Emperor Palpatine's cane

Canon Linked from 9 articles

Emperor Palpatine's cane was, as its name suggested, a walking aid used by Sheev Palpatine during his reign as ruler of the Galactic Empire, despite the fact that he was perfectly capable of walking without it. Twisted and gnarled, the cane had a glossy black finish. The Emperor brought it with him when he visited the second Death Star in 4 ABY in order to lure the Alliance Fleet into a trap. Shortly thereafter, however, the Death Star was destroyed during the Battle of Endor.
