It's Ironic how Anakin always felt that Obi Wan was holding him back. Then he gets a new Master Darth Sidious who actively held him back.

[@krxwnvxk3432]

there's a lot of irony in Star Wars. You have to understand the rule of 2. Vader now being only a shell of what he would have been, he will never become stronger than Sidious due to his injuries on Mustafar. No Sith Lord would give any useful knowledge to his apprentice that could be used to an advantage when Vader will never be stronger than Sidious. The whole point is the apprentice becomes stronger than the Master and kills him to take his place, then find an apprentice to repeat the process. Seeing as Vader can never become powerful enough to kill his master on physical abilities alone. and there's nobody around stronger than Vader for him to be replaced with (until Luke was found) that Vader only can beat Palpatine by out smarting him and that's near impossible with his precognition and Vader lost his when he took the L to Obi-Wan. Vaders story is a tragedy cuz he would've easily destroyed Sidious if he never would've lost his limbs and got burned. But the path he took only cursed him more than he believed to be as Anakin.

[@Kingstevedaboss]

@@krxwnvxk3432 Well from my knowledge of Star Wars lore: Vader still had the capability to or already did surpass Sidious. He did become weaker but it was due to his self limiting belief that came with his injuries. Sidious kept all his secrets of the force to keep Vader from surpassing himself because he felt that Vader was no longer worthy because of the fact that he would never reach his full potential.

I wonder if there would be a way to extract modiclorians from someone (though magic or science) and put them in yourself, making your ability to harness the force greater - more power.

@1:39:14 I honestly believe that if Dooku had chosen to overthrow Sidious after he dueled Yoda to a stalemate he could have beaten the Sith Master. The news of Dooku being able to contend with Yoda put enough fear in Sidious for Dooku to use as an advantage. And with him being very powerful around this time I believe if his timing was on point he could have overthrown Sidious, but only in this moment. The problem is Dooku was too loyal and waited too long to find other means to try to overthrow his master. Had he took the initiative to do it at that time I'm positive that he could've killed Sidious if he attacked him the correct way and pushed a duel. When the fear was stricken into Sidious would have been the perfect time for Dooku to engage him, and I believe it would have been a different outcome for Dooku and the galaxy. That's the reason why Sidious knew he had to keep his apprentice busy and ware him down so he couldn't think clearly enough to plot, and his confidence would be worn down as well.

[@stephenkuchler951]

You don’t really think sidious feels fear. Especially from Dooku who he played like a fool

[@krxwnvxk3432]

@@stephenkuchler951 I wouldn’t say fear but he was amazed that he was able to duel Yoda to a standstill. I only say Dooku could’ve beaten Sidious had it been strictly dueling and right timing. There’s no way he could beat him unless he gets to him before Sidious could just overpower him in the force which would happen. But if Dooku had the chance to evolve and if he had beaten anakin in their final duel I’m sure it would’ve sent chills to Sidious in terms of dueling. But I think he would’ve reached ROTS Sidious power level had he lived longer and if he chose to fully tap into the dark side. But I think that range of power would’ve been his top potential. But no he couldn’t contend with Sidious in ROTS overall.

[@pepperVenge]

George Lucas said Vader had about 80% of Palpatines power. He also said Vader lost half of his potential when he lost all his limbs on Mustifar. If we use midichlorian counts as a basis for measuring force power, then this would suggest Vader measured at 16,000 midichlorians, if Palpatine was at 20,000. But here's where I get confused. 16,000 is not half of what Anakin was revealed to have in The Phantom Menace. Obi-Wan said "over 20,000." This would suggest that half that potential is 10,000. Meaning Palpatine is at 12,000. If half of Vaders potential was actually 16,000, then his full potential would have been 32,000. This would have allowed him to dominate every other force user with ease, even Palpatine. I would sermise that a possible explanation is that as we grow, our midichlorian count grows with us. So an 8 year old boy on Tatooine with 20,000 midichlorians could have far more by the time they reach adulthood. This is conceivable since ones midichlorian count is directly tied to living cells. The more living cells we gain as we grow, the more midichlorians we gain as well. This is why Anakin lost half of his potential; half of his living body was severed from him on Mustifar (save his left arm which was severed on Geonosis). With half of his living body gone, he lost half of his affinity to the Force.

Clouding the Jedi ability to sense him.

[@ChristopherJames1993]

Yeah like when Yoda said "the shroud of the Dark Side has fallen." I was just thinking to myself "mate, its never been lifted." Sidious is right when he says that the Jedi are limited in their force powers. There are no limits for a Sith.

[@CharlieHepp]

sixteen episodes work together the 2 finale episodes On the whole, I definitely felt this season was not only good but also an excellent improvement over season 1. We got a lot more intriguing stuff such as the phasing out of the Clones, the Bad Batch figuring out what to do, the potential of a Clone Rebellion, etc. Also, limiting the guest characters was appreciated too, and even with the guests used such as Senator Chuchi, they were used to great effect. So yeah, I greatly enjoyed this season and look forward to season 3 (which I suspect could be the final one ends with a plot twist and leaves the next season in so many directions Tech's sacrifice was powerful, moving, and unexpected. I do however think One of my favorite seasons of Star Wars. Everything hit for me and it all paid off in the end Not enough people recognize the incredible character writing we have in star wars now. From season 7 of CW to the end of TBB s2, the squad has evolved so much. Not to mention all the other stories like Mando whose characters have majorly evolved. And of course Andor with its deeply nuanced approach. Some people see star wars as a fun action franchise, which it is, but it is also so much more and should be recognized for that Overall I did enjoy this season, definitely the best of the two so far. I think Season 3 will be great with what they have set up. We got a lot of good character development, emotion, fun stories, new worlds and characters, and a lot of good action. For what this show is on its own following this squad of characters I think they are handled well. I am personally on the side of seeing each episode for what they are and not as "filler" because it didn't follow some main storyline. Each episode follows our Batch even if some might be lesser than others. I am ready for Season 3 though and we'll see if they announce it at Celebration here soon I hope it all comes together in a satisfying third season and maybe a finale Bad batch season 2 is like when it's good, it's GREAT. Crosshair had almost ALL the best episodes and when it was bad it was horrible filler. I'm just surprised the bad batch didn't have an episode where they were doing Sid's laundry or grocery shopping. In my opinion, this show is so disappointing. Why are all of the most important character decisions off-screen? Cody leaves the Empire, Echo leaves the group to go with Rex, and the Batch leaves Cid, all of these are off-screen and irritate me I hope they cut out all those unnecessary filler episodes next season.

The story of the Emperor and the clones is almost mythical. Added to that of Darth Vader and his judicious prosecution of the fallen Jedi and the beginning of the red dawn as a supply train from the clown wars, finding themselves with work, with the end of the clone wars. Eventually, with the red dawn doing the same as the clone army, as some of the fallen Jedi became liabilities. With this the only battle of the rebel alliance from the trade confederacy and the now abolished slave trade, as droids were to now take place. With a land battle, newly rebellion would wage a decisive battle as the clones are not infinite, and this knowledge was common to the Jedi, so the now Imperial fleet would be still weak as most have been sent to scrap. The Rebellion go to planet and attempt to occupy the moon to the planet of the main imperial fleet. With the engagement met by the imperial force against armed assault droids and fighters, vanguarded by Jedi, there wasn't much to do but hold as best they can. The clones, with experience against force users and unconventional tactics hold but are trapped. This is when the Rebel armored tanks are met by Vader. His personal stormtrooper unit with him are able to stop the assault force. But only, the destruction of the Jedi led armored assault halted the ex-confederates. With fresh combat droids being deployed, the Emperor lands, and with his guard, push the balance of the battle as he make contact while encircled with Vader, but with dark energy everywhere, from screaming to broken droid, the unleash a storm as the stormtroopers and crimson guard back the Imperial Army. With Shield up and red backing the begin to push. With lightening tearing some fallen Jedi and Vader lifting and crushing other Jedi and droids nearing only to crumple. The trooper fire shows no mercy. This is the former combination Kenobi and Skywalker units of the 325th and 505th, until the reform of the imperial forces, after the mutiny of the Jedi commanders and order 66. There is no love lost for the now human, opposition, as these were the banking clans and planet partners. One being alderaan.. With precision and pure hostile intent, the Jedi warriors fall with the power of the Emperor and Vader, the succumbing to stormtrooper fire in the midst of battle, until the droids were passed and the trade confederacy was left. At this point, the stormtroopers we're taking radio comms bots and shutting down units. With the trade confederacy routed, the losses are considerate. But all are in awe of Vader's as Vader looks on to Palpatine throwing lightening. He points with his saber to the troop transports departing. They have won the day. An Emperor and a Lord Protector, with a public opinion with them, have culminated. The troops from the army begin to say, to the emperor. ✌️ @disney

[@freshjnew]

The big Kuba I get from all of this is that had Sidious actually trusted Vader and helped him grow he would've been a trustworthy ally to the end. But he treated him the same way the jedi council did. Withholding information, refusing to train him in the greater scope of the force. Limiting him to being a mindless hammer much like the council. He would've been the most powerful sith, and with his views to eradicate the jedi in their entirety, he would have done so before any of then could sway his juvenile mind back against the emperor. He just wanted actual friends.

[@PaletteBegonia]

Palps character is one of the things I’d really like too see in a “What if” for starwars. There’s so many strings he was pulling behind the scenes and should just one of them go wrong it could of ruined everything or just exposed him heavily. I think had anakin actually won his last duel with obi then we may have seen the emperor act differently , actually treating him like an heir so too speak as that’s literally what he is.. 🤷🏽‍♂️ because really Anakin did win , he completed his task in the form of killing out all the Jedi basically single handed and the younglings… he went literal god mode for a moment and killed ALL in his path except his old master and a handful of others who either escaped somehow or just were of world in active service . Obviously sideous wanted too humiliate him over how extreme his loss was too his old master but like I said , what if ? Perhaps palps would have acted differently🤷🏽‍♂️ he still woulda dished out pain and punishment and being dark Vader would kinda want that.. insuring the best of his abilities and dark places too pull from when he needs them most.

[@mattm1554]

I think had Anakin won against obi wan, and sidious not actually help him save padme Anakin would have killed him in the early days while he was most powerful with the force and sabre. Palps wanted a weakened Anakin so he could control him he had no interest in a heir because he planned to be his own heir he just needed a subordinate that was strong enough to not be fucked with by anyone but not strong enough to fuck with him either.

[@charalampostsakirides-pala2761]

1:53:00 or thereabouts, concerning the apparent contradiction with Darth Sidious using his lightsaber even though he said the Sith had outgrown the need for lightsabers. I myself believe that he was indeed meant to be saying he was too powerful for a lightsaber, in the sense that he didn't technically need the weapon to survive and win in a duel with another Force User or any situation really. This he proved with Yoda. Less so with Mace Windu, so there's that for him not being arrogant or open to weakness. So take the Sith Lord's words with a grain of salt or a million. Obvi. As to why he used the lightsaber in situations where it wasn't apparently warranted or needed, except maybe in some way in his mind, there's another angle to consider: a lightsaber, much like a sword historically, is a lethal weapon, yes, but it's also a status symbol, a mark of distinction from the crowd. In a Galaxy of untold billions of inhabitants, 10,000 Jedi is less than a drop in the Ocean. One Sith Master? Unique. So even in this use he is making a statement while also mocking the Jedi. Killing a woman is trivial to a Sith Lord. Fighting Jedi isn't. But in either case he needs to establish his authority as the Master Sith. So he performs a task menial to him with th e authority the saber grants him in his sick mind, thus displaying his authority while also demeaning the weapon. Despite what George Martin might have you believe in Chapter 1 of ASOIAF, it wasn't the best war swords or ceremonial Household swords that were used for beheadings, but specialised swords that would be next to useless for most functions of an actual sword in the battlefield, except as a glorified cleaver. Brutal, effective and very lethal, yes, but nothing of the delicacy or status of a blade. It's like getting a ceremonial sword handed to you upon being knighted by the king of Great Britain and then proceed to clean your toenails and cut up a roast or clean potatoes with it in front of him (Very based, btw, whoever does this might even make me believe in heroes again... xDDDDDDD). As for the Force User, he greets an opponent in a duel by opening it with his ineffectual jewel of a weapon, mocking them and conducting psychological war too - as in: "see this expensive, delicate, decorative thing that flies in the face of all you believe, in material, colour, usage and style? It marks me as your top enemy and your top danger, your nightmare - and not even your equal, as you're probably used to being looked upon by other lightsaber users. I am using it and am bored already. If you lose to it, you weren't even worth a display of my real power. If you best it, big deal. Years of training and honing your abilities in lightsaber combat? They mean nothing to me. I don't need a lightsaber to crush you. But I might as well toy with you with a mockery of one." A paragraph for nothing more than the very first openning move in a duel. Not bad for one of the greatest Monsters in the SWU, I'll give the writers that. ;)

I think that it is important that in the novel Darth Plageus, the dark lord of the Sirh (Plageus) wanted, or at least insinuated that the rule of two was antiquated and no longer necessary.

[@matt_9112]

Well the main purpose of the rule of two was to defeat/eradicate the Jedi. Order 66 could well be played out with him still alive and Palpatine being chancellor and doing as he did. Anakin being either just a tool (probs how he sold it to Palps) or meant to replace Palps as his "workhorse"/more of an enforcer (the actual plan). Plageius actively worked on immortality, and I don't buy Palps following the rule of two and actually training any apprentice (unmamed chosen one or not) to the point he'd be able to surpas him after the Jedi were no more. Lay back, become immortal and rule for eternity with a sufficiently strong, but not too strong enforcer, replace as needed.

@Matt_91 Great reply and very insightful! I still need to read the book of sith and the book of jedi. The Plagueus novel portrayed a young Palpatine quite well I though. A little weasel suckling at his rich family, getting away with things no one else would and probably having some inkling about the force he had before being trained. In the novel, I also found it interesting that palps master treated him more like an equal than any other sith that I know of. And of course Palp turned out to be the galaxies greatest gaslight!

you deserve more views fella @i feel your anger it gives you focus" ;)

[@Patrickstar12346]

He definitely pulling that thing out for yoda that's for sure 😂😂

[@MrTheHeadlines]

I wonder if sidious played a role in anakins mothers death like had the tusken raiders kidnap and torcher her through a 3rd party which he knew that would also help him with using his anger ultimately

[@ejandrews3065]

Definitely not beyond the realm of possibility considering all that he is capable of

[@MrTheHeadlines]

@@ejandrews3065 that’s all I’m sayin like he planned everything from the very beginning I think that was part of the plan

[@captaincooool]

never thought of that before but now when you think about it, it almost seems like a certainty with Sidious's way of planning off his foresight.

[@steve8450]

i think that would have come out in the comics or somewhere else, already, since it would make for a great story, showing vader having to accept that with seething rage

[@jefferysmith4753]

Torture not torcher...

[@charlieclark9552]

And do you know the worst part the most terrible thought, Palpatine was the good guy The jedi are evil the sith are a persecuted religion And honestly I believe everything I just comment and I'm not lost no, I... am... Awake

could've done some of the transitions abit more smooth, sometimes it cuts of mid-sentence, and goes straight into something entirely different. but all in all, super video 🤌🤌🤌😎

Maul lived, so it was still Mauls to wield As long as a Sith, ruled Mandalore all was in the way of the Darkside, also, in case of revolt he could invade Mandalore and it's 10,000 neutral systems as a threat, also he allowed Maul to live to see if he was more worthy than Darth Vader and constant reminder to Vader that even crippled Maul ruled a potential threat to his position, so he didn't openly plot against Sidious. No matter what he threw at Maul, he always escaped and grew stronger. Maul controlled the Underworld, so Sidious knew how it was run and could still continue to train maul should Vader actually fall

[@rsktransport]

I always kinda thought that Old Palpi let Maul live and then escape so that he could then follow him to Mother Talzin whom he really wanted dead. Without her he just didn’t see Maul as much of a real threat. Seems the most plausible and was heavily implied if not downright stated in the comics.

[@nodatastored684]

@@rsktransport Maul, was his Pride and joy and proof he was on the right path, after so many years once Maul Ruled Mandalore and it's 10,000 neutral systems... same way Ahsoka was Anakin's.... Once captured Maul escaped again and again It's not like Talzin left Dathomir much ... Where else would she be and Sidious trained with her

[@cameronmurrell-byrd7738]

Such is the way of the sith

[@nodatastored684]

@@cameronmurrell-byrd7738 that is the way

[@rsktransport]

@@nodatastored684 Some of what you say is true, however; at the time that Talzin was killed Vader was not yet around and was still the Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker. So, a Palp wasn’t using Maul to manipulate Vader. In the son of Dathomir comic it is pretty much implied that Sidious let Maul escape so he could find Talzin. At this point in time Talzin did not living in the physical world and he needed Maul to bring her out so that she could be killed. I believe she gave herself up so that Maul could escape and then was killed by Grevious while taking on Dooku and Sidious at same time. After this moment Maul did survive on his cunning until finally killed in single combat by his arch enemy Obi Wan while in exile on tatooine.

[@toma.4808]

Banes legacy was fulfilled by sidious his greatest heir. Palpatine was so intelligent, cunning and powerful. Imagine his amusement knowing he stood in front of jedi-jedi such as yoda and windu and they never knew he was a sith lord.

[@tadhggoreyoneill13666]

I'm genuinely curious what would of happened if Dooku faked Ventress' assassination and continued to train her in secret

[@lopirobinson1991]

Palpatine would never want to hand over the empire or power, ever. He wanted to be an immortal, perpetual master, The Final Dark Lord. There was never any wish to hand over the Empire to a worthy successor. That's ludicrous lol

[@johngarry3723]

58:51 I'd say the red guard captain is in fact RC07 from Republic Commando.

[@Ken-lc1kg]

Awesome video

[@naughtmouth9781]

The most interesting aspect of palpitate as a villain is that his relationship to the darkside isn't out of need for power. He's driven by the want. that's what makes more evil than any villain that exists in fiction.

[@saw31489]

So I know that this is probably late... I have a theory regarding force ghosts Someone can probably disprove me, But my theory kind of works In the manners that afforce ghost is more of something that is summoned rather than an independent being. Every canonical Appearance of a force ghost always comes to someone whose connected very intently with some one. When Luke feels lost the person he reaches out for is Obi won. So Obi wan manifests and then gives him the guidance that hes looking for from the perspective of himself being one with the force. Next we see Obi Won, Yoda, and Anakin... all of which only appear after Luke reflects on his journey after the Endor battle Yoda refers to Qui Gon's ghost in E3. Qui Gon was trained by Dooku who was trained by Yoda. Yoda took Dooku's turn pretty personal and it would make sense that Yoda would feel responsible to make amends as much as possible. It's within his character. Yoda also says he'll teach Obi Won how to communicate with Qui Gon. Imo, if a ghost can manifest... why would you need training to talk to one? We have Yoda in TLJ appearing as Luke feels like a failure and is losing the jedi way. Reaching out to the greatest jedi ever for guidance (even subconsciously). We now have Yoda appearing to Palpatine, who was obsessing over Yoda. It seems like there's a willing call and a willing answer associated with Force Ghosts We now have Yoda appearing

[@kevincalgta]

Between Darth, Sirius, emperor, Palpatine and emperor vitiate and the ancient Sith Exar, Kun which one of these is greater power, because I mean Exar Kun to control the supreme Chancellor of the galactic republic making him preach Sith doctrine and ideologies turn entire room of senators, which was quite masterful in my opinion

Darth Bane is the greatest Sith Lord of all time. He started the rule of two, the most successful Sith order that culminated in the Sith ruling the galaxy.

[@TheNaughtyLlamaxXx]

Sidioush too cold 🥶

[@Aivottaja]

It's very interesting to speculate what would have happened if the Jedi found Palpatine first. Palpatine would have remained the psychopath (they are among the Jedi, see Ki-Adi-Mundi for reference) he is with an endless thirst for more power, but constrained by the Jedi. He couldn't connive to the level he could as a politician and a secret Sith because he would lack the resources and connections and would be bound by his Jedi duties. If he went rogue in his later year, at best he'd be like Dooku, but for different reasons. He'd probably never be able to become the Emperor that way. What would he have done? Be exiled by the Jedi as a teenager? Then what?

[@doctornova3015]

So is it short for Sheven?

[@willatkinson7835]

Great job best sith

[@lopirobinson1991]

The Canon answer is that the dark side itself was shielding the Sith from the Jedi. "The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is." Yoda- Darkness had grown too powerful and it was its time to rise. It was indeed destiny for the Sith to rule for a time in order to eventually fall again.
