Today I Learned

Good morning, Reader!

So here's a fun (and kinda mind-blowing) fact: The Empire had these scomp links installed all over its ships and stations.

Guess who could use them? Just about every astromech droid, including R2-D2! 😅

It’s like leaving your computer unlocked and handing it to the smartest droid in the galaxy. Let’s dig into why this little oversight was a huge problem for the Empire.

What Palpatine Did in His Free Time?

As many Star Wars fans know, Palpatine was born into the “conservative and isolationist” House Palpatine on Naboo and is the eldest son of Consigna Palpatine. The young Palpatine came to resent his family’s less prominent position than other royal houses and hated his family. His father and he had a particularly contentious relationship. As a video conveys, when Palpatine was a child and teenager, he mostly spent his free time alone, bought “forbidden texts on Sith lore,” and learned on his own how to achieve power.

This may not be surprising, but he also enjoyed speeder bike racing and wanted to become a professional racer. Palpatine accidentally killed two people when driving his speeder bike, which may have shifted these plans. When he was younger, Palpatine was discovered Darth Plagueis and wooed to the dark side. He kept his knowledge about the Sith secret until his father tried to intervene. Palpatine used his hidden dark Force powers on his father and killed him, along with the rest of his family. Palpatine then became the apprentice of Darth Plagueis.

Until next time! Stay awesome and keep exploring the galaxy.
