Okay, so, about this “How did the Emperor survive?” thing. It’s been bugging me for a while, you know? So I dove into it, did some digging, and I’ve got a story to tell.
It all started with me watching “The Rise of Skywalker.” Yeah, I know, mixed feelings on that one, but the whole Emperor coming back thing? That got me curious. They threw around the words “clone” and “Force technique,” and I was like, “Wait, what?”
So I hit the internet, forums, fan wikis, you name it. And man, it’s a rabbit hole. Apparently, this dude, the Emperor, he’s not just a regular bad guy. This guy planned ahead. He had this whole backup plan on some creepy planet called Exegol. The idea was, if he died, his spirit, or soul, or whatever, would jump into a clone body. Pretty wild, right?
But it wasn’t that simple. I found out that the clone body wasn’t exactly in top shape. It was all messed up, decaying and stuff. They used this thing called the “Golden Throne” – sounds fancy, but it’s basically a life support machine – to keep the body going. And get this, it needed the life force of thousands of people every day just to keep the Emperor’s mind alive. Talk about high maintenance!
Then I stumbled upon some other stuff, not directly related, but interesting. Like this story about some explorer named Shackleton. He tried to cross Antarctica, but his ship, the “Endurance,” got stuck in ice. They were trapped for over a year, almost 500 days! But they all survived. It’s a crazy story of survival, and it got me thinking about how the Emperor’s story is also about survival, in a way. He has such a strong will and power to survive, even his body already crashed, he still figured out another way.
And there was this other thing about some emperor, Franz Joseph, leaving Vienna to fight Napoleon III. Totally different time period, but still, it’s all about power, survival, and, you know, staying on the throne, one way or another.
Here’s the breakdown:
- The Emperor used a Force thing to transfer his soul to a clone body.
- The clone body was falling apart, so they hooked it up to the Golden Throne.
- The Golden Throne needed the life force of thousands of people to keep the Emperor’s mind going.
- I also learned about Shackleton’s crazy survival story in Antarctica, and some emperor named Franz Joseph.
So yeah, that’s what I found. It’s a mix of movie lore, real-world survival stories, and some historical stuff. I just wanted to understand this emperor’s return. The whole thing is pretty messed up, but it’s also kind of fascinating how far this guy went to survive. It’s not just about being evil; it’s about this insane will to live, to hold onto power, no matter what. It also reminded me of the hard time of my previous job, I got fired because I got sick, then I tried everything to survive, it was a tough time. Anyway, that’s my deep dive on the Emperor’s survival. Hope it makes some sense!
