See, when it came out, Star Wars was a film that everyone could find something in it that interested them. It's because he represents the fall of the franchise in the most grotesque, depressing way possible. Not because he's unrivaled as the most annoying character in the franchise (even young Anakin can't hold a candle to him in that category). Not because he's the epitome of uncanny-valley creatures that try to look impressive but end up looking like the work of horror film costume designers from the 1950s. No wonder both parties decided to prioritize finding Palpatine.Alright, you may think that the thread has been lost, but listen: the introduction of Jar Jar Binks is the worst decision ever made in the history of Star Wars. Meanwhile, the highest-ranking Resistance leaders - including General Leia Organa herself - would have been shocked to hear the connection made public. Ironically, though, the very fact Palpatine linked himself to the Sith would have made the First Order and the Resistance take the message seriously. As the grandson of Darth Vader, Kylo Ren would have known that the Emperor was a Sith, as would some former Imperials in his Supreme Council. So most citizens would probably have viewed this message as a weird hoax. The galaxy's general populace seem to have believed the Sith had been rendered extinct millennia ago, and many considered them to be nothing more than a legend. ![]() Even among the Empire, only the highest-ranking Imperials knew that Palpatine was a Sith Lord, and there's actually no evidence the New Republic ever made this public knowledge they probably figured it would look like propaganda. Emperor Palpatine was quite a reclusive figure once he had successfully taken command of the galaxy, making as few public appearances as possible, meaning most people wouldn't have recognized his voice in the first place. And we’ve updated bios on key players from the new film including Rey, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, Finn, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, Lando Calrissian, Emperor Palpatine, and of course the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon. Of course, the transmission wouldn't have meant quite so much to the citizens of the galaxy as it would have to people playing Fortnite. ![]()
