The Best of Palpatine / Darth Sidious / The Emperor 

Palpatine is only mentioned in ep 4 and the theatrical release of ep5 is a woman with monkey eyes, not McDiarmid.

Azronger oh thanks and yeah that's wierd

+Azronger in all the new versions of ep5 McDiarmid plays the emperor.

+Boss I know

Azronger ok

I know right? Palpatine's just such a fun character, so evil and expressive, such a dark and manipulating yet charismatic and fun character.

Especially at the scene where he says "Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) " you can tell Ian really enjoys playing such a sly taunting villain lol

+Son Of Montreal Ian McDarmid is British and they practically invented sarcasm. They also invented radar technology during WW2 (Battle of Britain) and invited the Luftwaffe to bomb their cities (after a reprisal raid on Germany) the poor krauts had no idea their bombers were being tracked. Ohh, I'm afraid the radar stations will be quite operational when your friends arrive!

Keiser Sior He didn't say the British had the best radars, he said they invented radars. Maybe he needs to read more but you need to learn how to read.

+Luke Jolly The force is strong within him.

lololol 😁😁😁

He has forseen my young apprentiece

There was the original actor in Empire, and they had originally cast a different actor who had to pull out for health reasons. Clearly the fates were conspiring on Ian McDiarmid's behalf.

I watch old people porn.

@@Robert-tx5mdmaster Robert the sequels are ass what are we going to do?

As patient as the Darkness itself.

Why I respect him.

Yes, they were too close.., that the Jedi never saw it coming - then got analysis paralysis when they did. True chameleon & the best Sith ever. Better than Darth Bane & Darth Plagueis himself. Quality never dies, just gets better with age. Ironic... that the quote: "Your confidence in your friends is yours!" What a double negative 🤔

Definitely agree.

@@rickblaine9670 Damn you’re right

Nathan Lang Same with Ewan MacGregor and Obi-Wan!

ermonski it's all a true story and he actually agreed to play himself? I knew it!

Too bad about that makeup in the prequels. Ian’s performance is flawless

Nathan Lang he played Sidious in Return of the Jedi back in 1983, truly an amazing actor and yet so underrated because Lucas' poor scriptwriting in the form of the prequels.

@@sambrooks4892 yeah it's pretty crazy some people don't realise that Ian mcdiarmid was the emperor in return of the jedi too.. they think he first came on board on episode 1 lol.

Peter Senior no, not really

Except they didn't add " do it" when anakin was going to kill Dukoo

Yea, like Obi Wan.

Yes!

Nothing from episode 2..

Same as DIO

It was illegal to be both at once, but he made it legal.

My favorite is the Mountain Dew one, he always says, "DEW IT"

@@oimate6357 And Handsome Jack

Most impressive.

Him and Ewan McGregor carried the prequels…my god, so many memes, so many wonderful memes…

+Mick van dijk He should have followed it with "So there."

+Mick van dijk Luke: "I'll have faith in yo mama." Sidious: "What was that?" Luke: "I said, Yo mama so fat, Jabba the Hutt said DAYUUUUM." Sidious: "Well your mama's so ugly she put the ug in ugnog." Vader: "Oh YO MAMA FIGHT!"

+Feldmarschall Erwin Rommel dude... why would you write this, this is so cringeworthy.

+Feldmarschall Erwin Rommel You kinda ripped that. I see eveything

Azerty GameHub Well i didn't say it was mine..so I didn't rip anything q.q

JSS Tyger his last sentence

JSS Tyger Palpatine's Last Words!

JSS Tyger i think the best one is: And now, fulfill your destiny.

Rainbow Mustachio His lasts words were:ARRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ik it’s annoying but since it’s canon, his last words were “I AM ALL THE SITH!!!!!!!!!”

Better than how Han got his name Solo... lol

He already had a few choices lined up.

Yeah I just love hownit sounds like he's saying "darth uhhh vader" lmao

Vader is Dutch for father or something and palps knew he was gonna be a dad so it fits

@@itzspicey7173 Yeah Anakin is dutch. Obi Wan is from California.

Faith in yo mama...

Palpatine, say slab amogus backwards

That's when Luke's persistent defiance started to make Sidious loose his cool. The cracks are just starting to show, and Sidious knows something is wrong. This young man does not show fear or respect toward him. No one has stood up to him since, who, Yoda? And when Luke addresses him mockingly as 'your highness', it's a slap in the face: 'your highness' may be appropriate for addressing lesser royalty like princes and princesses, but never for a king and certainly not an emperor. Really outstanding performances by Ian McDiarmid and Mark Hamill in that scene. Of course, McDiarmid went on to do more amazing work as Palpatine/Sidious

@@monsieurcommissaire1628 indeed

@@monsieurcommissaire1628 and Hamill went on to do great work as Jake Skywalker in The Last Jedi. Star Wars is always innovating. Like having the same actor play two different characters across trilogies!

Kinda funny how I keep getting complains about "you left out X scene, how could you?!" and at the same time "This is just all his lines" :)

CaptainArn no, not really

Oh fuck off I obvious wasn't being literal. Grow a brain.

dew it is missing

Yes everything he said is infinitely legendary

?

Lord sidious > Lord Voldemort Sidious is more devious by farrr

What about Sauron? Lol

Groudon The expander of the Landmass oof design wise sauron wins he’s badass looking but palpatine is better still

Lord Voldemort is shit villain. He's not even last 2 weeks when hew take over British magic ministry while Palpatine ruled the galaxy for over 20 years

Yes please. Fortunatly SWTOR has alot of their history :)

I even wanna see the Tragedy of Darth Plageius the Wise

You mean KOTOR? 😂

I really really want to see Traya in a movie though. She's such an interesting character.

@@jakobdesrosiers6704 both

he's creepy as shit but i like him

***** of course he haz fun

+Kurt Crockenberg Um Ian Abercrombie and Tim Curry voiced him in the Clone Wars

The unlimted power line always gets me tho

+BendyPenguin64 Who are you calling a villain? Peace and progress, The Empire forever!

lol

+SAADEM Barodo LMAO

He also took down corruption and brought peace to the galaxy lol

Vote Palpatine! a giving and organised man with experience in -reuniting father and son -employing millions -building stability and a conformed society -leading and chief contributor to daring advanced technology projects, such as the "Deathstar" -fervent devotee to spirituality and religion, the dark side Just a few of the merits and accomplishments under his belt, Don't be mistaken! vote now or it only when it is too late will you understand!

That's one edgy username man

"Daarrrkkk SAaiiddeee"

The Darkseid of the Force!

I brought your likes to 66…. And we shall have… peace

Sounds like a serpent

loved that part

andthenyouwilldie

Enclave Trooper Easily the biggest troll line palpatine has had in any movie, comic, novel etc

I wish he was like that in the prequels.

My favorite quote

a "shit" face xD

Emperor Palpatine EXECUTE ORDER 66

should have cancelled the order

Did you kill all the younglings in there?

I would have framed it

Lucas was also outplanned by Palpatine.

Yea and the black cloak isn't what most people think of when they think of an emperor. Most think of either militaristic uniforms like of German Empire emperors, battle armor or Roman togas of the Roman emperors, or the glamorous robes of Chinese and Japanese emperors. Imagine if Palpatine wore a uniform similar to Grand Moff Tarkin, Palpatine wouldn't be as iconic as a villain I don't think. Palpatine just looks so out of place as a position as emperor that it just works in an unexpected way. With the Force lightning even more so, nobody expected that for their first time watching that at the theater.

@@GothRailfanNope. He is symbolic of a dark wizard which is necessary to keep the fantasy element of Star Wars. Luke is a white knight saving a princess against a dark knight (darth vader) who is manipulated by a dark wizard using mind control spells (psionic powers known as the force). Assisting Luke is a white mage (yoda) and old monk (obiwan who trained vader) who use white magic to bring light to the galaxy to counter the dark. Light wakes Darth from ignorance to fight mind control to fufil a prophecy of the chosen one who defeats the dark wizard. The costume choices are intentional because its a fantasy world. Han Solo the smuggler looks like a cowboy to act as our gateway into the mystical world of star wars because like us he lives in modern time and doesn't believe in magick, preferring to trust his sidearm like modern day people. The magick of the wizard is clearly more powerful than machines and battle droids which are the local peasant workers with low status and low IQ. Star Wars is also a religious movie since the khights adhere to moral codes to never betray the light side guidance or else they become corrupted and fail to keep themselve pure. In martial arts if a warrior betrays the purpose for fighting it makes him rogue and no longer serving the purpose of helping people and defending peace. Like a corrupt cop who no longer has the right to wear the badge. The moral code is what defines knight and so without approval from the light side, you lose your right to be hero now. (just like in religions the high priest needed to be clean to enter the temple where God is to commune with him) It is the moral code that distinguishes light from the dark and if you are seduced by the dark, you lose the spiritual battle and become an agent of the dark. (which symbolises the sinful side of man) Knights would not be virtuous heroes if they did what they want rather than what the light side of the force wants. There is a spiritual connection between the light side and the knights who must do the will of the force. (which is the god of star wars basically - light are good guys and the dark are the bad guys. When light overcomes dark is the balance. Many fans falsely believe light and dark in equal amounts means the force is balanced. (they got the idea from the Yin and Yang symbol) No dark is evil, light is good and good overcoming evil means peace in the galaxy thus balance and people living in harmony together. Like when nature is going according to its order rather than being perverted and used and weaponised to control people. Waterfalls are peaceful because nature created them. But what if you used the nature to make terrible weapons like took wood and stones to make clubs to kill people? That's imbalance since you took nature and perverted it to your selfish will to control and enslave people with it ie the dark side bringing imbalance and disharmony. )

Did you just call vadar ignorant

Vadar was cool

Must not have been a very good teacher, though. The whole idea behind the "rule of two" was that the master would train his apprentice to one day kill him and take his place. Sidious lived a long time and accomplished a lot, but how many apprentices died out from under him? Maul, Tyrannus, Vader... If I were Luke, that would have been more motivation for me to say no thanks to his offer.

jarkoer Yeah, but Sidious planned his apprentices' deaths except for Vader. Although..Vader did kill him so..but I get what you're saying. For the most part though, he knew what he was doing.

He really showed just how evil the Sith could be.

jarkoer The idea behind the apprentice killing the master is that it ensures only the strongest will lead. As for Palpatine, well, I'd have thought his apprentices' deaths would speak out in his favour more than anything. They were merely tools for him from the beginning and he managed to elude all attempts at his life. Except for one thing he didn't "foresee", of course.

Greates Sith is Bane IMO

Ashleigh

Ashleigh also love Palpatine acting salty saying his diss back

Shut up kid! You’re embarrassing me!

Palpatine pauses for a moment as if he's thinking, "That little sh*t...definitely no question that this is Vader's son."

Stfu you're gonna get me fired...😡

Lol it's like a hint of annoyance at Vader.

Cracked me up as well. "Yep. I'm on it."

That must have been a blooper. I don’t remember that in the movie lmao

@@dominicomegon4714lol right

Nope it's you are strooooong with the force or henceforth you shall be known as...darth Vader or rise

+Roronoa Zoro GOOOD! :D

+Roronoa Zoro its: you shall be known as ... Darth..... eeehhh..... ..... VAAADEEERRRR

+mico villena Nah, the best part is : "It is quite safe from your PITIFUL LITTLE BAND" "Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive." Palpatine is such a bawz

+mico villena No, it's "are you threatening me, Master Jedi?.... It's treason, then." Or maybe "Now you will experience the full power of the dark side."

+TheGCritic I know right, that's one of the best ever

DEWWIT

+TheGCritic best quote of any movie ever made

That laugh made my day

@@crisis5a89 still gonna suck though, no saving that garbage they call the sequels.

Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Oh, I'm afraid Palpatine will be quite operational when Episode IX arrives.

He's going to made Kylo Ren do some crazy things

"I love democracy" -Sidius, Darth-

@@Mksterk1998 yeah because der untergang was fiction

He is the greatest villain. Ever

Great comeback!

It reminds me of the Robot Chicken Star Wars yo-mama battle btween Luke and the Emperor.

McTurbo1300 Yeah, it was like the Emperor was trying too hard to think up a good comeback and he just settled for "yeah, well...your faith in your friends is your weakness! So sue me!"

***** haha yup! Also, great profile pic!

Palpatine more TRIGGERED than a feminist

czolgistta lmao 😂 so true

czolgistta Amen, Jesus Is God.

czolgistta he didnt cheat it, he did die, he just beat it while he was dead, and therefore came back, you can't cheat what you beat

😁😆😂🤣😅😆hahahahaoooooh that would have been so funny if they had put that in the movie, that would have been the best movie dialouge ever, George missed a good chance there!!!

He could save others from death AND himself

Luis Polanco Wut

It sounds like you are saying: He is a terrible monster, but you gotta love him for being a terrible monster ;)

In reality there have been many real life men like Palpatine. Hitler and Stalin are two real world examples. Many gangsters also fit the mold as well.

Devastator941 frank underwood...in STAR WARS

Devestator941 It's the fallen nature in all of us...the grotesque beauty of our own selfishness that drives us to do great and monstrous things in the name of power and expansion. It is the very essence of true industry and, unfortunately, the very heart of Lucifer. Demon to some, angel to others...

Darth Sidious is way better than Snoke!

Who?

@Carlo Cirelli r/wooosh

Indeed.

"if used properly" That is the key thing that people have been messing up for millennia. Blind rage against a focused opponent is a major liability.

I mean Luke used blind rage against Vader and it worked.

Dennis Williams Vader held back.

Dennis Williams Vader was also dealing with the rather world-shattering realization that he not only had a daughter but had personally tortured her as well. Sure, he had enormous self-control (probably why he was able to fight as all) but you have to admit that he was probably "slightly" distracted by that realization.

No shit,sherlock

Yea..

And of course he was, he is and he will be forever THE SENATE!!!!

@@papachurchbook Not yet

lol just the way he says it

Dan Iel Sounds like me when a friend tells me something and I pretend to know it

Dan Iel LMFAO

Not sure if it was the penetration or the Emperor knowing this.

My favorite part is when he gets sarcastic and says "I'm afraid the shield generator will be quite operational when your friends arrive..."...smiles....

@@alejandroprado8352 guys great he just keeps on trucking lol

And now , he s return in episode 9

That's awesome! Bwahahaha!

Execute order 66

Fantastic lmao

MiyaSamaCo So true! Vader gets all the credit for being the big bad of Star Wars bits it’s the Emperor and he’s awesome and a great villain. Doesn’t get enough credit.

MiyaSamaCo I wouldn’t call him a Villain. That’s why

Sidious > Vader

Well vaders not really a villain he's kinda a tragic misunderstood hero, the real villain of starwars has always been palpatine.

Hes way better than the over rated darth vader

Until Rise of Skywalker!

@@specialunit0428 a highly funded fan fiction yeah

@@Hopstead Sounds terrible, but I might give it a read :)

@@specialunit0428 I wouldn't. It's so bad that it ruins the entire series besides The Old Republic.

Lol. I know right?

When I was 5 my dad showed me episode 1 first to six so I had know idea it was Palpatine until the third.

yeah sidious was a hidden side of him this entire time but in the first movie there's not much that can tell you that

Unfortunately I couldn't make the video long enough for that. Otherwise I agree

I feel like Vader is the best

Blackwatch Genji in the end, Vader is not a villain. Still the chosen one that brought the end of the sith.

@@nickniehaus1763 Anakin brought peace, not Vader

LeXyZ newsflash, they're the same person

@@nickniehaus1763 No they are not. Are you even a star wars fan? Vader was pretty much a new person and he himself was referring to his old self as "Anakin Skywalker". Anakin came back in the end and brought balance to the force.

The sith life

+ElderSnake90 He realized that but he also knew that he would likely be expelled from the Jedi order for his role in Windu's death. He felt he had no other choice.

***** Yes, that's true. His mental and moral breakdown started there. He always seemed a bit gullible too.

ElderSnake90 he figured at least he's my real friend and will help me. The jedi don't trust me or care about me and will expel me if they learn I'm married.

@@theoc511 The DVD commentary states that he did. It just didn't come across in the movie, unfortunately.

I think he knew but kept his greatest secret even from Anakin.

@@York22 well of course he knew it, he was referring to himself/s

@@ngmajora6986 plagueis knew as well. He learned it from him

Darth Scion would beg to differ

Same lol

Steve Smith a very underrated comment haha

Steve Smith spiritual names I given on the spot by Buddhist masters.

Considering he had Anakin groomed from day 1 to be his apprentice, I’m sure he had twenty odd years to think about what his Sith name would be

Well, by Legends EU at least, he gave him a name after asking Dark Side itself.

​@@TheGoodLuc Probably a pun for "INvader" (since Anakin helps destroy the Jedi from within). Just as Sidious is a pun for "INsidious", and "Tyranus" is a pun for "Tyrant".

"I don't want to hear anymore about obi-wan."

+Bobby Flay I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere

Ewan McGregor, Ian Diarmid and Liam Neeson were all pretty good. I might get slaughtered for saying this, but I believe Hayden Christensen wasn't that bad either.... Just Lucas' fault for making him that whinny character he is potrayed as.

+Dan .B Hayden, when he didn't have dialogue and relied on visual acting was actually compelling..

+Dan .B Agreed except for Ian McKellen. I don't remember him playing the emperor, I'm sure he's good, but I liked Ian McDiarmid better.

He should be a rapper

+Krisb BeatS Young fool...

he was kind of a dick when talking about the 2nd death star being fully operational

Haha same here! At least I'm not alone.

It doesn't help that Ian plays both characters.

+Lex Knight I know right? I figured it out in EP3, when he said: "Do it."

+Lex Knight i knew palpitine was evil when i first saw the movie. and i was A KID

@@CaptainCoolzCT- wait for the Lord Of the Rings Amazon series until we see who Sauron really is.

ROLL IT AGAIN

If Star Wars was a tragedy in the Ancient Greek style of Athenian tragedy, there wouldn't have been a redemption arc for Vader. But that's not to say that Luke and Anakin wouldn't have that father-son attachment. The love and attachment between father and son is all over in Greek literature. Palpatine would've killed Luke, and then probably Vader afterwards, or have Luke kill Vader, and/or all three of them would die.
