hey guys hey doing today we're gonna talk about kind of a continuation on
yesterday's video regarding the big news was revealed in the novelization of the
rise of Skywalker Episode nine and that is that Palpatine was a clone in Episode
nine so with all of this I've been thinking for the last day and I want to
go into this a little bit more why was his clone body if he's a clone so
disfigured and destroyed there's two theories behind this and two that
obviously are taken from legends because this entire story is taken from legends
as well and if you don't know that you can watch yesterday's video or search up
the dark empire comics for yourself where Sidious comes back as clone bodies
of himself now before we get to the answer I'm slightly disappointed that
they didn't use a younger body of Sidious because that was the whole
premise of dark empire basically he came back when he was like twenty or thirty
years old and he was in his prime and he fought Luke Skywalker it was really cool
and I would have loved have imagined Palpatine came back when he was twenty
in this movie and just fights Ben solo and fights Rey at the same like with two
lightsabers like it it'd just be like Clone Wars it would be really cool now
regarding his clone body why it was all disfigured there are two reasons the
first is that they cloned his body after he was destroyed when Vader threw him
down the shaft so he was all like splattered and they kind of got the
remains of him that's my theory or interpretation of it but the real answer
I believe and this harkens to the dark empire comics itself which is where this
story was taken from Palpatine has so many different clones of himself because
not just in case he died he was very very egotistical he knew that he was
very powerful and he wouldn't really be killed that easily but in the event that
he would be he had multiple clones of himself but that's not the main reason
the main reason is because these clones didn't have enough powered and the flesh
in them was basically deteriorating very very quickly especially with the high
use of the dark side that he used they couldn't withstand the total power and
it even says in this excerpt that's something about Palpa don't have it open
and we wish open it right it says kylo could
feel in his very bones that this clone body sheltered the Emperor's actual
spirit it was an imperfect vessel though unable to contain his immense power it
couldn't last much longer and above this it says his eyes were
filmed over with milky blindness so he couldn't see and vials punctured his
neck all the vials were empty of liquid save one and this is where it's all at
which was nearly depleted kylo peered closer
he'd seen this apparatus before too when he'd studied the Clone Wars as a boy the
liquid flowing into the living nightmare before him was fighting a losing battle
to sustain the Emperor's putrid flesh so the liquid was basically sustaining his
skin I suppose that's why he looked so different a lot of people were wondering
if this is Palpatine why doesn't he look the same or does he have the same scars
the same disfigurement his face isn't as melted as it was from Revenge of the
Sith or in Return of the Jedi so what's the reason behind that and I say because
this was just a clone body that the flesh was completely deteriorating and
he needed all these liquids I guess he was running out yes they needed to go
get more of those liquids and who brought him back well that's a theory
that I don't really have an answer to but I think basically Sith cultists all
those sethe worshippers that he had in the audience there in the Stadium
I think they helped resurrect him somehow now how does this tie into Star
Wars ties into Star Wars because the Mandalorian the Mandalorian is all about
cloning we have the Kamino cloner the doctor there himself
dr. Pershing now he is trying to clone a force-sensitive and they chose a Yoda
species Yoda that maybe oh the child is either a clone of Yoda or it's just
another one of the species and they chose him I believe because he's so
equal in the force in the power of the force with Palpatine so if they could
clone his body then they could do the same with Palpatine and perhaps they
never perfected it and because the mando stole the child and they weren't able to
complete their research or anything like that they couldn't perfect the ability
to clone a force sensitive body into another body with that high of force
sensitivity I don't know these are just different theories I'm coming up with
here but the main thing he is why he didn't look the same I believe
is because his flesh just kept deteriorating and this is something that
was even especially noted in the dark empire comics right so we even see it
right here on one of the pages long ago let's make it fun
long ago I found my flesh could not withstand the awesome demands of the
dark shade the great Emperor Palpatine discovered he was dead my body was
literally consumed by the energies I had released fortunately fortunately there
was a way
so he obviously found the way and he knew that with all of this dark side
energy that he had his body couldn't stand it with these clones the organic
one yes sure but even then the dark side makes you quite disfigured as was
written in legends now onto the topic of why the clone wasn't young like he was
in the dark empire comics well that's kind of unfortunate that he wasn't
because it could have led to such a cool action scene and storyline and
everything how would they take down this younger version of help they would have
been the strongest version of Palpatine ever because it would have a strong body
and the mind would have lived this entire time you know learned all these
force abilities Hey okay sorry she was making noise are you gonna stop alright
so you would have learned all of those abilities over this vast period of time
and basically gone into a younger stronger self however the issue with
that of course with the deterioration and everything I understand that but why
didn't they use that in this movie they could have started out with a younger
Palpatine and he would have you know just kept iterating and they would have
gone the same premise as the comics and just made more and more and more of them
so he would transfer his essence so the reason I think is because of the mando
and this is how it ties in and meshes perfectly
so the mando abducted the child or saved the child from dr. pursing the cloning
facility and the empire as a whole this basically took their ability entirely
the Empire's ability to understand how to clone a younger force-sensitive into
another younger force-sensitive possibly and eliminate that entire deterioration
process that we see in the rise of Skywalker and maybe this is you know the
mando plays a big part in the entire saga now or at least in the sequel
trilogy because he took away their ability to understand how to do this
that's why Snoke is old that's why Snoke is always deteriorating that's why
Palpatine is deteriorating there seems to be a common theme and I think they
never really cracked the code of youth the Fountain of Youth with cloning force
sensitives and I think that might be the issue here and that's how it could maybe
tie in perfectly I don't know now what I think could happen in mando season 2 is
we're gonna get a completely different kind of season you know the first season
was introducing and oh and the child and this and that
and what the Empire is kind of doing in this sort of in-between period between
Episode six and Episode seven sort of everything is in disarray I think we're
gonna go and I've said this before in some other videos I think they were
gonna we're going to he has to take the child back to Yoda species and we don't
know Yoda species so we're just gonna say Yoda species it's like the most
mysterious creature and all Star Wars pretty much there's only been two of
them that we've seen one now three there's Yoda yet oh and the child so I
think what's gonna happen is that the mando has to track down where this child
is from and one of the people who really knows Yoda of course is Luke Skywalker
so he's gonna go through this Easter egg hunt throughout the galaxy and people
are gonna point him in the direction of this Jedi and then I feel like the very
end as we you know discover more lore and more Jedi stuff and you know he goes
maybe to the temple and this and that which is now corrupted by the ant warden
actually know as falling this is after Return of the Jedi so I'd love to see
where it's at in Canon now so he could go there he could go to all these
different places and try to find where Luke Skywalker really is and try to you
know meet other Jedi and some you know so on and so forth and in doing that at
the end he comes across the Skywalker and Luke's look Luke looks at the child
and recognizes you know what exactly this is and where to take it what to do
with it so that's that's a really big cliffhanger I mean just imagine if that
would happen everyone would be on board for season 3 of course if they're not
already so and tons of things they can do tons of different theories I have in
speculations regarding how this all ties in with episode 9 I really think they're
pushing the whole cloning thing as we saw in in the mandalorian and as we see
now in the novelization that Palpatine was indeed a clone so since that theory
in mind you this is just a theory this is just me putting things together from
legends for you guys that theories out of the way let's say we can accept or at
least acknowledge it as a possibility the other thing that I wrote down is
that he wanted to he wanted gray to strike him down so that his spirit lives
on in her so it's kind of right there in plain sight and this all just makes
sense now he wanted to transfer his essence into her body
and basically just that's how he would continue living so it would never really
be Ray it would be more so ray with Sidious
inside of her and he would be controlling her and she would be more in
the dark side and all that I think he just needed her to open up that darkness
within her and once she opens that vessel that that flood the floodgates he
can just go right in and then take over her whole body and her mind now
the reason he chose her and wanted her this whole time is because she obviously
has the organic tissue from Palpatine since she is his granddaughter why he
wouldn't do this with his son possibly his son was useless and didn't have the
force I don't really know but Rey does and that's probably the whole premise of
this and why he wanted kylo to bring her to him or you know was so infatuated
with the idea of turning her to the dark side because once he does then he can
really live forever and then in his sit spirit will live on in her so that's my
theory let me know what you guys think hope you enjoyed this little theory and
breakdown and see you guys in tomorrow's video have an awesome much every day
until then remember the force will be with you always
