Summary
- Emperor Palpatine's fatal error in his plan during the Dark Times was basing his cloning technology on flawed Kaminoan technology instead of the Arkanians, who could easily clone Force-sensitive beings.
- If Palpatine had chosen the Arkanians' cloning technology, his plan to destroy the Jedi and rule the galaxy would likely have succeeded without the need for Snoke or Rey's body.
- The revelation that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's Dagan Gera was an Arkanian Offshoot in the Star Wars universe proves that Palpatine switching to Arkanian technology would have solidified his success.
Emperor Palpatine's plan during the Dark Times of the Star Wars timeline had one fatal error that ultimately led to his demise during Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. While many thought Palpatine dead after Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars sequels revealed that the Sith Lord had survived before he continued his plan to destroy the Jedi and rule the galaxy. Despite minimal information still being given on Palpatine's Star Wars backstory, subsequent Star Wars stories across all mediums have detailed Sidious' plan that stretched from the prequel trilogy to the section of the timeline between Episode VI and Episode IX.
