#fucking palpatine

[tragedy-for-sale]

Just thinking about how Palpatine requested Anakin's company once and didn't let Obi-Wan come. And when Anakin came back he told Obi-Wan he didn't want to be a Jedi anymore. Just thinking about how much of a failure Anakin indirectly made Obi-Wan feel like.

#EXCUSE ME #fucking Palpatine #WHO LET A YOUNG BOY GO WITH THIS CREEPY AS OLD MAN #but also #if you also wanted to know #Obi-Wan said he would not break his promise to Qui-Gon #that he would train Anakin as a Jedi #Yoda said if Anakin left the order Obi-Wan could not #to reach Obi-Wan said he would leave the order too #Obi-Wan is so loyal to the Jedi #but when it comes to someone he loves #he knows he could leave his life #just for that one person #EXCUSE ME I MADE MYSELF SAD #star wars #sw #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi

*after palpatine mysteriously drops dead during the clone wars*

anakin: alright, let’s all go around and say something nice about our dearly departed supreme chancellor. mace why don’t you go first?

mace: good riddance

anakin: nope. plo?

plo: palpatine was definitely something

anakin: not even close to being nice. yoda?

yoda: abstain from this, i do

anakin: alrighty then. obi-wan

obi-wan: palpatine did in fact exist

anakin: that was all terrible, i’ll tell padmé that the jedi order will not be making a statement at the funeral

funniest part about the bounty hunter wars by K.W jeter is how palpatine thinks he's screwing boba fett over by hiring him to take down the bounty hunters' guild, completely ignorant to the fact that boba is a sicko who thinks making himself public enemy #1 of every bounty hunter in the galaxy sounds like the most fun he's had in ages.

it's literally like,

palpatine: that fool boba fett doesn't know that he is but a pawn in my nefarious plot to sow desperation and discord among the bounty hunters of the galaxy. he will be completely unprepared for the torrent of violence and retribution he is about to unleash upon himself. how wonderful it is to make a creature complicit in the workings of its own destruction! >:) boba, like 2 pages later: i can't wait to sow desperation and discord among the bounty hunters of the galaxy 😊 it's going to be sooo fun when my actions unleash a torrent of violence and retribution against me 😃 can't wait!

#palps: i'm going to make this bounty hunter's life a lawless crucible of unendurable violence and enmity that cannot be escaped #boba: JOKE'S ON YOU‚ I'M INTO THAT SHIT #also there's the potential implication that at least part of the reason palps is doing this is to fuck with vader #bc vader made the mistake of mentioning a particular interest in boba to palps #so of course palps is like ''MUAHAHA NOW YOU HAVE TO WATCH AS I PSYCHOLOGICALLY DESTROY THIS MAN'' #like sir. that man was psychologically destroyed long before you got here #you're just giving him enrichment now #look. he's playing with his food #jeter!boba you have so much wrong with you and i love you #boba fett #emperor palpatine #star wars #the bounty hunter wars #k.w jeter

[chamerionwrites]

Now and then I have a little giggle when I recall that JJ Abrams made Rey Palpatine's grandkid via some sort of nonsensical cloning plot. It's not the worst thing in the ST but I do think it's emblematic of why it's bad. Signifier without substance. Derivative *and* gutless. Tried to rip off ESB without understanding how the Vader reveal works as a narrative beat, gave Sheev spawn, and didn't even have enough courage of their convictions to admit that he fucks.

Like we all know Vader spent two decades pining gloomily after Padmé. But Palpatine? Sheev Palpatine? The guy whose two modes are smiling smug self-satisfied secret smiles to himself and crowing POWER, UNLIMITED POWER? The guy who cackles with maniacal relish anytime he gets to let his hair down and have a lightsaber fight? That guy is a hedonist. Tell me I'm wrong. That man is at all times enjoying the hell out of being irredeemably evil. He is a literal emperor, the vastly powerful and mostly unchallenged ruler of the galaxy, reveling in a victory he spent many years plotting and scheming for. And they had to invent some half-assed narrative afterthought of a cloning program rather than simply allowing us to assume that at some point in the two+ decades between ROTS and ROTJ, that man got laid? The cowardice. The incompetence. The sheer commitment to taking every conceivable L

#sheev probably fucked somebody on the THRONE #what else was he doing? lounging around the jedi temple and giggling to himself? subjecting vader to awful medical procedures for fun? #he has people to rule the galaxy with an iron fist dude is fully living his best life watching operas and doing lil sith research projects #i'm sorry i just find this SO funny. literally what is the point of the cloning shit except the creators nervously wringing their hands #and assuring us that we don't have to contemplate the evil toad man/walking corpse in bed #COMMIT TO THE BIT COWARDS #obvs i'm being a bit facetious but i'm also not #star wars #palpatine #my posts #also #on writing

[lastminutestarwarsfan]

Can someone please explain to me how in the name of God Palpatine was even able to gain so much access to Anakin? It's implied he's been keeping him close since Phantom Menace. Like I can understand after he's been knighted but as a padawan???? And not just ANY padawan but the notoriously unstable, taken-in-far-too-late-trained-by-a-barely-qualified-freshly-knighted-king-of-sass-and-oh-btw-we-think-he's-the-chosen-one padawan?? That one??? Surely there must have been parameters in place to protect Jedi children from just this sort of manipulation???? Not to mention keeping a close eye on this one in particular???

Like if it weren't so sad it would be (and admittedly is) hilarious how oblivious everyone is.

Like just imagine fucking Yoda and Mace chilling and thinking to themselves "Hmm where's that boy Anakin, you know the one we really did not think it would be a good idea to train lmao" and someone just cheerfully reasssures them "Oh don't worry his kindly pseudograndpa who is definitely not grooming him has taken him to the Opera! For cultural enrichment" Like??? Honestly I know no one suspects Palpatine is a Sith, but he's sure as hell a creepy old politician with a propensity for hanging around little boys. How is no one's alarm bells ringing?? How are the pedophilia accusations not pouring in??

#Obi wan is the only one with a hint of common sense #star wars #star wars prequels #anakin skywalker #Palpatine is a disgusting creep and if I could I'd kill him with my bare fucking hands #Anakin is a dumb babygirl who gets validation when Palps tells him he's so mature for his age and no one else understands him #Anakin is not like other girls #The Jedi are all a bunch of oblivious virgins #human disaster anakin

[stinkythehutt]

also. something about palpatine being so adept at seeing into the future that all of his successes feel completely joyless by the time he achieves them because he’s just going through the motions… how fucked up and nihilistic and brutal that would make you…

#teddy talks #anakin is like the opposite of this bc he’s tortured by his future failures #so he lives in constant terror and denial #whereas palpatine is lowkey tortured in a different way though he’d never ever label it as such #but the boredom of it all. the inescapability… #in a sense of course you would long for ultimate power over the force. because you would feel so much just like a meaningless vehicle #of its will otherwise #and anakin would be a PERFECT toy for someone like that. because he is so bewildered. he’s easy to tangle up in knots #i’m just doing some character Thinking #but yeah. of course one in palpatines position might hate the force and feel a need to lash out and dominate it #and he manages his own repressed bewilderment by manufacturing it in anakin to an extreme degree #but. importantly. while also having complete control over the machinations of anakin’s experience #and by crushing the force and all knowledge of it #CHRIST i’m back sorry but all the stuff he does to extend his life. he obviously is terrified of death #and rather than face it he just creates My Apprentice: The Guy Super Fucked Up About People Dying #to punish somebody else for his own horror…. it’s giving projective identification. not to bring freud into this

[is-that-sand-in-my-waffles]

Me: "Maul is such a deeply tragic character. The circumstances of his life did not allow room for love of any sort. He only knows pain and how to inflict it upon others. His Sisyphean quest for vengeance led to nothing but misery and loss. The only moment of peace he had was as he lay dying in the arms of his enemy."

Also me: "TOP 10 TIMES THIS WEEK MAUL WAS THE GALAXY'S MOST CRINGEFAIL LOSER"

#Darth maul #the clone wars #Tcw #star wars rebels #Swr #rebels spoilers #It's so fun to make fun of him HOWEVER he is also a complex character who I deeply pity #Had the circumstances of his life been different both he and the galaxy would've been better for it #In conclusion: fuck Palpatine

[jaguarys]

Palpatine was really the villain ever. No one is doing it like him. Come back when you've murdered your family, got into politics literally just to fuck things up, raised a murder child, groomed another child, manipulated a senate, caused a massacre, crumbled a government, created an empire, ruled as a galactic tyrant, electrocuted a shit ton of people, and been killed by a twenty-year-old farmboy. Can't even be mad because who the hell else has the audacity?

nine year old anakin really looked at padme and said i’ll marry you. oh my god help me i’m gonna cry in public

#star wars #anakin skywalker #padme naberrie #padme amidala #anidala #fuck palpatine #GEORGE LUCAS WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!!!!

[asocial-skye]

This is probably elaborated on a lot more in detailed meta, but for all of the shit that Lucas has pulled and all of his questionable decisions, Palpatine is probably his greatest triumph as a villain within narrative. Yes, he is absolutely a cartoon with no redeeming qualities, and Anakin definitely has a more dynamic character arc, but it's still incredible.

Star Wars as a franchise is associated with war and wartime: laser sword battles, epic forbidden romance, last stand trench runs against powerful enemies. It's all action, stylized violence and "rule of cool." There is good character writing and plot of course, but the public perception of Star Wars as a whole is about the cool space wizards and laser guns.

So it's absolutely curious that Lucas, in a trilogy that he said was geared towards children, had his villain do none of the things that made Star Wars so famous. Palpatine never fought ever. Except in Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine's horrible crimes all stemmed from his politics, and his cunning. Part of the Jedi's blindness to Sidious was that he was playing them on a field that they didn't expect: politics.

The Jedi are not politicians, nor have any interest in politics; the movies make this painfully clear. (The fact that the Council just goes and attempts to execute Palpatine, a popular leader who was "democratically" elected-I will give the Jedi credit; Palpatine is a monster, and killing him then and there was probably necessary- shows that there aren't the most politically minded) Palpatine literally does more damage to the entire galaxy that has repercussions for a generation- seriously, people like Biggs probably lived and died within the Empire- than Anakin could ever do during Operation: Knightfall or even as his tenure as Vader. And the Jedi can't do anything to stop it because they refused to play the game. In fact, one could make the argument that refusing to play only meant that Palpatine could carry out his agenda even faster.

It's almost like the bad guy won because any damage wreaked by an army of space wizards can be done a thousandfold by one politician. And it's like the lesson is that if you turn a blind eye to the injustices in your government, the corruption festers until it turns into something unspeakably horrid, and by then it'll be too late.

That's something to think about.

IT IS DONE!!!! NIMONA STARWARS AU!!!!!!!!!

Ok so the story of this au! (or at least what I’ve been able to think up)

Time line: the clone wars doesn’t start until Ballister and Ambrosius are about to become Jedi knights

Ballister and Ambrosius where both trained by the great Jedi master Gloreth (yea she had 2 padawans! So what!!)

At some point Gloreth and the boys are on a mission, Ambrosius is currently separated from his Master and Ballister, and Gloreth and Ballister get jumped by separatists 

When Ambrosius finally is able to find them, he see’s his master dead on the ground and Ballister holding both his own and her lightsaber with a rage in eyes

Ballister was arrested by republic authorities for suspicion of murdering his Master

(Cue that Ahsoka arc)

Ballister try’s to reason with the authorities and tell them who actually killed her, but to no avail

The Jedi council is no help either. They hold their own trial for him, he tried to reason with the council as well.

“Please Masters! Im begging you to believe me! I would never kill my master” “Ambrosius would say different.” “What..?” “When he found you, he sensed hatred. Anger” “please if you’d let me explain!” “We’ve hear enough. You Ballister boldheart, are no longer apart of this order.”

Ambrosius begrudgingly told the council that he saw the hate in ballisters eyes that day

The day before Ballister was supposed to be put on trial before the senate, he was able to escape and get off coruscant

Ambrosius was made a Jedi knight and a few days after bal escaped the clone wars stared

Note: Ballister and Ambrosius were not in a relationship cuz Jedi aren’t supposed to have attachments but they do have HUGE crushes on each other

~a few years later~ (maybe like 2 years)

Ballister has become a bounty hunter and has his own ship, bal doesn’t use his lightsaber but he has it unconstructed on his belt (like kanan)

I don’t really have a idea on how Nimona and Ballister met but it was probably on a job. It’s a good thing ballister has a extra room on his ship!!

Nimona did the foundling thing but the opposite way, child adopting the parent

Ok that’s all I got for now! Also I got no clue on how ballister lost his arm.

And as always I’m always open to suggestions!! I love hearing other people’s ideas!

#nimona #star wars #nimona starwars au #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister x ambrosius #artwork #drawing #goldenheart #this took fucking forever #Nimona painted wings on her jetpack #gay Jedi <3 #the director is a sith #full on palpatine moment

dunno who needs to hear this, but if ahsoka hadn't left she wouldn't have saved anakin, she would have just died
