Palpatine's Thoughts as ANAKIN was Built into VADER

Palpatine first met Anakin in revenge of the Sith. He was the chosen one for the Jedi and now, for palpatine. Palps coerced anakin patiently into the dark side since he first met him. Strategically planting seeds into his mind until the time came to do what must be done and execute order 66. Anakin was Palpatine’s protoge, he was everything to him. He was to be more powerful than Sidious, and to rule the galaxy with his powerful apprentice. However, when Anakin fell to Obi-Wan, or rather, to his own arrogance in thinking he could defeat his former master atop a less favourable position, against the high ground, Sidious was devastated. In the film, Revenge of the Sith, we see Vader being put together in Palpatine’s medical facility on Coruscant. The best medical droids at her service, applying an out of date suit so Vader would live with the pain of his failure, mentally and physically, forever. But did you ever wonder, what was Sidous thinking while Vader was being put together? His prize new apprentice, the one he had tried to turn to the dark side, had now just become a fraction of the man he almost became. How did Sidious take it? How did he feel about it? What did he think of Vader now? The following excerpt comes not from Matthew Stover’s Revenge of the Sith novelization of the film, but rather Patricia c Wrede’s junior novelization of revenge of the sith, and it’s quite interesting what Palpatine’s thoughts were.

Palpatine:”So can you fix him?”
Med Droid:”Here’s the medical plan for his insurance.”
Palpatine:*spits coffee.*

[ssboooy]

Palpatine look of dismay*
Palpatine -“I..I just can’t have nice things, can I?”

[MikeSmith-wdkx]

"It would seem in your anger you killed her." Always made me feel sorry and bad for Vader.

[Merlchar]

I really like the idea that Palpatine would see the silver lining in Vader's appearance inducing more terror than Anakin's handsome face ever could. So not a total loss.

[Oodelally]

I always wondered why Palpatine didn’t start training Anakin once he revealed himself as the Sith, they could’ve secretly gone to Korriban or other Sith worlds - Anakin could have been VERY powerful if Palpatine had not been overly confident!

[geoffowen]

For some reason when I see Palpy stood over injured Anakin when he's being retrieved from Mustafar, I always expect him to say ....
Annie are you ok?
Are you ok Annie?
Annie are you ok?

Darn it now I'm picturing Palpy doing an MJ dance now.
🤣🤣🤣

[teriddax]

"Where is Padme?"

THAT always felt like the last shred of Anakin Skywalker to me. Of course Sidious would snuff that out, and he didn't even need to lie to do it, as you said.

[alexkavo]

I’ve always thought it was interesting how it is love that both descends anakin into the dark side and redeems him to the light.

[MakingGainz]

Really makes you understand more of the pain of Vader. I think when he met Luke and discovered it was his son the light side reawakened in him.

[slicerneons]

Making sure Obi-wan did not have the high was why Vader took so long to confront Kenobi on the Death Star.

[Gweb]

My interpretation of palps and Vader has always been that Palps actually cared about anakin and trusted him . I think when he places his hand on vaders head after finding him on Mustafar, he cements this . Just like when anakin chucks palps down the shaft, palps never sensed it because he trusted anakin . Anakin is palps attachment

[Ben-Ken]

You're voice acting is beyond excellent. You could have a career just doing Star Wars audio books.

[XX_Brandon]

You really should do an "what if Anakin didn't survive his injuries."

[Boromir]

"The final touch." Showing that everything he once had was gone and that he had destroyed the last things that were important to him.
How inSidious of papa Palpy pulling that little trick.
Imagine if Kenobi had remembered the Jedi way and not simply left Anakin to burn alive. I wonder if he would have been able to turn him back in time?

[yannik]

Would be super interesting so see how Palpatine would train a new apprentice. Not Maul, but someone totally new. How his training style would look like now, after being declared emperor. Now he could full on train a potential Sith, not only limiting him/her to the rank of a Sith assasine. Would be so cool to see.

[CanadianCrusader]

This man knows how to get clicks. You just capitalize ANAKIN and VADER. Well played.

[ace]

Thanks for Everything you Dew General Theory another amazing video
