  • Complete Monster: Emperor Palpatine is the sadistic ruler of the Galactic Empire who wants to make Luke and Leia his and Vader's heirs so his influence on the galaxy will continue even after his death, while using them to hunt down rebels. Palpatine has countless children kidnapped and brainwashed into his Inquisitors, uncaring about the many who die during the training on missions. When Luke hesitates to execute a Rebel spy, Palpatine has him tortured with Force Lightning, punishment which he is ready to give to all his subordinates for the smallest of reasons. Palpatine plans to create the Death Star and threaten with destruction any planet which shows signs of disobedience, causing the disgusted Skywalker twins to defect to the Rebellion. Palpatine has Luke captured and tortured for weeks in an attempt to break him, even implanting in his head memories of his father torturing him. When the Rebellion frees Galen Erso and steals the Death Star plans, Palpatine orders its crew to destroy Naboo to spite the Rebellion's leader, Padme Amidala, by destroying both her and his own homeworld. Eventually, Palpatine plots to lure an entire Rebel fleet into a trap on the Coruscant, with the intention of destroying them all and either breaking Luke and Leia back into his servants or killing them.
