Sup, iam Dennis Mcmillin, Enjoy the rest of your day.
Well, did Palpatine know Starkiller? That’s the million dollar question! It’s hard to say for sure, but there are some clues that suggest he may have had an inkling. For instance, Palpatine was known to be a master manipulator and had his fingers in many pies. He also seemed to have a knack for knowing what was going on behind the scenes. Plus, Starkiller was one of his most trusted apprentices and it stands to reason that he would have kept tabs on him. All in all, it looks like Palpatine probably knew more than he let on about Starkiller!
Did Palpatine Know About Starkiller? [Solved]
Well, Vader said he had no plans to use Starkiller to take down Palpatine, but it looks like the Emperor was in the know all along.
Palpatine’s Knowledge of Starkiller: It is unclear whether or not Emperor Palpatine was aware of the existence of Starkiller, the secret apprentice of Darth Vader.
Starkiller’s Identity: Starkiller was a powerful Force-sensitive individual who was trained by Darth Vader to become his secret apprentice and help him overthrow the Emperor.
Vader’s Intentions: It is believed that Darth Vader intended to use Starkiller as a tool to overthrow Palpatine and take control of the Galactic Empire himself.
Palpatine’s Awareness: While it is unknown if Palpatine knew about Starkiller, he did seem to be aware that someone else was attempting to usurp his power and position in the Empire.
The Fate of Starkiller: Ultimately, it appears that neither Palpatine nor Vader were able to use Starkiller for their own purposes, as he died during an attempt on the Emperor’s life in 3 BBY (Before Battle Yavin).
It’s a mystery whether Palpatine knew about Starkiller or not. On the one hand, he was a powerful Sith Lord and had his fingers in many pies, so it’s possible he was aware of Starkiller. On the other hand, there’s no concrete evidence to suggest that he did know. Guess we’ll never know for sure!
