Darth Sidious is my absolute favorite character from any franchise ever. There is no villain in cinematic history as manipulative, brilliant, evil, heartless, malevolent and powerful as Darth Sidious. I even have a poster of Sidious using force lightning. This was an amazing tribute video.

[spazm_seraphim]

Sidious is truly an underrated character and in my opinion the best villain of all time. Without him, none of the Star Wars trilogies wouldn't make sense.

[LordFrobozz]

'He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did...'

History is destined to repeat itself.

Fantastic compilation!

[joeschook]

I love that Sifious is just evil incarnate. None of the trend of "Oh the villain needs to be relatable and sympathized with" that every villain seems to have now a days. Sidious was born bad. He is cunning. He was evil. He is power.

[cw_edits]

It was worth the wait man, the portayal of his manipulation throughout the whole saga and his story in general was amazing! Your skills in storytelling, editing and choice of music always result in brilliant tributes

[wintersoldier]

I just read darth plagueis and it's beautiful to see each step sidious took to become the emperor

[intothemultiverse]

Uses force lightning:

1. Gets face melted
2. Gets thrown down a reactor shaft
3. Gets broken apart into pieces.

Man you’d have thought he’d have known not to use it!

[MagnanimousEntropy]

Of all the villains across all of humanities fictions, few, if any, can match Darth Sidious in scope, scale, or power. Few have ever so completely won or utterly defeated their enemies as he. And none have been so utterly irredeemable and devoid of light.
He literally is the embodiment of the Dark Side. The embodiment of evil.

[Fish_Feet]

Darth Sidious basically IS the storyline.

He was the puppet master of all events taking place from before the finding of Anakin to the collapse of the Empire.

(or final order I guess)

[countvolkihar]

Darth Sidious is the only reason I like Star Wars. He is simply perfect.

[swstudios]

Wonderful work. Tributes to Darth Sidious must be more common. He is such a interesting and crucial character to the storyline.

[katsarelas]

We all have problems with the sequels, but, us legends fans always knew palps could return. And although I don’t love the way they did his ultimate defeat, I’m glad they did it.

[CobraCommander]

He was born a nobleman of Naboo, but he became so much more. He became a senator and then a chancellor, and then emperor, but he was always more. He was darkness and malevolence given shape and was only stopped by the direct creation of The Force. He was never Sheev Palpatine. He was born Darth Sidious, the dark side personified.

[thechickenisnotamused]

The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many edits some consider to be.... epic.

[moonreverie]

"Long have I waited..."
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, GREAT JOB MAN!

[VanderEdits]

One of the best characters in Star Wars. Marvelous edit! 😊

[harveyfleck]

“No one rises to power without stepping on the backs of others.”

[ronandynan]

Never has there been a more manipulative, powerful, successful, ingenious and wholeheartedly, irredeemably evil villain as Palpatine, though he will never get the praise he deserves

[RyRy_]

It has often been said that Darth Vader is the most evil villain in cinematic history. Those people haven't looked closely enough, they haven't seen the one controlling the strings attached to Vader. Palpatine is the ultimate puppet master and the ultimate movie villain in history.

This was a Fantastic tribute for My Third Favorite Antagonist in Star Wars. Ian Mcdiarmid did a Phenomenal Performance making Darth Sidious into one of The Best Villains in Cinematic History. Even Though The Sequel Trilogy weren’t The Best Star Wars Films but Ian Mcdiarmid’s Return as Darth Sidious was absolutely Well Done and I’m also happy got the chance to voice Palpatine in Star Wars Rebels, Tales of The Jedi and The Bad Batch.
