Absolutely loved today's 2 episodes of The Bad Batch (and this speech specifically), so much so it reignited my motivation to make new videos sooner than I expected haha. I got a few videos related to the series I plan to upload later today or this week. Let me know what you thought of season 2 so far and these last two episodes!

[Vahki]

This is the Palpatine I love - the mastermind, the schemer, the puppet master. Never a situation which he cannot turn to his advantage. These two episode were outstanding.

[lisboah]

Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine will always be one of the best choices George Lucas made.

[Shadow_Symphony]

I will forever believe that this man has an ominous orchestra and choir following him around

[matthewmacmanus]

This is why Palpatine is my favorite canon sith. He has a contingency plan for literally anything that could go wrong. As Rex said later, he's always several steps ahead.

[Mediados]

I like how, despite having turned the state into an Empire, he still keeps up the illusion of democracy.

[archmaester]

Dark robes. Glowing yellow eyes. Deep, growling voice. Uhm... guys... I'm starting to think that Emperor Palpatine may not be a nice guy.

[ofearghailthefearless]

I knew this was gonna happen. Palpatine made the stormtrooper program possible on the technicality that the clones could be manipulated so easily by superiors and used what happened on Kamino to his advantage! What a moment in this show!

[nexusvfx-uwsi]

Despite Palpatine's speech on decommissioning the clones and replacing them with stormtroopers, it was so satisfying to witness Rampart's downfall.

[Megatank]

I love how this isn’t just fan service for the sake of it but it actually expands the lore and the story and gives more character depth for palpatine

[Ngamer]

Love how he drastically introduce the imperial stormtrooper. Coupled with the dramatic music, you really feel that it’s the end of clone troopers.

[DisasterMaggot]

Not only is Ian legendary as Palpatine, his Shakespearen acting brings him to the next level.

[Felix-zxzp]

I love how Palpatine indirectly uses Order 66 a second time here, now letting it seem as if the absolute loyalty of the clones, which was really only triggered by the order itself, could present a danger to the new Empire, and thus underlines the need for the stormtrooper program. So Order 66 did not only eliminate the Jedi, but the clones too...

[SWDude]

Ian kills it as the Emperor in this clip, as he always does!

He will always be the best Palpatine in Star Wars.

[TheCaesarion]

I love Palpatines “Exposing Rogue Elements” line. It definitely had a double meaning towards her and anyone helping her.

[EV_Comics]

0:16 the way he goes from old man to the most sinister growl in his voice is incredible. Truly 1 of the best villain performances of our time.

[TheWarmachine]

Admiral Rampart was just a pawn being used as a scapegoat for Palpatine to justify the replacement of Clones with the Stormtroopers.

[mossyproductions]

Notice how everybody went silent after Palpatine took the stage

[TitanXecutor]

Great to see Ian McDiarmd playing the senate again

[excitedcat]

Im not even mad,
Palpatine’s cunning and superior genius is just something I can’t help but admire, he made this work for him. Whatever you could’ve thought up of, he had a counter for it, your plan A will be countered by his plan C, and if you go to plan B he has a plan D for that one too, damn he’s so good it’s not funny man. It’s amazing. You have to respect him for that.
