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

We all know that Darth Sidious was not in love with lightsabers, in fact he only wielded them just as a spite to the weakness of the Jedi that rely on them and this ultimately led him to the Sith convert, his student Darth Vader.

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]

@@harlandeke Many reasons. As a trophy. A tool. An extension of your own power. A disposable pawn. A vessel for your reincarnation. 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.

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.

[@musicaluprising924]

“He sensed Vader’s angst” 😂 I found it an interesting detail that the design of Darth Vader’s lightsaber hilt greatly resembles his old hilt from when he was Anakin Skywalker. Almost as if there’s a little bit of Anakin still left inside.

[@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

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.

[@AzayBae]

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.

[@radionoakmont7756]

Sidious's method is if you want a powerful weapon such as Vader is now you must temper that weapon to the point of absolute from a blunt piece of metal to a ultra sharp wakizashi that can cut through any armor or sword in battle to learn both mentally physically and as well as spiritually he made lord vader into a smart cunning stronger sith lord by this method to make him forget his past but also not to forget as in to temper his use in the force to remember to fuel his hatred his rage but also control it like how he can control his lightning giving vader the lesson in control as well which vader has used on many ocassions to fool his enemies into false security then whammm vader destroys them, all thanks to the many methods of darth sidious.

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...

[@TheNoctarius]

If I remember correctly, the absolutely unaffordable design of his LS was also intended as a mockery of the Jedi's generally humble approach to Lightsaber design (except you, Sam Jackson)

[@drkinferno72]

I see his as display swords. Good to look at, not meant for combat

[@wilhufftarkin8543]

@@drkinferno72 But they were hidden in bronzium statues for years when he was chancellor.

[@bitchface235]

He only made his light sabers out of said materials because they were reserved for Jedi masters. He didn't like light sabers and preferred the force. Dude had so much money and power a couple of those light sabers were probably like if Jeff bezos bought an iphone.

[@pr0gurt]

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

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

[@MasterChiefSpartan117]

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

[@GummiSammi]

I still can't help but think of Light saber as a weapon of the Jedi and the Sith didn't really use them. 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.

[@itfigurescomics6704]

4:35 I couldn't help but notice that there was a bit of a cut-off from one part to another that seemed a bit too mashed up together. Was the last half part of a different video that was put in by accident?

[@gravewalkers]

I have noticed that every single light saber was hated by someone else. Light saber bigotry is a huge problem with them.

[@sun332s7]

“He hates lightsabers” *uses them on a regularly*

[@estoericaferret]

I'm sorry. I heard no reasoning here why Palpy hates Vader's RED lightsaber, only why he hate's the BLUE one.

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.

[@FabledHeroes3351]

Short Answer: Palpatine was afraid of a fair fight

[@maggimaster]

Palpatine is one of the most clever characters in the series He literally upholds the rule of 2 by having his apprentice killed by the his next apprentice candidate

NO! no! Did you put your lightsaber in the lava on mustafar!? said, sidious calmly.

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