One laughable detail inStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithproves thatEmperor Palpatine / Darth Sidiouswas sincerely obsessed with the Death Star long before the originalStar Warstrilogy — and before the Republic had even shine . There are actually multiple sightings of the Death Star inRevenge of the Sith , although most of them are loose to miss . In addition to Darth Vader and Palpatine looking out a windowpane and follow the other construction of the Death Star , there is also a shocking scene in whichPalpatine await at the Death Star plansin his office .
This is especially shocking because he was doing so correctly out in the outdoors , seemingly without any care . This is n’t the only Death Star Easter orchis inRevenge of the Sith , though , and the other example is genuinely bizarre . This elusive , nictitation - and - you - omit - it detail inRevenge of the Sithnot only acts as a Death Star Easter egg but also turn up that Palpatine was downright obsessed with creating this superweapon .
Palpatine Even Had The Death Star Engraved On His Tables
Images Of The Death Star Are Visible In Revenge Of The Sith
InRevenge of the Sith , Palpatine has imaging of the Death Star engraved on his table , which can be seen as he and Anakin exit his office in one conniption . Although this is mind - boggling , it actually suits Palpatine ’s characterization acrosstheStar Warstimeline . Palpatine very clearly had no reverence when it came to his farseeing - term plans , so much so that he was doing many thing mighty out in the open , include teasing the Empire ’s greatest weapon system .
Palpatine very clearly had no concern when it come to his foresightful - terminal figure plans .
In plus to this being very brazen on Palpatine ’s part , this also proves just how taken up Palpatine was with make this superweapon . There was really no other reason for Palpatine to have these engravings on his tables , other than he was clearly bent on bringing this weapon to life and want that ocular monitor of what was to issue forth . This has interesting implications forRevenge of the Sith , but the Sith compulsion with superweapons has since bleed into several otherStar Warsmovies and TV showsas well .
The Jedi Order did n’t ascertain the truth about Palpatine until it was too late , but what if they were aware of the Death Star ’s creation ?
Seriously, What Is It With Sith & Superweapons?
The Sith Just Couldn’t Give Up On This Dream
The Death Star is not the only superweapon inStar Wars . Confusingly , after seeing how relatively easy the Rebels wiped out the Death Star , the Empire immediately jumped justly into build a second Death Star — suggesting Palpatine really could n’t let this idea go . Although Snoke and Kylo Ren are n’t technically Sith , they certainly sample to copycat that poser , and they too had to have their own superweapon , Starkiller Base .
The Empire at once jumped right into building a 2nd Death Star — suggesting Palpatine really could n’t let this idea go .
These repeated effort bring up questions about why the Sith are so focussed on superweapons . Sith are powerful Force drug user and skilled in combat , so what about the superweapon strategy is so compelling ? This has me wondering whether the Sith doubt their power to obtain or continue superpower , perhaps because they do n’t have strength in numbers , and therefore must bank on massive arm to make control . Regardless , it ’s profusely clear from thisStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithscene thatEmperor Palpatine / Darth Sidiouswas obsess with the Death Star long before the original trilogy .
