Ian McDiarmid raises questions about the sex life of Emperor Palpatine 

Speaking to Variety, McDiarmid said, “there was never any discussion,” regarding Palpatine’s fuck style because “we don’t really know the answer to that question.” So it was up to the actor to “work it out in my head,” like so many DeviantArtists before him. Midichlorians were his answer. The little Force cells that give Jedi their power were used to make Anakin Skywalker, supposedly, and that same process could’ve produced a Rey. But since “George didn’t want to go too deeply into that,” McDiarmid “reckoned it was kind of virgin birth, though one not to say that because God knows you get all sorts of complications.”

He continued, “Then people ask the slightly embarrassing question about, ‘Does this evil monster ever have sex?’ And we don’t really know the answer to that question either — things in tubes, you think about probably, rather than the awful vision that you might have in your head of this monster ever having a sexual relationship with anybody.”

We may never know precisely how Emperor Palpatine shags, baby, yeah, but it’s preferable to have “things in tubes” than a scene of Palpatine getting freaky. Still, we’d take a Palpatine sex scene over that Chewbacca death fake-out.
