YMMV / Saga of the Skywalkers - A Fantasy Retelling

• Complete Monster:
  • Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, is the ultimate source of evil in the story. Under his guise as a Senator of the Grand Republic, Palpatine organises the invasion of his own homeland of Naboo in order to become Supreme Chancellor. He kicks off a bloody world-wide war and eventually manipulates Anakin Skywalker to his side by promising him power to save his wife Padmé. Palpatine has almost all Jedi killed while reforming the Republic into the Empire under his rule. After Anakin is nearly killed, Palpatine uses his powers to transfer Padmé's life essence to him, killing her in the process. Palpatine spreads his tyranny and terror across the world, ultimately building the Death Star, a flying fortress that can destroy whole countries. After Vader's son Luke destroys the Death Star, Palpatine plans to turn him to the Dark Side. He has the whole Rebellion lured to the site of the rebuilt Death Star and tries to make Luke kill his father, ordering the Death Star's crew to destroy Endor if the Rebels gain the upper hand. Seemingly killed by a redeemed Anakin, Palpatine's spirit survives, and creates a homonculi named Snoke and has him corrupt Han and Leia's son Ben, and builds a new empire to terrorise the world. Ready to announce his return, Palpatine unveils a fleet with the power to destroy whole nations. He threatens destruction to anybody who refuses his new rule and tries to possess his granddaughter Rey, whose parents he had murdered.
  • Rogue One & A New Hope: Grand Moff Tarkin is the Imperial officer whose doctrine aided in the creation of the Death Star. After sanctioning the destruction of the Holy City in Jedha and its surrounding settlements, Tarkin takes control of the Death Star from his rival Krennic. He uses it to destroy a facility on Scariff, killing all Rebels there as well as countless Imperials. After Princess Leia is captured, Tarkin has Vader torture her before threatening to use the Death Star on Alderaan if she doesn't reveal the location of the Rebel base. When Leia seemingly gives him the location, Tarkin has the Death Star destroy Alderaan anyway before ordering Leia to be killed. After letting the Millennium Falcon escape so they can track it to the Rebel base, Tarkin prepares to destroy Yavin, thinking only about the drink he will have after the Rebellion is completely destroyed.
