Revision as of 14:33, September 16, 2017
, 14:33, September 16, 2017Technically, the Empire's closer to authoritarian than truly totalitarian (some sources indicate that they left the Corporate Sector alone and allowed for free markets there, and the Wheel had an immunity sphere that barred them from entering).
'''Emperor Palpatine''', known also as Senator and Chancellor Palpatine and Darth Sidious, is a significant character throughout five of the first six movies of the ''[[Star Wars]]'' franchise. In the prequel trilogy, he is not yet an Emperor (he started out as a senator representing the planet Naboo in ''[[Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace|Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'' then was elected Chancellor of the Galactic Senate via manipulation of the Senate later in that movie), but in the original trilogy, he fulfilled that role, having declared himself Emperor and dissolving the democratic Galactic Republic in favor of forming the [[totalitarianism|totalitarian]] Galactic Empire in ''[[Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith|Episode III: Revenge of the Sith]]''.

During his reign as Emperor, Palpatine ruled the Galactic Empire with an iron fist, using his [[Sith]] apprentice, fearsome cyborg [[Darth Vader]] (the former [[Jedi]] knight Anakin Skywalker, who Palpatine turned to the Sith in ''Episode III'') as his main enforcer, along with the Imperial Stormtroopers as his military force and the gigantic Death Star superweapons (the original Death Star in ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|Episode IV: A New Hope]]'' and the even larger Death Star II in ''[[Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi|Episode VI: Return of the Jedi]]''), to impose his will and spread terror upon the Empire's subjugated populations.
