Several REVENGE OF THE SITH Deleted Scenes Reveal How Palpatine Truly Became Emperor

The Nerdist article discusses how deleted scenes from Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith more explicitly illustrate Palpatine's descent into fascism and the Empire's totalitarian nature. These scenes showcase Palpatine manipulating public opinion, exploiting fear, and systematically dismantling democratic institutions to consolidate power. By depicting the Senate's increasing subservience and the suppression of dissent, the cut footage would have made the film's political themes even more apparent, underscoring the dangers of unchecked power and the erosion of liberty in the face of manufactured crises. The article argues that these deleted scenes would have further highlighted the parallels between Palpatine's rise to power and real-world historical examples of authoritarianism.
