[Spoilers for Rise of Skywalker] I just realized that Palpatine’s plan is a rip-off of Valkorian’s plan from SWTOR, KotET, and KotFE

Palpatine:

  • Has an empire in control of the galaxy (Galactic Empire)

  • Allows that empire to fall

  • Has body puppets (Snoke)

  • Has a more secret empire somewhere else (Final Order)

  • Wants to be killed by the hero in order to bodyjack them

Valkorion:

  • Has an empire in control of the galaxy (Sith Empire)

  • Allows that empire to fall

  • Has body puppets (Children/Voices of the Emperor)

  • Has a more secret empire somewhere else (Eternal Empire)

  • Is killed by the hero in order to bodyjack them


It’s not a carbon copy, but there are noticeable similarities. I think Valkorion’s plan was better executed.
