Quotes by Emperor Palpatine

Good is a point of view, Anakin. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way.

We are indebted to you for your bravery, Obi-Wan Kenobi. And you, young Skywalker, we will watch your career with great interest.

It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy. I love the Republic. The power you give me, I will lay down when this crisis has abated.

You don't need guidance, Anakin. In time, you will learn to trust your feelings. Then you will be invincible. I have said it many times: You are the most gifted Jedi I have ever met.

I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be slit in two.

Darth Sidious: "Begin landing your troops!"
Nute Gunray: "My lord, is that legal?"
Darth Sidious: "I will make it legal."

You lost an apprentice, and so did I. All in service of our greater goals. The galacy will not be remade without sacrifice.

You fight like a Jedi. You fight as if this were your only weapon. It is not. The Sith's weapon is not the lightsaber. It is the dark side of the Force. And the dark side touches everything. The saber is merely a symbol. A flame, signifying the great blaze of the dark side. The inferno that consumes all who come against it.

But darkness is eternal. Unlike the light, it cannot be extinguished. It will always find a way to rise again. And I, Darth Sidious, have risen with it.

You have done well, my new apprentice. Now, Lord Vader, go and bring peace to the Empire.

In order to ensure the security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire!

The time has come. Execute order 66.

The Force is strong with you. A powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth you shall be known as Darth Vader.

All who gain power are afraid to lose it.

The Jedi Council want control of the Republic. They're planning to betray me.

Soon I will have a new apprentice - one far younger and more powerful.

End the Jedi and become what your grandfather Vader could not. You will rule all the galaxy as the new Emperor.

Kylo: "What could you give me?"
Palpatine: "Everything. A new Empire."

As once I fell so falls the last Skywalker.

Luke: "Your overconfidence is your weakness."
Palpatine: "Your faith in your friends is yours."

We have a new enemy, the young rebel who destroyed the Death Star. I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.

I wonder if your thoughts are clear on this, Lord Vader. Perhaps your feelings for your old master have left you weakened. If your past cannot be overcome...

I never wanted you dead. I wanted you here... Empress Palpatine. You will take the throne. It is your birthright to rule here. It is in your blood. Our blood.

Deception begins with bureaucracy.

Come, boy, see for yourself. From here, you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance and the end of your insignificant rebellion.

It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father, are now mine.

The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

Every single Jedi, including your friend Obi-Wan, is now an enemy of the Republic. Do what must be done. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.

Once more, the Sith will rule the galaxy! And... we shall have peace.

I am the senate!

The might of the Final Order will soon be ready.

Palpatine: "My mentor taught me everything about the Force. Even the nature of the dark side."
Anakin: "You know the dark side?"
Palpatine: "If one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow view of the Jedi."
