TV-Commentary - Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Episode III
Was the Emperor Mentally Retarded?
If the Emperor could see the future and really had everything planned out, did he really plan to be in a crashing burning spaceship, falling down an elevator shaft, and having his face disfigured? Do you think he was looking forward to the bumpy forehead because he was a big Star Trek fan?

Palpatine really suffers only from the typical villain foibles of arrogance and overconfidence. The Sith had been planning for the takeover for over a thousand years. Now that Palpatine had finally accomplished it and he got a little complacent. Under normal circumstances he might have actually forseen the Star Destroyer thing. But He's a smug arrogant SOB and was too wrapped up in gloating and then torturing Luke he dropped his guard. He was too bust channeling his Force abilities into lightning to think of probing the future for possibilities.

The Emperor is clearly Gay and Retarded.

Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on your viewpoint! Of course to us, he seems like a psychopath. That's because we aren't completely evil. It is true, in DARK EMPIRE the Emperor shows off his clones. Maybe he saw the future, or maybe he was just planning in case something happened. "Always in motion is the future," and how many people can flawlessly predict their own future? A megalomaniac like the Emperor is clearly insane, but mentally retarded? Depends on how you look at it.


       Some Guy posts on 12/3/2005 9:18:40 PM

He is a Sith a Dark Jedi who believes in power being the greatest thing he wants to be the greatest being in the galaxy also He probaly forseen the future but as Yoda said the future is always in motion probaly others seen his future and altered it in someway


       The commentator Darth Shaun posts on 11/23/2005 11:30:50 AM

About Palpatine. I don't think he's really retarded. Also he had at least six concubines. He readied the Galaxy Gun in Dark Empire. So maybe he's only partly retarded.


       Mecyless posts on 10/17/2005 8:48:50 PM

Who says he knows what will happen? And even if he DID, its probly not that emporer that knew what would happen, he had THOUSANDS of clones made for him.


       The commentator Darth Bane posts on 10/13/2005 4:46:51 PM

Ok, look. The emporor can forsee the future. BUT it is also stated that "Always in motion the futureis" split second decisions can alter the time line. I mean I bet he didnt forsee Vader picking up his sorry ass and tossing doen the death Star reactor core.


       rye posts on 8/24/2005 3:35:05 AM

the emperor probably hasn't even gone to a single date with a chick that's why he "seduced" anakin.


       The commentator cybot posts on 7/30/2005 2:43:17 AM

This movie just left me wanting to see vader kick butt.Is it eighteen years till Luke starts to become a jedi? Well something like that. Vader could put some mighty hurt on there galaxy. VADER VADER VADER VADER VADER VADER VADER!!!


       Ithorian posts on 7/27/2005 3:36:51 AM

Stop talking about other people being retarded and check into it about yourself. Who asks these questions?


       The commentator Robert York posts on 6/23/2005 12:42:09 PM

Why was a sexual reference used to start the hunting down and killing of Jedi?


       Mercyless (retarded) posts on 6/16/2005 3:16:25 PM

Why are you retarded and asking a retareded question. People really need to pay attention to the movies.


       The commentator justin posts on 6/15/2005 1:59:46 PM

Was darth vader really sopose to turn to the dark side. well no he wasnt if he didnt kill mace windu than he would be the greatest jedi ever exsisted in star wars history. now thats history from justin gates jr


       Ithorian posts on 6/11/2005 10:25:12 AM

Well, if you think about it. What could he do? Why do you think he tried as hard as possible to kill Luke.


       The commentator Shaun posts on 6/11/2005 10:21:09 AM

I have this one read. Palpatine did plan this all. In fact if you read about Dark Empire, it shows that Palpatine ACTUALLy planned it all. First and foremost Palpatine actually had this set up and he made a younger clone of himself just in case he lost. In fact I guess you should really read the Dark Empire series which talks about the newly resurrected Emperor Palpatine in a younger body which almost looks like Anakin Skywalker.


       aliciaskywalker posts on 6/9/2005 8:34:12 AM

Yes, he is seriously insane. He's a nutter obsessed with conquering and killing just about everybody, what do you expect?


       Tammy Wineberger posts on 6/4/2005 4:15:45 PM

lol!!! yes you have to be retarded to look like he does. i mean he's ugly as hell. i think when mace almost killed him his brain sort of popped out too and i mean what a bummer for his personal life. yikes! you would have to be pretty desperate to hop in the sack with him. ahhhhhhhhhh!


       Darth Sar'lana posts on 6/3/2005 8:34:17 PM

I think he was confused because "hard to see the dark side is".


       pwdngurl posts on 5/30/2005 10:25:22 AM

yeah he is a freak osessed with taking over the galaxy. imean look what happened to napoleon and hitler and saddamwhosinsane!


       The commentator Christopher7xii posts on 5/24/2005 8:36:18 AM

It's hard to see your own future. Yoda mentions stuff along those lines in Empire Strikes Back. Whenever the future affects yourself, clouded it becomes. Then again, if I knew when I was gonna die, I'd know that it wasn't my time and wouldn't worry about fearing death, so the spaceship crash, melting, etc... It was all meaningless.
