Warning ! This article turn back spoilers for Star Wars : Doctor Aphra # 33Emperor Palpatineis the very essence of cosmic evil in theStar Warsuniverse , whose way of life to power is laden with the corpses of a billion lifeforms , admit and specially the Jedi . Palpatine had every single one of them killed , and out of ten thousand , only a smattering survived the bombardment . The loathsome , bright maneuver allowed Palpatine to lay claim the galaxy as his own , proving his intellect just as much as his ruthlessness . But , with every passing increase toStar Warslore , his master design becomes muddled with situations that he could n’t have possibly accounted for , making one imagine that perhaps luck , not brilliance , is how he came to conquer the cosmos . However , one novel add-on in reality does the reverse , as it makesPalpatine ’s rise to powerway , direction smarter .
When Palpatine executed Order 66 , he completed a plan decades in the making . Everything that hap , every military battle , every political argument , was of Palpatine ’s august plan , which is why he completed his wicked commission with such reverberative success . However , there are elements to how he pull it off that just do n’t append up . For example , inStar warfare : Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir , Darth Maul could have finish the Clone Warsby kill Palpatine ’s two general , Dooku and Grievous , and there ’d be nothing Sidious could have done to stop him . It was just luck that Maul did n’t down them , and then even more circumstances that Mother Talzin did n’t stop Palpatine ’s life later in that same account , as Sheev was far outmatched - and he knew it . There are a routine of instances that are similar , as every additional difference of opinion thrown into that catamenia of time for the interest of dramatic event and storytelling damp the brilliance of Palpatine ’s plan . Well , except one new addition , a Jedi artifact known as Kythoo ’s Bell , which should have meant an immediate conclusion to his plan , but due to his strategic genius , did n’t .
Kythoo’s Bell Alerts Jedi to Dangers with the Force, & Palpatine Beat It
InStar Wars : Doctor Aphra#33 by Alyssa Wong and Minkyu Jung , readers get the full explanation of Kythoo ’s Bell . Before Order 66 , Jedi Master Shaak Ti was seemingly tasked with domiciliate at the Sason Temple and meditating under Kythoo ’s Bell , waiting for it to toll . When the plangency began , Shaak Ti called for another Jedi Master , Aayla Secura , to join her , and the two spoke on the functionality of Kythoo ’s Bell , and its significance to the Jedi . As revealed by the Jedi , the buzzer channels the Force , reading the imperceptible rippling in the cosmic flow , and then alerting the Jedi tasked with listening to it - in this case , Shaak Ti .
Based on the information in this government issue , one would assume that Kythoo ’s Bell would alarm the Jedi to Palpatine ’s dark side plot , give the magnitude of the darkness palisade it . But , it did n’t , which can only intend that Palpatine knew about this Jedi tool , and made strides to forfend it . In fact , it ’s all - too possible that Kythoo ’s Bell is one of the reasonableness for the most impactful piece of Palpatine ’s design : Order 66 . Palpatine did n’t use the Force to compel the clones to shoot down the Jedi , nor did he use the disconsolate side to create them . Palpatine ’s exercise of engineering science through proxies assuredly hid him from Kythoo ’s Bell , as he made no riffle in the Force for the alert scheme to pluck up on , before it was too late .
While the exact nature of how Palpatine avoided setting off the alert system of Kythoo ’s Bell is strictly questioning at this decimal point , the fact of the thing is he did avoid it , which should have been impossible given the good - omniscient nature of its design . That ’s why this one new addition toStar Warslore in reality makesEmperor Palpatine ’s ascending to power way smarter , rather than diluting it with situations that would have been impossible to prognosticate and plan for .
