    Surely the Emperor had a family on Naboo?

    They probably changed their name to distance themselves from Sheev.

    He probably did but there are many factors like he could have been an only child, killed his family as a part of his final Soth test, orbits family simply just died off over time .

    Hard to say he'd have an heir. That said, in the Marvel comics, there had to be a reason he posthumously orders Naboo be destroyed - there are things on that planet the Emperor didn't want to be discovered. A family (extended or otherwise) could be a legit reason.

    He was probably no fun at family reunions after he went nuts and his face shriveled up.

    In the Darth Plagueis novel it is said that Plagueis made Sheev kill his family.

    Sound familiar?

    In The Old EU I read when I was little that Palpatine FORCED Darth Maul to do the same thing to his own family as his last trial before becoming his OFFICIAL APPRENTICE Z

    For me it is really better if he has no descendants as this will give us room for interesting new characters that don't have anything to do with our OT or PT main heroes. Having guys like Kylo Ren around is cool cause he can indeed be turned into an interesting character but this is something that can get old real fast if everyone is going to be related to someone we know. I don't want to be watching a SW movie 20 years from now just to be seeing Freedo trying to kill Twinkie Solo because he's holding a grudge because of what Han did to Greedo.

    I love SW and I love the Skywalker family as well but I would really love to see many stories that don't center on the Skywalkers. That's one of the main reasons that I'm pummped for Rogue One as well. I want SW to expand beyond what we have seen and I really hope that after the ST, we get non-Skywalker/Empire related stories cause it's really going to be a bummer if every single trilogy we get another Skywalker descendant battling yet another new incarnation of the Empire. I can accept it in the ST but I don't want to see a bunch of ''new'' guys that mimic the Empire just come out of the blue again with their new Death Star 4.0 planet buster weapon.

    Maybe this is also one of the reasons why I have always hoped beyond hope that Snoke is a new character and not some Plagueis reincarnation.

    Plagueis is a new character in many ways.

    In would be funny if a member of Palpatine's family showed up and they're a totally normal person.

    Makes you wonder: Was Palpatine always so evil? Did Plagueis simply give a gun to a criminal or did he give someone a gun and then convinced them to commit a crime with it?

    I've always felt that Palpatine was rotten to the core. That at some point he would've committed evil. McDiarmid describes him in such a way (irredeemable) that suggests there is something evil within Sheev from a very young age. Plagueis just saw the potential.
