Its not good because the motivations behind it aren't good. He doesn't value life for any intrinsic quality it may have, he values it only as far as it serves him. Life is a treasure, a toy he has at his disposal. If it ceases to serve him, it ceases to have value. If the galaxy as a whole were to turn from Palpatine and stop praising him and stop being dominated, and he saw no end to this behavior, he would cease to find value in life. He would likely kill everyone as punishment and then travel to a new galaxy to dominate and rule those he found there. Valuing life for selfish reasons does not make it a draw to the light side though one could argue its the the light and dark side can find common ground upon.. though for different reasons.

@@MasterJade Unfortunately, the Clone Wars era Jedi didn't really preach balancing your negative emotions with wisdom. They were essentially teaching that you should either bottle up your emotions or just not acknowledge them at all. Which isn't healthy at all. For all its faults, how Ashoka {the show} handled Anakin was masterful. Showing how he has learned to channel not just the light or dark sides but the emotions that come with them. He's not reckless as he was in the Clone Wars nor is he always angry as he was when he was Darth Vader. As an aside, the lightsaber he manifests in the world between worlds is his Jedi Lightsaber, not his Sith variant, even when he uses a red blade the hilt is still his Jedi weapon. This is also why I love Luke's new order in the EU, he allows Jedi to marry, he gives them more freedom, but with that freedom comes more responsibility for their own actions. He teaches his students to embrace their emotions while also teaching them self control. Emotion yet peace.

@@thunderstudent To be honest, Dave Filoni and his team always make nonsense works. We knew it from clone wars. Filoni always contradicted with countinties. He even wanted to include Revan to Clone Wars in Mortis if I am not mistaken, thank God, Lucas didn't allow. But even we analyse the scene as you see Anakin has no dark side abilities like Force lighting or even basic force scream. But in dark dimension he used red lightning. My headcanon explanation for this that since force ghost can appear as any from of their life part, Anakin appears as Vader or Anakin. Canon writers made very clear that, the jedi are balanced. In TrOS when Anakin's ghost said to Rey bring balance to the force same things happened and Rey said I am all the jedi(yeah I know this is crazy but TRoS and Ahsoka series exists in same continuity) blah blah blah. You know. And yes maybe the Prequels jedi was arrogant. But that doesn't mean they are unbalanced. In Shatterpoint and in Attack of the clones Mace and Yoda stated that there is a shadow in the force, their instincts were becoming weak. And that made blind them. And this is the jedi's fault, they never improved themselves, they never created new force abilities like the New Jedi Order. And that's why they couldn't destroy the shadow in the force. **"The Sith had changed. The Sith had grown, had adapted, had invested a thousand years’ intensive study into every aspect of not only the Force but Jedi lore itself, in preparation for exactly this day. The Sith had remade themselves. They had become new. While the Jedi- The Jedi had spent that same millennium training to re-fight the last war. The new Sith could not be destroyed with a lightsaber;"** -RoTS novel. And according to this, you are right about The preuqls jedi's corruption. They lost their way but that doesn't mean they are still "officially" balanced. This is not about only the jedi, any force user that doesn't corrupt his mind with dark side is balanced even PostIH Anakin is balanced. I want to write here a quote from Legends Book: Plagueis. ' **“Yes,” Plagueis said pensively. “But I failed to exercise due caution. As we attempt to wrest the powers of life and death from the Force, as we seek to tip the balance, the Force resists our efforts. Action and reaction, Sidious. "** ' As you see, this is the last decades of the old jedi. Their Republic is corrupted, they lost their way. But Plagueis talking about the balance. THERE WAS BALANCE and Plagueis want to destroy it. He won this war in many ways. I hope you understand this.

He also studied whatever lore he had of the light side, but only to see if there was a way he could twist and corrupt it, increasing his own power. That's about the only time he "benefited" from the light side.

The Darkside CAN grant eternal life. Plagueis figured it out and cracked that code, and theoretically short of being/killed murdered (which happened) he could have lived forever. The problem is that Plagueis took it a step further and tried to create life, and be a God. The Force struck back, and created Anakin, and we all know what happened after. Had Plagueis stayed in his lane, and stopped at immortality. It would have been been game, set, and match forever with The Sith winning for a long time. Unfortuanately when he died, the secret died with him. And Sidious never figured it out, and settled on spirit transfer and cloning, which doesn't work. It's ironic that the man's greed, and lust for power stopped him from learning the ultimate bit of knowledge that Plagueis evidently discovered in the end.

Nobody ever completely comprehended it but Anakin really *did* bring balance to the Force. He cut the Jedi down to equal footing with the Sith while simultaneously forcing Sidious/Pelagius to change his plans to achieve any sort of victory. In his wake, both orders eventually died and the Force returned to a natural balance.

Also, like even as far as basic animal/intelligent life instincts are concerned, palpatine showed a defiance to his parents before he could even walk. Like, that means basic animal imprinting and a natural draw toward one's parents aren't even present in palpatine.

Wow! I’m surprised to hear this from Palpatine

Lucas and the RotS visional dictionary both state that he believes he’s doing the right thing. “One of the issues in all of this is that the bad guys think they're good, and Lord Sidious thinks he's bringing peace to the galaxy, because there's so much corruption and confusion and chaos going on, and that now he's going to be able to straighten everything out, which may be true, but the price the galaxy's going to have to pay for it is way too much.” __ George Lucas__ Revenge of the Sith Commentary “Sidious does not consider himself evil, but rather a savior” __ RotS Visional Dictionary__ Because of those statements, I’ve always felt that Palpatine viewed himself as above everyone, yet felt it his duty as their superior to “care” for them in his own twisted way.

I mean, Palpatine not wanting to kill everyone for his empire is shared by most sith, most were horrified by Vitiate destroying his birth world so completely

This is extremely interesting. It's interesting character as evil as Palpatine feels little pull towards to the light. I good he doesn't want to rule over the galaxy of the dead.

Palpatine values Life but not in any way that could be considered sincere. He does not feel love or appreciation or compassion for another being, whether they can wield the Force or not, though he duz view those without the Power of the Force to be inherently inferior compared those who can, and especially himself. Palpatine scolding and chastising Vader for his inclination to kill others, including imperial officers, led to him confessing a particular facet of his character in the form of his hubris and vanity: He stated he does not want to rule a galaxy of the dead. This is becuz Palpatine values Life in how it can be useful to him or else be subservient to him. He looks down upon the teeming masses as inferior subjects who gaze upwards to him whether in adulation or else fear. He enjoys being a superior being to everyone around him, whether they are his highest-ranking imperial officers, a homeless vagrant with nothing to his name, and even his so-called apprentice and enforcer, Darth Vader. Palpatine achieved the Grand Plan of the Sith and thus came to the narcissistic conclusion that he is destined or perhaps cosmically chosen by the Force itself to rule all that lies within his sight and even beyond. He even views the Force as a servant to his will, a clear example of his hubris and megalomania. Had Palpatine been given love and real guidance by his family during his childhood instead of being spoiled and resented by them, or perhaps even been found and taken in by the Jedi Order, he might have grown up to be a very different person.

Well, you can occasionally see some compassion from him. McDiarmid has confirmed twice, that he saved Anakin out of compassion. “There is a moment-just one moment,” McDiarmid remembers, “It’s after Anakin’s been almost destroyed and he’s got little life in him. Palpatine has sent for a medical team and he’s waiting for them to arrive-and he just gently touches Anakin’s forehead. Sidious doesn’t have any qualities we normally associate with humanity, except he does have a master-servant relationship with Anakin. Anakin means something to him.” The Making of Star Wars: Episode III- The Revenge of the Sith J.W. Rinzler “I was pleased that when Anakin is almost brutally destroyed, Palpatine is relived to not only find him alive but also because he is Anakin Skywalker. There is one moment that George scripted in a rather casual way where I touch Anakin’s forehead. I think that’s really the only human moment we see from Palpatine-just a moment of sympathy and compassion for another human being. Not the usual ingredients of the Sith.” Ian McDiarmid--- Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: The Official Movie Companion

I didn't watch the video and I know that palptaine used forcer heal(a light side ability) to heal anaking when he was burned :)

Well weve all known for a while it was when he was falling down the reactor shaft of the Death Star after he pondered his life

You really like the word inherently.

Thought force ghosts ultimately are absorbed back into the force itself.

Just one small correction, the Dark Side does in fact offer methods of extending one's life and/or achieving immortality. Thing is, these methods are generally either highly limiting to the individual's freedom (dark side specters tied to tombs or artifacts) or extremely destructive (feeding off the life force of entire planets), and likely wouldn't interest Palpatine.

He does understand the light side well

*Sees the title and did a spit take* WAIT, WHAT?!

I thought it was going to be watching a dog chase it's tail

It seems like sidious may have not had as much to a devotion to power for the sake of power but rather a devotion to power to display the power he holds. If he were like visiate for example, he wouldn’t care if anyone saw how powerful he was, he would only care that he has the power and therefore wouldn’t care about the loss of life.

There is one thing I don't get about the Sith in general, and that's their view to dominate. The Sith thinks whose who don't seek power is to be ruled over. Yet when someone rises up to challenge them, it should earn their respect, because they do as they believe in. But instead views them as rivals to their own power. So in a way, even if the Jedi where power wielding being, not unlike the old samurai, he would still view them as rivals, only worthy of his respect, but never praise

@tw19771

The Jedi don't earn the respect from any powerful Sith, nor is respect passively granted to a Jedi. The question of Jedi vs Sith is really a question of freewill, and freedom. The Jedi do not, and never will practice freewill and freedom, because they are essentially slaves to the lightside aka Ashla. And the will of Ashla is what a dedicated Jedi will do. Protect the life that Ashla creates. A Jedi is not concerned with thinking in such a moment, nor are they concerned with any notion of respect to them granted by othera because they have none and their spirits are void of it. They are avatars of being humble, and their main selfish wish is communion with Ashla once they go to the other side. A sith is a complete 180 reversal of such a notion. They are not slaves to the force, they control it, hunt it, they will and do practice freewill. As they subjugate the force they subjugate others, and because they are free thinkers The Force hates that, because the force doesn't want to be hunted and controlled. And as such the exploits of a sith are as destructive as it is self destructive. Star Wars is a moral story asking what do you fight for etc. Lucas originally intended the Jedi to be avatars of righteousness with good vs evil being clearly defined. Good and evil, make your choice. As both philosophies have aged though, both thoughts have earned there merits. Although personally I think the sith are a bit more correct, because nobody by a psycho, bends their will for a cosmic energy they cant see and wants to commune with it. Thats jim jones crazy. And if the sith were allowed to practice compassion, the jedi would be redundant and cast aside as crazies, and well, every good story has to have an antagonist, so.

The thing about his face and body, every day he has to use the ability, "force skin" to keep his appearance up.

I think we don't know Sheev enough, especially his younger years, to find something pulling him to the light. Maybe some young love or person he cared about? Even his family he is known to regret killing. About the phrase, I believe that he values power OVER others instead of a solitude existence in an empty galaxy, which could make he stop and think about his mistakes.

Im really curious on whaf would happen if palpatine was shipped off to the jedi as a child, not specifically if he was a good guy, but if he was trained by the Jedi before turning to the dark side

Thats funny

The force grants so much power, and if you have as many midichlorians as Anakin, Luke and Palpatine, you would be able to use the force in it's fullest potential. I hate how the sith just mainly uses the Dark Side and the Jedi the side. Palpatine is the perfect example of a force user. He was so gifted that he rarely used his lightsaber. I think how one used the force depends on the emotions their feeling. If someone feels angry or scared, they can use the dark side. If someone feels at peace they can use the lightside. I think it's kinda ironic though; Palaptine wanted eternal life, but he;s literally worshiping the wrong power to get it. Although, if he did worshiped the lightside, he might become a really powerful Jedi, but that's just going to make his journey to power longer and his journey to eternal life shorter.

If only he had, even for a moment embraced the light, imagine the good he could have done.

Misleading title and unsurprising arguments. That said, great fan of the channel here. Expect to see more content in the future.

I think saying “cares about life” is a stretch. It’s more that if all life aside him is taken away, everything he worked for is gone. He wanted to enslave and rule. He was a public servant that rose to power because of people and he wanted to be worshipped. He just sees the importance of life than cares about it. He’s like Sauron where Nihilus is like Morgoth. One wants to rule the other destroy

The funny thing is, we often agree that both yin and yang are right; they both need to exist, and balance the other, but Palpatine, and the Sith, are an abomination. Even in an arrangement where the Dark Side isn't evil, depending on how one chooses to use it, and that it is the Sith teachings, not the Dark Suse base, that us bad, I'm not sure we can say that the Emperor is either yin or yang, as much as a mistake that the equation, were it capable, would factor out, in order to "purify the math. And at the risk of getting into fate v. free will territory, did Palpatine truly have a choice? Depending upon what you read, the day he was born, he was "wrong", and demonstrated abilities that regular babies wouldn't have. This isn't Dune, where sone are born with preknowledge, and begin life wirh memories, awareness, and such. I don't have any reason to think that newborn Sheev was already craving for Malice, yet the Force acted through him, and it just got worse, as time went on. Well before he could make coherent thoughts, or remember consequences of his choices, ge already seemed predestined to line up for the Dark, so would he have ever had a good opportunity to find another path, or did the Dark Side decide for him, and everyone, that there was a Darth Plagueis, and there would be a Darth Sidious?

He social butterfly till his mid thirties then ran for office of trade minister and later galaxy senate. The whole clone army fiancé by Dooku was over a card game. They were bored, they made the galaxy burn in war, and they treated it all as a game of MtG magic the gathering. 2.)

Heads the guards shots you. Tails the guards shot me.

Woo

Finally! We waited the answer for... ehh.. never?

what exactly do you mean by "FINALLY"? is this some sort of recent development?

Palpatine doesn't value life. He values the power other life forms provide him. The higher the population the more people he can rule over and the more power he has. He values power and an incentive inherent in that is keeping his followers alive or he would have nothing to rule over. If he truly valued life he would not have used his own peoples life force as source of fuel for his own longevity on Byss. Like any sociopath Palpatine has absolutely no concern for others at all. Only what others can do for him. In this case it is in Palpatine's own self interest to have followers because without them he would have no empire to rule over.

Appetite grows with the eating - especially when power is on the menu. That's the problem the Sith have: they are hunger incarnate. They can never be satiated.

cant be a king with no subjects to wield power over

If someone so strong in the force doesn't care about the light side... isn't the light side itself at fault somewhat?

Darth sidious has little light in him?! Impossible

If you really want great power, you have to cooperate with others. For this, you need to be able to make a deal all the time. This is what the Sith don't like. Cooperating with others for the common good... it's such a light side thing.

I AM THE DARK SIDE

I wonder what would happen if Sidious ever met a being with greater power then he has and could hope to have, regardless of alignment. I see five options: 1. He tries to join forces and betray them, to gain said power. Even knowing he would probably fail and risks everything in doing so. 2. He tries to kill them, out of fear or possibly envy. 3. He runs, flees back to safety, and basically pretends it never happened. (Apart from maybe a note in the book of the Sith). 4.

Palpatin's reason to care about life is greed. he views Vader killing their troops and officers as wasteful, as if he's seeing a child or frustrated student venting their frustration on his useful tools. Palpatine desires domination of all life, do to his greed and pride, thus seeing losing useful tools as a failure. if he can't teach Vader to appreciate their tools and the pure exptression of power in controlling them as holding more value then destruction, he is a failure as a teacher or at least that Vader fails as a student of immense potential. it's not love in any form, he just sees the power of diseption as more appealing then simply crushing those who oppose him. there's a reason he let Maul live after he saw him as a rival and defeated him. to destroy is mindless, to force servitude is simple, but to decieve proves intelligence.

Sidious only valued life so he could dominate it. That’s kinda makes him like a devil, while Vitiate and Nihilus were like demons, in that they wanted to destroy everything. 🤔

Pulling Palps to light??? Huh? "The Event Horizon" Of The Darkside

This actually confirms that Palpatine and Yoda are actually two sides of a coin. That's why both died in Return of the Jedi and that's why as Yoda became a Force Ghost, Palpatine used Force Transfer in order to put his soul into a clone.

😮

Palpatine is the embodiment of the dark side but you are far more safer in his presence than vaders

he’s such a purely evil character that i’m shocked *anything* pulls him to the light

He’s not pure evil. That's a very common misconception of him. Lucas and the RotS visional dictionary both state that he believes he’s doing the right thing. “One of the issues in all of this, is that the bad guys think they're good, and Lord Sidious thinks he's bringing peace to the galaxy, because there's so much corruption and confusion and chaos going on, and that now he's going to be able to straighten everything out, which may be true, but the price the galaxy's going to have to pay for it is way too much.” __ George Lucas__ Revenge of the Sith Commentary “Sidious does not consider himself evil, but rather a savior” RotS Visional Dictionary And on top of that McDiarmid has confirmed twice, that he saved Anakin out of compassion. “There is a moment-just one moment,” McDiarmid remembers, “It’s after Anakin’s been almost destroyed and he’s got little life in him. Palpatine has sent for a medical team and he’s waiting for them to arrive-and he just gently touches Anakin’s forehead. Sidious doesn’t have any qualities we normally associate with humanity, except he does have a master-servant relationship with Anakin. Anakin means something to him.” The Making of Star Wars: Episode III- The Revenge of the Sith J.W. Rinzler “I was pleased that when Anakin is almost brutally destroyed, Palpatine is relived to not only find him alive but also because he is Anakin Skywalker. There is one moment that George scripted in a rather casual way where I touch Anakin’s forehead. I think that’s really the only human moment we see from Palpatine-just a moment of sympathy and compassion for another human being. Not the usual ingredients of the Sith.” Ian McDiarmid--- Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: The Official Movie Companion

You said with twice

Palpatine doesn't value life but he understands that without life to power the galactic force he would have no power at all so even if he wanted to remove the life from the galaxy he would be harming his own power. plus how would he fullfill his desire to dominate if there was no one to dominate left ? :D

I don't believe Palpatine values life. He values servants. He values the status power provides him. Without servants he has no status and power means nothing. It's even stated in the video. He wishes to wield the power. He doesn't wish peace as we know it. Peace to Palpatine is absolute servitude. Peace as we know it is the population working towards a common goal together in harmony. Peace to Palpatine is those beneath him working as he sees fit towards his goals and his goals alone, without resistance. Which brings us back to why he wants to use power, as he knows under a tyrannical rule there will always be those who resist. Power ensures he can remove resistance in a manner of his choosing.

Why emperor Palpatine does that have Vader open a Jedi holocon if it easier for it for Vader, open it because Vader used to be a Jedi

That's why I belive Vitiate is far beyond Palpatine level. Vitiate was able to master both Light and Dark Side, even if in Abeloth like corrupted way, and thanks to this he can shiw himself as a Force Ghost and he doesn't destroy his vessels

Vitiate was pure dark entity almost like Abeloth, he never mastered Light side of the Force. Whatever, i understand the debate exists but still Sidious > Vitiate. Vitiate did get his power from many rituals and artefacts while Sidious only had by his own and even did feats that even Vitiate couldn't do. So imagine just Sidious using same rituals to boost him even more ? Now u get it, he will be unstoppable

Vitiate I overrated he needed to perform so many rituals to grow stronger his grow phase was very slow he didn't grow much in those 300+ years while papaltine exar kun didn't need to perform so many rituals to grow far stronger and much faster also exar kun possessed the ability of knowledge absortion which made him grow much stronger in a faster way.

I think Palpatine doesn't value life he'd absolutely kill the galaxy if he can't own it. He values what life could offer him outside that he couldn't care if the galaxy lived or died.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/iIenmbieY9fUdZc.html Did I just hear that Yoda had rightous memes?

I imagine a Light Side Palpatine would be like a benevolent God of the galaxy. Palpatine is not a Dark version of Yoda, but more like a Star Wars Lucifer. Or maybe a magical version of Hitler, if the galaxy was Germany. Too bad they both were made up of evil. What is needed is a Light Side version of that power.
