Palpatine's SURPRISING Original Backstory (Pre-Empire Strikes Back) | Star Wars Lore

Emperor Sheev The Senate Frank Palpatine, aka Darth Sidious dark lord of the Sith. A character beloved and loved to be hated by many in our fandom once upon a time had a very different backstory. EckartsLadder does a deep dive into the Dark Lord's origins from an Out of Universe perspective and how once he wasn't even a dark lord at all.

Using out of universe material and seeing the evolution of the story is cool. What might have been and why an idea did or did not work. Seeing how our favorite character came into being. A fun time indeed.
