Why Darth Sidious HATED Using His Lightsabers #starwars #darthsidious #palpatine #sith #shorts

Palps: "Lightsabers are dumb"

Also Palps: takes 3 incredibly skilled lightsaber duelists as apprentices

[NasXShady]

He’s that kid that hates school but gets As on all the assignments 😂

[bwilson]

His lighsabers were pretty damn slick too. Gold plated and single hand in design. Despite his beliefs on lightsabers and the sith, he still remained one of the most powerful duelists of his era.

[johntrevy]

He probably used Vader also to keep up the "I'm just a weak old man" cherade.

His 2 identical lightsabers were also made out of the most rare, precious, and expensive parts possible as an extra slap in the Jedis faces

[cameronbeal]

You’d think yoda would train Luke to deflect lightning knowing he was gonna have beef with Vader and the emperor

[mysteryjunkie]

Darth Sidious:”Lightsaber dueling is beneath me”
Also Darth Sidious:”Masters all 7 forms of Lightsaber forms just so he can humiliate any Jedi with his lightsaber

[karolclark]

I always found it interesting how Palpatine's ultimate goal as a sith was to rule and not be a warrior. In the time of the empire he let Vader do his bidding while he controlled the galaxy

[GAB-vqre]

I think if Palpatine never stopped using his sabers he would have been unstoppable. That scene in clone wars between him, Savage, and Maul was pure savage 🤌

Palps out here pullin the biggest scams ever

It was always curious to me in the original PS2 Battlefront II that Sidious was the only lightsaber user that walked around without it activated, only using it to block or using his slow primary attack
CPU Sidious also would NEVER use the lightsaber attack, only ever using it to block
For a PS2 game with badly outdated graphics, they really did pay attention highly to detail, it really is an underrated game

His fight against Maul & Oppress taught me everything I needed to know about Sidious. Beast!

[indescribablecardinal]

Sidious was evidently an absolute prodigy, but also props to Plagueis, he taught him extremely well in any regards, even in lightsaber dueling.

[etazeta]

Seeing duelling as beneath him isn't the same as disliking it. You're right that whenever he has to take a fight seriously, the zappy zappy comes out, but when he feels like he can get away with it, even against maul, who wouldn't take it as a mockery, he'll treat himself to a little lightsaber ass kicking and clearly enjoys it

[maharisha]

And the only reason why he used sabers against Maul and Savage was his need for sport-activity that he lacked due to his political work

[hornet]

In his younger days, he didn't mind using them against his enemies while being Darth Plageuis' apprentice. As he grew older, he moved away from using them. Although he did like the combat...

[grimreaper]

Puppet Master mentality. "Why would I fight when I have my puppets?"

[toma.]

There were sith throughout history that didnt use sabers. Some used swords, some used special staffs, some even relied on their power of the force as a weapon. Darth traya was especially critical of lightsabers, even claiming that male force users were especially attached to what she saw as an "insignificant thing" Palpatine was a master of the force he had no practical use for a saber, he manipulated his enemies for so long . Must have been a joke to him, he sat right under the jedi's noses for decades and they had no idea.

[sol.ringen]

i always thought it was strange how much palpatine disliked using a lightsaber yet he was a master in every form of lightsaber combat.

[josiahjohnson]

Love the approach. He relied on and cherished the force more than the jedi
