Palpatine's Rise to Power

This is a trailer-style compilation video illustrating Darth Sidious's brilliant rise to power and the seduction of Anakin Skywalker to the dark side. Clips are from all six movies but mostly Episode's I-III, there are also some pictures from the Expanded Universe in there.
Hope you enjoy :)
(I recommend headphones when watching this video)
UPDATE: The Expanded Universe images in this video are no longer officially canon since the Disney takeover :(. However, in my little world I still consider most of the EU or "Legends" content that happens before Episode VI as "pretty much valid." Also, if Episode VIII reveals that Snoke is indeed Darth Plagueis, I might have to change the title of this video!

He also saw first hand the danger the trade federation can pose. He put forward the motion to give palpatine emergency powers, which was voted on and won. Jar Jar pretty much gave palpatine the power to begin the clone wars, and start the downfall of the jedi and the republic.

And Snoke is NOT Darth Plaugies, despite How It Should Have Ended telling people otherwise. Fact, I stand with that decision the director said.

There's more of a complex side of politics as compared to the black and white in the original trilogy, and this perfectly captures how a cunning politician pulled all the strings leading up to the war. The argument that the politics are boring is old. You can't have a war without politics. Also these politics led to some of the best battles in the entire series with the Jedi and Clones.

@@Gu53cUa dude, but do you seriously not see why they bash two prequels? The first of two prequels had no main focus on specific characters, And both were full of pointless cgi and had about 70 min of council speech altogether written by a terrible dialogue writer George Lucas. The reason this video makes prequel look good is BECAUSE THEY GOT RID OF 4 HOUR WORTH OF POINTLESS SCENES. Also, every adults by now knows how bad Lucas is at taking scenes that are not fight related. The lightings, camera angle, a SUBTLE messages conveyed by dialogues can deepen both the characters and the plot of the movie, but none of the prequels had that. Take an example of a conversation between quaigon and child anakin skywalker. After camera focuses on a cgi animal lazily yawning for some reason..., anakin just blurts out he built c3po. Quigon never asked that, so why did he suddely say this?

@morbius109 2 жыл бұрын

By the time the Jedi were aware the man who had been running the Republic for a decade was the Sith Master they had been seeking, it was far too late. All that time, all throughout the Clone Wars and for years beforehand, he had been playing both sides against the middle. Every maneuver, every stratagem fit perfectly into place. The galaxy was his, and nobody could stop him. The Emperor always has been and always will be the greatest villain in movie history, manipulative on a level that even Machiavelli couldn’t have imagined possible. Ian McDiarmid IS Palpatine, and nobody else will ever do the character justice.

@Manuel-km9fl Жыл бұрын

Most definitely. Unfortunately the Jedi were way too dedicated to fighting with the Republic in the clone wars and fighting the Trade Federation/Separatists that they didn’t even realize that their enemy the Sith Lord was blinding them. Though they could sense that they’re was a Sith Lord to be caught, they thought that he was with the Separatist, which at the time he also was, and thinking that Count Dooku was their enemy but he was just a mislead Jedi, but even he knew that the Republic was being controlled by Sidious/ Palpatine. Basically the only Jedi aware of the possibility of corruption was Qui Gon, Dukoo, and even Yoda. Qui Gon would of helped Anakin, Obi Wan, and the rest of the Jedi along with the Jedi council to be more aware of their surroundings. Imagine the turn around of the entire situation if Qui Gon was never killed.

You just don't get that nuance in the Disney films. The parallels between Caeser and Palpatine are amazing. The end of the Roman Republic and the dawn of the empire is mirrored brilliantly here, with even Caeser's death alluded to when the Jedi discover Palpatine is a Sith Lord and try and kill him. The only difference is the Brutus type figure of Anakin has a last minute change of heart and stops the assassination. It's absolutely brilliant.

George Lucas is clearly a student of history. Palpatine seems to be a well put together combination of Hitler, Stalin, Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus, Caligula and Diocletian. George also seems to have mirrored historical events when writing about Palpatines plans, for example, Order 66 is an obvious copy of the Night of the Long Knives. This is very effective, as it makes the events in an otherwise unrealistic fantasy land seem very plausible. The fans who criticised the prequels obviously knew Fuck all about the world around them to not see that

Palpatine was a clever evil politician. He know who the dumb politicians were, he knew who the smart politicians were. He knew he had to get Padme out of the way so someone else would take her place in the senate (which happened to be Jar Jar). That's why Dooku was assigned the task of killing Padme. He also needed Qui-Gon out of the way because Qui-Gon would have caught on to the deception. That's why Darth Maul was important.

I never initially knew that Palpatine and Darth Sidious were one and the same. What an amazing villain he is...

@@darkomarkovic9323 Disney just used lazy writing. Palpatine in the prequels is a more impressive villain becasue he's actually smart and knows what he's doing. Disney made him a cliche cartoon villain by artificially making him "stronger" but taking away what made him interesting in the first place. He could still pull the strings behind the scenes without letting people know he is involved or that he is even alive, like he supposedly was doing before by using Snoke, but instead he just goes and tells the whole galaxy "sup bitches? I'm back! Try to stop me! MUAHAHAHAHA!" like an idiot. Yeah, he has a large army, but where the hell did he get it from? In the prequels it makes sense because he is the Chancellor of the Republic so he has control of the Republic's army and he is also secretly Darth Sidious which means he controls the Separatists as well, but in the sequels he just has a whole bunch of upgraded imperial Star Destroyers that popped out of nowhere plus loads of people to serve as crews on those ships and soldiers. Why does he have that? Because he's the villain and he needs minions, that's why. He doesn't earn his status as an awesome villain, the writers just count on the name "Palpatine" to be a good enough reason to do whatever they want with the character. The whole sequel trilogy is just Disney milking Star Wars name recognition for money without doing any of the things that made people like Star Wars in the first place. If Palpatine was always the kind of character he is in ROS, he wouldn't be as popular and memorable as he is. None of the characters feel like they're done right, even the ones that were created specifically for the sequels, becasue the whole time you can see even the writers themselves don't agree with each other on what each character should be like and where the story should go. There is no coherent narrative to this trilogy, they just made things up on the fly and the result is a total mess that doesn't make any sense. There are fan-fiction stories with better writing and more consistency with the source material than the sequel trilogy. Disney Star Wars is bad fan-fiction.
