So this is the genesis of Project Necromancer? Merely to implement Palpatine's essence transference. This no doubt confirms Snoke's beliefs that he saw the rise and fall of the Empire, yet I still remain steadfast that Palpatine was looking for Exegol before Thrawn joined the Empire. It was stated in Empire's End that Palpatine had been searching for the source of the dark side in the Unknown Regions, many scouts and probe droids dispatched with major losses. Only by Thrawn's map was Palpatine's search narrowed and eventually finding Exegol, as well establishing Imperial rule throughout the Unknown Regions by constructing shipyards and facilities in the many worlds of said region. The only reason why Palpatine's clone body was detorating was because it was imperfect by the time of Return of the Jedi and was not ready, hence why Palpatine used the vials of restoration fluid to stop the detoration. Perhaps the Praetorian Guards that severed the Imperial Remnant and the First Order are a result of the genetic machinations that originated from Tantiss and Exegol afterward, as Snoke himself is the result of Palpatine's pursuit of eternal life.

Ian McDiarmid is one of Star War's most consistent actors. Whether animated or live-action, he always puts on a fantastic peformance

Ian Mcdermid will pass on into legend as the TRUE dark lord of the Sith 😈

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… unnatural

Ian McDiarmid NEVER fails to deliver a PERFECT performance when it comes to the Emperor. I will be forever grateful for everything he has done for us ❤

Bruce Wayne: You don't cheat death Palpatine, you whimper in fear of it.

I SERIOUSLY LIKE how Hemlock refers Emperor as Emperor. In my headcanon Palpatine and Empire as a whole started to discourage the use of his name as a form of elevating emperor above regular beings, hence he is only referenced by the title in the movies. And as time goes by regular people would also know him as emperor This headcanon was broken when in rebels and other shows he is refered to as emperor palpatine. But hemlock is old school. "it serves a higher purpose, Emperors purpose" /Yes, emperor" SO COOL!!!

I'm very glad they brought in Ian McDiarmid to voice The Emperor. Jimmi Simpson does such a great & creepy job voicing Doctor Hemlock.

The Imperial royal guard looks really nice.

I think I find Bad Batch is the darkest TV show of all Filoni's Star Wars animated shows because not only it represents Galactic Empire's reign, but it probably shows something sinister, more than just about forsaking the clones and Imperial reign; Hemlock's cruel and sadistic experiment on the clones, as well as Sith and Imperial diabolical project, the Necromancer, so I wonder if both of these are the reason why Bad Batch is darker than Rebels. The dark atmosphere and the lighting remind me of Call of Duty World at War's where it represents the cruel, brutality, and destruction of the Second World War.

I was literally thinking to myself earlier today and yesterday. I want to see all the Palpateen scenes in a row, you made my dream come true you are my hero lol

Man the VA cast of the bad batch is just top notch

Is it just me or at 1:16, was Palpatine smiling at his Clone!?

I know some fans are not pleased that recent stories such as The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch are connecting the dots between the sequel trilogy and the rest of the franchise. However, I am beyond thrilled that we are getting more stories that connects the history and lore of the franchise. Even before Disney bought Star Wars, I learned that the more plot holes a Star Wars movie has, the more opportunities we get to receive new Star Wars content. It won't be perfect because nothing ever is, but it will still be a welcome treat that I hope keeps coming.

Thanks @Cirespeed for these scenes. So cool and eerie to see Palpy's Sith eyes.

1:37 It almost sounded like two voices were speaking at once like when Snoke spoke and Palpatine was the one speaking for him on Exegol.

“Project Necromancer” aka Sidious’ goal to rule the galaxy into perpetuity. Palpatine was an old man when becoming Emperor. Coveting the Kaminoin technology to create clones, and his desire to master all aspects of the Force. Everyone was simply a pawn in his long game. It’s so satisfying to know your fan theory was correct. 🙏🏾

There should have been a final scene with Palpatine at the end of the series, this is how I see it going. {Palpatine after learning if what occurred on Weyland.} Palpatine: "Doctor Hemlock has failed me, I am....most displeased." Tarkin: "I warned you of the risks of such massive expand my Lord, the time of Cloning is over, Project Stardust should be our main focus". Palpatine: "Yes, there is nothing vital to the future of this Empire Moff Tarkin, whatever is needed to complete the project, you shall have it". Tarkin: " I shall spare no expense nor resource your majesty, however I suggest we promote Commander Krennic to Deputy Director of AWR and have him oversee the day-to-day operations of the project, if only to appease his ego and keep him productive". Palpatine: "Agreed, but never take your eyes off him OR the project, I will not have Stardust turning into the same type of failure as Hemlock's project". Tarkin bows low and the transmission ends (Palpatine makes another call right after) Palaptine: "Captain Brendol Hux my young friend, I have a great task for you" Brendol Hux: "What is your will my Emperor" Palpatine: "There is a certain project I need you to oversee, one of vital importance to the future of this Empire, it involves cloning". Brendol Hux: "Forgive my lord but I was under the impression that the Empire would no longer be using clone soldiers to fill it's trooper ranks, I know I myself have discussed with you my own theories on raising recruits and conscripts from mainly childhood or birth to produce the ideal soldier." Palpatine: "Your views and theories have merit to my future plans however now is not the time. The project I speak of is of a deeper more "complex" version of cloning. You will understand the full scope all in due time, however your task is merely to guard and oversee the project, the scientist I have entrusted this project to will handle the intricate details, research and experiments". Hux: "As you command my lord" Palpatine: "I will reassign you and the project to a secret location deep in the Unknown Regions, I have a "native" of that part of the galaxy who has recently begun helping the Empire to chart out the mysterious realm, this location will be your own base for a time. The project shall remain but I will reassign you back to your duties in Imperial Space." Hux: "Will I be meeting this lead scientist soon?" Palpatine; "She awaits you here on Coruscant before you both depart" Hux: "As you wish my lord, I shall return at once. (Bows) Transmission ends (Palpatine turns to Dr. Scalder) Palpatine: "This setback will not hinder my designs, Stardust is merely meant to be a symbol, Necromancer is a vital project, the failure at Tantiss was Hemlock's not yours, we shall see if YOU can do better". Scalder: "I understand my Emperor, I will work diligently to restart and finish the project, rest assured I will NOT make Dr. Hemlock's mistakes" Palpatine: "You had better not. However, rest assured Brendol Hux will ensure the security and secrecy of the project. I saw potential in him as Junior Officer at the start of the Clone War, he has proven himself time and again and risen in the ranks swiftly these last 5 years. Scalder: "As you wish" Palpatine: "Come doctor, we have much to discuss, and moreso when Hux arrives".

Excellent video on the new bad batch star wars with the amazing emperor palpatine with his amazing royal guards 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I know Palpatine is important, but anyone notice the Zillo Beast? 0:58 The sound and the shadowy figure as it continues?

Ian will always be the Emperor no matter what! I wish we got more screen time of him!

No one csn replace him

1:29 doesn’t matter what you do or how many clones you make up yourself as long as there’s someone standing against you the Empire will never have a future in the galaxy

and yet Tarkin diverted all the funds to Death Stark

Palpatine is the greatest villain in Star Wars. He’s awesome at age 17 being recruited by Darth Plagueis & he’s awesome decades later as Emperor, attempting to recreate the eternal life technique Vitaite found & practiced millennia prior. Definitely a bummer tho, how lack luster the conclusion to this plot thread was played out in the sequel trilogy…

I always thought darth Sidious was going to be the main antagonist for the series because he still responsible for how he caused all the clones to turn against the Jedi while Some tried to fight back.

Of course, they're still gonna try to "fix" the Disney trilogy by forcing what should've been in the sequels into the series.

How can you put these videos on KZfaq without getting a worldwide copyright block?

So it seems the sequels are being cut off as a diseased limb is

Creating supreme leader snoke?🤔

Wanna see Palp fight someone.

Do you guys think he will get a lot of screentime this season after episode 8?

They need to refer to him as Emperor Sidious instead since Darth Sidious is his true identity. In the name of the Galactic Empire he shall be known as Emperor Sidious.

Setting up sequel trash smh

Spoiler alert! You can skip the series after seeing these.
