Palpatine
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Emperor Palpatine (also known as Darth Sidious) is a character seen in the Star Wars movies. He is played by Ian McDiarmid. He is seen in Episode V for the first time. Palpatine is believed to be the true villain of the Star Wars films because he was the one who converted Anakin Skywalker to the dark side of the Force. Palpatine rose to power in Episode III, when he dispatched Anakin to the Jedi Temple and ordered the Clone Troopers to execute Order 66. Palpatine confronted Yoda in a duel which would decide the fate of the Galaxy; Yoda lost to him, and he was able to form a new order upon the crumbled Republic; he created the first Galactic Empire. Palpatine ruled the Galaxy for 23 years, when in the end he was killed by his own apprentice, Darth Vader.
