This is a series about Palpatine's past prior to "The Phantom Menace". It contains guesses that may be spoilers. I don't know for sure I haven't seen episodes 2 & 3.
George Lucas owns the universe this takes place in. He created the major characters, along with everything else. He makes the money off this universe not me. The Idea's offered here are mine. The additional Characters are mine. To the extent this work can be copyrighted it is.
Having gotten that all out of the way.
This series was inspired by the Phantom Menace. It will end with the start of the Phantom Menace. I have no interest in rewriting Cannon as defined by the Movies if I do violate Cannon it is purely out of ignorance.
George Lucas has been quoted as saying The Star Wars saga is really the story of Anakin Skywalker. My feeling is that Palpatine is the major supporting player in this story. Although he is the villain he is also of the force. This story was my way of figuring out just what would cause the rise of such a villain. It was written for my own enjoyment and if it causes you to feel one way or another about it I would love to know that.
Finally one question to all. Is it Anakin who brings balance to the force or is it Palpatine whose evil balances the good that the Jedi have done over years?
