count) is likely to happen- both in fiction and real life.
@@bragnir Well, I know but any "sane" plotting person would rather plot AFTER or even DURING the little assassination. All to cause something to happen. After all. If they gun themselves down. They hurt themselves. That is my thinking. Though this group is ambitious as hell and all hated each other to some degree. So of course it was bound to happen. What happens when Lawful Evil works together. Someone gets stabbed in the back. In some legal fashion.
Given he can read the mind of people like Vader and Luke yeah safe to say he easily saw this coming
You're correct, Palpatine is amused by the ignorance of these conspirators, they think they can usurp his throne
nah if he knew he didn't touch at all he welcomed any threat because he was so bored after winning everything
You forgot to mention that while the fight was happening the emperor was pour a drinking until someone shot the glass he was carrying which cause him to unleash UNLIMITED POOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Really?
There a other video on that some other major star wars TH-camr did
@@lorecore6434
Yeah that's it. Better more details video then this not to say this video sucks or anything
He actually slightly mentions it at the end
@@mark2851 I guess I didn't pay that much attention
Palpatine: **Enjoys his glass of wine**
Random Stormtrooper: **Accidentally shoots glass of wine with blaster**
Palpatine: **[Visibly Triggered]**
Palpatine: *Enjoys his glass of wine*
Random Stormtrooper: *Accidentally shoots glass of wine with blaster*
Palpatine:*sighs then calmly puts the remainder of the glass down * "It's treason then "
*powerful Force Scream intensifies*
"If i keep killing people, EVENTUALLY i will get the assassin!"
Love the channel...one minor correction to the comic: palpatine only got angry when his drink was shot out of his hand..THEN he blasts them with lightning
Perhaps we have all these conspirators to thank for Palpatine's fall. Maybe after so many failed attempts at killing him, he became overconfident. His overconfidence in his abilities and the loyalty of Vader saw him dead.
Shane Ashby I mean sure the entire imperial government fell apart because he died but I mean he’s a Sith Lord that will kill his members just for fun and mostly rules out of fear as if anyone disobeys him they’ll die. Doesn’t seem so good plus the empire was pretty xenophobic
@@DrGreen-ze2sk even though it was Vader who killed more imperials than him. And the Imperial higher ups did more ruling than Palpatine as the emperor spent more time on his own projects than ruling.
@@DrGreen-ze2sk Pathetically xenophobic at that, there fear structure of government is damaging to human mental health. Along with there restriction of rights and freedom which is also highly anti human despite the fact there where suppose to be pro human.
He saw it coming parsecs away courtesy of the Force. Such a power not understood by conspirators, unaware they are giving themselves away through an insensible power just by the very act of plotting.
Loved this story. Star Wars EU comic books are the best.
Trey Stephens At least we have the Mandolorian and Star Wars the Clone Wars.
And are canon to me, always will be.
Except for the fact that the Stormtroopers look so damn stupid!
Really liked Trachta and his little scheme.
I really liked Trachta as well. I enjoyed how the arc ended with Moff Kadir, but I would've liked to see Trachta in the endgame of the plot too. Hope you're having a great day IO!
After reading this comic I actually wondered had Trachta lived would he have succeeded? He was shown to be somewhat close to Palpatine.
6:25 -- I like how there is one guy looking back at him and pointing towards the door...lol... "'Bruh.! It's this way, over here.!.. Hey!. Bruh!.."'
When you are the senate, you are also the department of electrical services.
For me, the saddest thing about this is that Trachta could have waited a year and seized control then.
This is why Palpatine conceals his true power. If it was widely known that he was a super powerful Sith lord, people plotting to assassinate him would not march into his throne room to confront him, instead they would barrage his palace from orbit with heavy turbolasers, dialed up to thermonuclear yields. But by concealing his power, and presenting the image of a frail and broken old man, he draws his enemies in, and then destroys them with the full power of the Dark Side.
I'd like to think Palpatine knew every step and used the force to turn all of them against one another. Also. You used my quote from the other day. SQUEALING UNCONTROLLABLY!
I didn't even consider that PD, that is actually a really interesting take on the "betrayal" here!
@@starwarsreadingclub Well it just seems like all of them turned on one another out of nowhere and were whittled down until it was the final two guys and using the dark side of The Force to get someone else to do your dirty work for you seems to me, would be something a Sith would do.
Ain't no catching the emperor off guard oh well. Have a happy Christmas man and if not for me.........for badly plotted plans against someone who has the force
Thank you very much JP, you as well. And absolutely, it'll take more than a few Grand Moffs and Moffs to remove Palpatine. :)
Vader did ;)
Except if you throw him in a hole
@@truepatrician4700 And take Vader in the grave while falling
So in other words, Operation Valkyrie.
If hitler wasn't a rebel, yes.
* walks in and sees this , turns around* NOPE
"Florida man stops street fight by running everyone over" this video title has that energy
palpatine: sees a huge ammount of traitorous storm troopers
also palpatine: this is where the fun begins
Only Palpatine could casually pour a glass of wine while an assassination attempt on his life is failing right before his eyes. This must be his version of when women have their "me" night and watch a lifetime movie while getting stupid drunk off wine.
My god, Palpatine is a badass.
just as Star Wars Theory has shown a few days ago, yes. lol.
Rey is stronger! She beat palpatine.
@@asomeprod6163 well but disney is stupid
Crick Crack
You’re just saying that because you hate women!
@@asomeprod6163 yes i hate women, but that doesn't change that Disney is stupid
i would have like too see moff tracta in a live action tv series he looks truly wicked and ruthless looking
TRipleX them cybernetics were sick dude. There's also a comic they just made based off of the Legends version that has the bounty hunter Valem hunt down Vader and shit. Art is not that bad but I'm one of those O.G. Comic lads so 👌
Do not mess with the Senate!!
Hello there!
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
You are trying to outsmart a man that secretly orchestrated an entire galactic war, overthrew the government, manipulated the potentially strongest force user in the galaxy, runs a galactic wide empire and also happens to be the most powerful Sith Lord ever.
Chance of failure: 100%
Thank you for posting videos during the holidays. It’s appreciated by everyone!
This sounded like the space version of the movie ”Operation Valkyrie”
the music really goes well with this one. Its calm but allows your voice to be heard and moves up to the climax of the storie. Very good. For me this type of music goes good with someone telling the storie of a comic while the observer sees the comic panels. It some how deepens the storie. Carry on.
Fools! I have Unlimited Power!
It just sickens me to know that with great stories like this to pick from in the EU...Disney gave us the garbage they did. Utterly shameful.
Palpatine can apparantly take on an entire fleet with his lightning.
Always had a soft spot for Trachta. Shame we didn't see more of him.
Great video thank you Merry Christmas
Absolutely Excellent Video Man!
Star Wars meets Operation Valkyrie. This was actually a really interesting story.
watching this video for the past 4 years i might as well just leave a comment paying my respects to one of my favourite bedtime stories
I love these comics. Trachta is a great character, loved him in Ghost Prison too, loved that story overall. I really feel that in these smaller unconnected arcs, EU comics were at their best. Another one I liked that comes to mind is the one with Tarkin's son.
Did they ever catch the conspirator who fled?
The conspirator who fled is never seen or mentioned again in the EU. The comic run (Star Wars: Empire) doesn't mention his fate either.
With the EU cancelled, we may never know.
I say he went into hiding.
The conspirator was killed by one of his own.
This may well be my favorite Star Wars comic arc of all time.
"It's treason, then."
Heck, I’d do anything for hydration
One of your best videos
Amazing video
This sounds like Valkarie
Classic Palpatine.
Step 1. Wait for the assassins to ambush you in your office because they think you're defenseless.
Step 2: Kill them all in a single attack.
some random can't just kill old Sheev, it could only be his son... (thanks Disknee)
csehszlovakze *granddaughter
That was a shocking revelation
It's impossible kill Darth Sidious, his force vision can show him the future. The exception being his arrogance and inability to understand love and teamwork
If I had to meet Palpatine I'd wear rubber soled boots.
Holy good god calm down palpatine. Nice video
Palpatine had no chill on this one!
The title had me expecting the story to be Palpatine wiping out a platoon just to kill 1 traitor hiding in the midst, just to prove a point and flex his sadism.
"For hydration"
Thanks for reminding me to drink a glass of water.
Absolute Madlad
That was cool
You were right about one thing Master. The negotiations were short.
Awesome video once again my dude! Quick question: do you do Star Wars news as well? Just asking.
Thank you SWLN55, I appreciate that buddy. I cover the SW news when it is a large item that just can't be ignored, but I really should cover more of it. Hopefully 2019 will see an increase in that area. :)
@@starwarsreadingclub Okay thanks.
The last people who tried to overthrow palpatine were four Jedi Grandmasters of the Jedi Council. So, they had no chance here.
‘With control of the empire finally in their grasp or so they thought’
Yeah not surprising seeing as the clones have no blasters ready to shoot in case palpatine resisted
In referring to the shot where they enter the throne room
For hydration!!
When you’re late to class and palapatine is your PE teacher
And it's dodgeball day
Power!!!!!! Unlimited power!!!!!!!
Ohhh Palpy!
Palpatine was a saint! Why would anyone want to assassinate him. As a troll and a griefer I have much respect for Emperor Palpatine.
Hand Lightning in my hand Lightning in my hand Lightning in my hand😂
For hydration!
Don't Mess With The Sheev Savage
Officer Walk in: Papal...
Paplatine: *DEW IT, YEET*
"When his car runs out of gasoline... he buys a new car"
I remember reading the Finnish version of this as a kid. I think I still have it somewhere.
“Oh I am afraid that my lightning will be quite operational when your clones arrive”
Few can catch Palpatine off-guard.
Without context it looks like he reacted to an assassination by killing everyone. Not necessarily his own attempted assassination. But just an assassination.
Famous last words: "DAAAH!"
Assassins - We are here to kill you !!!!
Palpatine - No u
Hell yea
COOL
ty very much for the wonderful video expose ~ #forhydration lol
I swear Darth Sidious is the coolest character in Star wars
ugliest too..
Well that's one way to do it.
Unlimited power!!!!
No kill quite like overkill!
This is Canon for me!
For hydration
I mean, that’s one way to do it
Wait so what happened to the story where trachta fought with Vader in the ghost prison? Where an attempt was made on sidious’ life with toxic gas? Is that all legends now?
Charlotte Buchanan aww what?? I had no idea the Vader comics were legends. Damn :(
Huh.Sounds like me when I get a little paranoid
Second officer Dezsetes is ginger Arnold Schwarzenegger
I love the emperor; but I want to see him put in his place by another force user whose extremely stronger & smarter than sidious. I just want to see how much of the force remains unknown & the face would make when he comes across someone who can make him like a rag doll! I hope there would be a chapter in doing so
Palpatine: You can't be assassinated if everyone is dead.
Wow that way way way way Dark to see in a Star Wara movie.
Happy Holidays my friends!
MTFBWY
Sidious: “No one can assassinate you if they’re all dead 🧐”
Everyone?
EVERYONE!!!
