The Most Disturbing Thing Palpatine Has Done| The Endless Torture of Bevel Lemelisk

[@Joe-h4i1939]

The emperor is less forgiving than i am

[@Mortablunt]

The great irony of being unforgiving, a failure, as you create a climate where people focus less on their jobs and more on, making sure they don’t end up the next subject of punishment. So instead of problems being addressed and fixed people instead play the blame game and focus on coverage meeting issues with the organization and procedure don’t get remedied, so problems go on solved. A good example of this in the modern day is actually the military, which takes a very punitive attitude towards any and all incidents or reported issues, regardless of whether or not, they were one’s fault. This is especially true for higher officer, promotions, where there are only limited slots and limited windows, in which an officer is eligible for a promotion, instead of having to retire under the up or out system. So the officers who actually get ahead and make it to positions like Colonel and General aren’t necessarily the best officers at their jobs, but rather are the best officers at limiting liability and incidents. They know to avoid any bad press, and know how to make themselves look good, regardless of whether or not, they actually produce performance and results that they are supposed to.

[@todde.204]

I remember thinking how funny it was that the last thing we hear Lemelisk say after finding out he's going to be executed is, "well I hope they get it right this time."

[@youtubeviewer4472]

Once Bevel was killed by molten copper. Why Copper? He asked Palpatine once and the emperor matter of fact-ly said, "That's what the smelter was using that day". Stuff is like is why I like Legends so much.

[@sylar747]

I remember this from Legends. At the time, it was obvious Palatine was killing two birds with one stone when punishing Bevel, practicing essence transfer and making an example of someone who failed him.

[@AngelsandWolves1]

"Somehow...Palpatine returned." Lemilisk: "Aw shit, here we go again."

[@creature695]

Good old Palpy got real creative with this one

[@YourLifeWasting]

Through time I make mistakes Through mistakes I gain experience Through experience I gain success Through success I gain confidence Through confidence I am free

[@Mortablunt]

For real all having The, you have failed me for the last time thing does is make everyone in the organization, focused more on limiting liability and covering up mistakes than actually getting things right and fixing problems to do better in the future. For a modern day example in the real world look no further than military officers who spend more time making sure they don’t have any blameworthy mistakes on their record so they can get promoted then they do actually focusing on being good at what their putative job is.

[@cameronlewis5353]

Congrats on the 10k raised for Saint judes hospital. I watched the whole live video with you and swt. Next is a face reveal lol no pressure to do it when your ready but I personally think it will be good for your channel. May the force be with you bro

“Once lemilisk got out of the bacta, and back ta work”😂 I see what you did there

[@JimG27]

Another awesome video brother. Also wanted to say. Happy to see that you and theory are going to be podcasting. I wish the both of you well. Also, thanks once again for following me on Twitter while I was on that site. Cheers brother!

[@Loneguy22]

I have to say that my favorite part in the story of Lemelisk is the time he was lowered into the vat of molten copper. He had become oddly obsessed with the question, why copper. After a few weeks he actually asked Palpatine that question. The Emperor's reply was " that it was what the smelter was using that day.

[@lordcardinals]

"Ironic, he could save others from death, but not himself."

[@R3LL1K1]

Vader: "That is correct Commander, and he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress." Jerjerrod: "Then we shall double our efforts." Vader: *pointing at Jerjerrod* " I hope so, Commander, for your sake...The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am." Jerjerrod: * a look of terror and dread showing on his face before turning around and walking towards Vaders shuttle*

[@ChrisGrogu]

Amazing content SW

[@timwhite5562]

🤨 Wait…he walked into the throne room, and a cage fell from the ceiling? 😆😂 Clearly the "genius" of the empire was inspired in no small part by old Scooby Doo episodes, or maybe Adam West era Batman. "Okay, now let's who this Darth Sidious really is… OLD MAN PALPATINE?!?" "Yeah, and i would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you pesky rebels."

I recently found out about TSW after his colab with Star Wars Theory and this guy is such a NERD about star wars. I absolutely LOVE IT. I have been looking for something like this for a long time!!!!

[@ChoseeComprende]

I dunno ... It starts to feel old that people are still calling exhaustion port, that works exactly as planned to be "construction flaw" ... Maybe designers simply didnt count with space wizards capable of changing trajectory of torpedoes with their Force shenanigans in a way that defy physical laws ... one could even argue that it wasnt exactly smartest move to erase any evidence of their existence. :-/

[@pancakes8670]

Exactlt this. I like it so much more as this being interpreted as Palpatines self-destructive nature which eventually lead to his own downfall. Underestimating Darth Vader, erasing evidence of the Jedi and thus giving them the chance to rebuild their power, cruelly punishing the Death Star engineers over what is just a freak accident. His sadism has always been his undoing.

[@ttapion]

Had a funny thought. The death star fires a massive lightsaber basically. Never put that together. Lol. Thank you

[@chandansimms9167]

Well Vader wasn’t lying when he said the Emperor is less forgiving than I am

[@joeaquilino19]

[@jeremybrummel3254]

I don't see how the Death Star really had a weakness, it took a wizard to shoot a magick missile that somehow went through a tiny hole, then somehow turned 90 degrees while flying full speed, and then somehow traveling down a narrow tube for miles without prematurely detonating.

[@pancakes8670]

Yeah. The idea that the entirety of the Death Stars waste exaust was funneled through one 2 meter wide hole is actually an engineering feat. Like you pointed out, people forget Luke literally used the force to curve the Torpedos into the exhaust port. NO ONE could have predicted that. This is just Palpatine being needlessly cruel over a freak accident, which unironically demonstrates the Empires failure.

[@jeremybrummel3254]

@pancakes8670 Right? I agree the Republic needed to be cleansed up corruption. I could even agree to an Empire. But Palpatine's methods are the problem. If he didn't stage the Separatist and Republic war, and continued just manipulating the politicians, fine. If he led an Empire without fear and iron handed tactics, fine. I think the Roman Empire was pretty cool, they practically let conquered areas mostly run themselves and updated the infrastructure along the way, they only executed Jesus out of a fear of revolution. But Palpatine had to be such a jerk...

[@joltrona6141]

I've been looking forward to this.

[@trevturp6891]

Sidious resurrected himself in Star Wars Legends.

[@brianrunyon266]

Have to agree. You torture this scientist and clone him, only to torture him several different times for the slightest slip-up... Can't wait until Darksaber gets an unabridged audio treatment, as is happening with multiple Legends novels.

[@aster4jaden]

It's impressive how he could perform Essence Transfer on others, and along with Cloning he could grant a form of Immortality. I wonder how loyal his officers and even wealthy elite of the Galaxy would be to him if they knew the Emperor could've given them "Eternal Life". I find that fascinating.

[@jayburn00]

You would think the death star would need some sort of heat management system. 2m for an exhaust port is actually quite impressive for the death star's heat dissipation system.

[@TheGoodLuc]

The loss of Death Star 2 wasn't Lemelisk's failure, but Palpatine's. He decided to release information on building of Death Star.

[@error5202]

To be fair, it was a good plane to lure out the rebel fleet. And it would have worked too had it not been for the meddling teddy bears

Can you imagine how much heat a giant space lazer produces? A small wamp rat sized hole for exhaust is honestly impressive. Just sayin.

3:44 There is something so wrong with Palpatine offering his guests something to drink 😂 "would you like coffee? Water? A little Sith alchemy per chance?"

[@thomasparque7834]

The real reason why he gave the designer of the Death Stars was because he could not really hand that they were bad ideas while Vader’s and Thrawn’s warnings were completely correct in someways it was both the light side and dark side working to destroy the super weapon

[@jimdraven2432]

THANK YOU @TheStupendousWave for telling this story. My brother didn't believe this was real lmao

[@Rencol666]

Its called "exhaust". It pushes hot gases OUT, at insane velocity and power, if it was the entire moon sized battlestation only exhaust port. Going against such current would be simply impossible by anything small enough to enter it. The rocket fired in it should: 1) be blown away right before entrance by the currents 2) even if entered not getting anywhere and exploding on walls due to turbulence 3) not being able to do the sharp tour maneuver with the opposite flow against it The design wasnt flowed. The writer's knowledge of physics were.

[@Eric6761]

Luke shot the torpedoes with the help of the force plus the reflexes of a Jedi, the "weak spot" is basically an necessity

Worst thing Palpatine's done? Either corrupting Anakin or starting Clone War.

[@Hello-bi1pm]

Low hanging fruits

[@Gaius2k]

Facts! This was literally my first thought too. Because you have to consider the totality. One man suffering a living hell. Or billions of peoples killed or enslaved, whether during the Clone Wars, or by the Empire. The latter only succeeding in its overthrow of the Republic because of Anakin's corruption.

[@dreadrath]

According to Palpatine's father, his biggest crime is simply existing. Even the guy's dad knew he was evil incarnate.

[@TheGoodLuc]

@@dreadrath His father was a POS too.

[@Eric6761]

​@@dreadrathto be honest Palpatine's dad was an asshole in it's own right, he sent Assassin's to attempt to kill Hego Damask (aka Darth Plagueis) without knowing he was a Sith and only for Plagueis disagreeing with him, he helped cover Palpatine accidental murder and many more

And thus, Legends continuity Palpatine COULD have probably cloned a new body of Vader, and moved his consciousness to it, but CHOSE not to. Cloning Force-users, growth acceleration madness, strong-Foecw deterioration, but it was possible. Sadly, this is another instance where I, as an aging nerd who once prided myself on being sk informed about the myriad workings within Star Wars, dislike the Disney canon, compared to the Legends verse. Give me Lemilisk, and Katarn stealing plans, over Erso, some "deep hidden flaw", and the rest of what amounted to Rogue One. And of course, tbe Emperor was a jerk to people who displeased him.

[@MaciejLorentz]

So the whole death star is moot in real life because you can just aim a hyperspace ship at a planets surface and vaporize the entire crust. Any tie fighter with a hyperdrive could take out a planet. Kinda boring for a movie tho.
