I read somewhere (can't remember where) that Palpatine has a son who he put away in a sanitarium 'cause he was mentally ill, this also said that the Galactic Empire and Palpatine denies this....
What you think about this???

I don't know. It depends on where you read it.

I just told that I don't remember where I read this, possibly in a SW-encyclopedia...

He does have a "son", Irek ismeriten, or something. One of his handmadens, an emporers hand, had a child, who prolly wasn't palps son, but the emperor called him his son. He could use the force and had an implant which aloud him to control computer programs throught the force.

Thanks, Delfredd...

I don't know, that sounds sort of...wierd.

Yeah it sounds real but I can confirm that it's true

Weird? Why can't Palpatine have a son?
And if he had one, he would probably be insane, come on, look at Palpatine's character, can't you see it?

I never said he couldn't have a son. I just don't believe anything that is said unless it's in the movie or confirmed by GL. If it's EU crap, then I don't consider that real SW. Sorry.

well, i don't consider the Pre-logy to be real SW...but whatever the great Lucas does must be real SW...

Anyway, if you know something about it, who is the mother?

Well, he is the head creative force behind the seires. He created it after all. It's his vision. If it's written or said by some other guy in an EU book that is not an official part of Lucas' vision, then I just consider that " not Official SW." That's all.

Here u go... check it out.

Dude, you can't be serious?

I'm not gonna say Palpy doesn't have a son. But you'll need to show me a more reliable looking web site then that.

HIS NAME IS NOT PALPY...RESPECT PLEASE...

Umm...I think you know what I meant.

Yeah...but at least you could show some more respect for Palpatine!!!

Well, if he had a son, Palpatine would have him killed immediately. I mean, he would have killed Luke and Leia if he had the chance. All of them would be threats to him, and as we all know, Palpatine reacts to his fears with an iron fist.

It's just a movie bud.

Back when I was 7, I read a little trilogy of books--illustrated, and about 80 pages each--and the Emperor had apparently locked away his insane child. I seem to recall the son's name being "Triclops", coming from the fact he had an extra eye in the back...I'm gonna see if I can find something in relation to this.

But a very powerful one, isn't he?

You speak the truth... His name wasnt Triclops... but it was soemthing similar. It was an awfull series.. geared towards kids. It's no longer concidered part of SW Continuity as later books have contradicted what was in this series.

Indeed.

Finally we agree...

Well I never really disagreed with you about Palpy having a son. I'm just not a follower of the EU too much.

Well, there's good EU, and bad EU. Good is Zahn's and Stackpole's works.

Bad is Palpy having a son.

Why should that be bad?

Because it doesn't really fit in with anything sorta a random change, one that the movies obviously don't endorse at all.

Ah, I see..

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I would swear you looked different last time...

Palpatine did have a son and He appeared in the New Jedi Order. Just after the vong took Coruscant and Luke, Mara, Tahiri and a team of infiltrators went to start a resistance. Mara, Luke and Tahiri managed to take Triclops down.
