Palpatine used his real face because if a new Sith Lord saw his Sidious face, they'd call him Darth Syphilis

[@BirkirDN]

I love how Sideous did so many little things that on the surface seem like nothing but have such great meaning when truly looked into.

[@richv1893]

Siddious teasing and taunting practically at the same time. Siddious is incredibly disrespectful at all times, no matter how nice his words may appear.

[@thomasparque7834]

I think Sidous was wise to use his younger face as clever ruse, Bane did used his bug armor and helmet with own holocorn even after removing it.

[@thomasparque7834]

If I seen a younger Sidous if I opened that holocorn I think I would taken a bit back by surprise and maybe a disappointment at first for I would expect someone older one who was deeply scarred by the dark side

[@Lemuel928]

He looks kinda fine in every Lego Star Wars Multiverse.

[@tigertank06]

Doesn’t the darkside corrupt a person’a physical being? Wouldn’t his face post-Mace Windu fight be disfigured due to the darkside and not his force lightning?

[@marshalllatta2073]

[@smushily_373]

this is absolutely genius. best star wars channel out there with the analysis.

[@justchylljose]

I think by Sidious using his former self as the gatekeeper just taps in to his villanous ethos. He was psychotic and a master manipulator. Using his charm, ruse, and charisma to lure in the Sith he was speaking to just brings even more darkness to his persona.

[@LordWyatt]

There may be another subtle reason why he chose a youthful look: The user may underestimate Sidious thinking he may have been skilled but possibly died young due to a mistake rather than knowing or realizing this was intended by the creator of the holocron. If Anakin saw it he may trust the image, Vader wouldn’t but probably would not yet know how it’s created and how specific it really is.

[@richarddavis3980]

Keep talking about the sith man I just finished the book of the sith and the more and more I hear about the philosophy of the force the more and more I think that it can be utilized in general philosophy as a good guide. In my opinion philosophy expressed through fiction has a lot better chance of landing with people than simply spreading out a a philosophical thesis it's more entertaining and in my opinion it teaches better

[@quinngros5651]

I always wondered how he explained how his disfigurement was caused and how he vanquished the Jedi that came for him, but in a detailed way, while in conversations with others. He couldn't just say, "Man, I whipped they asses with the Force.". He had to have a better way, right?

[@EAcapuccino]

Weird when he wears a hood, we can barely see his face. It's especially noticeable in the SWCW series 🤔

9:04 so personally as a Sith ied automatically be on guard with anyone Sith that complements me as ied instantly start looking for the knife they are hiding behind their backs.

[@unfairlive2]

And that too would be a desireable outcome, either you are disarmed by Sidious in ignorance, and thus be very open to his no doubt railroaded guide through the holocron shaping you into his legacy piece... or you're more mature as a Sith and will be armed, but that in itself would be of no concern as it is an important lesson all sith ought to learn, if you access the holocron having already learned it, well all the better, and it is a trait Sidious definitly would've deemed a virtue... He really can't lose here.

[@thenightowl3433]

Genius. Thanks for the great video!

[@mikewashko]

I would follow Darth Sideous to the ends of the universe rather then listen to a word from his granddaughter.

[@Gor85]

This is great. Really brilliant! Sidious was a genius.He created new younger Sith. I could never open Telos holocron. But I would like the greeting. May the Force be with you too😊

[@aster4jaden]

It's fitting of him to do this.

[@MrThaOn3]

Would love to have this holocron, to learn from one of the best sith lords. Dont matter to me what form he is in, young or scarred up

[@israelfields5721]

This is why Darth Sidios is the best sith attraction and ego siducation to power to manipulate the sith through empowerment as a friend how understands you you are a outcast and only hope for you that's Palpatine 101 and the embodiment of a true sith lord

[@lordofpain3476]

A truly superior being such as Lord Sidious possess great intelligence and knowledge to confuse and disarm inferior beings with ease.

[@armandotorres8962]

Jesus that thumbnail!

[@Luci_71]

Knowing myself, if i were to open the holocron, I believe at first i would be angry that sidious did not share his appearance until he explained his reasoning. And while i know because of my knowledge of the sith and sidious from an out-of-universe perspective,. i think in the universe I would believe him. and be thankful that he was willing to hide his appearance to make it easier to learn the dark side.

[@Mrakatsuki190]

I would choose to emulate the same strategy of appearance as a Sith

[@niyamimbi1179]

i;d venture it might be not only for that, but to teach that you dont have to look the evil monster to be

[@baldrian22]

Palpaine would be well aware of how some of the people like ulek and kon fell to the darkside, they was young jedi knights or aprentises/padowans that belived they could either handle the darkside or refused to lisen to their masters warning about it or wanted to understand it like we see in legends some 30 year before revan. so i think sidious made it to be able to more easly manipulate and trick potential young jedis that was just at the correct tipping point or strong force wilders that was on the tiping point.

[@ApprenticeOtaku]

I love Sidious. But I'd never want to meet him.

[@brentlashley2138]

It seems as though the Sith were ALWAYS old......even in tbeir youth.

[@DirtyDemon917]

His face was melted. Not masked and revealed. When he looked in the mirror he realized the melted face matched his sidious persona quite well.

[@BirkirDN]

Why didn't Sideous just switch bodies through essence transfer with one of his clones? Couldn't he then have become his 'old self'?

[@nicholascollins7219]

How far back palpentine came to be at a younger age in the day, and what was his path before dark sith Lord become his master. I wonder is palpentine is he older or younger than yoda.

[@Shashu_the_little_Voidling]

Would be a great idea for a far future sequel, something set in a completely different era with different factions and a new (reconstructionist) line of Sith, and then, Palpatine can "somehow return" one more time

[@cvo7617]

I wish they would make a prequel series about the origins of Palpatine & how he joined the darkside

[@uncouthliyouth4486]

Disney won’t tell an adult oriented story like that unfortunately. They would only portray Palpatine as some victim of bad nurturing from an overbearing father and then later your standard mustache twirling baddie, rather than the nuanced politically astute sociopath he really was. We could dream though. Perhaps Jon Favreau can pull it off without the R rating it would require to be faithful to the character.

[@cvo7617]

Yea with Deadpool hopefully they become more comfortable & consider dropping something like that on there on at least Hulu frfr because his story would do big numbers.​@@uncouthliyouth4486

[@drippinwet8761]

theres a debate going around my friend group of who is stronger between valkorion or Sidious legends side

[@timwhite5562]

None of this is really specific to Palpatine, rulers have always used their image as the foundation of propaganda, both to the people of the time as well as history. I'd wager that if you asked people if they knew what Augustus looked like, 95% of the people who did would conjure the image of the young man in military uniform with his arm outstretched. As for Palpatine, I wouldn't think it would be difficult to find out what he looked like if you knew that he was Sidious, he did ruleda galactic empire, albeit for a short time.

[@lucabestea6844]

A master manipulator through and through. Indeed, young people can talk easier to those who are only a couple years younger than them. Also, if a young Sith saw his disfigured face it could have proven that delving into the dark side will ultimately take you as its puppet. Sidious hid this masterfully as well.

[@ArtDocHound]

"The Force"

[@20catsRPG]

More important question: why wasn’t Palpatine, as a force sensitive, dragged into the Jedi order as a 5yo? Why did he remain with his aristocratic family?

[@alanlafond9705]

At 5 years old, he would have already been too old for the Jedi to accept him. As for why he wasn't detected as a baby or toddler, it was because he emitted almost no force presence, something that was unique to him specifically. A strong Force wielder would have needed to be in very close proximity just to detect the Force in him.

[@CO77INS]

Question, if his normal face was a mask. Why can't he just create the mask again using the dark side?

[@CGoldmill-dz4gk]

Yeah that was always his true face and he hid it from everyone until he had an excuse to just be who he was after taking his own force lighting back on him…

[@uncouthliyouth4486]

Always his true face going back to when exactly? The start of the Phantom Menace? Midway through his apprenticeship. This was never supposed to be taken literally. Do I think dark side degradation would have eventually turned him into more or less how he looks after he had been deformed? Probably…but to say it was a literal mask is a bunch of bull.

[@jullianharshaw8612]

[@lokigr]

Don't make fun of a mere casual.... Can someone help me with the lore of "2 siths". Does this mean there are only two siths in the whole universe or does it refer more to that each sith only has one apprentice? If there are only two in the whole universe... If the dark side is so pervasive and enticing, what is stopping more beings looking to become siths?

[@majedgamesnetwork1582]

Why is Darth Vader stronger than you think legends?

[@DreadMaximus]

6:10 “I would be remiss to encourage you to believe I am or ever was your superior.” What does that mean? I don’t understand remiss.

[@unfairlive2]

"I would be remiss -" This portion of the sentence is a negative association, it's to emphasize that what follows after is the opposite of what the speaker wishes to convey. I would be remiss to tell you that the sky is green today. The sky is not green, and in this somewhat roundabout way to say it, but crucially it's a more conversational, friendly method, the longer sentence allows you to play more with the intonation of your voice, to let the words flow smoothly, and it avoids 'harsh' denouncements, like 'not' or 'isn't', after all we do not want to accidentally strongly disagree with the person who is opening the holocron, a soft disagreement sure, but never a harsh one. "- to encourage you to believe I am or ever was your superior." I mean I think this part is clear enough, it's just a description of superiority, smarter, faster, stronger or whatever. The combination of the two means that he's trying to assure you that, no fear not, he(Palpatine) does not believe himself to be better than you, more worthy of the knowledge of the holocron you(the user of the holocron) currently hold, he's your equal or maybe even your inferior. And what do equals and inferiors do? Please you of course.

This doesn't make sense. Why would Sidious add to the holocron, leaving knowledge for some sith to come when Sidious never planned to die or raise more sith. I thought he switched to the rule of one

[@rosesareredbutzerglingssti9290]

Because SIdious was smart enough to recognize that even his plans to live forever could go wrong? Remember: no matter how well conceived a plan is, there is always the high chance of that plan being ruined by an unseen/unaccounted factor.
