Emperor Palpatine (Star Wars)

A dark character

Palpatine is portrayed here as he is in the original trilogy with a physique that is already badly damaged by his use of the dark side of the force. He wears a long black robe with a hood that partially hides his face. His skin is pink and very damaged and his eyes are an unhealthy yellow. On his hands, we can see that he is using his power that sends powerful shocks of electricity through his fingers.

The dark side of the force

Emperor Palpatine is a powerful Sith lord, i.e. a Jedi who chose the dark side of the force in the Star Wars saga. In the first trilogy, he is the leader of the tyrannical galactic empire and his right hand man is the famous Darth Vader. In the second trilogy telling the origin of Darth Vader, we meet him younger when he was only a senator. He took the young Anakin Skywalker and gently led him to the dark side of the force by reinforcing his concerns about his wife and future family and causing him to use the force in horrible ways to protect his own interests and thus betray the Jedi. Finally, before he dies, Darth Vader has a burst of goodness and kills Palpatine in order to restore the balance of the force.
