- "I never wanted you dead. I wanted you here, Empress Palpatine. You will take the throne. It is your birthright to rule here. It is in your blood, our blood...."
- ―Darth Sidious, to Rey
The Amphitheater of the Sith Eternal[4] was the throne room of the reborn Galactic Emperor and leader of the Sith Eternal cult, Darth Sidious, and located within the Sith Citadel of Exegol. It housed the ancient Throne of the Sith, which the Dark Lord of the Sith offered to both Kylo Ren and Rey, two promising successors. Opposite to the throne was an amphitheater that could hold hundreds of Sith cultists. Between these two structures laid a wide space upon which Darth Sidious' Sovereign Protectors stood guard. Suffering from deteriorating flesh, Sidious relied on the Ommin harness for mobility inside the throne room, where the Sith was confronted by Rey and the redeemed Ben Solo during the Battle of Exegol.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens to 34 ABY. Because Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary places Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker one year later, it must take place in 35 ABY.
