George Lucas' Original Palpatine Backstory Revealed by Lucasfilm Employee

George Lucas wrote 50 scripts on his show about the Underworld of Coruscant. This proposed show was being worked on before Disney bought Star Wars from George Lucas. This show, in my opinion, gave inspiration to The Mandalorian. I think we'll see lots of tie ins in the show eventually. I hope we see other familiar planets like we saw in the prequels and originals with Anakin, Obi-Wan, Palpatine, Luke and Vader etc...

NEW PODCAST

[StarWarsTheory]

Think this Star Wars Underworld show is now The Mandalorian? Thanks for tuning in today!

[dorrin]

His idea for the underworld on Corsucant sounds pretty cool.

[anakinskywalker]

It's not the story Disney would tell you

[dorrin]

The Darth Plagueis novel gave Palpatine a cool backstory. Humanized him, without making him a sympathetic character.

[frozarburst]

I just prefer Palpatine as he is now. No relationships. No attachments. Just pure evil

[TheSpyGuy]

What if Yoda took Luke to Dagobah when he was a baby and Obi Wan raised Leia as his own daughter?

[MEGAMOVIELORD]

He told to her to “Execute Order 69” after he bought her a lobster buffet dinner and she resisted....I would be pissed too.

[xXEPICPresXx]

Lucas: *doesn’t release underworld scripts*

Star Wars fans: The scared texts!

[Jpilgrim]

Doesn’t sound like just a “break-up”. Sounds like she was evil and destroyed his life and took everything from him.

[SomeoneAbstruse]

I'd love to have a full "Lukas' Star Wars" book series, like, how George Lukas would've had it. But that's me

[Deathflare]

Anakin: "I will do whatever you ask. Just help me save Padme's life. I can't live without her."

*Palpatine has a long flashback about that vile wretched woman who ruined his life.*

Palpatine: "Let me tell you the tragedy of Darth Not-Sidious the scorned. It's a sith legend, about how to never trust a hoe."

[DuaneBlack]

I think the "girl causing a fallen hero" was done with Anakin already. If we go that route, the story of Star Wars becomes one of women being the root of all troubles.

[simonperez]

The more the Mandalorian distances from the Disney Trilogy, the better.

[riverofblood]

I think a "Joker" kinda backstory would be perfect for Palpatine. Just a psychopath, who was given power.

[ammosophobia]

Curious ... how the woman is assumed to be a romantic relationship when it could easily be an abusive mother.

[brennanbrownmusic]

Lucas himself did refer to Star Wars as a “space opera”

[maxwell]

I have to disagree. Even monsters were young and naive at one point. His image is built it didnt just come out of nowhere

[nickh.]

I really hope the mandalorian will have nothing to do with the Disney trilogy. Otherwise I wouldn't consider it as canon anymore

[bacondorito]

5:37 me who’s never had a girlfriend: “I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I-I can overthrow him!”

[revan]

A broken heart leads to many paths that some people would consider unnatural.
