A new Star Wars novel confirms when Emperor Palpatine learned Luke is Darth Vader's son: right before his call with Vader in The Empire Strikes Back. Star Wars reveals Emperor Palpatine learned Luke Skywalker is Darth Vader's son during The Empire Strikes Back.
Some have believed for years that Palpatine was revealing that Anakin was his "son." However, this is not the case, as Matt Martin clears up again. He explains. "He doesn't literally say that. It can certainly be inferred, but he doesn't say it.
One of them, in particular, shows him a vision: Vader's fantasy of overthrowing Palpatine, but instead of being in his black suit and respirator, he appears as a much older Anakin with Padme and Luke by his side, the latter of whom strikes down the Emperor. It's here when Palpatine finally learns the truth.
Palpatine. It was Palpatine that led Anakin Skywalker to the dark side and gave him the Darth Vader name. The Emperor always knew the truth, and he seems to have been the one who decided it should remain a closely guarded secret.
In the EU, Palpatine didn't know until TPM. The Darth Plagueis novel strongly implies that Anakin was the result of the Force pushing back because of the Sith. When they see Anakin on Coruscant, that's their first time learning of him. Plagueis even tries to see Anakin in person, but he's already with the Jedi Council.
If Qui-Gon had survived his fight against Darth Maul, he would have sensed Palpatine's evil, and Anakin wouldn't have become Darth Vader. Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than Yoda, Palpatine feared him more.
The story is Anakin was manipulated to the dark side by Palpatine based on fears of losing Padme and appeals to his desire power and agency, over his life and the galaxy as a whole.
This is confirmed later in the movie when Obi-Wan informs Padme that Anakin killed them. Both are torn apart with hurt and confusion, trying to make sense of something so terrible.
A Sith Lord with the ability to cheat death and create life, Plagueis is the mentor of Sheev Palpatine / Darth Sidious, who, in accordance to the Sith's Rule of Two, eventually betrays Plagueis by murdering him in his sleep, taking his place as Sith Master.
Anakin Skywalker is the son of Shmi Skywalker, born without a father through the Force. He is the secret husband of Padmé Amidala, the father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, the father-in-law of Han Solo, and the maternal grandfather of Ben Solo.
If Rey struck him down, Palpatine's spirit would pass into her, allowing the Sith to be reborn. Rey resisted him with the help of Ben, who'd returned to the light. But their defiance gave Sidious a new opportunity – he would drain the energy of their Force dyad to restore his own body, then rule alone.
One could theorize that he bore a child through some sort of space artificial insemination, or something closer to what we've seen in canon Star Wars material. In the canon comic Darth Vader No. 25, it is revealed that Palpatine somehow used the Force to manipulate midichlorions to impregnate Shmi Skywalker.
Reva knows that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader because she was one of his targets—a child—during the Order 66 killings that took place during the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
Though there was some debate among the fans that Anakin Skywalker's son, Luke Skywalker, was actually the Chosen One since he caused his father to destroy Darth Sidious, the debate was settled when George Lucas himself confirmed in an interview that Anakin, even after becoming Darth Vader, was still officially the ...
Padmé was born in the year 46 BBY on Naboo, and Anakin was born five years later, in the year 41 BBY. That makes Padmé five years older than Anakin.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the founders of the Jedi Order were Jedi Masters Cala Brin, Garon Jard, Rajivari, and Ters Sendon.
According to Star Wars Legends content, the first Sith was a former Jedi Master, Ajunta Pall, who became a so-called Dark Jedi, or “Fallen” Jedi. As the name implies, these Force-sensitives chose to practice the Dark Side, and rejected the Light Side of the Force.
Anakin does not have even the slightest bit of remorse. By the end, he feels nothing but anger. Although he feels regret for killing Padme, he still helps the evil Emperor. The film ends with Anakins standing side by side with the man on whose behalf he has committed all his crimes.
Throughout the main cinematic saga and supporting materials, many hints were dropped along the way as to where Panaka's allegiances lay, and such thoughts led to his eventual betrayal of Padmé and almost Leia as well. Panaka's support of now-Emperor Palpatine endured into the rise of the Galactic Empire.
“The tear [on Anakin's face] says that he knows what he's done, but he has now committed himself to a path that he may not agree with… but he is going to go on anyway. It's the one moment that says he's self-aware that he's rationalizing all his behavior.
He is plagued by nightmares of her and visions of her fate. When he eventually saves her from a group of Tuskens on Tatooine, his blind anger at her dying state consumes him. Focused on revenge as he murders an entire Indigenous tribe, Anakin has begun the path to the Dark Side.
We go for the more simple answer, further considering the details of the question itself. If Anakin didn't go into that chamber as the Jedi confronted Palpatine, then Mace Windu would have defeated Palpatine, killing him.
Vader still killed Obi-Wan, but it was described in much more detail than Vader just simply cutting down Obi-Wan. This was the passage: “[Vader] lunged forward, feinting, and then slashing in a deadly downward arc with the saber. It struck home, cutting Kenobi cleanly in half.”
