Somebody in the galaxy far, far away, looked at a man named Sheev Palpatine-Chancellor of the Republic, a flying saucer, a fascist dictator of the Galactic Empire, an evil space-maker.Hi, what have we here? ”

This is something we know. However the real question not so if Sheev he acts. It's being talked about what.

Star Wars: The Awakening of Skywalker introduces the most interesting things about Emperor Palpatine throughout twisty-turny, narratives brought by fans. Not only did the Emperor be born again, backed by the magic of the Eternal Sith and his hatred of analyzing his order from planet Exegol, but he was doing it in serving one purpose: to persuade his grandson the Dark Side of Power, to create the Sith Emperor that he and the living memory of The black sider before him could be powerful and influential.

Get upSo many twisted viewers in all of this is that Palpatine is back – it's nothing, for better or worse, star Wars the tie-breaking media has been to lay the foundation of for a while now. Not that my grandson is Rey, who is forced to deal, and finally we refused, the legacy wants his blood to take its course, inspired by the family he inherited from Skywalker. The twist that organizes all of this is that, to have the first grandchild, Palpatine—Sheev Palpatine– Having a child of his own, a son, as Get up it reveals.

And even though it is possible in the world star Wars, full of spells, ghosts, laser swords, and moon-shaped weapons and planets by which Palpatine adopted a child through more traditional means – Force use such as Anakin Skywalker's rating, upper body or other genetic manipulation, and perhaps even using surrogacy . But there's one simple fact: Palpatine met a woman, maybe he fell in love and, of course, told her the misery of Darth P diseaseis the Wise, if you will.

Have you been * you * Ever felt sad?

But Palpatine was a busy man, in the midst of controlling the privacy of some vacant pilots in the Jedi Council, whistled into conflict between the two parties, built his freedom with the ashes of the other, and then … well, discussed ancient prophecies and evil magic while the subordinates his bickered endlessly. No matter what you actually do, they make a plan to seek offline power from unknown regions of operation, that is, the best of your heartbreak and make fun of the big hole in your office inside the killing of your largest planet on the moon – it needs to be focused. So, when in the midst of all that, did Palpatine have time to get married and ready to meet?

Let's do it all star Wars the fans do it: looking up at the needless minute again look at the times.

Let's start with another release from Rey's birth. Thank you star Wars Virtual Dictionary books, We know that Rey was born on 15 ABY – that is "After the Battle of Yavin" in star Wars chronology, so 15 years have passed A New Hope. But in case you missed it, the most recent visual dictionary The rise of the Skywalker bring a a new age scale which reorganized the galactic events surrounding the destruction of Starkiller Base (BSI and ASI, "Before and After the Starkiller Event") at The Army Awakens. Let's … ignore that for now, and go for the BBY / ABY standard, as we will eventually interact with the timepieces from the beginning in the Skywalker Saga.

That new book tells us that Rey was about six years old when he was left by Jakku by his parents on 21 ABY – his father, Palpatine's son (played by Billy Howle), and his mother (Kill Eve& # 39; S Jodie Comer) -when they tried to escape Palpatine's rage in the form of the murder of Sith -essess, Ochi of Bedoon. Ochi and his ship, Bestoon's Legacy, find Rey's parents shortly after: Get up The dictionary tells us that her parents died 13 years before the Starkiller incident. In that case The Army Awakens happens 34 ABY, can make their death and happen the same year the Rey calendar left on Jakku.

Rey, left in Unkar Plutt's "care".

We have not been given the official age of my father or my father or mother, so the only thing we have to go now to make a negative estimate is Howle's age. In accordance with IMDB, Howle was born in November 1989 – given that Get up released in December of 2019, he may have been 29 when he shot his short look as Rey's dad, with the exception being left surprisingly it's too late. If we make the assumption that Rey's father shares Howle's age (thought to be apparently as the actor's age has nothing to do with the character), and he was 29 when he died at 21 ABY, that would mean he was born around 7 BBY. Don't forget 0 BBY has been a year!

So, if Rey's father – Sheev Jr., if you will – was born 7 BBY, depending on what of star Wars calendar, and making up the idea of ​​a normal 9-month pregnancy, Rey's Dad she may have been pregnant in that year or the last part of 8 BBY. What was going on in the Galactic space at that time?

Meanwhile, the republican revolution in the Galactic Empire was well-established — it had been ten years since the end of the Clone Wars. Star Wars was already very well-built, entering its final stages of building over the planet Scarif a few years ago, and Han Solo had succeeded in winning the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian at the same time. Jyn Erso, trained by apostate Saw Gerrera from an early age, had served as an antiwar activist, killing Imperial scientist Dorin Bell on Earth Horuz. Possibly for good foresight, at the 7 BBY Ancestors Festival Festival would take place in Pasaana – if it happens every forty-two years, the next time it was Rey's party the friends found themselves caught up when they finally found out Bestoon's Legacy and, ultimately, the real legacy of his family.

Besides, we don't know all that (at least internally star Wars canon). Except for the fact that, well … it'll convince you that Sheev, who is wrong, played his part in this pregnancy back badly damaged by lightning attack by Mace Windu.

What a catch.

Look, whatever your boat is, the Palpatine & # 39; s Potential Paramour. You do too. But, granted, George Lucas plans to start Underground, the act of acting star Wars A TV show that's never, included Palpatine is sympathetic insulted by a lover of crime … perhaps the vision of Palpatine in charge of his legacy has been in the planning for far longer than one might think?
