Podcasts about Palpatine

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHTHE DEAD SPEAK! The opening crawl reveals that a mysterious broadcast has been heard across the galaxy in the voice of the late Emperor Palpatine. BUT HOW?! Leia dispatches agents across the galaxy to gather information on this, while Kylo Ren, now Supreme Leader of the First Order, searches for Palpatine in an effort to eliminate all potential threats to his power.Kylo Ren finds this triangle thing which leads him to a hidden planet where he finds Palpatine, still kicken.  Palpatine unveils a fleet of Star Destroyers and offers it to Kylo if he finds and kills Rey, who is continuing her Jedi training under Leia. During Rey's training, She has a chat with Kylo Ren through their Force bond—brief flashes of the past—and accidentally crushes BB-8 during training. I was so mad at her for hurting sweet BB-8.Poe announces to the Resistance that Palpatine is alive and plans to unleash his fleet. To stop him, they need the Sith Finder which Rey believes to be on a planet called Pasanna.The. crew lands during a sick dance party. Rey meets a local who gives her a necklace—through their Force bond, Kylo take it from her and determines her location. Rey is soon approached by Leia's contact—Lando Calrissian. He explains that he and Luke once searched for a Sith hunter named Ochi, who may have held the key to finding the Wayfinder. They found his ship, but no trace of him.Stormtroopers arrive, and the heroes flee into the desert, falling into quicksand that leads to an underground cave. There, they find a Sith dagger inscribed with a clue. Unfortunately, C-3PO's programming prevents him from translating Sith text.Rey senses Kylo approaching and confronts him while the others prepare for takeoff. She brings down Kylo's ship but is shocked to see Chewie captured. As she and Kylo both use the Force to stop a transport from leaving, Rey loses control and unleashes Force lightning—destroying the ship and, seemingly, killing Chewie.Don't worry - Chewie is fine. He was on a different ship and they're going to hold him captive.Poe takes the gang to see an old friend, Zorii Bliss. She takes them to a tiny little fella who can bypass 3PO's programming so that 3P0 will finally translate the Sith text, but will also erase his memory. Suddenly, the First Order arrives, having tracked the group. Rey senses that Chewie is alive on their Star Destroyer—they realize he must have been on a different transport. The crew sneaks onto the ship. While Finn and Poe are captured, Rey goes to  retrieves the dagger, has a force battle with Kylo, and has a vision of the emporer killing her parents, who were hiding her to protect her. Kylo tells her it's because she's a Palpatine. The captives are about to be executed—but General Hux intervenes, revealing himself as the spy. He helps them escape, explaining he doesn't care who wins, as long as Kylo loses. Rey refuses to join Kylo Ren in destroying Palpatine and the crew escapes with Chewie and the Falcon. Hux is immediately killed for being a spy. The team heads to where the Death Star wreckage lies. They meet Jannah, a former stormtrooper who, like Finn, escaped the First Order. Rey finds the Wayfinder—but experiences a dark vision of herself as a Sith Vampire combo package. Kylo shows up and they begin to fight. Suddenly, Kylo gets a vision of his mom, Leia, taking her last breath. He drops his lightsaber which Rey catches and uses to stab him. But then when she feels like Leia is dead, she heals Kylo so he can mourn without pain:? idk man. Kylo has a vision of his father who encourages him to return to the light. Kylo throws his lightsaber into the water. Poe is named General and doubts his ability to lead. Lando comes outta nowhere to give him a pep talk. Intending to exile herself like Luke, Rey tries to destroy her lightsaber, but Luke's Force ghost appears. He tells her that Leia knew all along who she was and still believed in her. He gives her Leia's saber and helps her retrieve the Wayfinder from Kylo's ship. Rey pilots Luke's old ship. With a signal from Luke's ship coming through, the Resistance prepares for battle. Poe and Finn lead the attack, on horse back cuz duh. Rey shows up to confronts Palpatine. Dude is pumped to see his granddaughter. He says he doesn't want to kill her, rather he wants her to kill him so his spirit will enter her and they can lead together. Kylo shows up and they fight together, sharing Leia's saber through the Force. Papetine enjoys the show and then uses his lightning fingers on both of them which is like draining their power. The Resistance attacks Palpatine's fleet, but they're outmatched. Just as hope fades, Lando arrives with a massive fleet from across the galaxy.As Rey lies on the ground, she hears the voices of past Jedi who encourage her to get up! She confronts Palpatine again, deflecting his lightning with both Luke and Leia's sabers. As he declares “I am all the Sith,” Rey responds, “And I... am all the Jedi,” and destroys him.She's on the verge of death from the blast, but Kylo climbs out of the pit he was throw in and revives her with his own life force. They kiss BIG ONESSSS! But then he dies. Womp Womp.The Resistance destroys the Sith fleet.And the heroes reunite and celebrate the win. The movie ends with Rey and BB8 take the Falcon to Tatooine. She buries the Skywalker lightsabers there and shows that i guess she has her own yellow one now. When a local asks who she is, she says Rey. Follow up Q for you - Rey who? She ponders the answer until she sees the ghost of Luke and Leia smiling at her and she says Rey Skywalker as she and BB9 watch the twin suns.

This week, we go from the high ground to high school hoops.In this special episode, we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith by diving deep into Anakin's fall, Palpatine's rise, and why this prequel has aged better than many expected.

Phillip and Eric are exploiting the algorithm this week by talking Star Wars while it's still hot, but not the Star Wars anyone expected. They're going over the obscure comic Dark Empire by Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy, set after Return of the Jedi featuring a resurrected Palpatine when it was still original. They talk about its trippy art and color scheme by Cam Kennedy, its lackluster writing and pacing by comparison, and their shared hatred of The Rise of Skywalker and toxic Star Wars fans who hate The Last Jedi.

Don't call Palpatine a monster. He hates that. The Emperor doesn't make an appearance in episode 9, but his presence is felt in every lackey and underling and the stresses that Imperial officers go through to prevent his displeasure. The ISB thinks it set up Ghorman for a fall, but they didn't realized that seeing the fall coming was the only way the rebellion could salvage a tragedy and inspire courage and hope.Mon Mothma's path seemed set by Rebels years ago, but Tony and Dan Gilroy manage to throw some curveballs without retroactively changing continuity in such a drastic way that longtime fans revolt. Is the key just "do it better" when making those tweaks? It feels so, because K-2SO's origins are much different than they are in a comic book. Aren't we glad they didn't have to stick to something like that?If you're not, that's okay. Your opinion is your own. You can have terrible opinions and still be a fan. Some people, for instance, don't think Andor is any good. I don't know if I'd share a meal with that kind of person, but I'm not going to argue. The show has spoken for itself. The writing and the action have been "movie quality" for weeks now and episode 9 of season 2 feels like a terrific third act of the third act.This is the Way Podcast HQ has been under immense stress getting out new podcasts each week with personal issues weighing heavily. With just one week left, it's strange to realize that there won't be another high quality show coming to Star Wars for quite some time. There's content that CAN be covered, but there's also content that should be removed from the streaming site.If you have an episode specific comment, send it in to the email address we reveal in our podcasts.

In this episode we try our damnedest to avoid the golden path. But no matter how much emo teenage pouting we do it still all ends up in genocide and our kid turning into an immortal homicidal worm. That's right, it's Frank Herbert's seminal epic Dune. We will once again look for Satan in Science Fiction through the lens of the Christ Myth. The idea of a chosen one, a demi god, not exactly god but more than human with supernatural powers coming to rescue us all from evil. Special guest star appearances from The Justice League, Alabama, University of Washington, Paul Atreides, Caladan, David Lynch, Kwisatz Haderach, Zendaya, George Lucas, The Phantom Menace, Bene Gesserit, Baron Vladimir Harkkonnen, Geidi Prime, Timothée Chalamet, Palpatine, Vladimir Putin, Chris Angel, Feyd-Rautha, Austin Butler, Freman, Don't Look Up, Katnis, Marjorie Taylor Greene, David Lean, Ridley Scott, Orson Welles, Cannonball Run II, Exterminator II, Breakin II: Electric Boogaloo, Stinkers Bad Movie Award, Hollywood, Gene Siskel, Syfy Channel, Denis Villeneuve, Dune 2000, ornithopter, Marvel, Ralph Macchio, Leto,   #666 #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #Antitheist #ConspiracyTheory #Conspiracy #Conspiracies #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Satanism #Satanist #Skeptic #Debunk #Illuminati #Podcast #funny #sketch #skit #comedy #comedyshow #comedyskits #HeavyMetal #weird #leftist #SatanIsMySuperhero #ScienceFiction #SciFiSend us a text

“You were the chosen one!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam & Megs (Kev's off-planet this week, likely negotiating with the Trade Federation) – as we ignite our lightsabers, spin into some space politics, and plunge into the dark side for our 270th episode covering Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005). We're trading poisoned apples for Order 66 and flying headfirst into the fall of Anakin Skywalker as we discuss: Whether Revenge of the Sith sticks the landing for the prequel trilogy—or crashes harder than General Grievous' escape pod. Does the film finally deliver the emotional payoff the prequels promised? Is Anakin's fall convincing… or did he turn to the dark side over some bad dreams? Why does the reason for Anakin's turn seem inconsistent in this one Are Restie award winners, Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman any better this go around or is a back-to-back a likely result? We talk about our philosophical stances and what happens when 2 of them crash into each other? Which Jedi we'd most likely be – and who's clearly the Palpatine of the group Is this film secretly the best prequel—or just the least clunky one? Where does the Anakin/Obi Wan light saber fight fall in the history of duels in Star Wars? Speaking of gripes – was Padmé done dirty by giving her nothing to do? Does George Lucas understand love? We ask how Order 66 compares to another major franchise's big emotional disaster Whether Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is the Best Film Ever.

This week, Jackie and Danielle welcome their hilarious and insightful guest Maria to help break down the most melodramatic space opera in the galaxy: Revenge of the Sith. From Anakin's “I'm not like the other Jedi” energy to Padmé dying of what can only be described as emotional inconvenience, no moment is safe from their lovingly savage commentary. Maria dives in lightsaber-first with hot takes, unforgettable quotes, and a deep suspicion that the Jedi Council's HR department was just Palpatine in a robe. Yoda's vague advice? Dragged. Obi-Wan's “you were the chosen one” meltdown? Roasted to a crisp—kind of like Anakin.Together, the trio tackles the fashion, the feelings, and the flaming chaos of the final prequel with the perfect blend of fan love and side-eye. They ask the hard questions: Did Anakin spiral or sprint to the Dark Side? And most importantly, why does Palpatine look like a microwaved raisin in a velvet cape? Whether you're a prequel apologist or just here for the memes, this episode is your one-stop shop for cathartic laughter, galactic gossip, and a lot of underacting.·Season 5 Episode 4·—No More Late Fees 909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:InstagramTikTokFacebookYoutubeTwitterBlue Sky—CONQUERing10% Off Code: JACKIE10—NostaBeauty20% Off Code: NMLF—MariaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariawatcheseverything/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mariawatcheseverything—Maria's Previous EpisodesBend it Like Beckhamhttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/bend-it-like-beckhamKickin' it with Mariahttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/kickin-it-with-mariaHoleshttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/holesDiggin' it with Mariahttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/diggin-it-with-mariaStar Wars Episode 2 - Attack of the Cloneshttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/star-wars-episode-2-attack-of-the-clonesVillain Worship: Ranking the Hottest Movie Baddies with Mariahttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/villain-worship-ranking-the-hottest-movie-baddies-with-maria

We jump back in time and discuss Outboud Flight. Jorus C'baoth is determined to get Outbound Flight off the ground, while Palpatine plans to destroy it and all the Jedi on board. In the Unknown Regions, Jorj Car'das comes into contact with an unknown species, the Chiss. The group he meets is led by a young commander named Thrawn. And for some reason, Obi-Wan and Anakin are in this book for the first two-thirds of it.

Are you watching this on Spotify? If not, enjoy this in video form NOW ON SPOTIFY! THEORY SABERS - https://www.theorysabers.com/ MERCH - https://www.swtheorymerch.com/ Order 65, a contingency plan within the Republic's legal framework, authorized the Senate or the Supreme Commander, which in this case being, Chancellor Palpatine, to be removed from power if deemed unfit or treasonous. If this happened during the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Order 65 could have drastically altered the galaxy's fate. By exposing Palpatine's manipulation and his secret identity as Darth Sidious, the Jedi could have united the Republic's forces, including the clone troopers, against him instead of being targeted by Order 66. This would have preserved the Jedi Order, potentially avoided the rise of the Empire, and allowed Anakin Skywalker to fulfill his role as the Chosen One without succumbing to the dark side. The survival of the Jedi would have meant a stronger, unified resistance against the Sith's influence, fundamentally changing the balance of power in the galaxy and preserving hope and peace for generations.

Star Wars is known for its drama, but what about its melodrama? Join Idiot's Array for some fun and laughs as we explore the lighter side of Star Wars fandom. Which characters may have taken themselves a little too seriously and needed to be grounded? Which characters seemed to love the spotlight? And which characters just loved adding a little extra flare to the galaxy? It's madness! And we would be honored if you would join us.  X: @idiotsarraypod Facebook: Idiot's Array Podcast Email: idiotsarraypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @idiotsarraypodcast  

On this episode, Hannah and Chris — along with Dominic and Ben who make unexpected appearances — dive into the newly revealed second trailer for Andor season 2. They examine all the big moments, including Dedra Meero being force choked (or is it a panic attack?), some stunning Imperial Senate scenes (is that Palpatine?), and lots of moments from a new planet (could it be Dantooine?). They also discuss some of the latest news, including a new VR experience revealed, Ahsoka season 2 appears to be in production, and a rare public appearance from George Lucas. Plus, the Star Wars stories that most affected us, unfair critiques from across generations, and remembering Clive Revill. Tune in for all of that and so much more!

But this Empire was different now, over 100 years after the fall of Palpatine, this new Empire served as a more secular government, free - at least for a time- of the influence of the Sith that had governed before it.

*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.Just as Palpatine promised Anakin he could save Padme, though he was the one putting dark thoughts into the young Jedi's head, a similar deal has been struck with darkness to resurrect Uncle Sam to act as the body of an anti-christ spirit. But such a body is always void of a true spirit. Thus the American golden age is nothing more than the age of ash, since the gold of fairies and spirits always turns to dust after something of value has been exchanged. America's golden age begins with government financing cuts and both states and companies moving to ban the use of oils and food coloring. But what are these things replaced with? For MAGA, AI will now make decisions for the pentagon, determine if federal employees keep their jobs, track down protestors, etc. Federal money will instead be allocated for endless wars in support of Israel and Stargate. For MAHA, oils are replaced with beef tallow, and while the core of American health continues to rot, AI will be used to determine health outcomes. For the alternative media, electric cyber trucks are being given away as if these are not the same people who warned against the use of electric cars and the prison grid IoT; these voices promote global unions now, along with the cashless society, endless wars in the name of peace, and a great reset. Isn't this what we were warned of: that the most faithful would be fooled and the most trustworthy deceived. From the Ingersoll Lockwood's books that seemingly predicted Trump's presidency to the Elon leader of Mars from Braun's science fiction novel, and their associations with Nikola Tesla, to the modern world a dark side rising quickly - filled with illusion, disorientation, and tricks. The Red Cross of Tesla is the Yahweh mark, known to Christians as the mark of Ash Wednesday which is placed on the forehead over the third eye - the location of the maGa whore of Babylon. The X of Twitter and SpaceX marks the spot of treasure. The Oracle, OpenAi, and Nvidia companies refer to the same “eye,” forced open by technocrats like Musk who wish to see symbiosis with machines. Musk has just filed patents for telepathy and telekinesis too.  Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, as the saying goes. We will rest on the ash pile of history.

On this episode Hannah, Ben and Chris break down the newly released behind the scenes “special look” for Andor season 2 and speculate about the imagery therein. They also discuss Star Wars Celebration Japan's major panel lineup — including the noticeable absence of some long standing events — the news that a Star Wars Rebels rewatch podcast with the cast is on the way, and an extended discussion on who might be the next president of Lucasfilm and the politics that surround the position. Plus, will Palpatine show up in Andor? Will Ahsoka meet Rey in the future? And a Firefly analogy gone wrong!

We've done it: we've brought on Rob Zacny -- host of (among many other things) A More Civilized Age: A Star Wars Podcast -- to dissect and attempt to make sense of the rules of technology in the Star Wars universe. Join us as we consider questions such as: What exactly is it that comes out of a lightsaber? Is there a bathroom in the X-wing? How many Imperial officers it takes to fire a giant laser? Does hyperspace make any sense at all? And is there room in this podcast to discuss droid liberation? (At least that last question has a definitive answer: yes, of course.) Support the Pod!

Clone Wars Conversations continues with the Legacy Multimedia Project, where content was released from unused Clone Wars episodes following the show's cancellation in 2014, and in this episode Dave, Maff & Mike delve into the 4-issue comic series Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir! In detail, this comic centres around Darth Maul after his capture by Palpatine/Sidious in the fifth season of the Clone Wars following his Mandalore-takeover, noting his torture, escape and the eventual plot that unfolds around Dooku and Mother Talzin, set before the events of Season 7. Our trio discuss each issue in-depth, provide additional context & lore, and talk about how much they enjoyed the comics and if they're necessary for the overall story of The Clone Wars. Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir was written by Jeremy Barlow with penciller Juan Frigeri, inker Mauro Vargas and colour artist Wes Dzioba, and was published by Dark Horse in 2014 and re-published by Marvel in 2017. The next 2 releases will continue the Clone Wars Legacy project, with the four unfinished episodes of the Utapau Crystal Crisis next (watch them here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdaXc2wzwv4&t=100s) and finishing with the Dark Disciple novel featuring Quinlan Vos & Asajj Ventress! Once completed, the trio will move onto the final (seventh) season of The Clone Wars!

Senator Palpatine uses some textbook maneuvers in order to name himself Emperor and George Lucas uses the story of Star Wars to show how a democracy can give way to a tyrant. Ashton Sharrett of the Space Opera Music podcast stops by to help look at how Palpatine's plans allow him to take control of a galaxy far, far away.

The Jedi are decimated, Palpatine has taken control of the galaxy and re-shuffled it into THE FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE. Meanwhile, you're vacationing on Mustafar and stumble across the half dead body of Anakin Skywalker. Do you make him a Darth Vader? Do you sell him for a vague amount of credits? Maybe you put him in a space car and force him to race about on the off chance he might find Padme, who is very dead at this point. The world is your oyster!Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+ Hosted on Acast.
