How 2 Royal Guards Reacted to Palpatine using the Force [Canon] - Star Wars Explained

[@TheLoreMasterYT]

If you guys want to read the book this video is based on, then you should definitely check out "Lords of the Sith". Its one of my favorite Star Wars books, and in my personal top 3 within the new Canon books (behind Lost Stars and Thrawn).

[@Longshanks1690]

Kind of weird that all the really good stuff is going to the Books and Comics and not the movies, but what do I know?

[@krystianfoote7379]

Well they can't explain every thing in the movies or shows. They can go deeper into the lore of anyone like smoke with a series of comics

[@coops3600]

IS0T0P3_90 From memory, Palpatine didn't actually sleep in the traditional sense for that reason. He was too paranoid. He used some sort of meditative state that allowed him to gain restfulness but retain awareness of his surroundings.

It requires weekly applications of lotion to maintain the skin integrity! Also, I have UNLIMITED POWER!!!

What a conundrum the guard ended up in. On one side, he knows the person he is guarding doesn't need him at all, so he can relax. On the other side, the person he is guarding can kill him with a thought so he can't relax.

Jethro Marwick I actually disagree. Not everything needs to be shown on film. It’s actually a really smart idea to keep these stories for the expanded universe. I know people don’t want to read a book about a movie, but in this case I feel like it’s a good idea, there are too many stories to tell for the series to be movies only.

[@dervish108]

Wolfgod 64 in the canon thrawn novel, (and I may have painted the wrong picture in my mind - as this was a book and not as clear as a movie or tv show) but I felt like palpatine was just sitting on a throne in the ground floor of the “imperial palace” (which is pretty open, not open to the public, but open as in like, massive open entrance ways kind of stuff, man my vocabulary is awful today ahah) but yeah, the part where thrawn and Eli go to meet palpatine, I felt like he wasn’t all that hidden away, like If someone was looking into a telescope from a 7-11, (errr.. or an admiral snackbar?) across the street from the palace, they’d be able to see him sitting there. Of course, I may have pictured that scene all wrong, I also might not even be remembering it right, maybe they weren’t even at the imperial palace in that scene.

because Sidious did not wan't to reveal his identity to anyone. The only people who Palpatine allowed to know he was a sith were Vader, his imperial guards and in legends a handfull of others. In some dangerous situations Palpatine wanted people to come out alive, if he revealed his powers everyone present had to die. Also the Guards were sent on missions for palpatine which required highly trained individuals, missions which were important but not worth the time of Palpatine or Vader. Also they're part of Palpatine's public image.

His apprentice DID openly call himself "DARTH Vader" though. If his apprentice is openly using his Sith title, you would think it would be pretty easy to deduce that he was one as well. After all, "Always two there are," and no Sith master would ever serve a non-force-sensitive Emperor.

Palpatine: You know where you have to overcome impossible odds, struggle to survive, get yourself into heeps oh sh*t as if almost on purpose... oohh i know lets go to Ryloth. Vader: *sigh* i just got back from-- Palpatine: It'll be fun commeee onnnnnnn I'll bring two guards so one of them can have a dramatic heroic death or something and one survives with PTSD *imperial stardestroyer picking them at the end* Palpatine to a visibly exhausted and slightly damaged vader: See I told you this would be fun.

Royal guard so uh watcha doing there Palpatine UNLIMITED POWER

[@generalzzodd595]

No it's.......POWAAAHHH!😳

[@kriegsmanofthe141st6]

My only thought was "Of course the CHAD clone guard had to die bruh"

[@stt5v2002]

Did rebel leaders such as Bail Organa and Mon Mothma know or suspect what Palpatine was? They certainly knew about the Jedi, they knew about Vader, and knowledge of the sith or at least the dark side of the force was certainly available to them.

[@andriusas90]

bail was a friend to both yoda and obi wan and picked up yoda after his duel with palpatine so he knew

[@NN-lf2rs]

The amount of puns when the guards were “shocked” lol

[@Thealienigloo]

They probably were just like "Holy shit lol." And that was the end of it.

[@Breeg2011]

Kind of makes you wonder how an elite soldier feels when he knows that his skills wouldn't make the slightest difference in a fight and that his only purpose is to look cool.

[@theonerecker5245]

God i want this as a standalone movie, that would be so cool. This book was amazing and i really hooe disney makes a movie about this

[@Longshanks1690]

THEone RECKER I don't. Disney would make the guards all women and be more powerful than Sidious. Be grateful for these books being as great as they are.

[@windex780]

It's nice that he has the shout outs to the amazing artists

[@darthsidious1042]

*UNLIMITED POWAAAHHH!!!!!*

[@mrlokalist]

The guard most likely was like... We Just puppetts.... This guy can wipe out anything He wants if He but wishes it

[@_MaZTeR_]

What if the surviving guard became one of the Preatorian guards of Snoke?

[@woahwoah2207]

_MaZ_ He would be too old.

[@gavinstarks2761]

^

[@_MaZTeR_]

And how do you know what his age is?

[@fly672]

He's adult solider, he's at least 22-28 years old, and this happend around 3-4 years After ROTS so TLJ happends 49 years later so he would be over 70, so he would be way too old

[@cloraxbleach6031]

Man thought he was the first and last line of defense to keep the emperor safe. Now he realizes he is an ornament.
