>most powerful Sith lord who ever lived
>his name is Sheev
Seriously?
>>
>>214821261
It was Cos Dashit, then got officially changed to Cos Palpatine*, then redditors got it changed to Sheev, which sounds stupid.

>then redditors got it changed to Sheev
didn't it come from the original live action series that Lucas was developing?
>>
>>214821552
I think so, but those types I mentioned were the same types of people.

Correct. Officially the name first came up in James Luceno's Tarkin novel, and Luceno revealed that he got the name from Lucas' Underworld scripts. Lucas almost made Sheev an incel, who was wronged by a gangster woman.
>>
>>214821616
>Lucas almost made Sheev an incel
sadly we don't know if that's true or not. no details were revealed about what happened
>>
>>214821656
Someone should ask Lucas before God gets lonely again.
>>
>>214821261
Valkorion and Nihilus would have laughed at him if either of them were canon
>>
>>214821440
Good thing his name got changed at first coz dashit.

Naw, cuz, 'cause Cos Dashit was da shit, b.

this is a disney invention, best EU headcanon is that he shares his father's name, Cosinga

Imagine worshiping Lucas when he nearly gave us such idiocy
>>
>>214822280
>worshiping
Why do so many anons insist on projecting extreme behavior onto others sight unseen? If I appreciate his work and his thoughts, then it's worship, but if I called him bad names I'd be a bigot. And by the way, the original Star Wars, not the sequel or anything else, is a work of sheer brilliance and reaches sublime heights in its original cut.
>>
>>214821261
I suppose you'd prefer it if his name was something kewl like Hellscream or Shadowblade.
>>

Thomas Abyss Palpatine
His school buddies called him Taps.
>>
>>214821261

He isn't even in top 10.

Probably his worst decision ever, it's a good thing the show wasn't made even if the leaked footage though rough looked nice.

Now that looks official.

Uh. No. Sidious would have stomped on them.

Also. Star Wars power level arguments are fucking retarded. EU writers weren’t ever on the same page ever.
>>
>>214822459
He’s quite literally in the top ten. Easily top three. Canonically number one.

Nothing compared to the powers of Darth Icky and Darth Insanius
Those were the truly powerful ancient sith lords that made Sheev look like a little kid

Lorefags OUT
Movies Palpatine is in the Top 3 at minimum
Maybe only Prime Yoda or Muh-Rey Sue fused with Kylo's Force spirit can be up to debate
He literally states that he's ALL the Siths

EU tumblr fanfiction tier slop doesnt count

>Probably his worst decision ever
His worst decision was to make Sheev's appearance the result of him frying himself with lightning rather than it being the effect of dark side decay like every viewer and EU writer had assumed.

tl;dr this retarded short story reveals that tarkin and the stormtrooper whose armor han solo stole on the death star were prodding each other's trash compactors
>>
Darth Trannicus is the most powerful Sith with his unmatched evil.
>>
>>214822252
One of the short stories in this book is about Tarkin grooming TK-412 if I remember correctly, another is about how the Dianoga that dragged Luke under the water was actually trying to baptise him kek.

HA! What
Are you sure that isn't parody?

> "The Rebels were turning out to be more troublesome than many had expected. The Emperor had known it would be thus, of course; the resistance had not been a surprise to him. The Emperor was completely in concert with the dark side of the Force. He was the most powerful Sith to have ever existed."

> "...Yoda could not hope to defeat the most powerful Sith Lord in history."
-- The New Essential Chronology, page ??? (I don't own the book).
> "Beyond the vision of the Jedi Knights, somewhere within the darkness, the greatest master of evil ever to use Sith power bides his time. As his strength grows, his plans begin to shape the course of the galaxy, and his snares await the unsuspecting."
-- The Complete Visual Dictionary, page 72.
> "Palpatine has risen from the dead. The most powerful Sith Lord who ever lived had returned."
-- Dark Empire Sourcebook, page 109
> "He gave up everything to the Dark Side long ago. He has become the greatest who ever lived. He is the strongest who ever lived....I say we give what he wishes."
-- Empire's End
> "No. Exar Kun, Naga Sadow and the others are on a firmly lower tier than Emperor Palpatine."
-- Star Wars Insider, Kevin J. Anderson, upon asked if he ever intended his Sith to be stronger than the OT Sith
> "Palpatine at his peak."

Sheev was basically a capital-w Wizard in Sith ways. He could create new dark side powers on a whim. He understood the nature of the Dark Side like no other. He *knew* how it worked.

Let me guess, it escaped the Death Star via its own space ship?
>>
Sheev in the comics could literally rip apart planets and suck the life out of billions living on them.
>>
>>214823198
He could also steal bodies like a parasite which is how he survived death. His dark side powers were so strong he couldn’t stay in a clone body for very long before it fell apart and disintegrated.

It just occurred to me that "Darth" is a gender neutral title, because women like Darth Traya (who betrayas you) also have it. Very forward-thinking of the Sith, maybe they've been misrepresented by jedi historians.

Just because something was made didn't make it canon. Authors put out dozens of ideas, some outrageously stupid, others fantastic, and fans decided on a canon consensus that everyone was happy with. Same thing with the dumb suncrusher. There's a reason it's only in one shit book and not in every story related to star wars. The fandom was better when it eas this way. Ideas were free to experiment with and see if they were hits or not. And the audience wasn't just lumped with garbaged and told to eat it and enjoy it or get out

What’s canon or non-canon is a debate even today, anon. I hardly consider Disney to be absolute canon. No one does. The EU is vastly more creative and inspirational.
>>
>>214824072
If I like it its canon. If I dont like it its noncanon. Simple as.
>>
>>214824072
Canon isn't really important, it's quality that matters. I don't accept the KOTOR games as canon due to the flimsy premise that 4000 years ago the galaxy was almost exactly the same but for a few superficial details. Yet I do accept them as good Star Wars because they tell entertaining stories and that's as much as can be asked of the franchise.

i'm sure his mother just somehow knew he was destined to become a sith lord and emperor of the galaxy so she purposely named him Sheev
