Requested move 23 June, 2022[edit]
Palpatine → Emperor Palpatine – I would like to suggest that this article's title be changed from "Palpatine" to "Emperor Palpatine". The latter is the most well-known and common name of the character, and has been used for most associated Star Wars merchandise. I realise that Palpatine was not the Emperor throughout the entire Skywalker Saga, but the fact remains that Emperor Palpatine is his WP:COMMONNAME (in a similar manner to how Maul's article is titled Darth Maul although he renounced the title for most of his appearances).JokEobard (talk) 14:48, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't agree that "Emperor" is part of the common name and you haven't provided any evidence to suggest that it is. He's "Darth Maul" because that's how he was known in The Phantom Menace, which more people have seen than the animated series. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Agree, seems more fitting as for the first 20 odd years he was simply 'The Emperor.'Halbared (talk) 08:28, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- Support per WP:COMMONNAME.
star wars palpatine
has 11.6m Ghits,star wars emperor
has 32m. Both names are commonly used individually as well as together so it makes sense to move to "Emperor Palpatine". —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 05:11, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
wrong information[edit]
This page says that Charles Soule's Vader comic suggests that Palpatine created Anakin Skywalker. This is not true. Soule confirmed that the force vision Vader had was was just showing him his biggest fears. Fans misinterpreted it as the force showing Vader that Palpatine is his father. The line "It is suggested at the end of the series that Palpatine manipulated the Force to impregnate Vader's mother Shmi Skywalker, making him, in essence, Vader's father — although this is left somewhat ambiguous." should be changed to somethimg like "It is a common misinterpretation among fans that this comic suggests that Palpatine manipulated the Force to impregnate Vader's mother Shmi Skywalker, making him, in essence, Vader's father, but author Charles Soule confirmed that this is not the case." I can't edit it myself because the page is protected. Thanks --DarthgSkyll (talk) 00:15, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
Typo[edit]
In Relationships > Apprentices section, there's a typo: 'Ankain' instead of 'Anakin'. GMT-tamota (talk) 11:35, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
"Fictional wizards"[edit]
I find this category questionable because force-wielders in Star Wars are a category of their own, unless given other titles. RedSorcery16 (talk) 15:40, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- A category should at least be verifiable WP:CATVER and it is not clear that it has been. Ideally categories should be a defining characteristic, so this fails WP:CATDEF. I agree, it should be removed, probably a few of the other categories too. -- 109.79.162.163 (talk) 20:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
A clone?[edit]
Should the Sequel trilogy section say 'Palpatine threatens revenge against the galaxy, having used the dark side through cloning to cheat death'? 86.135.116.213 (talk) 19:18, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
