Palpatine is the mastermind of the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. He corrupted Anakin Skywalker and then issued Order 66, which started the Great Jedi Purge. Palpatine was always evil. At a young age he trained under the Muun Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis. At some point during is training, Palpatine killed Plagueis while the latter was asleep. In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine refers to this incident as "The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis" or "An old Sith tale". After the destruction of the Jedi Order, Palpatine declared himself Emperor, and later had a battle with Yoda. After the skirmish in the Senate, Palpatine rushes to Mustafar to save his new apprentice Darth Vader. In a secret medical facility on Coruscant, the Emperor repairs Vader. In Return of the Jedi, the Emperor fianlly comes face to face with Luke Skywalker, whom he tries to corrupt. After nearly shocking "young Skwalker" to death, Vader lifts the Emperor and throws the latter into a shaft nearby, thus killing the Emperor after he explodes into a cloud of dark energy.
