>The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed and also made me look like an ancient evil monster wizard with glowing yellow eyes
>>220977410>Don’t forget my new, rasping, demonic sounding voice. That’s the result of an injury too. The endless laughter? A new nervous tic, at least that’s what my psychiatrist says.
>>220977410>also the dark robe is for medical reasons
>>220977474>>220977448>>220977410>heh but I'm the good guy! trust me!
>>220977410>The attempt on my life has left me looking like a Gungan
>>220977410who's that zesty boi next to him tho
>>220977545no true empire has ever started without a eunuch power-bottom at the emperor's side
>>220977410>>220977448>>220977474I laughed
>>220977545Why are you gay?
>>220977410As a kid I assumed this was how Sheev really looked but he used Sith Magic to look human. He was always some weird ass alien thing
>>220977410Was the bald lady his wife ? SHE CUTE
>>220977650He's 100% human in canon thoUnless Disney nixed it
>>220977711That anon is just retarded
>>220977545>>220977577That's not a boy. It's Sly Moore, an Umbara female. She's Supreme Chancellor's Chief of Staff and allegedly his loyal concubine. Sly a diehard fangirl of Darkside Force users but the problem is she's neither powerful nor important enough to become his apprentice so she just sucks his dick and eats his shit and manages his staff etc instead
>>220977770Oh, so that’s who Rey’s grandmother is
>>220977770And she was a good friend.
>>220977410What the fuck did Palpatine do to get the average joe voter to like him so much? What fucking policies was he promoting to make people just accept him emperor for life?
>>220977799Perhaps. Idk if Humans can breed the Umbara or not. Or why they would want to assuming it even is possible. I suppose Sheev would be one of the few Humans crazy enough to intentionally impregnate an Umbara
>>220977858It's a confederated republic and he wasn't a populist, he turned the senators who tended to be from ruling families of their planets by framing the Jedi as a threat to their power.
>>220977928>contol
>>220977858quick reminder that the people of naboo elected a 12 year old as queen.the prequels absolutely collapse if you think about them for more than 10 seconds.
>>220977711>canonMaybe but in the movie it seemed like he was using Sith Magic to look humannot that getting hit by his own lighting gave him...pasty skin and wrinkles (not even cool scars)
>>220977858He cracked down on crime and intergalactic slave trade
>>220977858In theory over 50% of 4chan lurkers would probably vote for Sheev given the chance but many of these loyal Sheev voters would wake up and smell the coffee years later realizing they made a big mistake after he destroys their home planets because "MUH DARKSIDE" and institutes inhumane tax policies also because "MUH DARKSIDE" and commits numerous other etc blatant atrocities simply because "MUH DARKSIDE" and literally no other reason
>>220978059>elected>queenThe only candidates in a hereditary monarchy are the ones with legitimate claims. The nobles will often prefer an easily manipulated 12 year old to their powerful uncle and it often backfires with the 12 year old growing into an even bigger threat than the uncle.
>>220978116Just like how it is with Trump!
>>220977939Did he use the force to make Senator Glop Shitto and co put him in charge or what?
>>220977410>That's so ridiculous, just look at him, how can people think he's the good guyPeople do it literally all the time in real life. Pic related
Did Sheev ever end up fixing the trade tariffs that started this whole franchise?
>>220978059>the prequels absolutely collapse if you think about them for more than 10 seconds>the Modern West absolutely collapses if you think about it for more than 10 secondsThis is not some strange alien phenomena imo. I would gladly choose to be ruled by some kind of beautiful 12 year old queen as opposed to a cold manipulative cunt like Kamala Harris or a greedy narcissistic asshole like Donald Trump if it were an option on the ballots
>>220977410he was presenting himself to a bunch of aliens, they don't know how humans work. it probably made them feel better about themselves
>>220978238No he caused it and blamed it on the bug people
>>220978116>taxNeeded for the military.>atrocitiesNeeded to suppress local powers.The Republic couldn't defend against the barbarians to the North. Three full armies were wiped out before Rome centralized and expanded citizenship with the Marian reforms which lead to Caesar.>>220978163The Shitto family ruled Shitopolis for 3000 years until the Peepee people invaded. The Shittos were forced to seek the help of the republic and got a senate seat in exchange.
>>220978246Rlm fags are incapable of critical thinking. Don't even bother
>>220978297>Tax>Needed for the militaryDoes the Empire really need 99% of the profits my already-unprofitable moisture farm brings in? Can't they just print more credits instead? Is it really necessary to murder all of the farmers who complain about Imperial tax policy with flamethrowers? It feels like these taxes fund nothing except Stormtroopers hoards. Merciless Stormtroopers who drink all my fucking water and sexually abuse my poor wife 24/7. I used to think the biggest problem in this Universe is that the Hutts are niggers. Now I realize life on Tatooine is even shittier under Empire rule than it was under Hutt rule
>>220977545That's bail organa.
>>220978485Printing credits creates inflation. Government spending needs to be limited to a fraction of consumer spending and the only way to do that is to tax the actual hordes of consumers, taxing the investor class accomplishes nothing except suppressing economic growth and creating runaway inflation.>fund nothing except Stormtroopers hoardsYes. The only role of government should be defence and border control. Some degree of tolerance for the raping of plebs is great for morale. Many are saying that without Stormtroopers raping your wife the Jedi would have used their unchecked power to destroy entire planets.
>>220978636>The only role of government should be defense>defenseWhat fucking "defense"? They don't defend shit! The only time I ever catch a break from Stormtroopers terrorizing my farm is when some tribe of Tusken Raiders or some gang of swooper punks moves into the area to terrorize us locals instead
>>220978798Defence against the Jedi, the rebels and trade federations trying to stop the flow of goods, without foreign trade there would be no local demand for your moisture. The Jedi weren't content with controlling you using mind control magic so they raised a secret army to dominate the galaxy. Without the empire you would be a slave like your stepmom.
>>220977858What do you think would have happened if Abraham Lincoln declared himself Emperor of America right after the Civil War ended?
>>220978636>Some degree of tolerance for the raping of plebs is great for moraleThank you. That bitch was putting up a fight illegally.
>>220978166Both sides of the spectrum overanalysing the fucking lighting of this speech was one of the zestiest spectacles of faggotronics my poor tired eyes did ever see.
>>220978966>foreign tradeFuck Galactic trade! In fact I hope Rebel agents hijack a Star Destroyer and crash it into the Galactic Trade Center>JediWow. 99.99999% of people in the Galaxy go their entire lives without ever even seeing a Jedi once. How serious of a problem can they be?>RebelsNo member of the Rebel Alliance ever stole my water or raped my wife>Trade FederationsFake news>there would be no local demand for your moistureLess than 1% of my World's surface is water. Of course it'd be in demand here if not for Imperial occupation
>>220979022I don't see that changing the getting shot factor.
>>220979141>Fuck Galactic trade!Your planet is a trade hub with no food. You grow moisture for traders who pay you in food because you can't grow any.
>>220977858All his competition resigned or died under "mysterious circumstances"
>>220979164Yeah, that's because Abraham Lincoln wasn't a wizard.
>>220977410the corruption was so deep that by that point nobody cared
>>220979205That we know.
>>220977410He was clearly supposed to be getting gradually physically corrupted by his dark powers as seen in Episode II. George is such a hack.
>>220978246No you wouldn't you dumb faggot. I want you to imagine a current 14 year old girl in a position of power. You do that? Yeah now you know why no one would elect one.
>>220978116The average fa/tv/irgin would vote Palps for shits and giggles but they don't represent the majority, who probably don't vote at all.
>>220979022He almost did
>>220979193>no foodI'll concede that Womp Rat is not good eating. But Bantha Burgers are very tasty. Dewback and Eopie are over-populated easy prey making for nutritious decent meals too>can't grow any foodAre you unfamiliar with Tatooinian mushrooms?
>>220979141>hijack a Star Destroyer and crash it into the Galactic Trade CenterStar destroyer fuel can't melt durasteel beams.
>>220977410>>220977448>>2209774744.1/5 on Letterboxd
>>220979327Yes I would. You underestimate my distaste for Trump and Kamala
>>220979327>abolish public education and enforce homeschooling and replace the 9 to 5 for men with mandatory back ridesSounds good to me.
75% of the prequels are complete fluff.
>>220977858just imagine how many people live on a city planet like coruscant alone, the average voter is a semi-sentient alien
>>220977858Voting is fake and gay
>>220979694wrong
>>220979694Not voting makes you complicit in all the decisions you hate anon
>>220979439sold to white slavers
>>220979766on the contrary, by voting you give them legitimacy
>>220979420Yet you farm none of them because you're a coddled dependent and Alderan berry juice addict. You wouldn't last a week without Jawadash.
>>220979483Amygdala was a brainwashed globohomo libtard. Her family turned Naboo into an impotent service economy that couldn't sustain itself or defend against a Walmart army.
>>220977410stress is no joke
>>220977448>now I'm always smiling!
>>220979763>>220979766Decades ago California voted against amnesty and public services for illegal migrants. Judges ignored them and went ahead with it anyway.Voting is a meme.
>>220979327>>220978246You guys never saw the cute princess Spain had for a while. I would have taken Constantinople for Christendom for her.
>>220977858anon think about how little the average joe right now has an impact on our congress. now imagine that congress is half a galaxy's length away from you.
>>220979766>Not voting makes you complicit in all the decisions you hateHow? They had no part in enacting them. They're the least responsible.
>>220980707The average Joe on Naboo voted for a town council member, that council ratified the decision of the local lord to support Amygdala. She votes in the senate. As it should be.
>>220977410>Did I mention that my new empire will be human-supremacist and you’ll all be 2nd-class citizens at best, slaves at worst?>>220978059>Prequels are all muh democracy>One of the main characters is an ‘elected’ monarch
>>220977858Did you watch the movies?George always calls Palpatine Nixon but the truth is he's really a lot more like if FDR decided one-day that he was Emperor of the world
>>220979327As long as she wasn't a progressive or a Zionist I would gladly take a 14 year old girl over my own rulers, at least she wouldn't be interested in locking down the Internet.
>>220977410>>220977650>>220977711Why didn’t Luke change appearance when electrocuted
>>220981204Same reason he's blonde, he's inherently good.
>>220981131>14 year old girl>not progressive Anon I...
>>220977410What I always wanted to know, what did most of the citizens think of him? Did he ever make public appearances? If so, was everyone required to kneel? Did he have a true throne room? Regalia other than the wizard robe?
>>220977770>Sly MooreWhat a hilariously banal name for a Star Wars character. Shittu Glup must be jealous.
>>220981204he was attacked, it wasn't from inherent lurking evil. That said it would be cool if he was slightly disfigured from it
>>220978059>quick reminder that the people of naboo elected a 12 year old as queen.The Plagueis novel suggested this was deliberate, Sheev propped her up in the interest of having a weak and ineffective leader who would crumble when the Trade Federation invaded>but that's side shit and not in the moviesI know, I just thought it was neat
>>220981870and what was his tax policy like?
really says something about 21st century culture that the prequels are so shit but have made such an impact
>>220982279It turns out "they're bad because... they just are!" isn't convincing
>>220977410I can't believe the Jedi would do this to a feeble old man.
>>220982300they're garbage but have sovlthis is the power of lucas
>>220982300>>220982334revenge of the sith is elite, it just is
>>220982334>they're garbage because... they just are!It's like poetry
>>220982300people have written entire tomes on why they are bad, since TPM first came outignoring the criticisms doesn't mean it doesn't exist
>>220982397Which universally boil down to "I don't like it so it's bad", which is shit reasoning
>>220980247>Alderan berry juiceThe price of that shit recently shot through the roof for some reason.
>>220982428>Which universally boil down to "I don't like it so it's bad"no, they don't
