Shout outs to the greatest villain in history, Darth Sidious.

[@wizard_of_poz4413]

Love how the history of star wars is sort of an allegory for what would happen in our world without America policing all the oceans

[@topdog5252]

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing you that he didn’t exist. This perfectly describes the Sith’s rise to power during the rule of 2. Many people under the Empire were probably like Han Solo in thinking even the force didn’t exist. Everyone would completely underestimate Palpatine even if they knew he was a really bad guy. Perfect summary of the success of the Sith before the movies.

Well I knew Sidious's wrong-doing had gone back a number of years. But now I know it goes back even further nice video.

This is why states rights are important. If the Rim worlds had been allowed autonomy over their own sectors, the trade federation would have had a much less effective campaign of enslaving impoverished worlds. The trade federation "shadow state" would not have been able to operate across multiple sectors without the weakening of the local governments of the outer rim sectors. The outer rim worlds not being able to charge taxes on imports/exports basically turned them into a wild west while enriching the core worlds with exploitative trade.

Thanks for watching!

[@macwade2755]

This is Canon for me!

[@ALF8892]

Does anyone know why the viceroy of the trade federation took orders from Darth Sidious?

[@HenhousetheRed]

Sidious promised them power and wealth by creating a monopoly on trade in parts of the galaxy. He appealed to their greed and forced them to submit through fear. The Order of the Sith was largely a mythical legend by the time of Phantom Menace. When he claimed to be one, they were terrified of him and obeyed him.

I thought I was subscribed but I wasn’t. I’m sorry. I am now

[@shadowbeast2276]

In a few moments he had to make adjustments due to unforseen circumstances. Like maul srill being alive

My favorite character in Star Wars is Luke Skywalker,

[@RetneysHolocron]

Mine too

[@stephaniewilliams168]

Yes mine is luke as well. He went through much pain but still refused to turn to the darkside, however on return of the jedi he came very close

[@codyatkins4294]

I forget this is all made up sometimes lol

[@DiegoRooks]

Dude you have a mistake with Sifo Dyas he was manipulated by Sidious to create the clone army and then held for experimentation where he eventually died

[@RetneysHolocron]

In Legends, it was Darth Plagueis who manipulated Sifo-Dyas. Palpatine didn’t find out about the clone army on Kamino until Dooku told him about it. Source: “Darth Plagueis” by James Luceno and “Star Wars: The Essential Atlas”
