Palpatine is the main character in the Star Wars Cinematic Universe, amirite?
by Anonymous1 week ago
The main character is who the narrative focus follows most, not the most influential character. Your preferences don't change how that works.

Who are we waiting for to make the next move or show up in the next scene?

In most of the movies it wasn't Palpatine.

Yes it was, nothing happens without him

This is literally not true. The Emperor didn't even become a real character until Empire and even then he was secondary to the Luke/Vader storyline.

Grand Morph Tarkin makes reference to the Emperor
by Anonymous1 week ago
Yes, but he's not involved in the plot of the movie in any way.

That doesn't make him the main character. The main chartacter is who you see the movie through for most of the film. For Star Wars that's mainly Luke, Anakin and Rey.

Lol, he was a bit of a silly billy with the old hand lightening

Not silly. It's called bad writing. And to do it two more times….once in each successive trilogy….just compounds it.

I really hope they reboot 1-3, and 7-9
by croninmonica1 week ago
I think 1 - 3 work well as a space opera, but 7 - 9 are gack

I really didn't mind the political angle. It was refreshing and it makes sense as the spark to a war. I hated jar jar, pod racing, and the science angle behind the force

Jar jar is wondaful I think, sometimes a dunderhead "hero of the civil war" become a useful pawn, watch it with Jar Jar being satire in mind

That isn't what a main character is.

The phrase main character is a reference to the idea of a main (primary) character in a work of fiction that the story centers around. Who is doing more to drive the plot forward? There's no change or drive without him.

It kind of does though, he's a chess master moving pieces on a board, everyone else is a lesser piece

"The phrase main character is a reference to the idea of a main (primary) character in a work of fiction that the story centers around." If Palpatine does nothing then there is no story
by Anonymous1 week ago
But that isn't a main character. You are just wrong because you are changing the meaning of "main character" just to suit your opinion. All you're describing is an antagonist.

Are you just gonna keep repeating that? You are wrong, and now I believe you don't even understand the concept of a main character

Okay give me your definition
by Anonymous1 week ago
The definition isn't the problem, you are deliberately misinterpreting it.

The main character is the character the view the work through.
by Anonymous1 week ago
No, he's not.
by Anonymous1 week ago
He clearly is
by Anonymous1 week ago
He's not the main character. Anakin and Obi is the movies main pov/main character in the sequels. Luke being the other main Like I get it, you're an idiot. But a main character is the one you view the world and events through.

would there have been a Star wars narrative without the Emperor?
by Anonymous1 week ago
Not one thing you said described would make him a main character
by Alveracrist1 week ago
What would make them the main character?
by Anonymous1 week ago
Palpatine essentially didn't exist in episodes 4, 5, 7, and 8 and he was basically a secondary character in episodes 1 and 6. He was really only a primary character in 2, 3, and 9. So objectively speaking this is just false.
by Anonymous1 week ago
What happens in Star Wars if the emperor doesn't exist?
by Anonymous1 week ago
What do you mean? There are several Star Wars movies where the entire plot of the movie had nothing to do with the Emperor.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Which ones?
by Anonymous1 week ago
Can you explain how any of those people are doing what they are doing without mentioning Palpatine?
