What happens when he is five years old in canon Star Wars [[User:Mathmaster|Mathmaster]] ([[User talk:Mathmaster|talk]])<br />
:As a Youngling, he would obviously get a funny hat and a 'not quite so dangerous' training-lightsaber. At least for Jedi training, can't speak for Sith training, which probably goes with the exact opposite (funny shoes and a lightsaber that has no hilt?)... ;) 22:13, 20 October 2025 (UTC)<br />

I don't think the title text is sarcastic. Making Palpatine look older in Return of the Jedi allowed the actor's age to be very precise for the character in the 3 subsequent movies (while allowing the same actor playing the character). --[[Special:Contributions/181.236.188.58|181.236.188.58]] 22:22, 20 October 2025 (UTC)</div>181.236.188.58
