For 40 years, Ian McDiarmid has continuously returned to play Palpatine, and film culture will forever owe him a debt of gratitude of his impeccable performance.
Palpatine is literally the purest villain. He wasn't motivated by greed, acceptance, revenge, or anything like that. He just had an innate determination to be the most powerful being through the dark side and then used other people's weaknesses, misconceptions, and ignorance to conduct his political machinations and work his way to the top (right under the Jedi's noses). So much of this plotline is underrated when people think of Star Wars, but it's my favorite part. Great video!
@@colbywidener7092 I could be misunderstanding, but I think the Sith way is to allow yourself to feel greed, hate, and other negative motions in order to draw power from them. I don’t know if that necessarily means Palpatine is motivated specifically by greed for money or hate for some person or idea like other beings might be. He simply does anything to elevate himself into more power. At least that’s my interpretation from what I’ve watched and read of him, but that’s why I love palpatine as a villain 😁
@saarang7572 You pretty much understand it. But what I'm saying is that those are all a part of the sith way to achieve power and to keep power. A Sith being selfish and narcissistic will always allow negative and destructive behavior to dominate their life like greed and hate, and any positive behavior like love or compassion is quickly denounced and forgotten
He embodies a line from Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil "A living thing seeks above all to discharge its strength-life itself is WILL TO POWER." He didn't do it for love or revenge or greed, his deepest desire, his dream above all else was to see his power and control stretch across the entire galaxy and beyond. His entire life was Will to Power and the struggle to gain that power, but it ultimately left him brittle and inflexible, once he had that ultimate power as Emperor he had no plans to use it towards any real goal, he simply sat content on his throne until his pride and arrogance killed him.
This edit perfectly encapsulates what Mon Mothma said she learned from Palpatine - “ I show you the stone in my hand you miss the knife at your throat “
Damn… using that shot at the end was powerful. In a way it’s haunting to see that after all the manipulation and death that he caused, he just sits there and watches the galaxy suffer. But in another way it’s almost… sad? Isn’t there a saying that dictators are often the loneliest people or something like that? It’s almost like after 40+ years of tyranny, Palpatine had no one left around him so he just sits there thinking in his head that he had accomplished everything he wanted for his own selfish desires, but from an outside point of view he’s nothing more than a lonely old man.
Well, sorta. The plan from the beginning was the distruction of the Jedi and post order 66, it was known to some extent survivors remained. So the hunt and the dream had not truly been completed. Hence why Vader spent a good majority of the early years hinting Jedi Survivors. Now, in terms of the current cannon, this is all. Not much more too it other than to sit back and rule a galaxy. But... if you take in a little inspiration from Legends and very loose hints in cannon, something else did get his attention. We have had a very small number of scenes that suggested Palpatine became concerned about something from the Unknown Regions. Something that would be an excercentral threat to the Universe. Now, it is worth noting that the mentions are just vague fragments and could be a meaningless as him just finding Exogal. But if it were something else, it would potentially explain the Death Star and his rapid militarization efforts that continued even after the Galaxy was mostly subdued under the boot of the Empire. For the record, I am not saying he is a good guy. But... I can absolutly see a reality where Palpatine sees something in his visions and has an "Oh s*it we are all f*cked." moment and proceed to plan accordingly. Another argument to be made are the contingency orders he left in case of his death. Some of the planets, as seen in BF2, were loyal to the Empire. The possible argument that could be made here is that Palpatine left behind orders to destroy or hinder these planets in specific ways so that whatever "threat" did some would not be able to utilize whatever advantage it could gain from these worlds. Again, this is grasping at straws and nothing is official, but in Legends Palpatine had favored the construction of the Death Star was a weapon against the Uconn Vog. Doubt we will ever see them in cannon, but in Legends I think it was at least confirmed that Palpatine was aware that firepower was going to be the determining factor between victory and defeat and the design of the ISD 1 was intended to be a front line battle ship against the Vog. The ISD 2 coming about due to rebel fighter tactics while still trying to keep it's intended role. And I think there was a video that did explain how the Uconn Vog would have had a harder time fighting the Empire than it did the Republic. Now, you would think if any of this is true than Palpatine would clue others in, but Sith are Sith and by his nature of being absolutly drunk on power, I think he just figured he could use the potential crisis to his advantage. The problem with all of this is in the Sequels and the "tantrum" he has over losing the Empire. But the Final Order (as awful as the name is) did still carry on with the same military doctrine the Empire had. Which still begs the question of the possibility we may still see something worse than Palpatine come to the galaxy. Take it all with a grain of salt. It is a lot of hopeful thinking.
@@christopherpoet458 this may be happening in canon, but with the grysks from timothy zahns thrawn novels replacing the yuuzhan vong. To understand this, read all of timothy zahns thrawn novels, and chuck wendigs aftermath trilogy
@@kylexwlsn8372 I have read the books up until the events of Lothal. I have not read Alliances or any more frequent releases yet. I will have to see if I can find audio-books. But I will check them out. I am not familiar with the Grysks.
The idea of him enjoying suffering actually explains stuff like the inhibitor chips: why make the clones commit to Order 66 willingly when you can force them to do it to make them more miserable?
Bringing in the Darth Plagues Audiobook is one of the best choices. This is such a great edit. Palpatine is one of the best characters that Star Wars has ever had. He's put everything in motion, his rise to power, his planning, his training,, almost every detail of him is awesome.
He's probably one of the best villains ever written. He is Satan. Through and through. He doesn't seek to right any wrongs, to claim any rights, to avenge any slights. He cares only for himself. He relishes the scheming, the conniving, and the suffering he creates. He desires only one thing: absolute power. Not to make the Galaxy better but solely because he knows he can do it.
No one could have played Palpatine better. That good bit of camp acting made it all the more believable that he was a secret genius acting like he was an everyman, while secretly being the greatest villain ever put to screen. He's so influential and well written and acted, even people in our world believe in the Empire.
The one true villain. backed by no moral origin story. He is evil, just for the hell of it. By far the MOST Intelligent man in the entire Galaxy, followed by Yoda, Thrawn and Vader. Truly a person with utmost clarity.
"You must realize.. there aren't enough jedi to protect the galaxy.." and instantly cuts to the jedi massacre at Geonosis Arena, truly showcasing Palpatine's plan, in the first hours of the clone wars he already inflicted serious damage to the Jedi Order and what came next was a long and bloody process of weakening the Order, by the time order 66 was executed, most of the work was done, countless jedi were already killed, their numbers were short and also spread thin through the galaxy, the end of the Order came down to a single order, one planned decades before the war.
Another amazing edit! I love how you started it with, "The Republic is in decay. Corporations continue to gain a political foothold as more and more senators succumb to corruption." It's important to remember the greed at the heart of all of this. The greed for more money and more life, both of which stem from a pathological fear of loss that results from a lack security during crucial developmental phases. So many people in both our real and fictional worlds cause endless suffering because of their inability to recognize their fear. More people in the real world (including me) need to follow Yoda's advice and "Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose." Thank you for this beautiful reminder!
I've sought discipline during my teenage years, even if it was through fictional stories. I sought to mold my moral compass into a desirable shape. I wanted order above all. I think I did. And now, I discern which desires I want to see done, from the ones that lack longevity. In short, I think I lived through this quote.
Well not really, if Palpatine wasn't here it would have jus been someone else. It was initially Plagueis' plan but when Sidious took his place he continued the plan and somewhat changed it to involve him gaining his own apprentice(s).
It took me a lot longer than it should have to realize how strongly Palpatine's rise to power and the fall of the Republic is inspired by Hitlers rise to power and the fall of the Weimar Republic at the time. No one saw what was happening right in front of their eyes until Palpatine directly ordered the execution of anyone who would oppose him. And even then, the majority of the people still applauded as he burned the remnants of the Republic. Lucas did an amazing job telling this story.
Not really, he didn't secretly cause the chaos, just took advantage of it. For once, he never even pretended to like democracy or want to preserve it. Same with Napoleon, or Octavian and the Roman republic, they took advantage of chaos they didn't create. Although they both claimed to be the protectors of the republic. So those two would be more similar to Palpatine actually. But anyone can see what they want in it... It's a movie...
@@rob6927 Yes, he took advantage of the chaos at that time. But he and his supporters were also nurturing the existing chaos and the hatred of the people, directing it against those they wanted to eliminate. Palpatine never pretended to like democracy, either. He just never said openly that he wants to get rid of it. However, he was always promoting a strong leader to take control and bad-mouthing the slow decision-making process in the Republic, as well as the democratic decisions themselves, if they were unpopular with certain people. The difference is that in the movies, it seems more like Palpatine is following a grand plan. But he does also have moments where he improvises, and uses a situation that he probably did not expect to his advantage. I actually doubt that he really predicted all the events from beginning to end. Much rather, I believe that he just caused chaos to destabilize the Republic, knowing that it would make the people susceptible to his messages, as it did during the Weimar times and today again in many countries. And I don't think he could have caused a civil war, if there had not been any hostilities to begin with. So the only real difference in the end would be how well they both had planned their take-over of power. The overall events are very clearly inspired by the events during the Weimar Republic, though. Especially the way Palpatine became chancellor, the legislations he passes to end the crises in the Republic, all the way to his announcement to end the Republic. It's not a one to one representation of historic events, of course, but the connections are definitely there.
Dude this is crazy good! Palpatine was a very brilliant but evil man, it's rally cool to see how he rose to power and your editing skills are just getting unbelievable! The timeline stuff you were doing was really cool too and I can't wait to see whats next!
Vader is phenomenal as a villain dont get me wrong but I like him a lot for his arc and what that chapter adds to Anakins character. Palpatine has no redemption arc. He is pure evil. The puppet master. The Emperor. Vader will always be more iconic but Palpatine gave him that name (literally).
Epic work! You’ve managed to actually make the prequels coherent and good. Your talent is being able to take the perfect moment from so many incredible sources and piece it together perfectly. Thank you!
Dude, you did a beautiful job of pulling together all these threads from a massive tapestry! I have enough video editing experience to know how clever and carefully thought out some of those edits were. The final shot was perfect.
Sidious is my all time favorite character. This video did justice and more I could had wanted in a video of him! Def sub and like this video! Long live the empire
This really did give a sense of Count Dooku as being conflicted every step of the way. I'd heard that the Clone Wars made him a bit of a stock villain... if he has more scenes like this, maybe I should give it a watch.
The SWFT team ensures with exciting and conquering content,i appreciate it, though,i'd like to see your another masterpiece in The hobbit or the lord of the rings
This is some of the best editing I’ve seen in a Star Wars edit and it’s been so cool to see your editing get better and batter the more videos you make.

At last, the work of generations is complete. The great error is corrected. The day of victory is at hand. The day of revenge. The day of the Sith.
Looking forward to it, a tribute to my second favorite Star Wars Villain, right behind Vader of course.
Such an awesome speech that was cut out of the movie and put in a fucking FORTNITE event

This edit perfectly encapsulates what Mon Mothma said she learned from Palpatine - “ I show you the stone in my hand you miss the knife at your throat “
Even after more than a year, Andor lives on as the best thing in recent Star Wars history....
“The Republic will be reorganized into the FIRST GA-LAC-TIC EMPIRE! For a safe, and secure, society!”
What a convincing lie, I don't think!
You will be safe, pinky promise xD
Long live the Empire
“So this how liberty ends? With thunderous applause.”

- Frank Underwood from Netflix's House of Cards.

“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.”

Wonderful book! Sad it was Frank Herbert's last completed "Dune" Saga work.

Imagine if Ahsoka actually believed Maul. What a turn that would take!

"The jedi serve a corrupt senate that fail the republic it represent"
That thumbnail makes it look like Palpatine just dropped the slickest rap album of the decade.
I think it would be great to see a fan film about Palpatine. Since Disney doesnt care much about the fans, we should take matters in our own hands
Fantastic work man! Loved how you included Plagueis's voice from the audiobook 🔥
