THE Best Scene Ever in THE CLONE WARS

I like how this scene was made as if Palpatine was talking to you the person watching not his almost as evil aid

Imagine watching through, not knowing Palps was evil, seeing this. That would add so much tension to the rest of the show

Palpatine is great at taking setbacks in stride

90K like!!!

Honestly I genuinely loved this version of Palps, he just manages to pull off sweet old chancellor and manipulative liar so well

Guys I think Palpatine is evil

Definitely not the best scene in Clone Wars.

Gotta hand it to Padme, I never realized how powerful she really was politically, she almost ground his plan to a screeching halt. Even then, her actions during the Clone Wars basically got the ball rolling for characters like Organa and Mothma to help instigate the Rebellion.

Padme almost robbed us of rebelion

It was one because of the inhibitor chips, if only Rex and Asoka went to yoda. Instead of the chancellor.

20 years have gone by

which season is it from?

I like how even without knowing mas amada was on on Palpatine being a sith this still feels natural. Like he could actually say this as a chancellor who didn't get the bill he wanted passed, despite his power, and it still works.

The Remarkable that The Sith in the Seat Of Republic The hole time 😊

no

That opening was straight out of House of Cards. (The US version came after, but the UK version predates The Clone Wars.)

But the Sidious vs maul and savage scenes exist

This doesn't looks like when Palpatine commands: "Executive Order 66."

That’s it, I’m rewatching all 7 seasons. It’s been 4 years.

Dude is a true democracy lover. Hope he wins Next Elections

Which episode is that again?

Is a galactic senate, a single politician’s words not swaying the opinions of millions would be rather concerning, considering the Republic governs over trillions.

Palpatine does love democracy

I'll never forget the moment I first saw this scene when I was a kid. When Palpatine appears to look directly at the camera, as if talking to the audience directly, I was stunned!

It was the first time I realised that this show - and for that matter all good media - is a product of careful, intentional design. Other people made this! They put effort and care into this scene and countless others! That was a such a staggering realisation to reach at the time

Far from the best scene but sure it's good

You people out there who want a dictatorship YOU WILL REGRET IT!

I remember this scene made me shivver at first i thought he broke the 4th wall revealing himself to be the emperor 😅. This is where Chancellor sort of officially came out to the audience as the sith lord in the clone wars

This is why Palpatine tried to have Padme killed at the beginning of episode 2. She was one of the few senators that was major obstacle to his plan

The whole context in under 1 min

The best scene is where San Hill says, "Nobody cares what you think."

Didn't knew Palpatine was a jew.

Witch episode is this

This guy looks and sounds just like that hologram visual of Darth sidious! Crazy coincidence!

It’s incredible how even though Palpatine hates Padme and wants her out of the picture to get to Anakin, he still has a genuine grudging respect for her, enough to admit that she has temporarily set his plans back. It’s an interesting relationship between the two.

Its scary to realise, that all of today’s politicians or at least most. Work this way.

Ironic without padme and anakins love to her Windu would kill him because his unique fighting Style agaist the dark Side

Elon musk to donald trump

How is this the best scene ever? It’s boring as 💩

Another Trump presidency… here we go again

Okay

Still one of the greatest scenes here in 2025

What episode is this?

Which episode is this? Somebody please tell me!

I like to think Padme unintentionally inspired Palpatine's speech when he reorganised the Republic into the Empire. Maybe he had some bigger, longer scheme for how he'd convince everyone to go along with the change, but then he learned that "The words of a single senator can sway the thoughts of millions."

"We must adhere to the principles of democracy. We must let the wheels of the Senate turn". This is what Sheldon Wolin referred to as Inverted Totalitarianism or when the structures of liberal democracy are utilized in favor of tyranny against the people. Which of course is paradoxical to their stated purpose.

honestly i atcuallly quite like the ideal that palpatine is the villain that cant be beat by sheer force alone. People challange his ideal

Id say "the coldest moment in clone wars" cuz daaamn that shit made me shiver

I LOVE how Palpatine turns to face the audience!

Oh shit the fu*** blue asistant talked
