Sci Fi Focus > Encyclopedia > Star Wars > Emperor Palpatine
In the Star Wars films, Emperor Palpatine (mostly played by Ian McDiarmid), also known as Darth Sidious, is a Sith Lord and the principal villain.
In Episode I: The Phantom Menace, is a Senator who is elected Chancellor of the Old Republic. He maintains this position in Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and the first part of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. During all this time, he appears as a genial old-man and the other characters do not realize that he is serving his own nefarious ends.
In Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine convinces the Senate to support a "reorganization" of the Old Republic into the Empire (with himself as Emperor). The Jedi do eventually realize that Palpatine is a Sith: Palpatine is burned during a battle with Mace Windu (who is killed), and as a result, his physical appearance is transformed. Palpatine then orders the Clone Troopers to extermine the Jedi (Order 66).
Palpatine is remains Emperor until his eventual death in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (although his character does not appear in Episode IV: A New Hope).

Product Description:
EMPEROR PALPATINE WITH WALKING STICK Star Wars 1997 The Power of the Force Action Figure & Accessories. Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, was a Force-sensitive Human male who served as the last Chancellor of the Galactic Republic and the first Emperor of the Galactic Empire. He was a Dark Lord of the Sith who followed the Rule of Two, an ancient tenet of the Order of the Sith Lords, and was the most powerful Sith Lord in galactic history. His entire life as a Sith was the culmination of a thousand year plan to overthrow the Republic and the Jedi Order from within. As Palpatine and Sidious, he was responsible for escalating Separatist crisis until a galactic-wide conflict, known as the Clone Wars, began when the rebellious Confederacy of Independent Systems challenged the Republic for primacy over the galaxy. This figure of Emperor Palpatine featured a single leg "stump" for a lower body. The outer cloak can be removed, but the figure looks the same without it. Figure includes walking stick accessory. Ages 4 and up. From Hasbro |
