Was Palpatine preparing for the Yuuzhan Vong? Some in the Star Wars galaxy believe so. Signs of Vong scouts predated the Clone Wars, and the Chiss had already fought them in distant space. Decades before their invasion, Sidious’ agent Kinman Doriana even used this threat to recruit a young Thrawn. When asked if the galaxy would be warned, Doriana replied: only when the Empire brought order. Was this foresight or manipulation? This short explores the theory that Palpatine’s Empire wasn’t just about control—but a preemptive shield against a greater, extra-galactic danger that most never even saw coming.
