An interminable chain of maneuver , in all honesty , and all built on one great truth of the recent leg Republic : bureaucratism made the Senateweak . No matter how one finger about the morality or morals of Palpatine or his Sith alter ego Darth Sidious , you have to recognize that he rose to the top using politics first .
Even based on the titles of the films alone , the prequels ARE the story of Palpatine . Hecreated the ' Phantom Menace ' to play both side of the Senate and Trade Federation schism . Heorchestrated the ' Attack of the Clones ' by taking over yield of the Grand Army to create his next empire . Hewas the one to take ' Revenge of the Sith . ' The films all just happen to be named for his original plan by coincidence ?

And the supposed hero , Anakin , had his circumstances created , shaped , and decided by Darth Sidious , all except for his own demise . At least … that ’s what we hadthought .
The switch from revenge to rule is a pernicious one to track , but it ’s important to think back that after Sheev attained"revenge"upon the Jedi for the Sith Lords that preceded him , he did n’t predicate himself ' Emperor Sidious . ' His victory belonged to him , as did the Galactic Empire that he desired to create .

Entering the earned run average ofStar Wars : A New Hope , the Emperor has used his Clone Army to take total ascendancy of the entire galaxy , dissolving the Senate and with it , the last of the old democracy . While the Rebels can claim a victory for destroying the Emperor ’s planet - killing weapon system , the audience shortly learned he had anticipated even that unlikely scenario , build a spare Death Star just in case . Even the Rebels ' greatest triumph was false , and accounted for by Emperor Palpatine .

Either in Kylo Ren , Supreme Leader Snoke , the First Order , or all of the above .
That will mean theStar Warssaga begins with Sheev Palpatine ’s first move , and likely ends with his last . Even if he is vanquish , and the Sith along with him … surelythatmust be the story these movies were telling all along .
