Star Wars | Palpatine draws his power from a specific type of low mood


Emperor Palpatine is one of the strongest Sith, but where does his power come from? A Star Wars story reveals the source of your low mood

Who accompanies Star Wars It has long been known that a truly powerful Sith can delve deeply into their hatred to consume it and transform it into strength. Hence the importance of a lover of the Dark Side of the Force finding the fulcrum of his lowest mood to concentrate on it. And then the question remains: what is Emperor Palpatine’s source?



The answer has been given Darth VaderVol.2 #8issued by wonder Comics in 2018, at a time when Darth Vader is at Palpatine’s side and holds an Imperial colonel who has failed in his mission. The Dark Lord uses his traditional Force Choke, and before the man dies, the Emperor interrupts him, saying that Anakin needs to better control his mastery of the Dark Side.

However, at that moment, Palpatine also confesses the source of his low mood: he hates everyone he considers weaker than himself. “With the departure of the Jedi, there are very few adversaries left worthy of our skill and power,” he says.

“We are surrounded by inferior beings who deserve only our hatred. Our contempt,” he adds. In other words, Palpatine explains to Vader that hating everyone around him who the Sith consider inferior is also necessary to reach untold levels of power.




Palpatine basically says he hates everyone, meaning his low mood comes from contempt for everyone

It’s worth noting that each Sith draws their hatred from a specific source. Darth Maul, for example, was created by Palpatine to detest the Jedi and all individual members of the Order. Count Dooku came to despise what the heroes represented.

Darth Vader, on the other hand, harbored immense self-hatred, which is how he was able to grow in power after his initial corruption. And, after the above plot, it becomes clear that Palpatine literally detests everyone, and this feeling only grows as he becomes more powerful: a terrifying, self-sustaining cycle that gives Darth Sidious incalculable strength.
