Emperor (Star Wars)

The Emperor was the ruler of the Galactic Empire. After having done away with the Senate, the Emperor exercised full control of the galaxy, until the Rebel Alliance emerged as a powerful obstacle following the destruction of the Death Star. After dispatching his enforcer Darth Vader to capture prominent rebel Luke Skywalker, the Emperor emerged from hiding to oversee the construction of the second Death Star. He was killed by Vader during the Battle of Endor, after failing to convince the latter to kill his son.
