When I watched Return of the Jedi as a kid, Palpatine and his advisors were all so gaunt looking, I thought they belonged to some weird alien race, like there was an entire planet of Palpatine look alikes.
Nah, that just what bureaucrats look like.
Raxelleon it’s why Rick doesn’t respect them
@Hayden Rhead Once upon a time, people came to realize it was in poor taste to make jabs at others' race, gender, etc. Someday, the same will be said for tasteless comments about certain age groups.
Me too, I bet that was the original intent. They all seemed very deathly. It's interesting that Sly Moore from the prequels looks very similar...albeit different eyes, so she's probably technically from another race, not sure.
I had a similar kind of thinking when I watched by the first time, hehe.
2:34 “He sacrificed himself, believing his death would help bring Palpatine back to life. It would appear that he was incorrect.”
*Well yes but actually no*
lol I love seeing this stuff pop up again years later
“It would appear he was incorrect.”
Well, actually...
I just realised that and now I'm getting more and more interested in who the acolyte were and what there plan was to save Palpatine.
@@chesscrush You act as if the writers themselves had any idea.
I can always trust Star Wars explained to have the answers to the questions I haven't thought to ask
and star wars theory and stupendous wave
both of those guys are great, but lets face it, the top 3 are Mr Wave, Explained, and Theory
joethahobo mr wave is eh and Theory would be there if he didn't use stupid voices

The council of silly hats
They simply could have said Snoke was an advisor to Palpatine and was trained to take over if Palpatine dies.
@@mitchellhayward6492 That idea is so much better than what we got!
@@mitchellhayward6492 I like that idea too. But instead we got a stupid story where Snoke was literally an artificial puppet. After Episode 7, I was thinking "I can't wait to see what Snoke's lightsaber fighting style is like." But nope.
Okay back up your point/show evidence
@@mitchellhayward6492that’s basically what happened he was an construct (strandcast) but he was still his man
@@danielyeshethat’s literally what we got but some differences of what we got
The picture of them in the Hanger makes me feel like they are gonna drop the biggest mixtape of all time
……I like it🙃
"In Legends he was force sensitive." Of course he was.
Disney is trying to make them more Realistic.
dexter jettster was force sensitive in legends, he was also snoke.
One guy out of the whole council. No it doesn't make any sense that a Sith Lord could possibly have a single dark side adept as an advisor /s. Not to mention that force sensitives still pales in comparison with the number of people in the universe.
Skippy the droid was force sensitive in legends.
Skippy never was canon in EU.
Definitely do the rest of the Legends advisers down the line. Who doesn't love hearing about the rich lore of creepy old dudes with dumb hats?
Watch out Red Leader you got one on your tail!
I've always had a fascination with the Emperor's Advisors and the Imperial Ruling council like the Grand Vizier, i'm intrigued by the mystery that surrounds them. :-P
redleader antilles The inquisitors are canon young people with dumb hats
Because they know that they can be as weird as possible and if anybody makes fun of them then they can execute them
redleader antilles, I love that description of them! very, very accurate, in fact, I'm glad those guys died on the death star just so I didn't have to look at them any more
I can't take them seriously with that silly headgear.
They look like Religious Zealots,no offense to anyone reading this. lol
LOL! Their outfits are based off of Catholic bishops according to what I have heard.
The hats.... no one where's hats like that
I calculate an 83.48% chance that the hats will cause them problems in combat scenarios.
They'd stick out like a sore thumb and make quite the bullseye.
0:24 Album cover material
Straight Outta Coruscant.
Right as he said it, that’s the title.
Palpatine's people- The senate (Music video)
D.W.A (Dignitariez Wit Attitude)
The Emperor and his subordinates
- Obey the Empire II
At least one of these "creepy old guys in silly hats" should be a court jester to bring some much needed mirth to the Emperor's throne room. Just imagine Palpatine chastising Vader for some recent failure or disappointment. Then, as soon as Vader leaves the room or the holographic transmission ends, the jester makes some wickedly funny remark or joke at Vader's expense, and Palpatine and his advisors all bust up laughing.
Imagine a sitcom based around the Senate and his friends as they thy to live their lives as they rule the empire.
"It would appear he was incorrect."
Oops.
When I first saw them I thought they were other force users who served Palpatine. I'm quite fond of the idea that even though there are only two sith, the upper echelons of the empire was formed from a secret cult of dark side users.
Agreed
I remember these guys being referred to as “Imperial Dignitaries,” not “Advisors.” So, it was inferred that they were just some nondescript important guys from the Empire that came to visit and see how things were going.
You are correct, I had the purple guy action figure and that was his name on the package: "Imperial Dignitary"
Okay back up your point/show evidence
ruling council or the silly hat club
What's the ruling council? Palpatine just put a sign up sheet for Silly Hat club, and a buch of old guys with nothing to do joined.
In the original "Return of the Jedi" novel, it mentions that Darth Vader privately regarded these guys as "filth." Apart from the Emperor's arrival, there is only one scene in which Vader is seen with the advisors in the Emperor's throne room. Possibly there is an implied "rivalry in the ranks" in which the writers could have exploited, but didn't. It could have made a good story though.
They have funny hats, and it shall be all I remember them for.
Are you sure those are men? They look like the members of Palpatine's bingo club
Okay, the fact you mentioned how silly the legends ones are, just makes me want to see that video....
Mas Amedda was the Grand Viser and was the leader of the empire for a short time after the Emperor's death, so he is probably the most powerful adviser, he also chaired the Imperial Ruling Council
Do a video covering Prune Face! When the face is a Prune the action goes boom!
Orrimaarko.
2:34
JJ Abrams: Oh I don't think so
I always believed they were evil emperors of their own galaxy in this enormous universe
I always thought they were the regional governors who managed the different parts of the galaxy after the Senate was disbanded.
+Last Man Films
Nope. The regional governors would be someone like Grand Moff Tarkin (Governor of the Outer Rim) and Arihnda Pryce (Governor of the Lothal Sector).
Last Man Films the governor's took orders from the Grand Moffs,Tarkin got the goods on all the other Moffs so he was their boss answerable only to the emperor .Darth Vader didn't like that.
Those were the Moth admirals I believe for example tarkin controlled the outer rim territory's
Iooioioioioi
Dude, there's always interest for more videos. Although I'm more interested in canon material these days, your Legends videos are always fun to watch and the comparison videos are very helpful in understanding the main changes and, more especially, what is very similar between canon and legends. Cheers
I've just found your channel and its awesome! Subbed!
Hello Star Wars explained, I have a question for you. When you watch the prequels you'll see a lot of ships flying in lines across above the surface of Coruscant. But what makes them fly in those straight lines? Why isn't everybody flying as reckless as Anakin in the beginning of Episode II? Love your video's!!
For the same reason that most drivers drive in straight line
Indiana Solo I believe it's for the same reasons why we don't drive everywhere in real life. Remember that the surface of Corusant was filled with huge skyscrapers, and you shouldn't drive your speeder or whatever into a building.
Omega but If you look at these scene in the Phantom Menace, where Quiz Gonn en Obi talk you'll only see the sunset, they fly above the scrapers...
Indiana Solo I like to think that most cars drove by themselves so there were sensor all over he planet
According to the canon book Everything you Need to know About Star Wars, most speeders are automatic.
Why is it when watching this in my mind I can hear “ Rich Evans” laughing in the background.
I like their styles in the fiction. It gives a sense that Palpatine isn’t the only one that looks like a raisin or that he’s old with wrinkles. A group of old men that have hidden identities, but with that look that they only focus on themselves and the Emperor.
that picture at 0.23 looks like a hip-hop album cover
0:22 ME AND THE BOYS LMAO
Why would you want to wear those hats?
2:33 JJ: Hold my script
1:12 He looks a bit like Director Krennic.
When RTOJ first came out, Lucas said they were all part of The Sith. Back before Lucas changed the story, The Sith was just a mysterious shadow group, not necessarily people who had Force ability.
Woah. Do you remember where you saw this?
W/sequels I'd hoped the Knights of Ren would be running around, all a bunch of dark force users. But they turned out to be more of an entourage for Kylo who were killed off and did nothing with them
True but that’s all of what happened back then so it doesn’t count since that’s just behind the scenes stuff
@@wankertanker1813just commenting on the last part of this comment.
So what if Verge is Snoke? Saw the rise and fall of the Empire, disfigured himself, worshipper of the dark side.
“Throw in bunch of old looking dudes so the Emperor looks like some kind of ruler...”. Then afterward we will fill in all the gaps and make up shit to keep the nerds happy.... (Not that I’m cynical!)
In a recent interview ROTJ costume designer Nilo Rodis Jamero said he thought since the Emperor was like the Pope he should arrive with Cardinals so he drew some art for characters which were not in the script. Lucas saw them and asked who they were and Jamero said they're like the Emperor's Cardinals. Lucas went "The what? Do we even have the budget for that?!" Jamero lied and said they did so they went in the movie.
Simple, they gave him foot rubs and back massages.
Mayor Quimby that too
LMAO
With a happy ending no doubt ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
No wonder they always look pissed. lol
Politically speaking, that was exactly their job.
0:21 they look like they’re posing for an album cover.
But what about the guy with the REALLY TALL HAT at 0:23? :)
Thats ki adi mundis cousin
Sim Aloo could have been the perfect main villian for the sequel trilogy....now a more powerful sith lord. They could have easily said that in ROTJ , Palpatine ordered him off the 2nd death star as a precaution in case things went south in the final confrontation in the throne room. Sim Aloo would go into hiding in the outskirts of the galaxy....continue his Sith training.....via Darth Sidious force ghost and become powerful enough to rule the under world and take his own shot against the new republic
He or Mass Ameda could be the perfects villans for the sequels.
I don’t know palpatine wouldn’t want that at all unless sim aloo could’ve been powerful but palpatine wouldn’t want someone like him since that Durant really make sense unless you have better evidence then this
@@marioignacioloyola6304explain how mass ameda would work as the main villain?
Nobody ever mentions the greatest and the wisest of all the Imperial Dignitaries...a man from Sullust who always wore plaid lumberjack shirts...his name is "Gree Do Shotfirst".
These guys always intrigued me. It was always my hypothesis that their costumes were taken from earlier concept art for Palpatine, but I've yet to see any confirmation of this.
Wait a momment. Wasn't Sate Pestage also helping Palpatine with some things before Palps became senator and such? Like Plaguise introduced Sate to him and such, didn't he?
when your grandpa makes friends in the senior home
is that a deleted scene in the begining/thumbnail of the video?
TheCrazySullustan yes it is
You are in error, my friend.
No i never saw that in the movie or is that deleted in the special edition? (Its a long time since i saw the non special edition movies)
It was meant for 'Juri'.
It's in the movie. I believe the screenshot was taken right after Darth Vader left the scene.
One is probably Snoke ,the Sith couldn't do what they did it with only 2 people.With only 2 the Sith probably had a just in case both get killed contingency.That was apparently used after the death of Darth Bane.
Boy were your speculation ended up such disappointment
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul lmaooo
In that group shot of them it looks like they are about to drop that Fiyah Hip Hop album!
Janus,sate and the third advisor in the end with a golden necklace is kinman doriana all of em mentioned richly in the novel Darth Plagueis
2:34 “sacrificed himself” is an odd way to describe being pushed to his death.
0:22 it's like an music album waiting to happen.
I want to see a legends video on this too
0:21 guy on the right is clearly dissatisfied with his assigned hat. Guy on the left knows his hat matches his potency.
0:23 They look like they are on a album cover. What genre i wonder......
Space rap space thugs in harmony lol
One of these guys is Snoke, I'm certain of it.
If Kylo Ren is obsessed with becoming Darth Vader, and one of these guys is obsessed with becoming Palpatine...COINCIDENCE?!
EXACTLY!
Hell yeah
Maybe the last guy, Verge, is Snoke. The reason I'm saying that is because apparently he tried to disfigure himself to make him look more like Palpatine. It's possible.
I am sadly sorry to disappoint you, even if this would be a great thing.
Kren Blista-Vanee's son Vanee wanted his dad to use his connections to get him a cushy job within the Empire. He was told it was as an aide to some Lord. Vanee thought "Aide to some pampered bureaucrat! This will be a cakewalk!"
Little did he know...
Great coverage that expands on what was just blokes in the background when younger. It's great that there is expansion upon them elsewhere
@ 3:35 NOTICE ME PALPATINE-SEMPAI!!! Sorry couldn't resist XP
Who's wants to work for me?
That depends. How much does it pay to work for a dead former galactic emperor?
K-2SO I might be dead, but my influence isn't.
Admiral Johnsen You're a traitor Admiral Johnsen. I hope none of my "loyal" officers get their hands on you.
Palpatine Darth Sidious: I will follow you to Hell if needed my Master.
Ron Kelley Thank you Ron Kelley. But I got a "special" on Jakku for the Rebel scums.
I would be greatly interested in the Imperial Advisors from Legends, all 43 of them,and Vaders place among them being the Imperial Advisors were second to the Emperor in power. Like how did Vader place among them,could the Advisors boss Vader around as Tarkin did in Episode IV and Tagge did in the Comics placed after Episode IV. Those are just some of my questions about the roles of the Imperial Advisors.
Thanks for the background. I've been watching an old film with someone who looks much like Sim Aloo and was curious if there was a connection (there isn't, but it was still interesting.)
actually sate pestage way an adviser to palpatine even before the birth of the empire. in plagueis its shown how he is elemental in several cases of securing palpatines rise to high chancelor...
Y'all gotta dive into the old school Star Wars Legends content at some point. Before the prequels came out, Palpatine had an entire cult following known as the "Prophets of the Dark Side" and it was something akin to a religious order of dark side practitioners and "believers". This was before the prequels and before the Sith were fleshed out. Priests would regularly join imperial forces to influence commanders in following orders specifically set out by Palpatine (anyone who has played Tie Fighter knows). The Prophets of the Dark Side not only consisted of Palpatine's advisors but also many dark Jedi such as Jerec from Dark Forces 2.
As I know in canon, Mas Amedda was the Grand Vizier and the leader of the advisors.
In a way but he’s talking about the ones on the Death Star
We were just talking about Sim Aloo on the Star Wars Speculation subreddit!
0:24 Me and the Boys about to go chill with our homie palp
When did the Galaxy adopt the BBY/ABY Year System? Is it even used In-Universe?
3:24 The ruling council of planet Oompa Loompa
You: It would appear it did not.
Palpatine: or did it? Muhahahahaha!
You: it did not.
Palpatine: awwwwww
Soon as you said "wacky" you drew my interest!
1:15
The only one that legit terrifies me.
What made the original trilogy so great was subtle scenes with characters that we don't know alot about. Same with the bounty hunters. They don't overdue it.
Sort of agree to disagree
wasn’t Mas Amedda the Grand Vizier? He ran the empire after Sidious was killed...though no one paid him attention
Pestage was a collaborator of plaguies and palpatine during the darth plaguies novel
Sate Pestage and Janus Greejatus are both in the Plagueis Novel
I have to see those wacky ones, could you do a legends version of this
One is Perry Farrell from Janes Addiction
I appreciate how well done these videos are. I have been waiting to figure out who Sate Pestage was about.
Pestage was an assassin in the Plagueis novel or he hired assassins for Palpatine
They escaped the wicked witch only to die on the Death Star years earlier.
You read that correctly.
Wondering if Snoke was an advisor to Palpy?
Lol nope
0:23 Who is the guy with the penis hat? He looks like he was part of that future sequence of the Go God Go episode of South Park.
Fax
Since Palpy had "UNLIMITED POWAAAH", they were getting paid for nothing... I guess? Flatter his ego? Bring him coffee... batteries... power converters...
Is that Sebastian Shaw posing as Janus Greejatus. Kinda looks like him
I have a Sim Aloo figure, altough he was sold as an "Imperial Dignitary"
I forgot about the advisors, I only remembered about them when I replayed Star Wars Kinnect
Sate Pestage was also an assassin in the Plagueis Novel
Say what you want but I want that long hat. Thing looks legend.
I've always wondered this since I first watched episode VI!
Every one that worked for the Emperor where both walkie, and crazy not heads.
2:40 uh oh
That was a gangsta group shot right there
Vanee - Vaneé - Venris Hydan from Star Wars Rebels....
‘Who are all the Emperor’s advisers’? Actors
That doesn’t really make an good argument it’s an baseless claim it’s only because oh it’s Disney
can you do a video of what happened to cult the clone that rex met with when he go shot by a commando droid in stqr wars the clone wars tv show
He was at one point refered to as "Old Man Cut" shortly after the Battle of Endor, if I remember correctly. Still a farmer, presumably.
Wow I completely forgot about these guys. I haven’t watched ROTJ since I was like 7
when i first saw these guys as a kid they freaked me out, i thought the hats waas a part of their actual head and they all had massive heads, scared the crap outta me
lol
I wonder what Palpatine's advisors thought about Darth Vader. Palpatine openly tells Luke like Vader he will also serve Palpatine and call him master soon enough as he was talking about Vader like he was almost more of a pet while he was in the room. did Palpatine and his advisors ever laugh at Vader behind his back for fun? Emperor Palpatine seemed to enjoy torturing anyone verbally or physically so it wouldn't surprise me.
They have the most silly hats.
lol yeah
They're his mates! They come over for a few beers.
They looked creepy on the Death Star but they look silly when seen in full lighting
