It should be a reoccurring gag in all the movies that boba Fett shows up and then dies but in a way where you could claim he didn’t actually die so he can come back for the next movie and fake die again

the funny thing is it actually does make some some sense. The whole clone army thing was basically just the Emperor testing the viability of clone bodies en masse. Sometimes Sheev really does seem like the mastermind that Lucas intended. And sometimes he just seems like a doofus who claims to know the future even though he literally never seems to have seen anything coming at all.

YES give us more sequels! i kinda like how ambitious the comics try to be, and i really like the art style

I actually wouldn’t mind a recap of the other Emperor resurrections.

I once was threatened for saying the Last Jedi was “ok” instead of terrible. They told me to read Dark Empire instead, saying that it didn’t make the same mistakes. I find that it did the same things as TLJ but worse; Luke actually turning to the dark side, palpatine in the form of a kid near the end, hell, I think the Emperor even said that Endor wasn’t the first time he died.

Andy Howard sometimes inaction could be a viable action. I think his point was how the Jedi kept getting involved in things they should’ve stayed out of, from investigating the separatist movement to leading the clone army into battle. They’re actions, along with their conviction that their actions would improve matters, played into Palpatine’s hands.

I wish they could bring these comic videos back, they’re so great. They’re more editing work, but I’d love even just one a year

I want the full trilogy of these comics. DO IT

In the novelization of the first film (which came out before the film itself) it was revealed that his name was Palpatine and that he was a senator who became "President" of the Republic (changed to Chancellor for the PT) before declaring himself Emperor around the time the Jedi were taken out. So the basics of his backstory were there from the beginning. The only real difference is that the prologue to the novel assumes that his cronies likely have the real power and he is basically a puppet who is hidden away from the people, but even that can be seen as a theory by the people since it is an in-universe document from the "Journal of the Whills."
