because i’ve been think about the rots novelisation again i have to stress to the people who haven’t read it that palpatine’s manipulations was so convincing that even i, the reader, who knew he was evil, knew he was lying, was starting to go “he’s got a point” before i realised what was even happening and it was scary as fuck. now imagine he’s one of your closest friends and you DON’T know he’s been evil the whole time and also he’s been grooming you since you were nine years old. wyd.
