@Colonel Of the 82nd Airborne In name only. As even A New Hope makes clear, the Imperial Senate was a token formality, the illusion of representative government easily swept away when it was no longer convenient - when a generation had grown up knowing that the "democracy" was a farce, and Palpatine could stop pretending.
My favorite character in the series. However, I wish they gave him more depth. While people lust for power, I believe most people do have some ideology. Instead just for personal power, he could be actually fighting for the unity, security and prosperity of the galaxy. He was too much a bad guy in the movies unfortunately. Would be nice if he was kind of a mix of the 40K emperor and SW emperor. Kind of like Leto II in Dune.
Your grammar is really bad. Why did you insert the comma. It was unnecessary. The world would be much better if everyone had to pass grammar tests to stay alive. Our society would appear much more intelligent. This is truth.
Say what you will about the prequels, but Palpatine’s perfectly executed plot is genius. Playing both sides of the Separatist war to conjure devastating instability, then presenting himself as a heroic and trusted solution, security incarnate. Most of the galaxy gratefully laid down their freedom and independence.
@@Forge17 I also know a couple of victims, and i did not say it wasn't. I was comparing that the same way Palpatine (aka the senate) caused the separatist war despite the death and destruction it brought to the galaxy (because so the people would gladly take it as he strips them of their rights, because of "greater good") and then presented himself as the only solution, our government inflated numbers, took away civil liberties, killed the economy, shut down businesses, sent thousands into poverty, and etc, also for "the greater good". And it was so damn good, that people are still buying that BS today, when the consequences of such measures are happening right in front of them. Oh and don't even get me started on the money washing scheme behind the vaccines and all of their so called emergency resources to "fight the pandemic".
You can’t deny if your leader was an older man and this severely deformed by an assassination attempt and still held an emergency senate meeting to quickly and decisively quell a coup while at the same time ending a long war it would be pretty inspiring.
That's essentially what just happened. At this point, everyone knew the Republic was broken, so everyone looked towards strong leadership in these times of crisis, thus ushering in dictatorship. Pretty real shit
It would, unless he overthrew centuries of laws and government structure to name himself the sole law of the land. Then I would think that his attackers might have been trying to prevent this and save us all along.
I heard Palpatine was wearing a formal ceremonial Sith robe when he declared himself emperor, just to add an extra mockery to the Jedi. Jeez, Palpatine really is the master of trolling to the Jedi.

Good & evil only really meant things to force wielders, the Jedi and Sith saw the black and white nature/physics of the universe through the Light and Dark sides of the force. Normal everyday people didn't see the world like that and even often dismissed this viewpoint as myth or fairytale, same as their denial in the Force.
I do not want to offend darth vader but Palpatine is the best villain in cinematic history. His plan was flawless. He accomplished what he planned for years and received thunderous applause for it
@Socialist Sylveon Maybe. But if he's going to say Anakin was a loyalist then he'd need to explain how Anakin died. "Anakin saved me and then conveniently succumbed to injuries."?
@Socialist Sylveon lol! But falling into lava would raise so many more questions. Maybe just say he tripped and fell down one of those bottomless pits that seem to be so common? And on a totally unrelated note, introduce Darth Vader as your new assistant that you met at a cantina.
The way he builds intensity from "the attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed" to "the republic will be reorganized as the first galactic empire" ... true oratorical genius. not scary at all
Except she's the one who voted him in in the first place in Phantom Menace, she's part of this mess. Guess she didn't seen his true colors or something? Because voting out Valorum on the advice of the very person wanting to take his place is pretty sus from the get go if you think about it.
@@jenniferhiemstra5228 She was tricked like everyone but she at least tried to push the corrupt senate forward and one of the few politicians that actually cared about the galaxy and democracy, not the resources and money. The senate was corrupt and the jedi council too complacent and rigid The Empire was not the answer but something was gonna give The war wouldnt have happened if the Senate let the Seperatist leave peacefully but they decided they wanted control over their planets to keep exploiting them This is why majority of Seperatists were from the Mid and Outer Rims Naboo in episode 1 is a mid rim planet and even when asking or help and telling of the trade federation’s treachery and army, their lobbylist and the senate not only refused to help but didnt even put forth an investigation. The Jedi council even refused to budge except letting two Jedi intertwined handle it, not even sending a third party to investigate themselves.
@@jenniferhiemstra5228the grandmaster of the Jedi order, known for being very wise and at times can perceive what others can't, completely fails to detect Palpatine as a threat. Of course Padme didn't see his true colors, nobody fucking did. Valorum was a weak puppet, she needed someone that will actually do shit. Turns out, Palpatine did so much more shit than what she or anyone in the galaxy expected. Padme was not part of it, she was a victim, just like everyone else.
I mean if you want to mention the Robes keep in mind that Palpatine was known as a collector or fine art and ancient artifacts (heck he has a mural depicting one of the biggest Events in Legends in his office the Hyper space war) So him also having ancient Sith Robes really doesn't seam to out of place.

Me: *Es wird dann allerdings aber auch verhindern, daß das jüdische Volk unter der Maske eines biederen Weltbürgers alle anderen Völker innerlich zu zersetzen und dadurch zu beherrschen versucht!*
+matty9460 I'm honestly very conflicted on this. His Emperor voice seemed a bit over-acted compared to his performance in ROTJ, which seemed much more slimy and sinister. Maybe it was an intentional choice because this is supposed to be Palpatine 20 years younger? Or perhaps Ian's voice hasn't aged well and he couldn't quite pull off the same qualities of ROTJ. In any case, I found his emperor act to be... "too much" at times.
+EnDSchultz1 I think it was intentional. You can't sound slimy and sinister when you're trying to fake charisma to win votes. ROTJ was Palpatine being his true self. ROTS (holy shit I just realized the initials mirroring each other) was him acting like he was following the best interests of the Republic. Look at how he talks to Anakin when he turns. That's much closer to how the real Sidious sounds like.
so many good parts in the prequels so stop underrated these good movies please,they are not masterpieces but very good movies compared to the movies we have today.
For someone who is married to and impregnated by a Jedi, Padme doesn't seem to concerned about the whole "Jedi Rebellion" part that Palps just glossed over...
Messaprentis* When messa is followed by a word that begins with a vowel in gungan, the words are conjoined, sometimes changing the _a_ to another letter, such as with “messoffended by racial stereotypes.”
I can only imagine the sheer exhilaration and ecstasy of triumph Palpatine must have felt in that moment - decades of training under Plageuis and eventually deceiving and killing him to become the ruling Lord of the Sith, along with decades of living as a benevolent politician whilst orchestrating mind-boggling conspiracies and intergalactic war - all of that, and now he has finally achieved what the Sith have sought for millennia since the time of Bane, and eons further back since the original Schism in the Jedi Order that made the Sith from the Dark Jedi exiles....
And whats more, the people love it. THEY ADORE IT. The Glee that he has gotten billions of people to rally against the jedi. He's run a perfect god damn game for nearly 40 ish years and he's set to do a victory lap for another 20 as the emperor. It's probably taking all of his restraint to keep him from skipping around that podium clicking his heels. Everything has payed off. All the near misses all the perilous jobs. everything is done. There is nothing left to do for him to do but drive the future imperial senate into the ground so he can possess complete autonomy and focus on that immorality business. because that would arguably be easier than the bullshit he had pulled to get here... But then the death star happend....
George Lucas is clearly a student of history. Palpatine seems to be a well put together combination of Hitler, Stalin, Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus, Caligula and Diocletian. George also seems to have mirrored historical events when writing about Palpatines plans, for example, Order 66 is an obvious copy of the Night of the Long Knives. This is very effective, as it makes the events in an otherwise unrealistic fantasy land seem very plausible. The fans who criticised the prequels obviously knew Fuck all about the world around them to not see that
Well yeah, that's true. A lot of people didn't get it but Palpatine is obviously based on the socialists who rose to power through corruption & brutality, betraying their own people in the process in order to secure power for themselves. Hardcore leftists like Stalin, Hitler, Mao & Saddam Hussein all did it and Palpatine echoed their MO. Most people don't care though and they think leftism/socialism is a great idea, that socialists like Adolf Hitler were just misunderstood, heh.
@@Archedgar Hitler was not a Marxist socialist like Stalin or Mao. Also, Socialism alone is a term for a very wide range of ideologies. In fact, Hitler doesn’t even fit into that range, as he defined socialism as being something completely different to the established definitions
@@Jim54_ I agree that the staunch leftist Adolf Hitler was a socialist and that's why he rose to become the leader of the socialists. You are right about that.
Palpatine was the most cunning villain ever and the best manipulator ever. He stripped every citizen in the galaxy of their freedom, murdered the guardians of peace in justice in the Jedi and tore down the Old Republic for a totalitarian dictatorship and still got the entire room to clap and cheer for him. Most powerful Star Wars scene in my opinion and sums up how much of a boss Palpatine was.

Except for the ones who came before and their reign ended when their machines stopped working (due to their force batteries not getting ANY of that due to collective loss of connection to the Force) this is the only one that we see which stretches from Courescant to Tatooine, from Felucia to Mustafar, etc and so forth.
@@boxtank5288 The Rakata Empire, "Infinite Empire" covered the majority of the galaxy, similar to the Galactic Empire, but yeah I was reading the wookiepedia and there were much less "galactic" empires than I thought
Roswynn One of the best and most important lines in Star Wars, in my opinion. I hate when people disparage the prequels for dealing with politics and trade disputes and all that... without those, what is the point of a war at all? Additionally, I posit to you that this is the only way that liberty dies, when the tyranny is approved by the masses. If only the average viewer cared about allegory...
@@cloudwatcher608 Fuck yeah, totally agreed on that, if you see even just historical dictators 99% had been elected by popular vote with barely a struggle and with moltitudes of supporters ready to die for the cause (and I'm dodging the current situation of course, anyways). As for the prequels, I've never actually met fans disparaging them for the politics as much as for some stilted acting, some - wait ONE VERY STUPID CHARACTER and a couple other problems that are actually consistent with a cinematographical point of view, but I agree that if politics is the reason one doesn't like the prequels... tough shit buddy, it's all quite riveting stuff. Again, from a cinematographic view point, I think. It's got its reasons and it's well done, even superb at times. Padme's line is a fuckin' classic in my humble opinion. They used (and have always used actually) a cool escapist action franchise to pointedly comment on very real sociopolitical forces/movements that are not going away anytime soon, really. If that's not brilliant I don't know what to tell the disgruntled fans.
@@cloudwatcher608 The whole operatic plot arch was perfectly fine in concept, it just made for REALLY boring movies. There's a lot of nostalgia tied up in these movies for me too but you gotta take a step back and realize they're just badly written and directed.
@@roswynn5484 The main issue is that the scripts were slapped together by George Lucas without much outside input or criticism. He wrote the script like it was a book, and tried to translate it to screen without really understanding how story-telling in movies works. The result is a story that's epic on paper and in concept, but just really boring to actually watch.
@@dancegod1691 Okay, yeah, I can get behind that. I agree they can often be boring, sometimes the writing is mediocre and the directing isn't much better. In particular I find the plots a bit convoluted sometimes, and the character of Anakin most of the time has very badly written dialogue, with Hayden Christensen doing a half-hearted job.
Just look at real world politics, people act like political parties are sports teams. Or look how people react to people who don't want to be vaccinated.
I was thinking, if palpatine were to actually run in the real world most likely he would be republican, and it's kind of fitting you say feeling patriotic for the empire, because he is convinced everyone that he's the most patriotic and that he's fighting for everyone, when in turn he's the one that is causing and bringing about fascism and dictatorship rule. which is kind of along the ideology of what modern day Republicans would like to have, a Dominionist theocratic fascist society, all while believing that they are the most patriotic.

Faisal Husein well they are politicians so they’re probably weak minded haha
Good & evil only really meant things to force wielders, the Jedi and Sith saw the black and white nature/physics of the universe through the Light and Dark sides of the force. Normal everyday people didn't see the world like that and even often dismissed this viewpoint as myth or fairytale, same as their denial in the Force.
As far fetched and unbelievable this megalomaniac speech sounds like, real life has shown us this situation happened throughout history once and again
I do not want to offend darth vader but Palpatine is the best villain in cinematic history. His plan was flawless. He accomplished what he planned for years and received thunderous applause for it
Most beautifully, he only really used force to prevent cheating on the Jedi side.
Pure personal victory against improbable odds.

I'm curious about how Palpatine would have explained surviving an attack by multiple Jedi.
'I had the high ground'
@Socialist Sylveon Maybe. But if he's going to say Anakin was a loyalist then he'd need to explain how Anakin died. "Anakin saved me and then conveniently succumbed to injuries."?
@Socialist Sylveon lol! But falling into lava would raise so many more questions. Maybe just say he tripped and fell down one of those bottomless pits that seem to be so common? And on a totally unrelated note, introduce Darth Vader as your new assistant that you met at a cantina.

@@jenniferhiemstra5228 She was tricked like everyone but she at least tried to push the corrupt senate forward and one of the few politicians that actually cared about the galaxy and democracy, not the resources and money.
The senate was corrupt and the jedi council too complacent and rigid
The Empire was not the answer but something was gonna give
The war wouldnt have happened if the Senate let the Seperatist leave peacefully but they decided they wanted control over their planets to keep exploiting them
This is why majority of Seperatists were from the Mid and Outer Rims
Naboo in episode 1 is a mid rim planet and even when asking or help and telling of the trade federation’s treachery and army, their lobbylist and the senate not only refused to help but didnt even put forth an investigation.
The Jedi council even refused to budge except letting two Jedi intertwined handle it, not even sending a third party to investigate themselves.
And soon padmes life would go down the drain
@@jenniferhiemstra5228the grandmaster of the Jedi order, known for being very wise and at times can perceive what others can't, completely fails to detect Palpatine as a threat. Of course Padme didn't see his true colors, nobody fucking did. Valorum was a weak puppet, she needed someone that will actually do shit. Turns out, Palpatine did so much more shit than what she or anyone in the galaxy expected. Padme was not part of it, she was a victim, just like everyone else.

Ian mcdiarmid's acting is by far the best part of the prequels
+matty9460 I'm honestly very conflicted on this. His Emperor voice seemed a bit over-acted compared to his performance in ROTJ, which seemed much more slimy and sinister. Maybe it was an intentional choice because this is supposed to be Palpatine 20 years younger? Or perhaps Ian's voice hasn't aged well and he couldn't quite pull off the same qualities of ROTJ. In any case, I found his emperor act to be... "too much" at times.
+EnDSchultz1 I think it was intentional. You can't sound slimy and sinister when you're trying to fake charisma to win votes. ROTJ was Palpatine being his true self. ROTS (holy shit I just realized the initials mirroring each other) was him acting like he was following the best interests of the Republic. Look at how he talks to Anakin when he turns. That's much closer to how the real Sidious sounds like.
so many good parts in the prequels so stop underrated these good movies please,they are not masterpieces but very good movies compared to the movies we have today.

How dare you cut it off before Padme’s iconic line!
I can only imagine the sheer exhilaration and ecstasy of triumph Palpatine must have felt in that moment - decades of training under Plageuis and eventually deceiving and killing him to become the ruling Lord of the Sith, along with decades of living as a benevolent politician whilst orchestrating mind-boggling conspiracies and intergalactic war - all of that, and now he has finally achieved what the Sith have sought for millennia since the time of Bane, and eons further back since the original Schism in the Jedi Order that made the Sith from the Dark Jedi exiles....
Man you make me want to be the guy that had his attractiveness go into the negatives.
And whats more, the people love it. THEY ADORE IT. The Glee that he has gotten billions of people to rally against the jedi. He's run a perfect god damn game for nearly 40 ish years and he's set to do a victory lap for another 20 as the emperor. It's probably taking all of his restraint to keep him from skipping around that podium clicking his heels. Everything has payed off. All the near misses all the perilous jobs. everything is done. There is nothing left to do for him to do but drive the future imperial senate into the ground so he can possess complete autonomy and focus on that immorality business. because that would arguably be easier than the bullshit he had pulled to get here... But then the death star happend....

Tim David I am The Senate
George Lucas is clearly a student of history. Palpatine seems to be a well put together combination of Hitler, Stalin, Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus, Caligula and Diocletian. George also seems to have mirrored historical events when writing about Palpatines plans, for example, Order 66 is an obvious copy of the Night of the Long Knives.
This is very effective, as it makes the events in an otherwise unrealistic fantasy land seem very plausible. The fans who criticised the prequels obviously knew Fuck all about the world around them to not see that
Well yeah, that's true. A lot of people didn't get it but Palpatine is obviously based on the socialists who rose to power through corruption & brutality, betraying their own people in the process in order to secure power for themselves. Hardcore leftists like Stalin, Hitler, Mao & Saddam Hussein all did it and Palpatine echoed their MO. Most people don't care though and they think leftism/socialism is a great idea, that socialists like Adolf Hitler were just misunderstood, heh.
@@Archedgar Hitler was not a Marxist socialist like Stalin or Mao. Also, Socialism alone is a term for a very wide range of ideologies. In fact, Hitler doesn’t even fit into that range, as he defined socialism as being something completely different to the established definitions
@@Jim54_ I agree that the staunch leftist Adolf Hitler was a socialist and that's why he rose to become the leader of the socialists. You are right about that.

Palpatine was the most cunning villain ever and the best manipulator ever.

Roswynn One of the best and most important lines in Star Wars, in my opinion. I hate when people disparage the prequels for dealing with politics and trade disputes and all that... without those, what is the point of a war at all?
Additionally, I posit to you that this is the only way that liberty dies, when the tyranny is approved by the masses. If only the average viewer cared about allegory...
@@cloudwatcher608 Fuck yeah, totally agreed on that, if you see even just historical dictators 99% had been elected by popular vote with barely a struggle and with moltitudes of supporters ready to die for the cause (and I'm dodging the current situation of course, anyways).
As for the prequels, I've never actually met fans disparaging them for the politics as much as for some stilted acting, some - wait ONE VERY STUPID CHARACTER and a couple other problems that are actually consistent with a cinematographical point of view, but I agree that if politics is the reason one doesn't like the prequels... tough shit buddy, it's all quite riveting stuff. Again, from a cinematographic view point, I think. It's got its reasons and it's well done, even superb at times. Padme's line is a fuckin' classic in my humble opinion. They used (and have always used actually) a cool escapist action franchise to pointedly comment on very real sociopolitical forces/movements that are not going away anytime soon, really. If that's not brilliant I don't know what to tell the disgruntled fans.
@@cloudwatcher608 The whole operatic plot arch was perfectly fine in concept, it just made for REALLY boring movies. There's a lot of nostalgia tied up in these movies for me too but you gotta take a step back and realize they're just badly written and directed.
@@roswynn5484 The main issue is that the scripts were slapped together by George Lucas without much outside input or criticism. He wrote the script like it was a book, and tried to translate it to screen without really understanding how story-telling in movies works. The result is a story that's epic on paper and in concept, but just really boring to actually watch.
@@dancegod1691 Okay, yeah, I can get behind that. I agree they can often be boring, sometimes the writing is mediocre and the directing isn't much better. In particular I find the plots a bit convoluted sometimes, and the character of Anakin most of the time has very badly written dialogue, with Hayden Christensen doing a half-hearted job.

I'm feeling very patriotic for the Empire.
As you should
Long Live the Empire.
Suddenly I'm developing a British accent, even though we are in space, and there is no Britain.
I was thinking, if palpatine were to actually run in the real world most likely he would be republican, and it's kind of fitting you say feeling patriotic for the empire, because he is convinced everyone that he's the most patriotic and that he's fighting for everyone, when in turn he's the one that is causing and bringing about fascism and dictatorship rule. which is kind of along the ideology of what modern day Republicans would like to have, a Dominionist theocratic fascist society, all while believing that they are the most patriotic.
We all do.
