I do have an emperor Palpatine action figure, so maybe that counts for
something.
Senator Palpatine was a normal man, he was content in his work and happy with where he was. But, the real joy in Palpatine's life was his fish, Mr. Giggles.
Every morning Palpatine would come down, dressed in the black bath robe Chounciler Valorum had given him, and go over to his fish tank.
"How are you today Mr. Giggles?" Palpatine would ask, gazing into the tank. Mr. Giggles would respond by doing some back flips in the water and then glancing up at his master.
"Good, good!" Palpatine responded. He would then proceed to get dressed and prepare for work.
"I'll see you when I get home." Palpatine called to his fish, and then got in his S-34K hover-car and drove to work.
Hours would pass and finally Palpatine would arrive home. He would take off his senator's coat, hang it up, then plop down on the couch to watch his soaps.
"Did you miss me today, Mr. Giggles?" He asked, glancing at the fish tank. The fish only responded by doing some laps around the tank.
"I missed you too." Palpatine said back. "Oh Mr. Giggles, what would I do without you?"
Then Palpatine would have supper, say goodnight to his fish and go to bed. The Schedule tended to repeat itself, day after day, after day. Palpatine would get up, talk to his fish, go to work, come home, talk to his fish and then go to bed. But one day, things were different.
As Palpatine said hello to his fish, he noticed Mr. Giggles was different; he kept skittering around the tank, as if afraid of something. Palpatine figured it was just a mood and went to work. All through the senate meetings he kept wondering about his pet. When work was over, he hurried home a bit faster than usual. When Palpatine got to his house he quickly got out of his car and darted up his walk.
He stopped midway when he noticed something, a window had been smashed, a window that was right in front of Mr. Giggles tank.
"Mr. Giggles! Mr. Giggles!" Palpatine shouted as he ran into his house. The fish tank was shattered and, Mr. Giggles, his beloved pet, was gone.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Palpatine shrieked, putting up his hands. "Mr. Giggles, Where are you?!"
He yelled for so long that lightning finally shot from his hands. Palpatine stopped shouting. He couldn't believe this, he had the power of the force. He was a jedi, then, glancing down at the broken glass he had a revelation.
"I know now what I must do." He breathed. "I will dedicate my force powers to find out who took Mr. Giggles! And I will crush all those in my way, from this day on, I am no longer Senator Palpatine, I am now Darth Sideous!"
