Star wars is a children’s film series what do you expect?
>atheist can’t comprehend evil
They packed it with adult themes, though. The Emperor is a great character but I can't help but wonder if he would have had more impact if he looked normal, instead of like some space ghoul. That might have made the moral choice Luke has to make a lot more believable. He sees not a ghoul, but an old man. His father invites him to join the true elite, not the undead.
the sith are always at odds with the jedi and want to destroy them. Ying and yang. Jedi BTFO the sith, so palps the big bad sith goes into hiding and subverts the universe against the jedi.
Any 5 year old who likes star wars knows this
I just want to have an endless quarantine sleepover to tickle Luke with because I am so tired of ordering around my stormtroopers and I never want to leave my quarters in my new and more powerful Death Star which I hope l can live on for another hundred years.
Yes the Jedi are all united to preserve the rebellion to betray the empire.
Sith seek maximum power and ruling the galaxy is a by-product of that, not really the initial goal.
He wants everyone dead except for the sith.
He is evil bad guy. His name is literally Dark Insidious, he looks like Satan, sounds like a demon, has glowing hellish eyes. This is a fairy tale for children. Good guys must beat the bad guys. That's all there is to it. There is nothing deeper to it. All the supplementary "lore" from bullshit fanfiction books and whatnot is gay and moronic and misses the point of Star Wars, and only deranged moronic manchildren consoomer redditors care about it.
Begone, marketer!
Infinite power
He's bad because he was against the jedi. They were the good guys just because they were, ok?
>Take over the galaxy? but why?
O'Brien: "Power is inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing." "Power is not a means; it is an end." - 1984, George Orwell.
this was the part of the book that was most contrary to human nature, I don't think the anti-ideology of the party could ever really work
Garbage book by the way
>Dictatorships...LE BAD!!!!!
>Did you know that dictatorships suppress stuff?????
What a fraud.
There's no dictator in 1984 though.
Another reason why the book is flat out silly. Because in real life, the ministry of Truth, Love, Peace and Plenty would be too much in direct conflict with each other constantly. One would likely start playing a little more dirty than the others to try and gain more control which would inevitably cause an internal civil war.
>Another
what do you mean another reason? The first reason you gave was bullshit showing that you didn't read the book
Why should anyone read anything else you post after that?
Nah you're just using semantics over the difference between a dictatorship and authoritarianism.
Some people just want to have complete power you fricking pseud.
To have a strong, unifiend galaxy ready for when the Cheek & Chong or whatever the frick they were called attacked
>Starts talking like a frog
because he wants power for the sake of power, that is what the sith preach
He was trying to make a strong government to be able to counter the Vong invasion, then Yidsney came and made him a cliché LE BAD villain
>inb4 the Vong were stupid!
Not more than Operation Cinder and his return in TROS
Both are fanfiction. He is a cliché LE BAD villain, an evil wizard in Lucas' films. That's it. That's all that matters. have a nice day, consoomer redditor homosexual. Imagine taking any of the merchandise fanfiction crap seriously. You are an embarrassment to your parents, you should not reproduce - but you won't be able to anyway.
>>inb4 the Vong were stupid!
While I do think they were stupid, they can't have been stupider than the direction yidsney took the franchise
Both are stupid and bad. New bad thing doesn't automatically make the old bad thing good. Both are still bad and will always be bad. That's something manchildren here cannot seem to fathom. They deliberately engage in this fallacy, time and time again.
>he was trying to [moronic ooc shit made up to sell books]
>the EU is consoomer fanfiction
Disney's trilogy was fricking trash without equal. The EU had good and bad material but at least it had a soul.
>dudes it le soulful
your moronic vong stories aren't soulful, they were made to sell shit to moronic teens who think overly edgy = good without actually thinking about it making sense in the context they presented, yes Disney proved to be much worse everybody knows that, but trying to pretend the EU in general wasn't also corporate shit just because it managed to produce some good stories is delusional thinking
>they were made to sell shit
explain how ol' george wasn't trying to sell things by the time he made the second movie.
See:
>but at least it had a soul
No, it didn't. It was mass-produced, soulless merchandise tie-in fiction crap for consoomer fanboys desperate for anything with a Star Wars logo on it. Bottom of the barrel stuff. No actual human beings wasted their time on that.
>It was mass-produced, soulless merchandise tie-in fiction crap for consoomer fanboys desperate for anything with a Star Wars logo on it. Bottom of the barrel stuff. No actual human beings wasted their time on that.
Now please define Yidsney Wars. I want you to hear it, or do you risk to lose your job as a Mouse shill?
Same thing just with more movies and toys. The prequels and 90% of the books sucking ass didn't change because Disney stuff sucked ass, they still suck ass.
Just read through their wookiepedia page.
>killed over 300 trillion sentient aliens
>viewed mechanical technology as blasphemy, somehow genetically engineered their tech without mechanical aid
>worship pain and inflict it on themselves and others
Sounds like Garth Ennis style cringe. Better than Disney but not good.
based fellow lore anon - empire would've kicked the vong in the teeth and trillions died instead
Rían Johnson tier writing. Durr… actually the bad guys are the good guys
>someone doesn't know the grand plan
The Sith and Jedi are ancient orders. The Jedi "won" the last engagement 1000 years prior. The final remaining sith, Darth Bane, instituted the rule of two (before, there were armies of Sith and Jedi at war with each other). Bane's master plan was basically "there will only be two of us so we can concentrate our power, hide in plain site, and when the time is right, unleash our revenge and destroy the Jedi once and for all". Bane's legacy endured until Sidious who put the plan into action.
He was only being so despotic because the tried to unify the galaxy's resources against the coming invaders from another galaxy.
what was his tax policy?
>NOOOO EVERY VILLAINS MUST HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS, TRAGIC PAST AND/OR GRAY MORALITY
He's just an butthole that hates jedi, loves power for the sake of it. That's the point.
I don't understand Inquisitorium. They are Sith or just dark side force users?
It's a little game of semantics but the only two "proper" Siths are Palpatine and his apprentice of the moment.
The rest are generic dark force users, with only incomplete training and mastery compared to the two Siths
That's the same thing.
No, Sith have more specific rituals and mythos behind
No they don't.
They are a way to get light-saber wielding force user bad guys while getting around the fact that canonically there are only two sith running around.
>canonically there are only two sith running around
The most cheesiest, childish, baby-talk aspect of all the prequels. They had to come up with some explanation why there was only Sheev and Anakin in the OT, I guess. But the rule of two irrepabarably damaged the reputation of star wars as forever childish
What is the dark side power that makes you talk like a middle-aged black man? I'm sure it's very well explained in the EU somewhere.
I like Sheev because he enjoys his job. More than anyone else in Star Wars even. He just having a good time
>got BTFO so bad that he had to edit "clone" to "Kid-soldier"
Where does the regular stormtrooper helmet go?
My forehead is too big and I wish I could go ape mode
The darkness seeks control as an end, not a means. Only the idiots among the evil ones ever believe in it as means. Palpatine is no idiot, so he knows it's meaningless, but he does a good job convincing morons to help him do it because they think there is a reason for it.
What was his tax policy, anyways?
It was sort of implied he wanted to conquer everything and then there would be a Pax Romana situation where if everyone is conquered by one empire there would be peace
He says this but the truth is he’s probably just evil and a bit of a control freak. Having a puffy monster face would do that to you
No he just wanted to destroy the Jedi. His whole order 66 and turning the Jedi's messiah to his own side was the revenge of the Sith. That Pax Romana shit was actually just to get Anakin on board because he was a veteran of war. Sidious knows that "peace is a lie".
As a directionless teenager he was inducted into Illuminatti tier force cult that sought dominion over galaxy and gave Palpatine tools to do it. Palpatine naturally was ambitious and power hungry, so it worked out perfectly for them.
darth plagueis was an indian
think about it
yea now it all makes sense
He has to be evil because he's so ugly.
>durrrr why does a villain want power
I don't know, mate. Ask all of the infamous conquerors throughout history.
Sheev's motives may be shallow, but at least he HAD motivaton. Which is more than you can say for this shiftless bunch of lazy pedophiles, who disliked anything that made them get out of their chairs.
UNLIMITED POWAAAAAH
