  • Emperor Palpatine is returning for Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise Of Skywalker. Before we review that let's revisit the 1991 Dark Horse comic, Dark Empire, acting as a sequel to the original trilogy that had The Emperor clone himself to go up against Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo. Before we had dark side Rey we got dark side Luke Skywalker, plus the return of Boba Fett, Jedi Holocrons, force projection and amazing action sequences but in a comic! This is our Caravan Of Garbage review, thanks for watching.

They’re actions, along with their conviction that their actions would improve matters, played into Palpatine’s hands.

    In the novelization of the first film (which came out before the film itself) it was revealed that his name was Palpatine and that he was a senator who became "President" of the Republic (changed to Chancellor for the PT) before declaring himself Emperor around the time the Jedi were taken out. So the basics of his backstory were there from the beginning. The only real difference is that the prologue to the novel assumes that his cronies likely have the real power and he is basically a puppet who is hidden away from the people, but even that can be seen as a theory by the people since it is an in-universe document from the "Journal of the Whills."

I mean you have to admit that Luke facing down a bunch of First Order Walkers and Kylo Ren without taking a single life, saving the remnants of the resistance and only sacrificing himself is a very Jedi thing to do.

The guy who should be the wisest jedi and greatest peacekeeper just blindly accepts and leads the clones to fight in the war, is too dumb to figure out it was all a trap and fights with the intent to kill without a second tought... It's too dumb. The Prequels are a shame.
      The advice he gave Obiwan when Anakin turned was nothing short of "sorry dude but you gotta kill him, there's no other way."

      Ezio Auditore I completely disagree. It doesn’t matter if he was physically there or if he wasn’t. What matters is the example he set and the hope he inspired with his actions. Him actually being there physically standing down the First Order woulda been awesome... but it also would’ve somewhat missed the point.
      The point isn’t that the Jedi are a bunch of Überpowerful baddasses that can face down armies. The point is that the Jedi should be able to inspire hope without ever needing to draw their weapon. He doesn’t need to face down the whole First Order with a laser sword, because the First Order is a problem he can’t solve.
      Luke’s time is over. He was the hero at the start of the myth, but myths aren’t made to sell toys. Eventually, inevitably, the generations after need to be trusted to handle their own problems. And the generation before’s job is to give them all they need to solve those problems.
      Luke couldn’t cut down the First Order. That’s just giving Kylo what he wanted. By not even showing up, he denied Kylo the battle he wanted and gave the resistance the hope they needed.
