Star Wars: Tales of the Empire

Summary

Star Wars : Tales of the Empire , the newestStar WarsDisney+ TV show , revealed major cracks in Emperor Palpatine ’s programme , and , shockingly , the dark side of the Force itself may be to fault . TheTales of the Empiretimelinespans decades , from the Clone Wars era to the New Republic Era intheStar Warstimeline , but the show focalise to a great extent on the showtime and conclusion of the Imperial Era . Because of this stress and the additional detail the show provided , new light was moult upon why the Empire descend despite Palpatine being one ofStar Wars ' most hefty Sith .

In part , the original trilogy already highlighted several of Palpatine ’s gravest mistake . By nature ofthe Sith Rule of Two , Palpatine always had to account for the possibility that Vader may seek to overthrow him ; in fact , Palpatine feared Darth Vaderfor this very ground . However , Tales of the Empirerevealed other ways in which being a Sith at last harmed Palpatine ’s power to maintain king , extending far beyond the dynamic of Sith master and apprentice .

One agate line delivered in both Star Wars : Tales of the Empire and The Mandalorian proves that Emperor Palpatine was always destined to fail .

Barriss Offee And Thrawn Could Both See The Empire’s Flaws

Shockingly , inTales of the Empire , not onlyGrand Admiral Thrawnbut also outmoded - Jedi Barriss Offee anticipated the issues with the Empire that would lead to its ruination . For Thrawn , this made a bit more gumption and was less surprising . As a military leader who worked richly in the Empire ’s social station , he would have had first - hand pic to the problems with the Empire and would have understood from a strategical point of view why those concerns could ultimately spell the terminal of the Empire and Palpatine ’s power . However , Barriss Offee ’s awareness nod toward Palpatine ’s inability to comprehend the defect in his approach .

Barriss Offee ’s awareness nod toward Palpatine ’s unfitness to perceive the flaws in his approach .

InTales of the Empire , Barriss was released from the Republic ’s prison follow Order 66 and the ascension of the Empire and was invited to become one ofStar Wars’Inquisitors . The Inquisitor , all of whom served Darth Vader , were meant to hound down and fulfill anyJedi survivors of parliamentary law 66or newly identify Force - users and violence - sensible people , including children . However , Barriss quickly gain that their initiative would backfire , informing Lyn , another Inquisitor , that creating reverence would only cause mass to deform against the Empire . In the end , this was exactly good .

The Dark Side Itself Made The Empire Unstable

Barriss ' critique of the Empire raise serious question about why Palpatine , a vivid and herculean Sith Lord who was able-bodied to control the Jedi , the Republic , and the separatist all at once , was unable to see why the Empire was head toward disaster with its methods of instilling fear in civilian . However , the answer lies in the nature of the dark side of the Force itself and in the heading of the Sith . Palpatine ’s focal point was n’t sincerely to create a system of rules that was sustainable and well - structure ; instead , he was only interested in getting and maintaining magnate for himself .

Palpatine ’s focusing was n’t truly to make a system that was sustainable and well - structure .

Because Palpatine wanted the Sith to rule — and crushed and eliminate the Jedi to do it — he pushed ( and kept ) the Force out of Libra . In so doing , he basically guaranteed that the light side would finally rise up , as it did with Luke Skywalker , the very person who ultimately caused his demise . He simultaneously made the Empire unstable , using violence and panic attack tactic to keep control that only radicalized the Rebellion . In the end , ironically , Star Wars : Tales of the Empireproved it was the dark side of the Force itself that ended Palpatine ’s rule inStar Wars .
