History[]
Star Wars[]
Palpatine was born in a wealthy familly and was later trained by Darth Plagius in using the Dark side of the force, only to later go into politics.
Darth Sidious was seen in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Manace, where he sent his apprentice known as Darth Maul to eliminate Queen Amidala. He was also planning to become the Chancellor. He was also seen during Qui Gon Jinn's funeral.
In Star Wars: Episode II: The Attack of the Clones, Chancellor Palpatine was seen in office, where he was readying the other politicians to war. His alter ego was also seen to collect the plans for the death Star from his new apprentice known as Darth Tyranus.
Sidious was playing devil's advicate during the events of the clone wars, making shore that both sides where at war with each other until he was ready for his big plan.
In Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on General Greavus' ship to rescue Palpatine, he also saw Anakin murder his own apprentice under his own orders. Sidious ordered Grievous to be in charge of the Separatists after the death of Count Dooku. Palpatine, after his rescue hung around Anakin, trying to turn him to the dark side until a bit later where Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin wanted to arrest Sidious but were murdered by his own hands with the exception of Mace. Mace Windu was almost winning a battle with Sidious while disfiguring him in the process until Anakin came and cut off Mace's hand off with Sidious throwing him out the window. Sidious then made Anakin into Darth Vader and so turned the Republic into the Empire, became the Emperor and outlorded all Jedi as enemies of the Empire. The Emperor was later seen to recreate Darth Vader after his battle.
The Emperor made his first appearance in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, where he was speaking to Darth Vader through a hologram about Luke Skylwaker then finished the transmission.
In Star Wars: Episode VI The Return of the Jedi, The Emperor went with Darth Vader to the newly built Death Star, where he ordered his Storm Troopers and Darth Vader to take over Endor. He was later seen where Darth Vader brought his son with him, where both he and Vader mocked Luke until he submitted to the Dark side, only to see the two Skywalkers in battle. After Luke gave up on fighting Vader, the Emperor went to electrocute Luke and Vader than picked up the Emperor only to throw him under a shaft.
A ghost of Darth Sidious and some of his clones occasionally haunt the protagonists after the defeat of the Empire in both the Legends and Disney timelines.
