What if (in this theoretical for palpatine being trained), instead of trying to go for politics and "splintering" the jedi.. Palaptine used his innate desire for control to rise through the ranks of the order, eventually reaching master and rivalling Yoda on the jedi council due to his capability of persuasion and sheer power in the force. Then, using this power to make the council closer to gray jedi (thus allowing him to use his natural affinity for the dark side while also remaining "Good" in the eyes of the order) using an arguement sort of like "A knife in the hand of a doctor can save lives, but in the hands of a serial killer can end them, so why should we shoot ourselves in the foot by not using what is available?". The end result being that either the order splits with "Palpatinian" jedi, and the traditionalist jedi, OR the order listens to his remarks and eventually (possibly reluctantly agrees). This would then mean that, as the jedi became even more powerful in both the light and dark sides of the force, so too would Palpatine, and he would be regarded as the hero who saved the republic from splitting apart by sparking a change in the jedi order that no other person could've?

For clarification, a person who could take the lives of their family with no remorse for what they had done wrong would very much make them a psychopath. Sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies often go hand in hand when it comes to mass murderers.

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

Some people are unfortunately born with the inability to feel empathy, at least. It’s honestly quite sad. But I personally believe the Jedi can save younglings from that darkness. After all, they have Ki Adi Mundi, who discarded his emotions altogether over trying to master them.

I don't believe the Jedi Order would be able to sway Palpatine from the Dark Side.

I had the same thought, he most likely would gather a mass following in the Order and convince many Jedi to turn against the Council because they "turned" to the Dark side and effectively start a New Jedi Civil War.

[@Tracer_Krieg]

It sounds like Palpatine was a Sociopath. He murders people without remorse, he has no conscience, he's able to blend in almost effortlessly among long stretch of different people including Jedi and even seems to able to adjust his personality on the fly depending on the situation. This last part is very important as it distinguishes him from a Psychopath. A Psychopath is similar to a Sociopath except on one point: a Psychopath cannot adapt and will make the same mistakes over and over as emotionally they are unable to change themselves. A Sociopath is like an emotional chameleon.

[@iamdream2562]

Luke Stellar No, you are wrong, psychopaths and sociopaths are not so easily quantified. Sociopaths however, are the more cunning of the two, psychopaths, as far as I know, have a lack of emotional control for example. Sociopaths lack empathy.

[@Jokemeb]

@@iamdream2562 You and J Sailor are the ones who are wrong actually. Neither psychopaths nor sociopaths possess empathy, nor remorse. However, the condition of psychopaths is definitely much more extreme than that of sociopaths.

Evil is just a label we put on those who threaten us ~ Chancellor Palpatine

[@VestedUTuber]

I agree he'd always be heavily influenced by the Dark Side. If he were to be trained, he'd be assigned to a master who's very experienced with such cases, perhaps even Yoda himself, and even then he'd still be hard to manage. However, it would probably take Plagieus to turn him entirely at this point, since Sheev would be indoctrinated with the Jedi code from a young age. Without Plagieus he'd still most likely leave the order, but he'd at least have the mindset that he can get what he wants by helping people on occasion. As such, if you take Plagieus out of the equation, we'd probably end up with a Palpatine who got himself cut a check. He'd still be ambitious and power-hungry, but he'd likely be less of a jerk. An empire ruled by former Jedi Palpatine as opposed to Sith Palpatine would still be extremely authoritarian but somewhat more humanitarian in nature. This empire would be ruled through a cult of personality, with Palpatine taking on a sort of "good guy" public persona while still being ultimately devoted to UNLIMITED POWER, rather than through fear. This would actually make things harder for the rebellion - instead of being seen as freedom fighters by anyone who wasn't completely taken by imperial propaganda, they'd be seen as terrorists and anarchists attempting to destroy the peace and order of the Empire by pretty much all but the most disloyal imperial subjects. And as such, fewer people would be willing to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

I think if the Jedi council found palpatine when he was a boy, they would not have trained him. But if his path continued as it originally had, then when he rose to power, then the council MIGHT have recognized or sensed his intentions more so and maybe been able to prevent it. Even with his ability to mask his dark side, if the Jedi council knew of his POTENTIAL powers and dark side tendencies, then they probably would have had an easier time being tipped off about his trying to usurp them and take control.

One problem I have is the idea that Palpatine was inherently evil. The Bane novels did the same thing, where he was just naturally evil and connected to the Dark Side of the Force. One of the themes of the original trilogy is Luke having to choose between the light and dark paths and how Anakin was able to choose the light path after traveling down the dark path for a while. To make a character born evil or born with a connection to the dark side take away that choice. Now if there is a story out there where someone is born with a strong connection to the dark side and yet chooses light and is a Jedi and a hero... I'd actually like to see that story! We have the story of Anakin being born with a strong connection to the Force and choosing darkness. I want to see it the other way around now! (if one subscribes to the theory that the light and dark side are two sides of the same coin.... but that's another discussion)

I agree: having someone as monstrous in personality like Palpatine, but still somehow is able to turn to the light side, if they were able to see how much the dark side would cost them dearly, so they selfishly choose the light side out of desire for self-preservation, or actually did so for a selfless reason as opposed to Anakin's reason for turning to the dark side. Someone who is deep down, evil as fuck in their thoughts, but they don't harm anybody, and managing to keep their true nature hidden, but not for the nefarious means of taking over the galaxy but out of self-preservation and desire to be left alone

You should check out Stupendous Wave. He did this video idea quite some time ago.

[@milkmanmcgee3657]

Really love the video, btw, the KOTOR soundtrack tho...

Hey guys I got a very good question what if general grievous found out it was the CIS that plant the bomb on his ship or that there's a chip to keep him in a rage and short thinking?

[@TheMindRobber42]

That scene where he kills all the Jedi Masters pisses me off. I get that he could kill them all at once, but they cut that fight sooooo short. It could have awesome, but nope, that horned guy, Saese Tin (probably not right), and Kit Fisto all get killed in ten seconds.

i like how your using the music from SWOTORs OST its very befitting

[@somegoofballwhohasinternet7313]

Something I’ve really wanted to know for a while now is who would win in an all out galactic war, The Cabal empire from Destiny 2 or The Imperium empire from Warhammer 40k

WOW this video was awesome!!!

Palpatine: "I am the Council." Mace: "...." Palps: "...." Mace: "...Fair point." *_DIRECTED BY GEORGE LUCAS_*

[@ADRMajestic12]

well..........every point to you covered i was ready to make but i do feel that if the jedi did sense the darkness in him they would not simply let him go without constantly watching him or if they did train him then only give him so much information, keep him at arms length

[@AzzyBoy]

Ccs class battle cruiser vs imperial star destroyer or mc80 home one cruiser 80th try!!!

[@100_American_Bison]

Spartans (Halo) vs N7 (Mass Effect) and UNSC Marines (Halo) vs System Alliance Marines (Mass Effect)

[@Ahriman13]

if it's the orion ones the N7s have a chance any other they are more than likely going to lose.

Basically like: give people what they want, through the light side, and they will put you on a pedestal of power. This version of Palpatine may disagree with the Jedi philosophy, but is capable of seeing some of the benefits the light side offers, whilst seeing how destructive the dark side is. Thus having the wisdom to use light side orientated methods, and use the dark and light as both tools to obtain immense power for himself, but also uplift others that help rose him higher as either Supreme Chancellor or Emperor. Although a personality as extreme as Palpatine's, he wouldn't follow the Force and let it guide his actions, because he sees that as foreign to him. Thus, the prophecy would still need to happen, except in a different way.
