Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Emperor Palpatine is one of the most iconic and enduring villains in Star Wars, but there's one massive story about him that hasn't made it to canon - and shouldn't. Emperor Palpatine has served as a through line that connects every part of the Skywalker saga, from the prequel trilogy all the way to the sequel trilogy.
Despite how often Palpatine is seen in the Star Wars movies and shows, much of his story has been shrouded in mystery. Major parts of his life, such as Project Necromancer, his plan to secure eternal life, have only recently begun to be explored. As more of Palpatine's story is revealed, there's one major part that has yet to be explained, and Star Wars is much better for not delving into it.

While Darth Plagueis did give exciting context to Palpatine's rise to power and his command over the dark side, Palpatine's origin story also detracted from one of the most important aspects of his character. Throughout Star Wars, Palpatine has served one main purpose: to be evil incarnate that just so happens to be in a human body. He's more a force of evil that emerged out of thin air than he is a person.
