No doubt....both characters are featured heavily in the Plagueis novel and other books.

The best thing about Doriana is that he doesn't know. Also we dont really know much about him after formation of the Empire

Probably not part of canon yet

I love how Sate Pestage would have no problem standing up to Palpatine in the beginning and especially how he came into the full fold (with an auto blaster)

MMMmm I LIKE satay, nutty!

That’s essentially what the Plagueis novel is

Sheev: A Star Wars Story

I’d love to see this also. But as it doesn’t have pew pews it most likely wouldn’t get done. People called Andor slow, and that was as politically charged as we’ve seen since the prequels

Yeah read the plagueis novel

The prequels have entered the chat.

@BL OMEGALUL OW SEED 😄

And Allen is so darn cute, too x

Yea, I was wondering why he wasn’t mentioned

Was this sequel retcon? I don’t recognise the name.

yeah gallius rax was quite probably the closest to palpatine since palpatine had basically raised him since he was a child

@@adamross6474 more from the aftermath trilogy of books, those that introduced Cobb vanth, Mr bones and Rae Sloane as well

The new trilogy is terrible, hence why it was not mentioned. Legends is canon.

Why?

@@jakestakes9075 I'll have to rewatch the episode to be certain but I think he disliked the Death Star because it seemed more like a trophy than a competent military machine.

@@jacoblansman8147It was also under the control of Krennic who in the catalyst book and in rogue one had a rivalry with Tarkin.

He says the the tie fighter program was more effective in thrawn: alliances I think

There were massive delays and cost overruns with the DS, making it akin to a massive vaporware project, Tarkin was finally impressed with after it was completed and destroyed Jedha.

Council*

@@NotNormal654 stupid autocorrect

One of, not the only

But the more I know of him, the less I'd call him an Imperial. He's more of a Chiss exchange student. And no that term is deliberate.

@@Haloguy3959 perhaps, but who’d get your nod? Vader? Tarkin? Peitt or Veers?

@@sidious187 None of those guys. Vade is an enforcer, he makes sure things are done however he shouldn't be the one deciding what needs to be done. Tarkin is a bloody thirsty old guy that loves to daydream about beating his students and killing his coworkers. The only reason why Peitt wasn't killed off early by Vader is because he had a bigger idiot around to blame. Veers is a military man, not a leader or politician. In fact now that I think of it, Thrawn wouldn't make for a good leader of a faction because he's not good at politics.

@@Haloguy3959 It’s an interesting point. War is merely a continuation of politics by other means, adhering to von Clausewitz, but Thrawn was never put in a time of peace to lead. Being as analytical and intelligent as he was, though, I don’t find it difficult to believe he could have led a revived Empire with enough deftness to build a lasting position. If nothing else, his iron grip on power and unparalleled ability to multitask and play the long game (with Palpatine as the only competition in that regard) would ensure his limited political skills would not come up as often as they otherwise would. After all, you don’t need to be capable of handling political infighting if all of your potential rivals are either obedient, fearful, or dead.

There are other channels covering it well enough

Palpatine has greater grasp on future goals, putting unrelated pieces together. Tarkin's human supremacy is a tactically exploitable weakness because he's choosing ignorance and he's not very nuanced with his political appearance. Fine as a Sith trait but considering Damask was a Muun and the entire grand plan involved working with many different species and being a two-faced bastard i think Palpatine is the superior choice.

Probably still Palpatine

@@BlankBlonk tarkin comes from a much more prominent family on eriadu

Plagueis would still choose palpatine as he was imperative to the grand plan. Read the Plagueis novel, it explains even how palpatine came to take maul and basically all the galactic dealings which lead to the prequels, put into place by Plagueis and later helped by a young palpatine, before he killed him just as he became supreme chancellor.

Still have my surplus 1911, was my best friend as an infant lol

@@Colonel_Overkill As long as you keep it unloaded, it's the perfect counterpart to a teddy bear. solid when the bear is too soft, cool when the bear gets too hot. It really is a great treasure for young children.

@@charlottewolery558 keep cocked and locked, baby. They dont make grip safeties and thumb safeties for nothing lol

I can and I am It definitely wasn't meant to be misread that way

palpatine is a sadist. so torture and murder is in his character

@@DeathScepter Hey not all sadists are torturers and murderers. There's a sexual side to it that's much more intimate and passionate.

@@TheFirstCurse1 i know and I will not be surprised with Sidious with the intimate and passionate for he enjoys hurting people

Yes

Let's not start with questioning numbers and logistics in star wars.

Nah. The way the clones thought didn’t with with the empire mindset. They started showing that in the bad batch too how the clones won’t lie no matter who tells them to…

Admiral and General were the same rank just Admiral was the navy rank and General was the army rank.

But yes clones were allowed to be officers and the highest officer rank for clonws was Marshall Commander

It's maul, just maul. As for Dooku, nobody knew him as a sith, or at least nobody besides the Jedi cared because the rest of the galaxy saw the sith and jedi as warrior monks and did not know much beyond that. Count Dooku was a politician 1st, Sith 2nd. He never let the dark side consume him and used it as a tool. He is more of a "gray jedi" imo.

@@OzzianmanSadly not correct here. Dooku embraced the less sadistic parts of a sith like Palpatine did but remember he was only an apprentice. He was consumed by the idea of ruling the galaxy by Palpatines side and wanted greater power. He used force lightning which required a user to tap into the dark side, he did not have this ability as a jedi and needed to tap into the dark side to do so. Dooku would also murder tons of jedi during the Clone Wars such as Yaddle and Sifo Dyas. Dooku also stole a lot from his own people and CIS systems as highlighted in Episode 3 of the bad batch. A grey jedi would be someone like Ashoka Tano, Quinlan Vos or even Qui Gon Jinn one could argue. All three disagreed with the ideals and principles of the Jedi but still viewed the dark side as a greater evil. Ashoka Tano is an excellent example as she used her abilities for good, still used her emotions despite the jedis interesting view on that but did not consider herself a jedi as she was vested in revenge against Vader. Quinlan is a great example of another grey jedi as his beliefs and the way he acted went against the jedi code and jedi etiquette! He used the dark side but ultimately returned to balance when saved by Ventress. Qui Gon Jin a man who found the jedi to be crippling themselves and was sick of the Senate took a neutral approach to the Force which served him well as he went on to teach Obi Wan and Yoda how to become force ghosts. Overall I can see why you think Dooku could be considered a grey jedi but as soon as he fell under the apprenticeship o Sidious any idea of neutrality was gone. He was a brilliant character but a terrible person to his own people, the jedi and ultimately was happy to betray Sidious and rule the galaxy.

@@vexi_7 I saw episode 3 of the bad batch as excessive taxation of Serrano & other CIS planets more than theft. As in Civil forfeiture or armies foraging in conquered territory. Legal. Theft is illegal. Dooku was the law on Serrano. He didn't steal squat. Dooku believed that the ends justified the means. Sure he'd take everything from a family on Serrano, leaving them to starve. It's legal taxation, the planet is in a war for freedom! Sacrifices must be made! The new order will right all the wrongs and be worth all the blood. Can be morally wrong and still not be theft. The rebels in the OG trilogy are terr0wrists and lawbreakers of the most extreme measure. TLDR Theft is unlawful taking. Dooku was the law on Serrano. Therefore he did not steal. Dooku failed the planet and people he was responsible for by LOSING the war.

Hopefully Emperor Pupatine has no successor to follow thru with his vision of the Russian World.

No longer canon (thanks Disney).
