Well done at choosing that name. I always imagined him having been taken by this age to be trained. Can't really see it any other way, although this definitely fits with personality and character.

Interesting lil piece. Love the symbolism! Great job! :D

I can see Palpatine behaving like that as a child.

I liked the foreshadowing at the end when the hero turned on his side and joined him.

Creepy as hell...I guess Palpy knew from an early age what he wanted to do with his life? Seriously, though, this is a great and what feels like a fairly accurate portrayal of a future Sith Lord's psyche might be at age 7.

"He had heroes on both sides pretend to be the leaders. They weren’t of course. He was the leader. He was the true commander of both sides. He knew the winner before the first shot had been fired. He had decided the loser before the first man had fallen."

That was my favorite part. Also liked that he knew there would be one guy standing along with him-is he familiar with the rule of 2? XD

That was absolutely brilliant. I loved it!

Oh my gosh! That was chilling. Even as a boy, he predicted how he would play the game. Very, very cool story. Too bad he couldn't see that the villain hero would eventually betray him ;-)

Oh and I loved your choice for his name - very fitting to his character. Nice work!

I love this one. One of my favorites! I guess that's because as I was reading it, the writing really created an impression in my mind as I was visualizing it. The ending was great too, it all comes together.

You never cease to amuse me. Keep them coming!

Great vignette! You don't see a lot of stories focusing around Palpatine's past, so it's nice to see someone trying it out. It was very in-character for him, as well.

Great story! I loved how you portrayed Palpatine. Thanks for writing this. It was awesome. God bless!

good oneshot

Very intriguing and a good character piece. It makes quite a bit of sense, really, considering how he manipulates everyone throughout the saga.

Phantom Jedi

Well, if not for participation of his mother, this may as well represents His Majestys future plans in the galaxy...

And I have to admit that this story is really a certainly described it well. I like the feelings this one invocates in readers mind.

Congratulations on good work are in place.
