This
is the tale of how Sheev Palpatine (better known for his Sith name Darth Sidious)
successfully wiped out the Skywalker bloodline and end up winning a 40 year old saga.
At the beginning of our story, Palpatine
took an immediate interest on Anakin Skywalker ever since he was a boy, because he was produced by the Force itself and was said to be the “chosen one” who would bring balance to the Force. As confirmed by “Attack
of the Clones”, the two grew very close and Palpatine offered him guidance and council. Anakin
goes as far as saying to both Obi-Wan and Padmé that the senator is wise and to
be trusted.
Palpatine was behind the attempt
on Padmé Amidala’s life in “Attack of the Clones”: he hired Jango Jett and commissioned the
clone army from Kamino. Jango
Fett was a top bounty hunter, he would have succeeded in killing Padmé, however
he hired another to do the job, meaning Palpatine didn’t actually want her dead.
He then insisted Padmé needed to be protected at all costs and stay away from Coruscant:
he’s the one who suggests Obi-Wan Kenobi to be responsible for her protection
because he’s an old friend (and mostly because Anakin is his Padawan, and he was aware of his feelings for Padmé);
Anakin
and Padmé go into hiding on Naboo and they fall in love, like Palpatine
intended: “everything is proceeding as I’ve foreseen”
Then
Palpatine places the nightmares inside Anakin’s mind about his mother dying.
Later on, he’ll do the same about Padmé. Anakin believes these nightmares
entirely because they have proven right about his mother.
Anakin
falls to the Dark side and becomes Darth Vader because Palpatine manipulates him with false promises of
learning how to save Padmé from death
Anakin
is not the one who kills Padmé, since she’s still alive to give birth to the
twins. However, it’s said Padmé is completely healthy but has “lost her will to
live”. It’s like her Force life is being suck out of her. Hmm, I wonder who is known
for doing this… Exactly: Palpatine.
With
Padmé gone for good, Darth Vader would be by Sidious’ side always, especially
since he believes himself responsible for her death.
Then in
the OT Palpatine wants the Skywalker bloodline wiped out: he wants
Vader to kill his own son and Luke Skywalker to kills his father. When all of this fails,
he wants to kill Luke himself.
Vader
end ups betraying Palpatine, preventing him from killing his son and dying in
the process. Luke
forgives his father and wants Anakin to come with him. However it’s too late
because Sidious’ Force lighting damaged Vader’s suit (the only thing that was
keeping him alive after Mustafar) and he dies.
Luke
carries on the Jedi tradition. But Palpatine isn’t gone. He keeps an eye on
Leia’s unborn child with Han Solo: Ben. And apparently he gets to have a granddaughter
of his own too: Rey. He sends for an assassin named Ochi to
kill her parents and get her but then drops it because reasons.
Anyway,
Palpatine pretends to be a man called Snoke and Darth Vader to communicate
with Ben, and alienate him from his family because there is no way the Skywalkers can have a
moment of happiness on their entire existence. Ben
is Force sensitive and strong in the Force, so Leia sends him to Luke’s Jedi academy even tho she has been trained as a Jedi herself apparently.
As
confirmed by “The Rise of Kylo Ren” comics, one night Palpatine gets into Luke’s
mind and shows him visions of Ben’s future as Kylo Ren. While manipulated by
Palpatine, Luke thinks about killing his nephew but immediately regrets it.
However, Ben wakes up and see his uncle’s lightsaber over him and destroys the
hut to protect himself.
Ben
is confused and asks himself why Luke would ever do such a thing. Palpatine
creates a fire on the temple, killing all the Jedi who lived there. Ben tries
to save his colleagues but can’t. Inside his mind, he hears he doesn’t get to
choose.
Meanwhile, three Jedi arrive and confront Ben. He tells them Luke tried to kill him but
they don’t believe him and engage on a lightsaber fight to avenge their “murdered” master.
Ben defeats them and leaves. Believing he can’t go back home to his mother Leia, Ben goes to the only person he believes to be his friend on the entire galaxy:
Snoke/Palpatine:
Alienated
from his family and believing he has nowhere else to go, Ben Solo becomes Kylo
Ren: a server to the Dark side of the Force. He’s brutally trained,
brainwashed and abused while Snoke/Palpatine keeps him on a leech. He
also becomes the master of the Knights of Ren and a soldier of the First Order,
an organization who rose from the ashes of the old Empire.
A few
years later, Kylo Ren meets Rey (Palpatine’s granddaughter) and they have an immediate
connection. Kylo kills his own father at Snoke/Palpatine order to prove himself
strong in the Dark side of the Force. However, this breaks him instead of
making him stronger. Snoke/Palpatine is disappointed. Rey
Palpatine and Kylo Ren share a Force Bond and become closer: Rey beings to emphasize
with him and believes there is Light in him still.
However,
Luke and Leia don’t believe this anymore because their entire trust is in Rey,
who they know for a fact is a Palpatine but that doesn’t define her character while
being Vader’s symbolic heir surely defines their own flesh and blood.
Anyway, Rey goes to Kylo
Ren because she believes Ben Solo can return. Things don’t well and
Snoke/Palpatine wants her granddaughter killed so Kylo proves himself strong in
the Dark side. Kylo kills Snoke instead and wants Rey to join him, she refuses and leaves him.
It’s
time for Palpatine to reveal himself and Rey as her granddaughter. Kylo finds him on Exogol
and he reveals this. Kylo tells Rey the truth about her heritage.
She refuses to accept it. Meanwhile, Leia decides to sacrifice herself to make Ben return to the
Light. She dies without ever
reuniting with her son. The most important reaction
to her death comes from Rey Palpatine also, who Force heals Ben after stabbing him with his own lightsaber. Rey
confesses she wanted to be with Ben all along.
Meanwhile,
Rey Palpatine goes to confront her grandfather alone. Ben returns to the Light and
goes to her rescue. He gets thrown into the pit during the final showdown against
the Sith lord who destroyed his family and entire life. After
having his vengeance taken away from him, the last Skywalker gets out
of the pit to find Rey Palpatine dead. He loves her so much, he end ups giving
up his own life to resurrect her. Completing
what her grandfather started and wanted all along: the Skywalker bloodline is
officially over because of Palpatine’s heir. In
the end of it all, Palpatine’s heir usurps the Skywalker name for herself and gets
to see Luke and Leia’s Force Ghosts smiling at her. She
also gets to have the two Skywalker lightsabers to build her own. The end.
Recap of the Skywalkers end:
Padmé
Amidala: most likely killed by Palpatine.
Anakin
Skywalker: killed by Palpatine
Luke
Skywalker: killed himself to save Palpatine’s heir
Leia Skywalker:
killed herself so her son can save Palpatine’s heir
Ben
Solo: killed himself to save Palpatine’s heir
Bonus – Han Solo: killed by his son at Palpatine’s order
Yeah all of this makes loads of sense Disney you dumb fucking cowards.
