If you think about it, the rise and fall of the galactic empire in the star wars there adorable: We have been watching the Emperor Palpatin solely transformed the millennium into a fascist empire for several years, but after a couple of decades everything is falling apart. Both fans and heroes at the university would be right to ask yourself as the hell, Palpatin managed to fumble so hard after all his previous manipulations were success. The answer, however, is depressing: Simply put, Palpatina Sitha eventually condemned him and his empire.
The rule of two and the sieve code
All because Sitka is obsessed with the rules of the two, which means that there should always be a master -sit and a young student who is only waiting for his turn to betray his teacher and assume that the final power is for himself. On paper, this philosophy guarantees that the acting master SIT is always as strong as possible, and when it breaks down, it is replaced by someone better. In reality, however, this angry Sitha code guaranteed that Palpatin had no real successor to rule his empire after death.
In the real world, large leaders have a nearby replacement; For example, corporate leaders are taking protests under the wings, and the presidents are supplemented by the vice -president. Of course, this system works because the new person is not just waiting to stab his boss in the back and take his place. In Star warsFor example, it seemed clear that when and when Grand Moff Tarkin died, another member of the imperial bureaucracy (such as these stuffed shirts that the Vadder uses power to scare), would be able to activate it and easily replace it.
However we see that Sitha code problems begin to represent themselves in The empire goes back. It turns out to replace the Tarkin Darth VaderBut the Vader spends all his free time, thinking to betray and kill his own boss, Emperor Palpatin. Vadera’s desires lead directly to the culmination of the film, where he shows that he is Luke Skywalker’s father and urges young Jedi to unite with him and overthrow the emperor so that they can control the galaxy as parents and son.
If the hatch said « yes », Sitha’s code would not be a problem. They just kill the palpatin and begin to rule the empire. But the Luke’s refusal will join the Weder leads Return JediWhere the Weeter first seems to be exposed to palpatina. But Luke convinces the Weder to destroy Palpatin and effectively save the galaxy, leading directly to the fall of the empire. As we see in the show as MandalorThe empire quickly falls apart in the absence of the emperor.
So, if Palpatin was not so proper for Sitch code, the empire would be in a much better place after death. He could have some junior figure of Tarkin, who was waiting for wings that could take over the team in his absence. For example, the man himself was stuck on the other side of the galaxy, but if Palpatin could have anyone with the intelligence and charisma of the great Admiral Trauna, this man could immediately take control and fight against the uprising before the empire was reduced to the shadow of his former glory.
Of course, Palpatin was true to himself to the very end: he lived and died according to the Sitha Code, and the same prohibited instructions that helped him reach the power in the first place, eventually condemned his empire. Perhaps all this will of the strength, the message from the cosmos about Habris and the short -sightedness. Or it can be just a message from George Lucas, reminding us of the dangers to allow us to religious cultists (even if they do There are cool laser balls and can charge your phone with your fingers).
