"You have been going behind my back and building a power base that you plan to use to usurp me?"

My personal head-canon, I am a movie only fag, was that the Dark Side amplified the darker parts of your personality. The deeper the fear or anger, the greater the effect. Dooku was a count, not that afflicted by the dark-side because he had a nice life. Vader was a slave, darkside was strong. Palpatine was a low tier politician who had to deal with bureaucracy, one of the greatest Siths to ever live.

Following this logic a minimum wage cashier would be the most powerful Sith.

Whoops, sleep deprivation made me forget my point. If you had to deal with the bullshit low level politicians have to listen to, you too would want to create an Empire that mostly existed to make everyone suffer.

I can buy something like that. The way of the Sith and all. I just loathe the whole "Palpatine put fucking needles inside Vader's helmet which like, constantly drilled into his skull" edginess. It robs Vader of any agency and basically makes him a pathetic faggot at Palpatine's mercy, destroys any resemblance of Sith Doctorine/Tradition, and merely exists to be "shocking".

Palpatine could kill Vader whenever he wanted. He schemed to replace him with a non-gimped apprentice.

>lets take over the galaxy for no reason
Wut? Ultimate power is not a reason? Are you high?
>>hurr let's be corrupt and fuck everything up for no reason
Elaborate.
>hurr let's destroy our limited planets for no reason
There are literally thousands of inhabited planets in the Star Wars galaxy. Destroying one ro two isn't a big deal. It's like blowing up a citiy on Earth.

Your logic is flawed because Dooku was a Jedi before he was a count, and Palpatine was from a rich family. He lived on easy mode. Also, being a senator isn't low level. It's extremely powerful.

Star Wars was never good, literally everything not copied from other franchises is extremely amateur.

Aphra is insufferable

If he could take out Vader whenever he wanted then he wouldn’t need to scheme to replace him. He would definitely kill Vader in a 1vs1, but Vader would cut him down before he would succumbed to his suit failing.

>hurr lets take over the galaxy for no reason
Power.
>hurr let's be corrupt and fuck everything up for no reason
Power, with the Force.
>hurr let's destroy our limited planets for no reason
One planet out of millions that belong to him. It's fine.

I also think that Sheev probably knew that a smug "That's a very good scheme! In fact, we're going to put your schemes up on the fridge, because we want to look at it all the time! Good boy!" response is the power move. You try and punish him or in any way intimate that what he did was actually a threat, you actually encourage the behaviour.

I was under the impression that Sheev was trying to stop the galaxy from getting VONG'D.

Why didn't Palpatine body jump into Vader when he killed him?

I unironically love palpi-vader relationship in robot chicken. Like, they both hate each other, but stil are best friends because they see any non-sith as less than garbage.
I keep imagining Palpi being crazy lonely in the sequels, shitting on vader but still missing him.
>"Train with me Kylo Ren and you will become more powerful than your stupid charred incel son of a whore grandpa"
>"yes...I'm nearly as powerful as him, soon I will be stro--
>"hahaha nearly, you are like, 1/8 of a vader. Crazy son of a bitch could kick your ass while jerking off his non-existent lump coal penis"

He's an archetype, absolute power is his only goal. He's probably one of the best examples on how to do a pure evil character. His complexity doesn't come from his personality but from his schemes. Also he's just flat out entertaining.

Pain fuels their dark side powers. He doesn't make Vader suffer because he hates him, he does because it makes him more effective. Also, it's hilarious.

Every single thing about SW is stupid when you think about it.

When Vader betrayed Palpatine and tossed him down a shaft, do you think Palpy was just a little bit proud?

Did you miss the part where Vader offered Luke to join forces and overthrow the Emperor?
Fucking moron.

It was literally the culmination of everything the sith do

>Betray master, Get new apprentice
>Get betrayed, your apprentice gets one

Sure I'm sure he was mad that his plans got thrown back a couple decades, but I'm sure he felt some real pride in Vader.

>He's probably one of the best examples on how to do a pure evil character
>Plagueis told me to be evil so I'm Le Evil *evil laugh*

I want to see a kabal of old, old sith and their apprentices confront palpatine and kill him

Death is a concept invented by the Jedi
I don't even know how to spell it!

is this supposed to arouse me?

>let's be corrupt and fuck everything up for no reason
There people like this IRL and they hold the highest positions.
