Emperor Porkatine

**Hologram:**

* Walking through walls

**Emperor Porkatine**, also known as **Lard Sidious**, is an evil Pig wizard sorcerer who was previously the leader of Lard Vader. During the past, he and the Pig Troopers attacked Naboo, where Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kaboomi were taking refuge at. He summoned an army of Battle Pigs to attack the planet, but ultimately failed as the two birds met Yoda and freed Padmé Amidala, Jar-Jar Wings and Captain Panaka. However, he made a quick attack on them to stop them from escaping from Naboo. After completely failing, Porkatine enlisted help from a new villain: Darth Hog.

Darth Hog manages to take down the ship the Birds were escaping on and crash land on Tatooine, where they would later meet friend-turned-foe Redkin Skywalker. The Pork Side follow them to Tatooine, and attack them, as Hog begins to follow them around to gather evidence of how they're going to escape Tatooine, and Porkatine gets all of the gathered evidence. Finally, when all hope seemed lost, Porkatine unleashed a new friend to defeat them; Sebulba Pig, the best Podracer on Tatooine. However, even though they summoned him to stop them, they still failed. Because of this, they chase after them to stop them from escaping, but they manage to escape nonetheless.

After Hog quits to go on his own way to stop the Bird Side, Porkatine went to attack the Birds again as they returned to their previous location: Naboo. Their plan to stop them from hiding fails as their Battle Pigs are all destroyed completely as Porkatine becomes more furious, while the Birds escape to live in a hotel on the high-tech planet of Coruscant.

However, Emperor Porkatine didn't stop. He summoned new member Zam Porksell to go and spy on them, which Obi-Wan Kaboomi recognizes. This leads to Obi-Wan telling the others, and going after her while also fighting disguised Pig Troopers. Porkatine, however, came prepared with a backup secret weapon after Zam was defeated: Jango Fett, the father of Boba Fett, who throws Obi-Wan Kaboomi into the ocean as he resurfaces as the Pork Side leaves completely.

Afterwards, using junk food as an influence, Redkin Skywalker slowly began falling under the influence of the Pork Side and saw that he was a very skilled fighter. While on Geonosis, Porkatine manages to completely corrupt Red enough to turn him against his friends just in time for his next attack on the Birds with new allies. Redkin fully turns against his friends and completely satisfies Porkatine, and both of them order for the Pig Troopers to kill all of the Jedi. However, Obi-Wan and Padmé managed to escape with their lives to a new planet: Mustafar, where Porkatine is completely thrown to the side and the evil Redkin is thrown into the lava pit, throwing Padmé, Redkin's love interest, into spiraling depression. After Anakin's assumed death, Porkatine was the only one who knew that he'd survive, and later brought him back to his spaceship and put himself into a new identity Redkin would later adopt using surgery: Lard Vader.

However, Porkatine didn't obey Lard's orders and Lard Vader outruled him to become leader of the Pork Side, and later ordered him to build the Pork Star. In the process, they captured Padmé and Obi-Wan. While Obi-Wan escaped, Emperor Porkatine was ordered to stab her through the heart. As she died, Obi-Wan escaped unnoticed. Porkatine then spent years after that searching for Obi-Wan to take care of the unfinished business from long before with no success. That was until one fateful day...

Years later, after Lard Vader's son Red Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kaboomi, Chuck Ham Solo, Terebacca, C-3PYOLK and R2-EGG2 met each other on Tatooine, Porkatine and Lard Vader saw it as their opportunity to take over the planet. However, the Bird Side managed to escape. Later, they went to the Death Star to confront Lard Vader and Emperor Porkatine, as Porkatine was ordered to make sure the Pork Side didn't destroy the power core. However, they managed to destroy the Death Star and made Porkatine mad. Later on, they went to Hoth, and attacked them again, and after they escape, Porkatine saw it as his opportunity to shoot down their ships, and while Red trained under Yoda, Porkatine and Lard Vader made the rest of the Bird Side work on the Golden Planet.

However, Porkatine and Lard Vader later made a deal with Jabba the Hog and Lando Bird and teamed up to stop them (but for Lando, Chuck Solo). After encasing Chuck in carbonite, they escaped to Endor, where they failed to stop the Birds yet again.

Finally, after failing, Porkatine reveals that, even though the Birds destroyed the Death Star, portion of the power core managed to survive the explosion, and managed to rebuild the Death Star with it's unknowable power. However, the Birds returned to the Death Star for a final battle to stop Lard Vader and Emperor Porkatine. But because Emperor Porkatine has finally had enough of failing, the angry Emperor reveals reveals how he manipulated Redkin, forced down a path of villainy, and has been using him to get further and further into his goals, and thus steals the souls of Red's friends, making Emperor Porkatine all-powerful. Unfortunately, his plot was foiled by Lard Vader, who sacrifices his full power and is killed, and afterwards, killed completely in the Pig Star 2.0's explosion.

He is the main antagonist of The Angry Birds Star Wars Show, and it's predecessor series, Angry Birds Star Wars II: The Series. He is voiced by Nightmare Ronald.

## Appearance

Being a Star Wars variant of King Pig, we can see some parts of his body, such as his mouth, nostril and ears. To support this, we can partially see his crown showing underneath the cloak. However, his body is clearly pale due to his lack of sanity. His cloak in general is dark blue and sometimes slightly moving.

## Personality

Prior to the creation of Lard Vader, Emperor Porkatine was a sane, slightly crazy warlord who hated peace at all. As a result, he would go out of his way to destroy any peace in his path, and didn't want to learn how to "put others before himself". He is also shown to be very sadistic: as shown multiple times, he spends most of his times laughing maniacally attacking the planets, and even mercilessly killed Padmé without showing any remorse for her loss at all. The sadistic side is shown when he threatens the Bird Side to let them take over the planet, or Darth Hog would have to stab his lightsaber through Obi-Wan's heart. The sadistic side is even shown to take control of him at times, as shown in "War of Naboo", where he decides to join in on the invasion of Naboo to fight alongside his minions to go crazy with attacking.

He is also shown to be dramatic at time: in the end of Season 4, he cries upsettingly over failing to stop the Birds yet again. Additionally, in Season 5, he begins sobbing his tears down the toilet, and at the end of Season 5, he sheds a single tear upon looking at the newly born Lard Vader.

After Lard Vader's takeover as leader of the Pork Side, Emperor Porkatine grew angered, more annoyed, and even worse, loss most of his sanity and patience to his rage. On the plus side, however, he did partially learn of "putting others before himself", but didn't understand fully, as his personality after Lard's introduction worsened: he has become an impatient, grouchy, short-tempered and insane second-in-command who becomes furious whenever being forced to stay behind to command the reject part of the army. His temper even caused him to lose control of his powers slightly, as his lightning bolts occasionally strike him, showing that Lard Vader's take over has managed to corrupt the way he controls his powers.

This, tied with his anger over being replaced by Lard Vader, led to him fully outruling him to become the true ruler of the Pork Side just like in the past, showing that he will do literally anything to become ruler on the throne again, and even betray his own comrades to become a warlord once again. This, however, was all said to be not true, as he onl made Lard Vader leader of the Pig Empire so he can sit back and watch his new puppet take over the galaxy for him, showing how ruthless and deceptive Emperor Porkatine will be to manipulate others into doing the dirty work for him. Emperor Porkatine is cruel, heartless and downright manipulative, showing no mercy for anyone and will go as far as he can to rule everything in the galaxy, even if it means going against everyone he's ever worked with.

## Trivia

* He can sometimes not see because of the cloak's coverings.
* In "Dagobah Danger", he reveals that he found junk food as a source to find his path to the Pork Side.
* There is a running gag of him constantly being struck by lightning:
	+ In "Battle of the Death Star", he tries to hit Red with a lightning bolt only for it to hit him instead.
	+ In "Hoth Wars", one of the walls of the Hoth bunkers reflects one of his lightning bolts and it strikes him.
	+ In "Golden Slavery", he manages to dodge on of his lightning bolts, only for the lightning bolt to turn back and hit him.

	+ In "Clouded", a lightning bolt from an actual cloud strikes him from above.
	+ In "Storm of Chaos", he thinks he won't get struck by lightning in the episode, only for him to be struck multiple times. At the end, Emperor Porkatine is reduced to nothing but dust completely.
	+ In "Attack on Endor", he accidentally strikes himself, Lard Vader and Jabba the Hog with a lightning bolt. Porkatine, however, is just used to it and doesn't respond.
	+ In "Emperor's Wrath", he shows a flashback of all the times he was struck by lightning.
	+ In "Fall of the Death Star", Emperor Porkatine is nearly struck by a lightning bolt, only for it to miss and hit somewhere near the Skywalkers, showing that regaining control also fixed his powers.
