Using this line could possibly lead to a political debate on the Clone Wars, so make sure you know your audience before you say it.Palpatine: Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?Anakin: No.Palpatine: I thought not.
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10. You've heard this when a journalist, pundit, or maybe just your friend makes a negative point about a politician they don't like. Luckily, there's three more movies, and the wrinkly faced, lightning-wielding baddie gets his comeuppance at the hands of Padme's husband, the redeemed Anakin Skywalker, and their son, Luke Skywalker. There's no protest or anything, they just sign over their rights to a Sith lord.Īnd with Palpatine in charge, the denizens of the Star Wars universe can kiss peace, prosperity, and the Jedi Order away. Senator Padme Amidala has watched Palpatine rise from senator to chancellor in almost the blink of an eye (or three movies) and is ashamed of her fellow Senate members as they clap for this space dictator. One of the most political lines in Star Wars, which has been used and misused by politicians, journalists, and conspiracy theorists for over a decade, is a piece of dialogue chronicling the tipping point when the Galactic Republic became the Galactic Empire. This line was spoken by Senator Padme Amidala (played by Natalie Portman) in Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of Sith, directed by George Lucas (2005).
