How do skilled manipulators get their way?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are delving into the dark side with Emperor Palpatine. They discuss his master plan and how he uses others to seize power and get his way. Jonathan explains the many techniques that Palpatine uses, like gaslighting, grooming, and manipulating. Oh my! You may be surprised when Jonathan proposes to step in with therapy. Though Alan struggles with the prequels (don’t forget, the prequels hurt Alan), he talks about why he likes the Palpatine story line. How many prequel memes did you spot?

May the 4th Be With You!
