Chancellor Palpatine: CT-5555 is a wanted man

The Kaminoans: Impossible. He wasn't even a wanted child

Do you think Palpatine got bored after becoming Emperor?

Like, all these years and years and literal decades of planning and waiting and anticipation. Crafting and recrafting and fixing and erasing plans, manipulating and scheming and constantly working, all to get him to this point.

And then once he got there... what else was there? I mean he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to enjoy the spoils of his newfound infinite wealth and power. He strikes me as an "always busy" kind of guy, the kind that always has at least five different tasks he's working on at once.

So once that was gone, he had to have become at least a LITTLE bored.

Anyways, in this essay I will describe how Palpatine went from Sith Lord to Emperor to galaxy renowned sabacc-polo-fencing-golf champion-

I don’t remember if I posted this one or not. Whatever, here it is again if I did.

"ALWAYS TWO THERE ARE. NO MORE, NO LESS. A MASTER, AND AN APPRENTICE."

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1346x2048 -- Spotlight on published cover art to "STAR WARS: Lords of the Sith" (published April 2015) canon SW novel, written by Paul S. Kemp. Artwork by Aaron McBride.

"He’d said that the relationship between Sith apprentice and Master was symbiotic but in a delicate balance. An apprentice owed his Master loyalty. A Master owed his apprentice knowledge and must show only strength. But the obligations were reciprocal and contingent. Should either fail in his obligation, it was the duty of the other to destroy him. The Force required it. Since before the Clone Wars, Vader’s Master had never shown anything but."

rewatching the mandalore/order 66 arc. I'm on Shattered (s7,ep11) right now, before the chips get and activated and jeez I forgot how heavyladen even the music is.

You can feel the tension and sense of dread just by looking at the characters grim interactions with each other, but the music.

We all know what's coming, but the music is reminding us that the days of "we are going to go commit war crimes and win the day with the power of friendship" are over. This is where it gets serious. This is were the reality of Sidious's plot is about to hit. This is not an epic battle. This is a tragedy.

Final alternativo Star Wars lll revenge of the sith.

Anakin Skywalker le gana la pelea a Obi Wan Kenobi en Mustafar.

It's always "the Jedi failed at this," "Anakin should've done that," and never "Darth Sidious is so good at his job, he deserves to get Sith Lord of the month."

Not to be the first soldier on the frontless of the woobification of Qimir (he is a villain, we know this, and I love him for it), but the lack of nuance, or rather the one-dimensional angle people who don't like his relationship with Osha have taken with him, irks me so bad. I get it. He is Sith, right. Treachery is their way; and what are the darksiders, if not self-serving?

But I feel like the specific phrasing of "the Jedi like you would call me Sith" implies so much about his own unique characterization, and I don't understand why we are glossing over it. It's not a self-identifier. It shows it isn't as much as a title he'd give himself, but a badge he'll wear since in the black/white viewpoint of the Jedi, he is not allowed to be anything more or less. His almost catty, "semantics" hammers in this fact for me, personally.

He strikes me as one who takes what he wants of the Sith code, and disregards the rest. I don't think it's a mistake that even after his reveal, we don't see him with the signature dark side eyes.

I say all this to say; Qimir's ultimate goal is not power, it is FREEDOM. *That* is what he is driven by. He craves to live outside the confines he deems as constrictive/oppressive, and have by his side, someone who wants the same.

So even while disregarding Leslye's interview; I honestly don't know how with what we've been shown in the show so far, aside from him being a sith, makes people think otherwise.

NOT to cheapen a beautiful and very emotional scene but I love that Vader just tossed Sidious over a safety railing. You’re so right king he DOSEN’T deserve a climactic 10-minute lightsaber-force-lava-showdown-duel like Obi-Wan did

CALCULATED CRUELTY & OPPRESSION INCARNATE: DARTH SIDIOUS, DARK LORD OF THE SITH.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on "STAR WARS: Unleashed” Series 3 Darth Sidious six inch premium action figure/statuette card artwork by Clark Mitchell, released by Hasbro® in July 2003.

BOX DESCRIPTION: "Darth Sidious is a chilling specter of evil who casts his oppressive shadow over the galaxy. Long ago, before war shattered the Republic, Darth Sidious rose to power under an unassuming identity, using political machinations and the dark side of the Force to place himself in a position in which he could wield unlimited power. He worked in small, unseen steps to foment discord and incite greed so that these divisive forces would corrode the peace that had unified the galaxy.

PART II: Succeeding in this Machiavellian task, Sidious began to build his terrible empire upon the crushed remnants of the Jedi Order and the shattered remains of the war-torn galaxy. Just when his control of the dark side of the Force seemed insurmountable, the completion of his corrupt conquest was torn from his grasp by the redemptive power of a father's love for his son."
