Emperor Palpatine - Martial Proficiencies & Weaponry (Legends)

fanalysis with Connor is was and always will be the best star wars commentary on you tube specifically the fanalysis commentary/interpretation on Revebge of the sith, darth plagues and labyrinth of evil

You don't know how long I looked for the measurements for this thing; thank you.

I don't believe maul begged for his life. He begged for mercy which I interpret to mean a quick and clean death. Maul is no coward he doesn't fear death he fears the pain and humiliation sidious would subject him to. Idk why everyone always assumes that maul was begging to be spared.

I don't have a problem with Sheev Palpatine.

As his name. Everything else can go to hell, but the name is fine.

So many star wars stories they could bring to the big screen or make into a TV series.... but not under Disney.

Well this went into a history lesson real quick...

Is his cloak armour-weave?

Absolutely fantastic video

Also oh absolutely Palpatine as a Force User is superior to him as a Duelist which is saying something because just how skilled he is with a Blade/Blades

My hero!...... well.... my.... FAVORITE! 😁⚡⚡

I believe Darth Sidious took Darth Bane’s teaching to heart, mastering the Fast and Strong styles rather than the multiple forms favoured by the Jedi Order.
Fast style being a refined hybrid of Makashi, Soresu and Ataru
Strong style being primarily Djem So and Shien
Prior to his first death Sidious appeared to favour Fast style supplemented with Strong style blade locks and blaster deflection (Lords of the Sith). However following his rebirth on Byss and in a much younger body, he appeared to use the much more static Strong style, perhaps if nothing more than to humiliate Luke Skywalker and his use of Form V, since he appears to focus more on brute strength and blade locks rather than the acrobatics he favoured around the time of the clone wars.
But both Fast and Strong styles served as the stepping stones to his true form: Juyo

Palpatine is an ahole.

Emperor Palpatine is the G.O.A.T of Star Wars!

We never got to see him trained. We only saw him after he was trained. We also never saw him maintain his skills. We just saw him unexplainably kick ass. Which is ok, in movies. Necessary, even. But not in books, or tv shows. His skills should have been explained and covered. I also have a problem with characters that have huge muscles, but are never shown lifting heavy weights.

I like to think that at one point Sidious was the best duelist period, I think he merged all of the styles into a dedicated study of Juyo, giving him all the tools he will ever need to cover his bases while still remaining a master duelist

What do you know about the Legends Broken Gate martial art?

The only threats to Sidious in skills and power should be Yoda, The Skywalkers, Mereks, And Abeloth yeah

A Malgus vs Sidious fight would be amazing. Holy fuck. Malgus has the battle experience and endurance to totally go the distance and he wouldn't be tactically led into traps like most of Sidious' victims were. It'd come down to blade work and to be honest.... I think Malgus can win that. Force powers is negligible cause they're both force rage masters and capable force maelstroms but wouldn't have the time and space in order to use either against each other. It'd be pure blade work. And it'd be fun as fuck to watch.

You know what would have been awesome in The Rise of Skywalker? Rey and Ben’s final battle with Palpatine having both lightsaber combat and Force powers.

i like lightsabers with ornate hilt designs and i can say that palpatines lightsaber hilts are fantastic for being both ornate and being made with lightsaber resistant materials that allow them to have great functional benefits

Beyghor Sahdett Is a character I think would be good for you to match up. He is an insectoid Jedi from the dark times comic) also has a cameo in the republic comic.) who survived order 66 and was skilled enough to casually kill non force sensitives( even by jedi standards) and he’s been in 3 lightsaber duels and only lost due to outside interference.( granted none of these enemies were top tier, but it’s nothing to sneer at. ) He was also capable with the force, at least on par with Ayla Secura or Ashoka in terms of combat output( though not exactly on par with creativity.) Fun fact, the species is hermaphroditic, so every view years he switched between male and female.( as he only appeared as male during his appearances, I think it’s ok to use he/him.)

When was he voiced by Tim Curry?

I found it 2 days ago but in Battlefront Renegade Squadron he lashes out on Player and his allies at the end of the korriban mission with both his saber and force abilities

By how many views you got, u can tell people arent used to getting Palpatine videos from you. Could we please get a Palpatine vs Revan or Palpatine vs Caedus? Hes the only main character u havent done a vs video on. Thx.

Would Exar Kun stand enough of a chance for a Versus video to be worth it between him and Sidious, or would Kun get stomped despite his own skill and power?

Keep up the good work man great video

I want to know more of your thoughts on the Clone Wars.

I really enjoyed this. Though there's so many great characters to cover between the Old Republic, Galactic Republic, Empire, and post Empire, I'd love to see one Kit Fisto. Additionally: Do you feel the distinctions between Jedi Knight and Jedi Consular are all that necessary? I've always felt that Jedi Knights are more the intermediate Jedi still focusing on their combat development, while more advanced characters were the ones with a deeper force connection and better swordsmanship. I really think the distinction is more for the sake of videogame classes, rather than what we see in Star Wars.

Star Wars legends is the right timeline not canon when Disney get Star Wars they change the timeline and missed it up but I have heard they are rebooting the three movies and doing the original timeline like dark empire new republic and new Jedi order and doing the old republic to which is were everything started

i would argue that Count Dooku was also a character that TCW didnt 100% screw up, he's a victim of the plots of the various episodes (cough cough that episode where he's captured by pirates), not his skills, as there are several episodes in which his skill level is consistent.

Who’s a good opponent for Darth Marr? Of his era only Jadeus and Malgus were true equals and Vitiate was his only superior . Arcann or Vaylin might pose a challenge with the force but in lightsaber combat i don’t see it. Darth Bane or Plagueis would be interesting…

Homie I know u like your videos to be in depth, but u can list your references at the end (or beginning if that turns u on) in text form. Great video btw 👌👌👌

Anyway Great Video

Really that Sidious fights in Dark Empire against Luke he contended fairly well by Force Based Physical Augmentation or more of a combination of also his great skill with the lightsaber?

The fact that this video only has almost 7k views is criminal.

love this on his marshle skill and rewatching some anime he like madara uichha will madara is obulves beter Martial artest he idea simler use speed and burtal force will integrating magic attacks for shock and owe

I never fully appreciated how much of a Naboo design aesthetic Palpatine's lightsaber has

Love these videos man. Always put my right to sleep.

Oh good, you finally acknowledge that Yoda disarmed Palpatine in a lightsaber duel.

I've been looking forward to this

I got an interesting new idea, have a random character in fiction be thrown into the star wars universe and say weather or not theyll survive it.

1. Can Ganondorf Survive the star wars universe
2. Can Superman Survive the star wars universe
3. Can Doomslayer survive the star wars universe

Dark Disciple is actually amazing. I understood your point but that was a poor example

Hands down Darth Sidious is the best Star Wars villain in history

Thank you Jensaarai One for all the videos over the years. They came at a time when life was meaningless to me and not worth living, but your videos helped make it just interesting enough to stick around.

Thank you

Nicholas Burkhart

The most powerful Sith ever. Also I still think Sidious faked his defeat at Windu, he knew it all. I know Lucas changed his opinion and said Windu won, but I disagree.
