Daniel Plainview will be out next! I hope
you’ve all enjoyed this little mini series on Star Wars.

Fun fact: The robes Sidious wears when hes making the speech to the senate. Those are Sith robes. The only people who knew what the robes were are the Jedi. So its one giant "Fuck you. I win."

[spencerfoote]

“The most evil villain in all cinema history is a politician” Hits too close to reality.

[hitrapperandartistdababy]

This entire essay reminds me of a famous movie line: “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convince the world he didnt exists” perfectly fits with Palpatines story

[antonioperez]

“His crimes are immeasurable.”

That’s honestly the most terrifying part about Darth Sidious.

[Hank..]

He was so good at planning, he'd created plans that even the writers didnt know about until they scrambled to bring him back for episode IX

[Dan-ufvh]

I remember the actor once said Palpatine's only redeeming quality is that he is a patron of the opera house

[bgt]

you do have a point. Palpatine ruled the entire known galaxy. Sauron failed conquering middle earth. Voldemort couldn’t conquer a high school.

[dorrin]

Palpatine didn't even _need_ to be turned to the Dark Side. He just needed to be *unleashed.*

[hitrapperandartistdababy]

To summarize why I love Palpatine: He knows he is evil and he *loves* every second of it

[drewpowers]

The genius of Ian McDiarmid in this role is the eyes. If you look at the scenes of the Chancellor, he changes his facial expressions to fake empathy or to fake joy during a celebration…but the eyes stay dead focused, cold and unchanged. He is always working on the great plan. No days off and Ian McDiarmid showed that focus in every scene no matter how small

[richardjohnson]

Let's all be grateful that Ian McDiarmid was still in his thirties when he got the part, which has allowed him to give us four decades of Palpatine. I wasn't crazy about Rise Of Skywalker but the Emperor is always entertaining to watch. As a sidebar, notice that in AOTC they were clearly intending to just have Palpatine age into his Emperor face and then decided later to burn him with his own Force lightning in Episode III

[ALovelyLad]

The emperor turning around in his chair and saying “hello everyone” is the perfect start to a video

[NipsnTips]

It’s safe to say that Palpatine is one of the greatest villains in cinematic history. He played the longest game possible and wound up getting exactly what he wanted. Yes, he died in the long run, but all villains do eventually. The point is that he was patient and smart, and it completely paid off.

Palpatine, what every politician aspires to be

[maestroc.]

Palpatine is hands down the best villain. As "So Uncivilized" said: "He is the devil, and he dragged the Messiah (Anakin) to the Dark Side." It's not the exact quote, but you get the idea.

[CYBERRCELL]

Ian McDiarmid had the best performance in any of the 9 movies. The fact he came back 15 years later to play someone 20 years younger than the original performance is still magic to me.

[Stickweasel]

Palpatine knows exactly what he is and he's having a blast with it.

[anthonyg]

This video makes the words that Vader said in return of the Jedi “the emperor is not as forgiving as I am” hit much harder

[dereklopez]

Ian Mcdiarmid was born to play The Emperor.
