Palpatine (Darth Sidious) was first seemingly killed by his own apprentice, Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker), who threw him down a shaft in the Second Death Star in after Palpatine tortured Luke Skywalker with Force Lightning. Vader's act was an act of redemption, fulfilling the prophecy to destroy the Sith, though Palpatine later returned through cloning and dark side powers, leading to his final destruction by Rey in .
During the Galactic Civil War, the Emperor sought to betray Vader, by replacing him with the latter's son, Luke Skywalker. However, Sidious' plan backfired when Vader ultimately renounced the dark side and killed Sidious to protect Luke.
In the context of the story, Snoke is a "genetic strandcast" (a type of clone) created by Emperor Palpatine to serve as his proxy in power.
Rey uses the power of the past Jedi to face Palpatine once more; he attacks her with lightning, but Rey deflects it using the Skywalker lightsabers, killing Palpatine and destroying his Sith forces.
Known in some circles as Darth Plagueis the Wise, the Sith Lord Plagueis was once the mentor and Master of Darth Sidious. According to legend, Plagueis was so powerful he could use the Force to influence midi-chlorians to create life and possessed the knowledge to even evade death.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's father; Anakin had no biological father, being born of the Force itself in response to Plagueis's dark side manipulations, with Palpatine's tales of Plagueis's power over life being a manipulation to turn Anakin to the dark side, though Plagueis's attempts to create life did inadvertently cause Anakin's conception.
Darth Maul is the weakest. Bane was strong : he killed all the Sith and lots of Jedi.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve tragic heroism, lost potential, or poignant goodbyes, with popular choices including Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love), Clone Force 99's Tech (self-sacrifice for family), Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for Hera and Ezra), Padmé Amidala (fading hope for Anakin), Han Solo (betrayed by his son), and Clone Trooper 99 (innocent, selfless heroism). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' significance, or the broken promises they represent.
The answer, revealed in Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, rewrote much of what we thought we knew. Rey is the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious or Sheev Palpatine—not through a traditional lineage, but through a failed clone named Dathan, Rey's father.
Luke's discipline and commitment to the Jedi way make him more powerful than Anakin in their primes.
Luke was the last Jedi, then. Rey is the last Jedi, now. The title of each film in the sequel trilogy is a direct reference to the main protagonist of the sequel trilogy, Rey. In the Force awakens, it awakens in her.
Snoke and Kylo aren't Sith because they presumably never knew any sith, and because there aren't any sith around to make them sith. They're just some guys who can use the force for evil stuff.
After a lightsaber battle with his former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi, Vader is severely injured and is transformed into a cyborg. He serves Palpatine for over two decades, hunting down the remaining Jedi and attempting to crush the Rebel Alliance.
The Lost Twenty, also known as the The Lost, was a name given to the group of twenty Jedi Masters who left the Jedi Order throughout its history. According to Yula Braylon of the Jedi High Council, the Lost Twenty became disillusioned with the Jedi way of life.
In canon it was Kirak Infil'a , Cere Junda, Obi-Wan and Lord Momin . All messed him up quite badly with Kirak winning round 1 but losing round 2 and Momin cutting off his arm. Obi-Wan actually beat Vader. In Legends it was Shaa Koon, An'ya Kuro, a clone of Maul and Galen Marek.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's father; Anakin had no biological father, being born of the Force itself in response to Plagueis's dark side manipulations, with Palpatine's tales of Plagueis's power over life being a manipulation to turn Anakin to the dark side, though Plagueis's attempts to create life did inadvertently cause Anakin's conception.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
Revenge of the Sith
Palpatine explains that Plagueis was so powerful and wise, he had mastered the dark side of the Force to such an extent that he could cheat death (mostly saving people he cared about from death) and create life; unnatural abilities which are unknown to the Jedi.
Darth Vectivus. He basically got all the power he wanted and then retired to live with his family and friends and died peacefully, none of the Sith backstabbing.
It's pretty clear that Dooku is meant to be a step above Maul. The only edge Maul has is durability and raw explosive physicality due to being much younger but it's not something Dooku wouldn't handle IMO. If Episode 1 Obi and Season 7 Ahsoka can outplay Maul then what hope does he have against Dooku?
Jar Jar Binks is the worst Star Wars character of all time, and he's known for that. George Lucas wanted to make him comedy relief hanging out with a young Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui Gon Jinn for The Phantom Menace but it only caused fans to hate him even more.
