Well... IMHO this is not the best way to do it; but if one of them dispatches three enemies on a glimpse, the first think that cames to your mind is that he's quite a champ.

According to Lucas, Palpatine's role in The Phantom Menace is to explain "how Anakin Skywalker [later Vader] came to be Palpatine's apprentice" and the events that sparked Palpatine's rise to totalitarian power after being a senate representative. [28] The film's novelization is the first time he is called Darth Sidious.

Kolar and Tiin were cut down in seconds; Fisto managed to fend off Sidious's initial strikes, but he too was killed. With his entire strike force destroyed, Windu was left alone to contend with the Dark Lord. [1]

And here he is compared to the one from the Jedi Interceptor set. The main difference between the two is the heads and that the new one possesses a cape. Palpatine is the main antagonist in the Skywalker saga (1977–2019), appearing in all three film trilogies. [57] Original trilogySince Return of the Jedi and the prequel films, Palpatine's name has been invoked as a caricature in politics. A Seattle Post-Intelligencer editorial noted that anti- pork bloggers were caricaturing West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd as "the Emperor Palpatine of pork", with Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska having "clear aspirations to be his Darth Vader." The charge followed a report that linked a secret hold on the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 to the two senators. [142] Politicians have made comparisons as well. In 2005, Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey compared Republican Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee to Palpatine in a speech on the Senate floor, complete with a visual aid.

Academics have debated the relationship of Palpatine to modern culture. Religion scholars Ross Shepard Kraemer, William Cassidy, and Susan Schwartz compare Palpatine and Star Wars heroes to the theological concept of dualism. They insist, "One can certainly picture the evil emperor in Star Wars as Satan, complete with his infernal powers, leading his faceless minions such as his red-robed Imperial Guards." [140] Lawrence and Jewett argue that Vader killing Palpatine in Return of the Jedi represented "the permanent subduing of evil". [139] However, according to director J. J. Abrams, Palpatine's return in The Rise of Skywalker represented the idea that evil can return as a result of complacency. [141] He said, "I think the idea that if we are not careful, the evil — the ultimate evil — will rise again."

Windu announced that he had no choice but to kill Sidious, as he saw him as too great a threat to keep alive. Skywalker implored Windu to spare Sidious, reasoning that the best course of action was for Sidious to stand trial, but Windu refused, believing that Sidious's influence would sway the Supreme Court's ruling in his favor. Windu raised his blade to deliver the killing blow. Skywalker unexpectedly intervened, severing the his master's sword hand. Windu could only howl in pain as his lightsaber plummeted out of the window, leaving him defenseless. Seizing the opportunity, Sidious ceased his weakened ruse and unleashed a barrage of Force lightning at Windu before using the Force to blast the Jedi Master out of the broken window to his death.
