Chancellor Palpatine’s true colors finally emerge in Revenge of the Sith, as we see him transform from a regally dressed Senate leader and concerned politician into the sinister and loathsome Darth Sidious. Hiding his true nature as a Sith for many years, Palpatine uses his position on the senate to manipulate events in his favor, ultimately reshaping the Galactic Republic into the evil Empire and turning promising Jedi Anakin Skywalker to the dark side. Cruel, power hungry, and arrogant, the sleek chancellor is the ultimate villain of the Star Wars saga.

Worked flat the long way to mimic the silken woven fabric of Chancellor Palpatine’s over tunic, this unisex cabled scarf is a straightforward and easy-to-memorize eight-row pattern repeat. The intertwined texture of the cable combined with the ruby red make this a luscious, opulent knit for anyone seeking to show off their power.
