Sam Witwer talks Sith Afterlife | Why Palpatine's "return" makes no sense

Ойын-сауық

This clip is from a Clone Wars Season 5 featurette "Shades of Reason", and Sam Witwer basically explains that Sith don't believe in life after death, the opposite of Jedi. That once a Sith dies... that's it. So Palpatine dying in ROTJ but casting his spirit to another body doesn't line up with this and the ways of the Sith. Man Sam Witwer knows his shit XD

Unless they can control someone else body, they are trap in a certain location like their tomb like the original sith world Kobbrian. The only Sith that have truly success in achieve force ghost immortally like Yoda, Obi Wan and Anakin was Darth Marr from the Old Republic for he was generally work for the greater good for his empire, not selfish like many of his peers, and did not fear death in the sense of try to cheat it to betray his values.

    The way I see it, Palpatine was only brought back in Rise Of Skywalker because Snoke died in Last Jedi. Since Episode 7, 8 and 9 were being advertised as a connected trilogy, every decision within those films has to have a purpose and lead up to the following storyline. If they make it so that Snoke was alive in Episode 9 or if they just introduce some other new original villains, viewers who seen Episode 8 will be on this paradox of asking "what the hell was the point of killing off Snoke to begin with?"

    To the talk of Vader being cut up and Maul being cut in half. Vader arms and legs were cut off but his core body remain in intact, in a science term of biology, you can live with out your arms and legs as long the core body that contains one interior organ. Being burn alive, you won't die instantly but suffer a long agonizing death unless someone intervenes which did happen by Sidious arrival and the clones having a medic kit to performing BLS until Vader got into the surgeon. Maul was cut in half, destroying or damaging his interior organs. Fall down the bottomless pit and have no medical intervention and contiune to survive without replacing or repair the damaged organ for over ten years, meaning Maul didn't go to the bathroom in that time to get rip of waste and toxics that will be builting in bloodsteam. Vader survival is plausible in the timeframe given. Maul's survival was base solely on super plot armor. Of course, Sidious survival was completely base because Snoke die.

    The Sith live for this life. The Jedi live for the next. That's why Jedi have Force Ghosts and Sith do not. To have a Sith transcend death in anyway fundamentally goes against this fundamentally idea of Star Wars. That's why Sith work so hard to say alive, because they know there is nothing left for them after. But no one is immortal and no matter what a Sith does, he will die eventually and there is nothing left for him after death. But the Jedi don't fear death and in return, they are rewarded with not victory in life, but victory in death by being Force ghosts. It's iconic, the Sith seek immortality but they can never achieve it because of their twisted ways. The Jedi do not seek immortality but are rewarded with it because of their moral ways. This is a fundamental concept in Star Wars and Lucas is trying to say something deeper about human morality. You can be a Sith, kill and abuse people and cling to power in this life. But eventually you will lose it all and be rewarded with nothing. Or you can be Jedi by helping people, not caring about material things, and not fearing death. And if you are a Jedi, you will be rewarded with everlasting happiness and enlightenment beyond this finite world. And this is just another reason why I can never buy the sequels as canon. The sequels broke this fundamental rule. To say Sidious survived this explosion and transcended death goes against everything Lucas ever said about the Jedi and Sith. To be fair, the EU did this too and it must just as little sense, but Lucas did not have direct control over the EU and the films are more important because they override the EU. Having Palpatine return is just so wrong thematically (and that's not even going into how it messes up the prophesy of the Chosen One)!

    And that’s precisely it. The Jedi have no problem with death, they don’t fear it. They recognize that death comes to all things and that it may be a necessary sacrifice in the pursuit of galactic peace and stability. When they die they believe they become one with the Force. That’s also why they forego all emotional attachment and personal belongings. They’re similar to monks in that way. For the Sith though, this life is everything. To be on the verge of death for them means that everything they’ve worked for is being taken away and they can’t stand it. That’s why Maul survived, that’s why Anakin survived, they were fueled by pure hatred and rage. They were quite literally “too angry to die.”

    There is actually a canon way in which Palpatine could have returned in a way that made more sense. Trapping their soul into an inanimate object before their death. Like in the canon comics one ancient sith tramsferred his soul into his mask before his death. Sidious could have transferred his soul into Vader's helmet. He could have been manioulating Kylo Ren through it, making him think was receiving instructions from Vader. It could have even explained his fall to darkside if Luke kept Vader's mask and then Kylo started hearing what he though was Vader's voice from it. Kylo could have crafted a new mask from that vader helmet which would have allowed Palpatine to control its wearer. Like Kylo or Rey.

    To be fair, the idea that Palpatine had a backup plan for the case he died makes sense, considering how paranoid, megalomaniacal and resourceful he was. In fact, that exact plot point was handled before in the EU... and just like Disney it was handled... badly, and the storyline remains controversial for a reason. But it's not because it couldn't be done (although I believe it probably shouldn't have been done), but rather because it was presented so freaking poorly that you couldn't take it seriously in any way, and while Ian McDiarmid's performance was entertaining as always, it was entertaining DESPITE the writing, not because of it.

    This is basically your argument: *"Sith believe that there is no life after death, the opposite of the Jedi; they believe that once they die, that's it.* *So, if Palpatine dies, he's dead for good because that's what Sith believe.* *But Palpatine died and came back, which is not what the Sith believe.* *Therefore, Palpatine coming back makes no sense."* The issue is you are interpreting Palpatine's returning to life in another body as evidence of Palpatine believing in an afterlife. But Palpatine coming back from the dead (clone or not) is not the same as Palpatine believing in the afterlife. If anything, such actions CONFIRM Palpatine didn't believe in an afterlife. *CONSIDER:* The Sith don't believe in finding immortality through the Force (life after death or the "afterlife"); Jedi do. This is what separates the Jedi and the Sith, the spiritual vs the physical. Jedi reject the dark side, accepting the will of the Force to become one with it. When Yoda died, his spirit left his body. That was natural death. Shortly thereafter, his body followed. Like Kenobi, he had trained and accepted the will of the Force, and so his physical form became one with the Force, making him a Force Ghost. That is the "afterlife" which the Sith didn't believe in and the immortality they couldn't achieve. Sith cling to the dark side, which is why they can't ever become Force Ghosts; they are attached too much to the physical world and their own power. This is why everything is at stake if they die, and this is why Palpatine wanted to find the secret to cheating death. (And also why Force Ghosts are more powerful than Sith can imagine). Palpatine sought after immortality within the physical world, so, while literally projecting his spirit from his old body to another clone body by using his bloodline as an anchor did result in Palpatine dying because his spirit separated from his body, it was an unnatural death since Palpatine's methods with the dark side resulted in his returning in a clone body. That's not the same as the Force Ghost afterlife the Sith didn't believe in; It was just a transfer of his spirit from one physical form to another (and an inferior one at that; whereas a Force Ghost is more powerful than one can imagine, Palpatine became weaker, barely able to be considered a Sith Lord). Don't confuse the persistence of Palpatine refusing to let go of the physical world through another physical form as him believing in the ability to transcend death to become one with the Force the way a Jedi's spirit and body would.

    The difference is, a person can actually survive with 3 degree burns and/or losing their limbs vs someone who got their gut slashed in half falling/spiraling down a fucking long ass shaft until going splat to his death, there is no coming back from that. No amount of fanboyism, fan fic, licensed fan fic, mental gymnastics can object to that.

    Sam is 100% correct, but the argument this video posits is not. Sheev returning in Ep IX agrees with the Sith mentality, but it was executed horribly by JJ Abrams and co. Palps would want to cling on to the mortal plane and avoid death at all costs, even if it meant cloning his body and making stupid Snoke tanks. Only in this way can he maintain a grip on the power he amassed throughout the saga. Man, that Disney product was absolutely disgraceful.

Mauls death was empty i guess his comeback was one of the best thing in clone wars he evolved many characters like ashoka,obi wan,bo katan we got good fights like maul and savage against obi wan or against sidous

  • @JGPRIME25

    This is exactly why it does makes sense for Palpatine to return. The Sith can't let go. Palpatine is basically being held by a gigantic mechanical arm. He is not alive. He is just trying really hard. He has two options in his mind: Kylo and Rey. If Kylo kills all the human connections he has (Han, Leia, Luke and Rey), he'll soon strike down Sheev like he tried with Luke and in this way, Palpatine not only gets a way to transfer his spirit, but also a way to take on revenge against the Skywalker bloodline. But when Leia disrupts his plan, he comes back to his plan B and tries to seduce Rey. In fact, I'd say he told Kylo about her heritage because he knew if she knew, she'd panic (But he didn't count with Luke's peep talk). He tries to get her to strike him down with two things: 1. Her blood. By assimilating her to him. This immediately fails. 2. The fact he got her parents killed. This also fails as she draws strength from their sacrifice. 3. The classic "You brought your friends here." She almost gives in to this. But there is something that sets him apart from who he was in Return of The Jedi: He saw what family can accomplish. He saw what Luke did to Vader, so because Rey has no other blood relative, he believes she is completely wrong. But this is the thing Rey learns and Palps fails to learn is that some things are stronger than blood. Her blood connection with him doesn't mean anything, but her connection to Ben, to her new family, to her teachers, to the Force, that means a thousand times more. It's what saves her. It's what makes her succeed and it's what saves her. It feels fitting to me that the line he used against her: "Your master Luke Skywalker was saved by his father. The only family you have here is me." is used against him through her actions. She reflects his own lightning, like so many tried before here and in that moment, the only thing Sheev has is himself. His doom comes because of his own power, his own hate and when he is desintegrated, it feels like his own self contained hate simply spreads throughout the church and destroys his own cult. Rey made the Sith destroy itself. That's the conclusion: Sheev is truly alone. The Skywalker family achieves immortality and even stops someone from dying, not by taking, but by giving. So Ben learns what Anakin couldn't in Revenge of The Sith: You don't have to kill the world for someone to live, you have to be selfless.

    Rules are meant to be broken, and George Lucas himself altered many, many things over the years, both on an ideas/outline/script level as well as literally retconning and altering the OT. The only thing that made the thoroughly underwhelming sequel trilogy remotely exciting was the announcement of Palpatine's return. Could it have been executed better? Yes. But Darth Sidious inclusion was the best thing about the ST--and that says a lot about the overall quality of the trilogy, unfortunately.

    Palpameme Maul didnt just fall into some garbage lmfao. He had his torso cut in half. Half his vital organs were destroyed. He had no stomach, liver, kidneys, intestines, etc. The amount of internal bleeding would’ve killed him instantly but even if he could survive that, all of his vital systems were destroyed. His digestive system, for example. Moreover, Maul fell god knows how far down that shaft which also should’ve killed him instantly. Palpatine’s survival MUCH makes sense.

    @@ReySkywalker2 ok so first of all all your vital organs, being your heart and lungs, are in the top half of your body. That why people can survive without legs. That's not uncommon. People who have no legs from the waist down compete in the Olympics for goodness sake. Surviving being cut in half, while extremely rare, is still possible, even in our world. Falling down a pit while being electrocuted and then exploding in a blue wind and then the mid-sized station you fell into exploding is a lot harder to survive. Palpatine's body died. What's the point. Maul didnt. Keeping oneself alive long enough to build some spider legs is more believable than literally thrusting your own consciousness out of your dying body into a clone of yourself halfway across the galaxy.

    Palpameme Lmfao. What?! I said HALF his vital organs and HALF of your vital organs are in the bottom half of your torso. Maul doesn’t just not have legs “for goodness sake”. He was cut at the torso. It’s not possible, at all, to survive without half of your organs. Stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver, etc. Palpatine’s survival, on the other hand, makes MUCH more sense. His body didn’t survive for starters, he simply used a new force ability to transport his spirit into a clone body. Using the force to thrust your spirit into a clone is far more believable than surviving the internal bleeding of being cut in half, surviving a fall of over 100 miles, surviving 10+ years with half of your vital organs missing (how the fuck does Maul eat, huh? He has no digestive system. Hell, his anus is missing XDXD) and surviving all the internal bleeding for 10+ years too. Just face it, Maul’s survival makes exactly ZERO sense, whilst Palpatine’s does.
