Game appearances
Angry Birds Star Wars
Emperor Palpatine appeared as the last boss, fought in the final level of the Death Star II world, although he first appears watching in glee as Luke Skywalker and Anakin Skywalker fight. After the player clears the penultimate level, Sidious watches from his throne as Luke is distraught over having injured his father. Luke then turns his lightsaber on Sidious, terrifying him.
During the fight, Sidious is surrounded with an electrical shield, which weakens whenever he discharges thunderbolts across his room. His thunderbolts will trigger from hitting him. Occasionally, Sidious will change his height; he is invincible until he stops moving, and he will not move if he has lost the electrical shield. After hitting him with some birds, he will be very injured and stunned. After that the player could play as Darth Vader, who's the only bird who could defeat him. In the next cutscene, Sidious is shown getting knocked over the railing to his doom, but manages to strike Vader with one last thunderbolt.

Darth Sidious only appears in tournament levels as a hologram in the game. His power is to hit objects and enemies with chain lightning.
Angry Birds Star Wars II
In the second game, he becomes a playable character and is also seen more frequently. His power is to shoot chain lightning. The chain lightning he shoots can conduct through Iron, usually destroying surrounding blocks hit with it. Sidious makes his first appearance in the sixth stage of the Naboo Invasion's Pork Side.
Sidious wore a false beak while he was disguising as a bird and became the senator of Naboo then elected to become the chancellor of the Senate. The Jedi Birds and their fellow were totally unaware with his true identity as a ruthless, powerful Sith Lord until he issued Order 66, leading to the termination of the Jedi Order, and possessed Anakin via gaslighting. After the Sidious-possessed Anakin met his own defeat, Sidious sent his troops to recover the corpse, leading to Anakin's transformation into a cybernetic zombie.
If the player fails a Bird Side level, Sidious performs his evil laugh[1], and if the player fails a Pork Side level, Sidious gets very angry.
