Emperor Palpatine's Speech | Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 Episode 8

[@dmitrykhvostik5975]

When you relised that being a politician has brought Palpatine more power than being a sith lord ever did

[@RangersBlade]

George Lucas shoved a mirror in America's face on how a Democracy turns into a Dictatorship, and everyone ignored the warning...

[@qidn7775]

Depends on how you define power.

[@lordescanor8232]

yes, people dont even know that he is a sithlord, yet he has enough authority for people to fear or respect him, no one can reach him, everything he says is already planned, there is no error and even if there is, palpatine will eliminate it this was a time where the empire was at its weakest, since if every system would go against it, palpatines empire would be ashes, so he continued to give people the belive that they have more choices, while there is only one choice

[@joseluis5055]

This is why the Sith won and the Jedi lost, up until Luke. Because the Sith had evolved during the 1000 years of hiding and plotting. The Jedi were probably expecting them to return with a massive army and attack the Temple head on, but the Sith weren't just warriors. They had now become politicians, businessmen, scientists. They striked the Jedi in a smarter way they wouldn't expect.

he is not just a sith lord , he is the Sith’ari

He did that through the entirety of The Clone Wars Palpatine should of kept the Clones as his Military Force The Rebellion would of never happened

[@haroldcruz8550]

Palpatine reminds of Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright on how much they are a master of twisting the truth to get what they want and how they play the public like a fiddle.

[@warherojango936]

No surprise that The Emperor threw the useless admiral under the bus when he couldn't keep a lid on Kamino.

[@Taekashi69]

Just like the same way he did to both dooku and maul

[@haydenfowle7576]

He treats all his Allies like disposable pieces of hardware like in Jedi he wanted Luke to kill Vader to take his father's place as his next Sith Apprentice but refused because he saw how Palps treats his allies like Dooku, Maul, Vader before him

[@coletrain583]

More like this was the plan from beginning, he need a scapegoat, needless to say Rampart was that. Palpatine likely knew even the truth could tot be locked forever, so he instead putts on a different. Needless it was enough to get most of the senate on his side by even putting the soldiers under Rampart's command also in the account to proceed with the creation of what would be known as the Stormtrooper Corps, only this time, he managed to convince the senate to follow his own version of Rampart's plan.

[@Vahki100]

This is the Palpatine I love - the mastermind, the schemer, the puppet master. Never a situation which he cannot turn to his advantage. These two episode were outstanding.

[@An1m3Weaboo]

Ian McDiarmid's performance as Palpatine never fails to impress me. Edit: Approved by the Senate himself.

[@teekay1122]

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@JenkTank64]

He IS the Senate

[@zarander]

Whoever wrote that script for him, the production team, did a great job.

[@haydenfowle7576]

They deserve a raise The Animation Style is just beautiful

[@maddoxcindy5017]

This really shows the difference between political lightweight and heavyweight. No matter how much talk there is on either side. As soon as the one who has proven himself over and over again and thus become respected or have built their leadership this way, every single word he speaks weighs more than any speech any other politician has made. Only a few had that power in Star Wars, Padmé, Bail and of course Palpatine, who dragged senator chuchi and hee victory across the floor as soon as he entered the room. She’ll have to do a lot more if she ever wishes to come close to where Padmé once stood.

[@stephen8805]

Padme had the luxury of being a republic senator when there was some level of decency and honor in the Republic senate. No such decency exists in the imperial senate where assassinations are the way of things and there are no Jedi Knights protecting everyone.

[@Mourtzouphlos240]

That Padme was the only one who could get a "win" over him in this field is remarkable. It also means that there was never any chance of ending The Empire anywhere aside from The Battlefield and only a Jedi could end the Sith forever.

[@Serocco]

Padme could have been forever known as Chancellor Amidala if Palpatine was exposed sooner

[@MMZERO9]

@@Serocco Palpatine would have had a contingency for that. This is someone whose backup plans have backups. For all of Padmé’s prowess in the political arena, she didn’t really know who and what she was dealing with when it came to Sidious. It’s interesting how when she remarked to Anakin if his love blinded him, she didn’t realize her love for the Republic blinded her to the truth-the Republic she served and loved had been a sham for a millennium.

[@jsociety4964]

And there you have it the moment Palpatine announced that all Clones will be phased out for Stormtroopers

[@Slacker28]

There is a saying a good politician never lets a tragedy go to waste

[@cameronmonaghan6883]

This is now one if not the best Palpatine moments ever. His presence is so menacing it's difficult to forget that he was killed of forty years ago. So knowing he's going to lose doesn't make him less threatening.

[@nchldmn]

Somewhere, Crosshair is watching this whole thing go down, and grinning all the way.

[@jakubbajer6463]

Barris Or Ahsoka Show series = Barris offe in Season 3- 5 Bad batch = Fulcrum Clone force 99

[@basch_g]

Palpatine won again, but this was nothing compared to Clone Wars, the best project of Darth Sidious

[@Gage_Brumley]

Is he? Last we saw him he was starting to question orders

[@haydo-9916]

“I am deeply troubled by this recent revelation. My gratitude to Senator Chuchi for exposing a rogue element within our ranks. Many lives have been lost. But I assure you Admiral Rampart will face the consequences for his treachery. However he did not act alone. The fact that the clones under his command so blindly follow orders inflicted such carnage without hesitation gives me pause. Perhaps it is time for the change. Now more than ever. Building a strong galaxy requires protection and security. Due to the nefarious actions of Admiral Rampart and the immediacy of the bill on the floor today, it is my opinion that this legislation is our future. With this momentous act, we shall usher in a new era heralded by the Imperial Stormtroopers.”

[@josephbanet5410]

Ian is amazing. He really gives Palpatine a chilling presence. I hope his cameo in Kenobi, and this cameo in The Bad Batch is the beginning of more cameos of him in other projects.

[@Hei_Darkfire]

It's doubtful. Guy is getting pretty old, and he can't do this forever.

[@sergeikshiminskiy6546]

You can hate him. But I can't help but respect how he can twist words in his favour.

[@Pravhkas]

I loved these two episodes, even though Admiral Rampart lost the bill. Palpatine still won.. again. And even though Rex got Echo back, we all know the direction this is going. Now i hope we get to see more Clones being saved. I also think that we will se more of Rampart, and i hope we get more darkness from Sidious and his by this time mysterious new shadow, or apprentice as we know. I hope we get to see Darth Vader step out from the shadow into his new role in this Empire

[@Hammer693]

I loved the fact that the soundtrack at the end was a small remix of 'Anakin's Dark Deeds'

Imperial system turning its loyal and ruthless servants into scapegoats at its finest. There couldn't be a more ironic comeuppance for Rampart.

Palpatine, one tricky Sith Politician

[@haydenfowle7576]

Just like The Clone Wars he use this situation to his benefit he wanted Kaminos Destruction exposed and Rampart to pay for his Treachery so he would have cause to have his Stormtrooper army and when his allies are no longer useful to them he has them killed

[@basch_g]

Mass Ameda informed the Emperor of the situation and he was ready for this card in case Rampart was exposed.

[@SQUIDBEARSTUDIO]

Another good-hearted Senator like Chuchi helped Sidious in his Power Play.

[@mattboesch8907]

I honestly thought the good Senator was going to get whacked in these episodes. I'm glad she survived cause i would love for her to join the Rebel Alliance later down the road.
