Today I’m gonna talk about how Emperor Palpatine survived, based on what I’ve found and done.
So, first off, I watched that Star Wars movie, “The Rise of Skywalker”. It seemed pretty clear that the Emperor we saw there wasn’t the same guy who got thrown down the Death Star’s shaft in “Return of the Jedi”. I mean, the dude was crispy. It got me thinking, so I started digging around.
I found out that Palpatine probably used some kind of Force trick to move his soul into a clone body he had stashed away on this creepy planet called Exegol. I went to my old Star Wars books and, yeah, there’s some stuff about Sith Lords being able to do that, transfer their essence, or whatever.
Then I got into this whole thing about how his body was all messed up and decaying. I watched some lore videos and read some comics. It looks like his new body couldn’t really handle his power. He needed all this machinery, like that Golden Throne thing, and some seriously dark rituals to keep himself going. Supposedly, he was using the life force of others to stay alive, which is super messed up.
Next, I looked into what happened right after Palpatine supposedly died. I learned about something called “Operation: Cinder”. Apparently, it was Palpatine’s final revenge plan, designed to mess up the galaxy even if he died. I found some old forum discussions where people were debating the details of the operation. There are even some novels that describe all that, so I might check them out.
Here’s the gist of what I figured out:
- Palpatine knew he might die, so he planned ahead. Classic villain move.
- He used some kind of Force power to jump into a clone body.
- The clone body was weak and needed machines and dark rituals to keep it alive.
- Even in “death”, he had a plan to wreck the galaxy.
I also did some extra searching about Elisabeth of Bavaria and Emperor Franz Joseph. I watched a series called “The Empress” on Netflix. It’s about how Elisabeth, also known as Sisi, married Franz Joseph and became the Empress of Austria. I found out that Franz Joseph was actually supposed to marry Sisi’s older sister, Helene. But when the families met, he fell for Sisi instead. Pretty interesting, right?
I also learned that Elisabeth’s life was pretty tragic. She was assassinated while she was in Geneva. Some guy named Luigi Lucheni stabbed her while she was trying to catch a ferry. It’s a sad story, but it got me curious about the real history behind the show. So I did some more digging and found out that Elisabeth and Franz Joseph were actually first cousins. That added another layer of complexity to their story.
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. It’s been a wild ride, diving into all this Star Wars and historical stuff. I’ll probably keep digging, ’cause there’s always more to learn, it’s really fun to find out how everything is connected, you know?
Anyway, that’s it for now. Hope you found this interesting!
