You can add raising Maul to the list. Even after being disillusioned by the Sith, his upbringing by Sidious ensured that he could never have anything other than a menace to the galaxy. Think about it: he could have gotten revenge against his master by spilling the beans on Order 66, but his hatred of the Jedi was too deeply ingrained that he would never do that no matter how much he hated his former master. Not to mention, when being a Sith did not pan out for him, he just became a crime lord because violence and intimidation is all he really knows and his only purpose in life at that point was to find a means to enact revenge on the likes of Sidious and Kenobi.

People come to Star Wars from a Dragon Ball Z mindset. Where they compare characters solely from a power level perspective. But Star Wars is far different than that. What makes certain characters the most powerful is their mentality, their knowledge, their willingness to do whatever needs to be done. Palpatine is by far the most strongest sith that ever lived. He accumulated every piece of knowledge passed down from sith and he monopolized on that information, becoming a far greater sith than ever seen before. He sacrificed the majority of his life orchestrating a GALACTIC war on both sides only to eventually lead up to the darkest night ever seen in star wars, where 95% of Jedi were killed. He created an unjust empire that lasted for 20 years, which people don't realize how actually impressive that is.

It's a good point, however lots of the more powerful knowledge of the baneite sith was destroyed by Darth Gravid.

oh yeah easily. there may have been ancient sith that could compete with palps in terms of force sensitivity/midichlorian count or overall force power (nihilus with his op asf force drain and his red force lightning, or vitiate with his ability to destroy minds) and connection to the dark side, but not a single one of them comes remotely close to matching the pure evil that darth sidious was. someone else said this already, but sidious is definitely worse than the devil. the devil used to be an angel, the highest ranking and most beautiful of God’s angels, but his jealousy, envy and greed got the better of him which ultimately led to his casting out. lucifer didn’t rebel out of pure malice, even if he was irredeemable, but he rebelled because he did not want to be a second in command, more bluntly he didn’t like being told what to do and thus he felt enslaved even in heaven. by the way, this is not justifiable in any way, he committed a grave atrocity against the one and only God that could have taught him discipline, but ultimately what happened with lucifer is eerily similar to what im sure all of us humans can relate to; letting our emotions get the better of us. even if we wanted to do good, when we feel trapped or unsatisfied, our emotions ramp up, and if they aren’t dealt with in a healthy manner, it boils over into something we may or may not have ever meant to happen. DARTH SIDIOUS, on the other hand, was born evil. he didn’t obey for a time then cry like a baby when he didnt get his way, from the moment he was able to form coherent thoughts he already knew what he wanted from life; absolute power. there were no conflicting emotions, lots of betrayal yes, but letting emotions cloud his judgement? palps has never done that (except maybe when he didnt think vader would turn against him, but that’s more overconfidence, not emotion). palps has always had discipline and an ability to think very critically and outside the box if you will. he also possessed immense charisma and people skills, as well as force cloak, so playing the galaxy was light work to him. everything was meticulously planned, but not out of hatred like satan had. he did it out of a cold, sadistic disregard for any and everyone but himself. he’s #1 in all of cinema, and possibly fiction as a whole.

He was not a very nice guy at all.

[@xanderhebert6257]

I have a theory that palpatine might not have been a member of the Sith. The idea of classifying someone as “Sith” means that they follow a specific set of guidelines like how not all light side force users are considered Jedi. This is why the ancient sith seem so different to Palpatine. The “sith” classification would mean very little when it comes to how powerful he is. His power is due to the fact that not only is he extremely talented in the force but he takes joy in the actions that strengthen one’s connection to the dark side. He isn’t acting in certain ways to gain power like a sith would following sith teachings, he is just acting as he sees fit. It’s like Dooku said “you wear the trapping of the sith, you fight like the sith. But this can be imitated, however.” Only in this it’s not that he has fear like Ventress, but he lacked the true traditions that make a sith. This could also by a reason why the Jedi council overlooked just how evil he was because they were looking for a blanite sith which he wasn’t. Sith wasn’t a way of life for sidious it was just a title.

[@OGSaceAU]

You make a solid point, but I feel Palpatine wouldn't take on a title if it meant such little to him - he uses the title with pride, e.g "ONCE MORE, THE SITH WILL RULE THE GALAXY!" and "NOTHING WILL STOP THE RETURN OF THE SITH!!"

The recent comics, have told some really good stories, about Sidious testing, then tearing down, and building Vader back up. The entire writing that Palpatine made the armor to have a weakness to electricity is lazy. Vader not fixing that, is just stupid. The best way I’ve heard it explained, is that once Anakin was back, all the things fueling the dark side in him were gone, and even with his helmet, or a new suit, he wouldn’t survive, as any semblance of Anakin, was neatly completely gone. So, along with damage from Luke, then Palpatine, just him turning finished himself off. There was also no special teaching, to be a force ghost, back then, so Anakin just shows up, as if any Jedi could, if Luke needed to speak with them. It’s been the writing of others, that has filled in these gaps, but Lucas has never read, or used them to write his stories.

​@CorbCorbin I agree that simply making Vaders suit vulnerable to lighting and Vader not fixing it for 20+ years is lazy writing.

Palpatine’s creation of the planet killers (from Death Star to Final Order Fleet) really speaks to his evil nature. There is very little strategic value to obliterating an entire planet. Even just killing off the indigenous life (though equally evil) would be less of a waste of resources than erasing the planet from existence. And that also doesn’t account for potential changes to the entire system because of the destruction of said planet. Even when only firing one reactor, the Death Star was an obscenely high collateral weapon. In fact, it may as well be guaranteed collateral.

He had overthrown the republic, eradicated the Jedi and cleaned up anyone who could of been a real possible threat to him. He had won, he had the entire galaxy and honestly for a good majority of the population across the galaxy life was indeed better. Without constant resource draining efforts of war many many worlds recovered and were thriving under the empire. Which is why the rebellion had such a hard time actually finding enough worlds to join and/or finance them. Palpatine could of absolutely crushed the rebellion before it even began if he had just let off the gas for a couple of decades and brought all the core worlds back up to their republic standings if not better. If he had cooled his evil jets and just let the galaxy breath for awhile and focused on rebuilding the rebels wouldn't of been able to find anyone at all to help them and it never would of manifested into anything other than just some minor threat. But instead he triple downed on evil and because of that he lost it all. Which is what's weird, he was able to weave an incredible intricate and delicate web of deception and lies to play the entire galaxy at the entire time but then just goes off without really thinking about what to do next? That's what's goofy to me, its out of his character to be so brazen. He had to of realized if he relaxed and let the galaxy recover he could of spent nearly his every wakening moment in study of the dark side and grown more and more powerful and then when he had grown so absolutely powerful in the force, then you come back and do the evil god emperor thing but only after enough time has passed that the remaining threats either died of old age or just lacked any support and gave it up.

Canon and Legend wise, the Force in itself hated super weapons. Everytime such item came into play, it was not long before it was destroyed. Had Luke not refuse to use the targeting system for his run to shoot the tiny hole, the Death Star would have succeeded to destroy Yavin 4. Did the same with the DS2, eventually the shield drop because Luke was brought to the Emperor which distract him, preventing Palpatine to fully use his Battle Meditation to manage his force, giving the upper hand on both space and land. There is also the Star Forge in KotOR, how quickly it didn't last. All this because the Force can't take too much scaring like Alderaan destrucition left a mark and all the pain brought by the Kyber Crystal use for the super weapon of both DS, they are connected to the Force. Enough said about this. I trully also believe Palpatine to be one of the most incredibly well written vilain. At the same level as the Joker, Luthor, Thanos (before infinity wars) and Gul Dukat.

Could you possibly do a video on the new high republic and the Jedi known as The Blade ? Been waiting to get my hands on a issue of this book and pretty sure he is one of the jedi from light of the jedi. Thought it would be a interesting new subject. Love your content and work. Thank you for all u do.

[@DontPretendtoCare]

Palpatine is a man after my own heart

[@seifsouli2600]

Did you hear abou Sauron? I'm not even gonna talk about Melkor..

[@dissect123]

What about Gargamel?

[@timmywoo3572]

This video is sponsored by emperor palpatine to his apprentice

[@DeviIGundam]

Watching the clone wars finale, how every character and all thier fights were for nothing, made me realize how evil Palpy is. I still love him though.

[@Kilimanjaro1533]

Only darth Vitiate could be a rival for sidious

[@scottbegley1719]

Emperor Palpatine I believe didn't see himself as evil but opposed to light side. His ambitions blinded him in the dark side.

[@ultimatemagneto3354]

I always wondered what an encounter between sidious and Darkseid would be like? What if... Sidious had the Omega beams? Or what if sidious had five of the six infinity stones? Obvious stone he wouldn't be able to collect is the soul stone. But sidious is that one villain that truly has unlimited power. Because he's always learning. If sidious was in the MCU or DC universe he would become more powerful than even his legends counterpart. He would learn the magic of scarlet witch or Raven or even Dr Fate/Dr strange. He would essentially be like Dr Doom.

[@Səv]

He would be very OP

- Sheev, Hego Damask is evil! - From my point of view you all shall die.

[@billyzacharylll]

Shev Palpatine in a nutshell, cartoonishly evil.

[@samsonthemighty19]

Stupendous just to confirm are we getting that Ulic Qel Droma Bio and Power Scaling video in the same way you did Count Dooku, Satele Shan, and Arcann in previous videos sometime next month? Your friend and Patreon Samson

[@tureytayno3154]

And yet Disney decided to reward him by bringing him back.

[@MasterOfTheElements]

He had a pretty good sense of humour and a flair for the dramatic. Those are redeeming qualities in my book😂😂😂

[@u.v.s.5583]

I am afraid that you will find my sarcastic lines quite entertaining, and your chuckling about them will make your eventual demise from the full power of dark side somewhat easier.

[@chrislecount4801]

Calling it right here; Order 66.

[@u.v.s.5583]

Jedi did a Sith genocide over thousand years ago, so order 66 is not pure evil as such. That's the revenge in revenge of the sith.

[@matthewdunham1689]

Perhaps the greatest movie villain of all time. Top 3 easy.

1:51 why did he kill the rest of his family?

So is it just me or could there be a Star Wars survival horror game surrounding the black wings virus

[@girth_goblin]

As a dead space enjoyer, I agree. Palpatine doing a dead space was truly vile

[@monarchist1838]

Papa Palpatine did nothing wrong. Palpatine and Vader 2024.

[@u.v.s.5583]

Does loving demoracy makes them democratic candidates?

[@biodock2003]

Maybe the reason Vader was so desperate for Luke to join the dark side was because Vader knew Luke was the only one who could kill the Emperor

[@timwhite5562]

The creation of the Death star as the "most evil," thing Palpatine did? Meh…I think there's a lot of arguments to be made that other things on the list were FAR worse, and are also more appropriate for the title "evil." Firstly I don't think you can really label an action as evil in of itself, it's the motivation behind it. It's not the "what," it's the "why." Most people will agree that there's a vast difference between someone killing another person in self defense or a soldier killing an enemy soldier on a battlefield and someone who gets his rocks off by slipping into open windows at night and strangled someone in their bed. And when you think about it, the Death Star isn't all that different from the nuclear stockpile countries like the US; Russia and China have. Last I heard we had enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire planet 3 times over (albeit this was in the 80s and they supposedly were reducing the amount we have). The only real difference between the Death Star and Thermonuclear bombs is one of degree, no pun intended. The Empire can wipe out a planet in less than a half hour (a guess), while it would take hours or maybe a few days for a couple countries to do it to us. There's also the fact that the Death Star will cause the entire planet to explode in a complete, albeit visually unconvincing way (honestly, it looked like an M80 blowing up a mailbox). Nuclear would still at least leave a dead sphere of glass and ash behind. I think that the experimentation on the infants to be a pretty clear leader for "evil." Even if they had been successful, so what? Then they'll have a bunch of really good spies, assassins and saboteurs to add to the already absurdly overpowered military? Huzzah!🙄. It comes across to me as something that was done more out of a callous curiosity than for any real sizable benefit.

[@blakeharris58]

Does the chair loo- nevermind.

[@theomen49]

Palpatine is basically an average figurehead of an imperial planet in warhammer 40k

[@tylerfranklin4292]

I love your videos

[@jeremywilson5296]

Palpatine was so arrogant that he was blinded to what would be his downfall.

[@renemoya6831]

In “Revenge Of The Sith” Palpatine tells Anakin that the Sith Lords believe in Peace and Justice. This is one the most evil lies which Anakin believes.

[@therealdoomsage]

There are four traits in the dark tetragram now, they updated it to include Sadism.

[@randalcook325]

I previously posted on this, however since then have come to think about Emperor Vitiate for the Old Sith Empire. He ruled for a very long time. I also came across a previously unknown Sith Power. It appears that Vitiate had a power that allowed him to actually allowed him to prevent any force users from actually using the force. He just cast a lightning attack and this actually pulled any ability for a Jedi or Sith attacking him from using any force abilities at all. They were forever denied the use of the force. This could have been a fan fiction story, so I don't know if it is Cannon or Legends. Does anyone have any thoughts? I of course am Team Palpatine.
