10 Star Wars Moments IMPOSSIBLE To Watch The Same After This

A few years before the animated hit series that was The Clone Wars burst onto the scene in 2008, Revenge of the Sith debuted the first look at Darth Sidious wielding his very own Sith lightsaber during a few duels with various Jedi Masters.

After first trying to best Mace Windu in a one-on-one lightsaber fight and ultimately having his weapon knocked out of a window, Sidious once again whips out another red blade during his battle with Yoda later on in Episode III.

And while some initially assumed that Emperor Palpatine was perhaps hiding a decent supply of back-ups to call upon should he unfortunately lose or break one of his trusty weapons, the canon truth behind his multiple lightsabers was revealed during that aforementioned animated show.

During an earlier duel with Maul and Savage Opress in The Clone Wars, Sidious can actually be seen wielding both of his eventual ROTS lightsabers at the same time, suggesting that his second blade used against his little green rival was anything but a back-up.

Fans of the Prequels may not have been given any concrete information as to how Sidious was able to conjure up another weapon so quickly after his disarming at the hands of Windu. But those who immersed themselves in The Clone Wars were treated to a moment that changes the way you look at Palpatine's two ROTS weapons forever.
