An iconic quote by Palpatine about his power in Return of the Jedi was turned a great joke by a Star Wars comic, revealing all his flaws.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Emperor Palpatine's iconic quote about his power in Return of the Jedi was turned into a hilarious joke by Star Wars over 20 years ago. Ever the arrogant Sith Lord, any instance of a surprising development in Return of the Jedi was met with Palpatine's words that he had "foreseen it.
With all the power in the galaxy and the ability to see events before they transpired, Palpatine was remarkably bad at countering when it mattered most. The arrival of the rebel fleet was part of his plan in Return of the Jedi, but he seemingly had no failsafe in the event that his enemies succeeded in taking down the deflector shield.
Palpatine Foresaw All Of The Death Star's Problems In the comic Star Wars Tales #4 released in June 2000, a hilarious meeting between the Emperor and top ranking Imperials over the Death Star takes place. Being the genius that he is, Palpatine declares that he's aware of the many issues that plague the Death Star, including direct access to reactor shaft that would be his original body's final resting place in Return of the Jedi.
Close As if hosting a business session, the Emperor calls his underlings "gentleman" and rattles off the array of issues the Death Stars are infamous for. He ironically makes a note to Vader about watching his back for the lack of guard rails, though it was the fall that got him when his apprentice threw him overboard. Just as funny is the dynamic between Vader and Tarkin, who seem incompetent while conferring with their Emperor and have an A New Hope-inspired squabble.
