Palpatine (Horror Movie)

This gothic space opera chronicles Sheev Palpatine’s journey from young Jedi, to the ruthless Emperor Palpatine. We see him come into contact with his Sith Master, Darth Plagueis. We see them form a unique bond with one another, Plagueis even referring to Palpatine as his son. But Sheev turns his back on him, killing him, and taking his power for himself. Decades later we catch up with Palpatine, now in a position of power in the city of Coruscant. Now he’s in a similar position to Plagueis, as he tries to turn young Jedi Anakin Skywalker to the dark side.
