Well, that IS what he taught Vader to do. A teacher can't fault a student for following orders.

[Cauin]

Sidious didn't realise until the very end how much Vader was keeping from him, that Anakin still existed within him. If he had known he would have tortured Vader in order to remove Anakin. While he believed a strong apprentice struggled against his master, hoping one day to defeat his master; Sidious always believed that Vader didn't have that in him any more, which is why the label of 'minor' miracle.
What it boils down to is that over the 22 years of their relationship, Vader and Sidious never really understood each other fully. Yet in the end, it was Sidious' mistake, not Vader. At the moment of his betrayal of his master, Vader proved that he was a true Sith, even as his actions redeemed him as a Jedi.

This was the balance that is so often spoken of; the Sith and the Jedi were reconciled in one of the Force's most powerful creations. This is how Master Skywalker came to be!

“Why Palpatine HATED getting up in the morning.”

[DMBLaan]

One of the biggest boons Palpatine enjoyed that almost all Sith before him didn't get, is that Palpatine could take advantage of hindsight. He had the luxury of not only seeing the failures of past Sith, but his own. And unlike many Sith, he was self aware enough that he could admit when he had made a mistake, so he could later correct it. While I still say Vitiate was the Strogest Dark Side user, even over Palpatine/Sidious, Sidious was the better Sith.

Dark Empire is one of my all time favorite stories from Legends.

[Littledog]

I want to hear how Luke freed himself from the Dark Side in Dark Empire

[somemong]

Tbqh I thought it was Palpy's plan all alone. He's old and tired of a political ruling and the empire has served it's purpose, so he needed an strong yet just successor. I believe there was 2 options, either Luke join empire so it will come to logical end where it won't have any purpose, or he torment Vader only son to play on Vader fatherly/survival instinct till his family preserving "hormones" kick in his brain and he realise that family is above the military state obedience duty, regardless of rank and responsibility you have to the military command. Afterall, as much Sidius was narcissistic and stubborn in his views, ever since Chancellor he wanted to be an emperor to restore the balance and peace as there been endless conflicts and corruption of jedi before him. In his own words, he never wish to be a ruler of the dead, there is no point of torment for sake of torment as Palp only torment Vader to teach him whst pain he causes to other and remind him thst no matter how unbelievably strong he is, here is always someone stronger than him, i.e. Sidius. The endless Palpy resurrection is just a paper tiger, he build all these world destroyers and whatnot to give mere image of a conflict, yet allow them all to be destroyed for a sacrificing ritual so more Siths emerge once Palpy recedes that will take his place, arrogantly believing they are jedi yet doing what Siths been planning all along; which is why it's beneficial to Palp for Luke to unironically think he's doing the good cause while using unaltered "dark forve", arrogantly believing he's serving the jedi and rebellion (who are as well are the empire's puppet state). It's the necessary evil that MUST exist in order counter the corruption, stagnation, arrogance, vanity, blinding pride, rotting and eventual death. Palpatine knew back in his chancellor years, perhaps even before, that the current corrupted arrogant jedi order that is like the highest supreme religious council holding absolute monopoly on the moral order in the galaxy - is the source of all the corruption and why conflicts never stopped to emerge, it NEEDED a system of checks and balance, Siths are just that one competitor, after all Sith is just mean the Ancient, the ancient knowledge that is forgotten, and jedi are just like freemasonry or orden of knight, the tampliers, who just use that very sith knowledge but claim themselves superior order because the restrict themselves from using emotions that subjectively deemed within their own club as "evil", and they don't follow the path of the Force as they claim, as the Force is a balance of both "sides", perhaps only qui-gon jinn knew that. It's just how the world works and necessary sacrifices must be made in order for life to continue to move on, sometimes a sacrifice the size of planet (blown by death star), sometimes of your own life so someone else becomes your, if not a political, but at least Spiritual successor.

"Why palpatine chose NOT to wear boxer shorts under his robes"

[dennisgrogg]

A tour of the Dark Empire would be extraordinary. Please do.

[supersmashbro]

gotta admit. as monsterous palpatine is. he doesn't hold a grudge.

[riverjordan]

With ZEAL!! He is sick and I absolutely love it.

[Datboi-hr]

Do a video on all force abilities from legends and cannon and thee different variations of abilities such as force slow has a different variation called force plague. When going over force lightning specifically can you go over different colors, what they mean and do and the different things you can do with it such as lightning grenade, force storm, and force shield.

Great video btw keep up the good work.

[NateIsCorrupt]

Yes, loving this extended universe concert. Hopefully we get this in live action with a faithful adaptation.

[AngelKing]

More about Dark Empire please! It is one of my favorite strories in Star Wars!

[galinhristov]

Sidious, Yoda and Obi-Wan all believed that Vader would never return to the light, but young Luke proved them all wrong. I think this is the moment Luke surpassed them all, not by sheer power, but by his heart, his desire to see through the half-machine that Vader looked like and find one deeply suffering man. And eventually that proved to be stronger than the Emperor's arrogance and Yoda's and Obi-Wan's disbelief of the light that was still present deep down in Vader. And that's the difference that makes Luke the best of the Jedi.

[fathertenebrarum]

Yes! Yea! We want a dark empire 1 & 2 video

[Audiencu]

I'd love to hear more about dark side Luke.. and as for Sidious.. feels like he took responsibility while simultaneously saying "but it doesn't matter, so its not a blemish on my record" thus not having any fault fall upon him. Kind of like saying "That's old news".

[TarsonTalon]

Palpatine: "Eh, I deserved it. HEHEHEH!"

[chancemeyers]

I would definitely enjoy a Dark Empire video
