*In the ''A New Hope'' novelization ghost-written by Alan Dean Foster, Palpatine was implied in various descriptions of the character by other characters such as Vader and Tarkin to be a puppet ruler controlled by the Imperial Bureaucracy, and that the reason the Rebel Alliance was gaining more influence was due to incompetent ruling on his part, and was not a Force user. Later films nixed that description by showcasing him to be extremely competent, including his creating the Empire in the first place as well as a very powerful Force user (and later, a Sith Lord).

*Although Palpatine was identified by name in the novelization for A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, alongside supplemental materials such as the Star Wars Visual Dictionary, he was never identified onscreen by name in the actual films until the Prequel Trilogy.
