Could Tom Hiddleston Join 'Star Wars' Universe as Young Palpatine? - Inside the Magic Posted: 19 Dec 2020 09:22 AM PST There are few villains more sinister than Darth Sidious — born Sheev Palpatine — in the Star Wars universe.
Palpatine, of course, even played a role in shaping the galaxy's most well-known antagonist, Darth Vader, when he completed his quest to turn Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) to the dark side in the final installment of the prequel trilogy, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005). Now, Christensen is set to reprise his role as Vader in the upcoming Disney+ mini-series, OBI-WAN KENOBI: An Original Series, alongside Ewan McGregor. The show is one of many new Star Wars series coming to the streaming service — Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy shared that at least 10 new shows are in the works during the studio's segment of Disney's Investor Day event on December 10. This news has, as one might expect, gotten Star Wars fans thinking about what could happen in the future, particularly if the success of the live-action Star Wars streaming series, The Mandalorian, continues with other original series set in a galaxy far, far away. Instagram user Apex Form created this unbelievable artwork featuring Tom Hiddleston — famed for playing Thor's brother Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — as a young Palpatine.

While no plans have been announced for a Sheev Palpatine prequel series, we think Hiddleston could kill the role, particularly given his experience as the traitorous Loki. As CinemaBlend notes:
Who knows what could happen in the Star Wars universe as new series and movies continue to be announced — Lucasfilm is clearly not afraid to explore new parts of the timeline — Leslye Headland's The Acolyte will take place in the unexplored High Republic era — after the success of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu's adventures. Furthermore, they are open to spinoffs featuring familiar characters. Just look at Ahsoka, which is set to showcase Rosario Dawson reprising her live-action role as Ahsoka Tano as she searches for Grand Admiral Thrawn. All this to say, a Darth Sidious series is certainly not out of the question in the future. For those unfamiliar with the character, Wookieepedia shares these details:
Hiddleston is currently filming the upcoming Disney+ Marvel series, Loki, which has already seemingly been renewed for Season 2 before the first season even airs. What do you think? Should Tom Hiddleston play a young Palpatine? This amazing fan artwork has us convinced it should happen! |
