The Entire Emperor Palpatine Story Explained

Darth Vader is the most famous villain in the Star Wars saga, but even he had to answer to Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor was mostly behind the scenes until Return of the Jedi, where he seemed to meet his end on the Death Star. We got to see him rise to power in the prequels, and now the sequel trilogy has revealed that he still has a part to play after all.

From his early days as a Sith apprentice to his resurrection in The Rise of Skywalker, let’s take a look at the explanation of the entire Emperor Palpatine story.

What would you want the next Star Wars movie to be about?

[csmith]

Episode one: Chancellor
Episode two: supreme chancellor
Episode three: the senate
Episode four to six: The emperor
Episode nine: All the Sith

[michaeljones]

Palpatine will be dead unless Disney needs him to be alive

How crazy is it that he turned out to be the main villain in all 3 trilogys

[fahoodie]

He was like Napoleon. He took control of a republic, made himself emperor, defeated everyone until he lost, and finally returned for a last round after everyone thought he was finished

[michaelbugliosi]

I love how ridiculous the story becomes in the final two minutes.

[NeekSquad]

Bringing Palpatine back in the last movie cheapens Darth Vader’s death

[aidan]

So Palpatine is basically Hitler, his rise to power, death, and life in Argentina😂

[a.jthomas]

We seriously need a Star Wars story that centers in Darth Plagueis, Sheev Palpatine becomes a Sith Lord, Plagueis is aware Anakin is the Chosen One, and how Darth Maul became Darth Sidious's Apprentice.

They have to destroy the horcruxes. It’s the only way to kill him.

My favorite part of The Rise of Skywalker was when the emperor said “Do it.”

[FMJ]

It's funny how all the story is vastly detailed until the point after he falls in the shaft and revives, then it becomes really vague.

Vadar: I am your Father.
Sidous: I am your Grandfather. Hehe

[MerganNaidoo]

This new trilogy turned these movies from the Skywalker Saga into the Palpatine Saga.

[thegalacticgalaxy]

The prequels are so underrated, it clearly and brilliantly tells the story of Palpatine manipulating the entire galaxy, and him slowly gaining power.

[clintfreeman]

Obi-wan: Don’t try it Anakin, I have the high ground!!

Palpatine: DEW IT!!

[halvey]

Nope Anakin is the chosen one from the prophecy. He was to defeat the Sith and bring balance to force as he did by throwing the emperor down that shaft, thus completing his fate.

[jonathanjohndavid]

The emperor is probably not dead, "The dark side is a path way to many abilities some would consider to be unnatural"

[plateplate]

This video highlights just how ridiculous Ep 9 is when compared to the original movies.

[MastaPhil]

Palpatine was in hiding longer than Bin Laden. Give that guy a medal!
