Star Wars Theory Reacts To Palpatine In The Bad Batch season 2

[@malusofficial]

Man just popped up out of the senate floor, blasted his theme music, proceeded to win a debate against himself and his own orders, furthered his legislation, refused to explain and then disappeared back into the senate floor. What a truly legendary villain.

I loved that scene because he took that crime he himself ordered it and won the debate about clone troopers. he's an amazing character

[@darthahsoka3518]

Ian Mcdiarmid is king, next to San Witcher and James Earl

[@andrewcabral963]

I’m so sick of Palpatines shit and I wished he stayed dead and burning in Hell with Maul and all the other assholes like him

[@holtonciopy]

@@andrewcabral963 we all agree with that. I HATED when he appeared on the disgusting sequels as cheap fanservice ruining Luke's adventure. BUT it makes sense que appears in the Bad batch because if the time the story takes place

Somehow Palpatine returned...correctly.

[@darthahsoka3518]

Yeah Because this is a prequel show when he was still alive Not after, which ruined Anakin's sacrifice

@@darthahsoka3518 Eh. I disagree. It’s like in Naruto they defeat the big bad. It’s doesn’t mean they don’t ever come back. It’s an endless on going cycle 🔁

[@hyphil1354]

@@averydee5328 Darth maul got cut in half, thrown down a pit, survivied on an acidic trash planet with fire breathing mechs off of only rats and hatred for about 10 years, and came back entirely because he was, and i quote, "too pissed off to die" Palpatine cloned himself, and sent his essence into the clone, this is something that was in the books, and its being set up and established in the mandalorian and in the bad batch. no body, no death.

[@averydee5328]

​@@hyphil1354 Thats not a quote, "The Books" were released after TROS, never explained in the film, Darth Maul returning in the clone wars made it self evident of how he survived, he was an alien for all I knew he should be able to survive being cut in half, why not. Learning that he used his hatred via the dark side to survive was just extra pudding. If you like Palpatine being in the TROS then that's good for you.

[@AlwaysVotingMAGA]

Ian McDiarmid is an absolute legend & has played the greatest villain ever in his life!😊👍🏻

[@darthahsoka3518]

Don't forget Sam Witcher

[@memlordnord567]

Witcher?

[@AlwaysVotingMAGA]

@@memlordnord567 He meant Sam Witwer I think. I thought he had it right the first time he commented but maybe not.

[@TimDaco]

YES!!! He is The GOAT!!!

[@TheMail518]

Palpatine is perhaps one of the smartest characters in Star Wars Between knowing politics to manipulation with everyone to having such a secretive way about him to having so much power in the dark side

[@parley1994]

Palpatine is one of those characters where he manipulates and pulls the strings from the shadows. But, if he's in a situation where straight up combat is required, he can totally handle that too.

[@reneptune]

He’s the smartest of all villains in cinema history

[@MrKevin486]

Perhaps the smartest? He outsmarted literally a galaxy of billions and destroyed an entire order of future seeing space wizards to boot.

[@lenseofficial]

is palpatine even the strongest sith when it comes to combat? or is he just such a skilled manipulator

[@parley1994]

@@lenseofficial his specialty is manipulation, and it seems to be what he prefers. But he absolutely is very formidable in a fight. Only the very best have any chance of holding their own against him.

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

So glad they got Ian back to do the voice. There can only be one Palpatine and it’s him

[@thevilemace6121]

I feel like the clone wars Palpatine wasn’t bad

[@liamphibia]

"He is so *freaking* good at politics!" Correct. A vast manipulator, he is.

[@TheEmperorSheevPalpatine]

Wow I’m glad you liked my speech and thank you

[@ThatDangerousWolf]

Showing the intelligence of Palpatine is always so cool

[@MagisterV224]

This is what makes Palpatine the pinnacle of villainy in my opinion. He’s a master manipulator, a man with almost perfect plans. And he can throw down if the need comes.

[@myPhDinAwesomeness]

The villain GOAT is a politician. What a genius Lucas is.

[@TimDaco]

The Way He twists events that are against Him In His Favor just shows how Amazingly Skilled He is At Politics. This Scene was Absolutely Incredible. PALPATINE IS THE GOAT!!!!!!

[@Pascal1607]

Palpatine playing both sides, so that he will always come out on top!

[@jakester1115]

Such a GOATed scene. Dude just popped out the floor and fucked on everyone’s plans😂

[@General_Kenobi_]

I always wanted to know what that group of clones were thinking when Palpatine announced that lol

[@darthahsoka3518]

I got chills when I saw him, and was so happy to hear it was Ian Mcdiarmid playing his role again As much as I hate Rise of Skywalker, I am still glad to see Ian is getting more chances to play Lord Sodius in prequel era stuff I hope this show later on will also reintroduce Darth Maul or Vader in later episodes, since they are also my favorite characters

[@tadhggoreyoneill13666]

I was legit frozen in place when I saw him

[@MrKevin486]

I mean, he is the senate. He was only really arguing with himself here. Its always a treat when we get Ian back as Palpatine though. A true legend.

"why's there boss music?" Take a guess...

[@Ryoevuryr]

[@nathanskywalker1536]

Because he is the Senate

[@dylanm6335]

I hope we see him in Andor!

[@darthahsoka3518]

I sort of hope we don't Andor is sort of it's own thing where they all just have to deal with Imperial Bereau officers, much as I enjoy watching Ian, I think it is more likely we will see Moff Gideon or Tarkin in the show

[@darthnihilus2729]

@@darthahsoka3518(I know this is late but whatever). I disagree. Tarkin, especially Gideon, are way to high up in the chain of command to concern themselves with anything regarding Andor. We see that Cassian is more of a spy/infiltrator in Rogue One, and we can assume that leading up to that point, he's maintained the same level of anonymity. I can't see a Moff or Grand Moff getting involved with that. Palpatine, however, makes perfect sense. Mothma is still a senator, and she has referenced him multiple times before. I think we could possibly get an appearance similar to this one in the Bad Batch, where he comes in for a cameo to talk about a bill or a terrorist (rebel) attack, etc...

[@estebangarcia9168]

Sometimes I think why Palpatine is that good manipulating, but then I remember he was politician

[@IndySidhu88]

Did not see that coming, as in the recorder that was retrieved by the BB/CF99 and handed over to Omega and then to Bail and then Chuchi, you didn't see that coming?

[@rm0986]

More like he didn't expect they'd actually manage to get it shown to the full senate

[@Sub-Zero_104th]

Good soldiers follow orders...

[@Omosisthefuture]

They went through all that danger and effort just to have Palpatine immediately outplay them and convince the senate to pass the bill anyway.

[@CaptainMcTubeSnoot]

Did Palpatine name the Storm Trooper in memoriam to Kamino? Due to the planet constantly being under storms? That’d be poetically cruel

[@enclaveofficerz3245]

This is my cannon now

[@not_ian5543]

I love these scenes that show just how out of their depth most people are when a Sith Lord shows up. Let alone a Sith in charge of a whole ass empire.

Ive heard people compare Biden to Palpatine…but honestly, Old Joe could never pull off a boss move like this!

[@dbsql6238]

Yeah, Trump has that Palpatine vibe. He stirs things up in 2016 and won and nobody saw that coming. Forever I will remember the tags Lying Ted, Low Energy Bush, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hilary. It would be hilarious if a Republican candidate call Trump…Treason Trump. But they won’t do that.

[@RabidNemo]
