== Film ==
* Emperor Palpatine to Darth Vader in ''[[A New Hope]]'' and ''[[ReturnThe ofEmpire theStrikes JediBack]]'', making a cameo in the secondlatter. Also to Count Dooku in the prequels ''[[Star Wars]]''. We know that Dooku isn't in charge. The characters don't. Galactic-scale defeat ensues.
** Some believed {{spoiler|Darth Sidious}} was a separate character until Episode III.
** In facefact, pretty much 90% of all villainous plots in the franchise, including the non-canon [[Expanded Universe]] can be traced back to either Palpatine, or if taking place before ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'', some other Sith Lord. Even in continuities where Palpatine is believed or confirmed to be dead (something that is ''never'' certain) his vile influence can still be felt.
* The 2003 ''[[Zatoichi]]'' remake takes this to a ridiculous level in revealing ''two'' men behind the man in the film's very last minutes.
* ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'' had a rare case of the {{spoiler|''hat'' }} behind the man.
