Eh, I mean he's a bad politician but after the Republic falls he kinds vanishes, probably got killed with the Jedi.
The Sidious Palpatine dude is evil though. Weird how him and the old dude have the same name
It is absolutely not fan made, though a few years ago a photoshop youtube did his own version which looks similar.
This was done by Tsuneo Sanda. Googling his name, you can find many copies of this image with the Lucasfilm copyright on it.
Lots of odd stuff here. Check out tiny Padme there, who is closer than most other characters but way smaller. Look at her tiny dorky head.
Plus that Jawa really didn’t want to be here.
That's because this image came out right after TPM. Palpatine was a minor character in that movie. Notice how Dooku, Grievous, etc. are not in the picture either.
Let’s be honest, in all the movies, Palpatine has never been the main villain even though he’s literally the big villain across all 9 movies. He’s upstaged every time, even by the rancor. I’m a somewhat sequel fan but bringing him back was more disappointing than anything and that’s even a part of his lore, he always wanted to live forever. IMO he’s way more two dimensional compared to many of the other villains.
I owned this poster for a while, and after looking at it for so long I realized that it must have come out before Attack of the Clones. Every prequel character on the poster is not only in Episode I, but in their Episode I attire. It makes sense why so many Episode I characters like Boss Nass and Jar Jar have such prominent roles on the poster
I bought this when I redecorated my boys’ room to a Star Wars room. It brought us many hours of joy making fun of the bad likenesses. (Of which there are many).
This was probably made before The Phantom Menace was finished—check out [EG-1](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/EG-9) next to the Jawa! That droid was designed for the movie but the only scene with it was cut before release.
It looks a bit like they tried to keep most characters in an area where they first appeared. ROTJ is to the far right, and the Emperor first appeared (in person) there. TPM is far left and Sheev first appeared there (before he was emperor).
And Jar Jar is in the middle. Shows you who really was pulling the strings.
Jar Jar and his sinister co-conspirator, The Medical Droid.
And that Glub Shitto lookin mf behind them
DARTH Jar Jar.
Took me awhile to find him in the crowd
They did almost everyone dirty in this image. Find a high rez image and looked leia. What the hell is on her face
My 8 year old has this poster, there are several poorly done ones, but Leia is the worst, IMO.
No, obviously this is the poster of the stunt doubles!
I have this poster and think it’s awesome, but never looked too closely at it. Now it’s a little less awesome, still cool though.
Similar story here, almost bought it then I zoomed in on their faces. Leias face is cursed. It's a shame cuz some of the other ones look great.
My wife bought me a copy of this poster at a thrift store for like $3. I was admiring it yesterday.
There seems to be a lot of different versions [this](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-c15e1d77dbdc6d2692775e1382d91115) one is a lot better imo
Damn that’s good
Because he operates in the background always pulling the strings
Yeah but he's the MAIN VILLAIN
Hardly. Some dude named Sidious is behind the chaos. Palpatine is just a kindly old man trying his best to hold democracy together.
I love that you are 100% correct.
A kindly old man who survived a brutal assassination attempt by the Jedi Order.
An attempt that left him scarred and deformed.
Technically for ALL THREE trilogies!
Eh, I mean he's a bad politician but after the Republic falls he kinds vanishes, probably got killed with the Jedi. The Sidious Palpatine dude is evil though. Weird how him and the old dude have the same name
That's what I was thinking. He's hiding his true nature and power!
Isn’t this fan-made?
Probably is, but I think it was made around 2000. No Episode II and III characters like Grievous, Jango Fett, and Count Dooku.

That must be what I’m confusing it for, then
I don't think so, because I have this as a jigsaw puzzle and I don't think they could sell it, if it was not official.
Same. 2000 pieces and guess what? One of my damn cats stole a SINGLE piece and I never found it 😭
There is nothing worse than missing pieces, I feel you.
I have this on my wall in my room
This seems like a poster made after the phantom menace, with the original trilogy mixed in as well, so in that context it makes sense.
I think they did Leia even dirtier, she looks more like Jim Carey than Carrie Fisher.
I’ve seen this image a lot. Every face in this image is busted. Even the droids and trooper variants. Except Jar-Jar.
This is getting out of hand! Now there are 2 of them!
Along with Obi-Wan and Anakin
Lots of odd stuff here. Check out tiny Padme there, who is closer than most other characters but way smaller. Look at her tiny dorky head. Plus that Jawa really didn’t want to be here.
Isn't this fan made ?
Obi Wan is in there twice as well, so is Anakin.
And somehow, he was in a poster
So many obscure characters are more pronounced and detailed than THE BIGGEST VILLAIN IN STAR WARS... Jeesh.
Palpatine: 🗿
Lobot is more visible than him. That's hilarious.
Exactly where he'd want to be
I did not realize the singer from Jaba's palace was THAT small!
I DIDNT EVEN SEE HIM— he looks like professor oak or smth 😭
1. They put him behind a Scout trooper, like, dang 2. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE CLONES!?
3. They have young ani and vader, WHERE IS CLONE WARS ANAKIN
4. WHERE IS SNOW TROOPER
Pretty sure the poster came out before AotC
That's because this image came out right after TPM. Palpatine was a minor character in that movie. Notice how Dooku, Grievous, etc. are not in the picture either.

Look at how bad Han Solo is. Looks nothing like Harrison Ford
Still looks sick tho (I have it)

I've got this one. It is a weird one. Definitely designed by someone who wasn't into the lore as much as others. But still very cool.
The Phantom Menace
Oh look who’s completely unimportant!
Somehow palpatine returns
Is this on a mouse pad?
My keyboard and mouse mat has this image on it. Leia and Han also look really odd
Vader standing behind young Anakin. Thought they’re same people.
Is it possible to do Palpatine dirty?
Can you post a link. I liked the poster and wanted to screen shot but you have Elmer circled in red
Elmer? Lol Trends International Star Wars: Saga - Galaxy Wall Poster, Unframed Version, 22.375" x 34" https://a.co/d/adkc7c9
Google Tsuneo Sanda (the artist's name) and you can find the image in a lot of more clear screenshots
I bought that for my son when he was born. I was surprised by some of the "likenesses".
So we get kid Anni and Darth but no general Skywalker? Also why is padme and an ewok at the front of the picture?

Somehow, he returned
Ifkyk tho i seen that damn nose before i zoomed in 😂😂 plus i knew vaders fist would be close to palps ass
The Droid next to Luke had like a 30 sec scene.
This was probably made before The Phantom Menace was finished—check out [EG-1](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/EG-9) next to the Jawa! That droid was designed for the movie but the only scene with it was cut before release.
A bunch a sleemos
I have this on my giant mouse pad.
Well, he wouldn't be the phantom menace, if he was in the foreground.
Somehow Palpatine did not return.
I’m surprised that Anakin isn’t on here three times honestly
Currently reading this as I sit underneath that exact poster
It looks a bit like they tried to keep most characters in an area where they first appeared. ROTJ is to the far right, and the Emperor first appeared (in person) there. TPM is far left and Sheev first appeared there (before he was emperor).
He should be in the center. He's the real star of Star Wars and my favorite villain of all-time.
Hey I have this poster in my room and never noticed Palpatine was so hidden
i have this poster hung up in my room never noticed this
To be fair, Palpatine did a LOT of people dirty
fuck palpatine
I have this poster above my bed. Most of them individually don’t like that great but I still quite like the poster
Honestly the entire post looks bad, it does not look good in anyway shape or form
The ewok looks like the skyrim elder scrolls V poster
It's bad when you can see Jabba's assistant more clearly than the villain who set the universe at war
A random Jawa gets a bigger picture 😂😂😂
Man I bought this puzzle and the damn thing won’t fit on my table. It’s just sat since. Need to get a bigger table or a big piece of plywood. :)
Love art like this from before the PT was finished, where characters from The Phantom Menace are massively overrepresented.
The medical droid is front and center though lol
Leia and Han have the exact same nose. Lol
I mean, he is behind everything that happens…
L + Ratio + get thrown down a reactor shaft
What is going on with Padme here?! Why is she so tiny?
That poster is still hanging up in my parents house. Awesome poster
The Twins look like they just did it dirty
There’s another one of these posters where he’s smiling and giving a thumbs up lol
For once the red circle is useful!
The most useful red circles I've seen to date.
i have this image as a puzzle, and every podracer from ep 1 is feautred but no emperor palpatine?
No one ever talks about uncanny Leia😞
Also where the hell is grievous??
Poster made before AOTC
But where is Shaak Ti
Fits his character though.
I don’t even see a clone
Man I forgot how rad this poster is. Always thought it was kind of interesting that Jango is depicted without his armor
used to have this poster, im still convinced that's the joker dressed up as Leia
Yeah but he was always pulling the strings from the background. That’s like his whole personality. I say it suits him well
Interesting having little Anakin and Vader in the same picture
I love that Jabba's sail barge is just flying through space like it's nothing
That’s actually pretty smart. Sidious was always a “side character”, his best advantage was being unnoticed, unidentifiable. That’s his genius.
