Why Palpatine HATED Darth Vader's Red Lightsaber(CANON) - Star Wars Comics Explained

[@jeffma7507]

I like how palpatine thinks that he’s smart and powerful for killing and surpassing his master, but he’s always skeptical of his apprentices overthrowing him, as stated in the code of the sith.

[@harlandeke]

The code of the Sith is pure nonsense to me...why would sociopathic and narcissistic beings deliberately choose an apprentice that it supposed to kill them?

[@blakeswanson1322]

[@Dyneamaeus]

A controlled threat to keep you focused on increasing your own strength. A monument to your legacy. A sex-partner that doesn't break when you squeeze it. Whatever works for you.

[@MrPr1nglz]

@@harlandeke Its because of those very reasons that the rule of two was instated as being a dark side force user, those individuals would be endlessly power hungry and would create so much infighting that it would counteract any goals they would have of defeating the Jedi and ruling the galaxy. It also helped the Sith grow stronger as the force wouldn't be spread out among so many users and the act of being Alpha meant that they were made to stay on top of their game in an effort to survive any attempt their apprentice would have on their life.

[@Lt.Dan_23]

It’s kind of a forced tradition. The master will pick someone to become powerful, a bit like a trophy but also like a pet. I don’t believe any master truly believes the apprentice is more power than him, until the apprentice slaughters them. Like you say sociopathic narcissistic people can’t imagine anyone else being better than them. When the apprentice attacks, the master will fight for his life. Power decides the fate.

[@seanjoseph1700]

Sidious is a lunatic, I think deep down he tortured Vader that way because he was scared of him

[@Bklyn93]

He was definitely scared that, even despite being injured, Vader had the power to eventually overthrow him, yes. As much as Sidious believed in the Sith, he did NOT believe in the Rule of Two. Sidious was in a way a corruption of the Sith; he viewed HIMSELF as the Sith - the only truly necessary Sith, anyway. Even though he knew a natural part of the Sith Code was that the student would one day murder the Master, he was afraid of this, and afraid of Vader's potential. He wanted to live forever as the sole Sith, perhaps using Vader as a weapon or as his eyes and ears in the Galaxy. So yes, he was afraid of Vader. He knew Vader still had the potential to be more powerful than him. Keeping him down, messing with his already severely depressed mind was a way of keeping him on a leash. Because he was afraid of what Vader might be capable of without any sort of leash.

[@DeathScepter]

Well He is a high functioning Psychopath that is properly paranoid about other people including Vader. He knew how dangerous Vader can be. For Vader is a proper Sith Juggernaut. there is a difference in being afraid and being cautious. Sidious is very cautious around Vader and let him know whom is top dog within the Empire and within the Sith.

[@Halloween111]

Originally, the explanation for the red blade was that the Jedi controlled all or most of the locations where Kyber crystals formed. The sith had to produce synthetic crystals for their blades and that process always resulted in a red crystal. They liked the color as a symbol of their order and kept it up even as the Jedi were scattered. The death star used Giant Kybers in it's main weapon and the beam is green so they could get Natural kyber crystals but preferred the red ones for personal use. The synthesized crystal explanation is more straightforward and pragmatic but I will concede that here is a certain mystique to the "bleeding the crystal" thing, though, that fits the sith mindset. The real reason for the colors was to provide contrast for the optics of the film. For example, Luke's green blade was used in Jedi because they found that a blue blade was impossible to make out against the blue sky; particularly in the Sarlac pit battle. It was also easier to tell who's blade was doing what in other fight scenes like Obi Wan vs Vader in the first movie. The lore that evolved from the Light saber blade colors is pretty fascinating.

[@Cussaur]

I think the reason that The death star had a green kyber crystal is that it would be too dangerous to make it bleed

[@YendorSignemeck]

I really wish for a High Republic world-building issue where we learn how Vader's predecessors acquired their red blades. Vader sort of had it easy; he was out openly hunting Jedi survivors, who had no Ordervto support them. Sidious, Plagueis, and Tenebrous had to find their Jedi conveniently, and kill them without drawing attention to themselves, while knowing that the Order would eventually determine their fate. Who did the eccentric starship designer, or the philanthropic banker, hunt down and kill? Where did they bleed their crystals? Did the Jedi note how these Knights died? Were killed, and their lightsabers taken? I think Sidious had to wait several decades to make his saber. I wonder what Jedi met their end at that sociopath's power? He also had several sabers, so did he have to kill a handful of Jedi? Was he a Senator by this point? I know it is not important, but it's the kind of support content I just really love to see.

[@moviemaker2011z]

sith and jedi alike had planets they could go to where they could find and harvest Kyber crystals. the sith preferred to kill jedi and bleed their crystals but if they had no other choice they could track them down the same way a jedi could. Kyber crystals to my knowledge are also invisible to people who are not force sensitive.

Sidious is fronting. In a canon novel set 5 years after Revenge of the Sith he thinks to himself Vader is stronger than before the suit. The writers confirmed canon Vader lacking limbs doesn’t hinder him at all either. Except maybe making lighting unusable for him. I haven’t seen him or anyone mention him not using force lightning in canon. I think Sidious surpassed Vader around A New Hope though. Vader tried to rebel after Empire Strike Back and his defeat caused him to accept his place and legit try to kill Luke if he doesn’t turn to the dark side.

Nah... Palpatine loved lightsabers so much that his was made of phrik (a nearly indestructible material) and aurodium (more expensive than gold)... and he had TWO of them! You don't waste that much money on something you hate. He'd probably carry them with him all the time if they didn't give away his identity as a Sith Lord. Also, he was confident that he'd never find an opponent he couldn't subdue with the Force alone, which, in the end, was his downfall; think of how Endor could've ended in a much different way if Palpatine had a lightsaber to cut Vader down when the latter yeeted him into the Death Star's core...

Never in the original Trilogy was the red light saber a symbol of the Sith but rather a relic from Vader's Jedi past. Palpatine refers to the lightsaber as "A Jedi's Weapon" and belittles it in RotJ. Prequels kinda threw that concept out the window.

Vader: Ships blows up Also Vader: This is where the fun begins

[@scottishadonis]

Sideous gave Vader Corporal punishment. Capital punishment is a death sentence.

[@evansokolson9221]

Starting to get the feeling Palpatine doesn’t like Vader...

[@shanehudson3995]

So we are going to ignore how much Palpatine enjoyed fighting Maul and Savage? He could have just juiced them with force lightning, but he wanted to get his hands dirty.

[@DenverStarkey]

there was a reason for that. maul prided himself on his combat prowess. sidious wanted to show him his skill at combat pailed in comparision to his own it was his way to taking even more from darth maul. to humilate him and hummble him.

[@jackwenn_9693]

That lightsaber was his life

[@floatingf8783]

According to Tarkin at least.

[@TheAntiTrope]

Dude I like this channel, if it gets lazy like this I'll relegate it to the "do not show" bin like I did Stupendous Wave. This video ultimately didn't even provide the answer in any real way. Was just incoherent.

[@Holothurion]

Vader: You have barely taught me about the Sith beliefs and creed, and nothing about their techniques, yet expect me to follow them by the book, you sick lunatic?

[@gtc1554]

The editing was messed up a bit in this one

[@utsubyouchiha7731]

palpatine to lightsabers: so uncivilized

[@MasterChiefSpartan117]

To sum up the video: Vader needs more than to rely on than just a lightsaber in combat and throughout the empire.

[@ryanfraga128]

What if the balance in the force was karma and doing nothing is sometimes the best thing to do when it comes to fighting evil and light because it is yin and yang.

[@InternetMameluq]

Capital punishment is when you kill the victim. Unless you meant that as a pun, because Palpatine is the head of state.

[@tajmahall1622]

Sidious: I do not test Everyone ever: 🤔🤔🤔

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Of course palpatien would say that, he has not had his arms and legs cut off so he should be stronger with the force, and made sure to use a iniselated metal suit to keep Anakin at his force lightning mercy. He is a sceemer

[@Anonymous37980]

Making Vader's suit highly conductive to electricity was the biggest dick move Palpatine ever pulled

[@koro_kokoro]

Well ya, he had to keep Vader under him, to make sure Vader could never overpower him and if he tried palpatine would be able to easily stop him. It was heavy and slow as well. As well as Vader moves in that is how powerful he truly is

[@pr0gurt]

Everyone: let's use lightsabers :D Also everyone: f*** that thing

[@tartusmaximus179]

1:30 another happy landing

[@TheAlcoholic27]

Well presented. Thank you 🍻

[@kharijordan6426]

Insidiously wholesome..🧐 in a way.

Who edited this

[@MineCraft-wt7iz]

Next on starwars lore accounts: *why the entire starwars universe hated every lightsaber (canon)*

[@grogu9906]

The ninth sister! She’s also in fallen order, I didn’t know she was also in these comics

[@spiralinglight]

One would think thatThe youngling slayer 3000 would have quite the darkside aura about it 🤔🤔

[@bubbasmith7987]

Soooo... Why did he hate his red lightsabre?

[@EvilXero359]

Maybe Vader's saber hilt looked like a certain intergalactic trophy hunter's plasma weapon

[@andrewcaro1326]

People ask many thing but what about How old is palpatine

[@darthsidious9492]

Very old. That's all you need to know

[@Obiwan7100]

for the time of the Thumbnail comic, Palpatine was 87 years old, in episode IX he died at 119.

[@rachelhagemann583]

Yes

[@xyro04]

Yo! New sub here and loving the new respect for palp tganks to u

[@charlesbrowning9748]

Now I understand when Vader told Luke " You don't know the power of the dark side. I MUST obey my master. (Because he can fry me like a pork chop on a grill.)

[@RoyalLegend1000]

Lol

[@icervoid]

Futile lessons if he keep him yet as a puppet. This one has been made for much more.

[@lysander3262]

He hated the lightsaber, but he loved the helmet polished with woodoo hide!

[@francissobotka8725]

Sideous was afraid of Anakin/Vader .
