Emperor Palpatine is one of the best villains in cinematic history; however, over the years there have been some missteps that fans have ignored.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Emperor Palpatine is one of the most compelling villains ever created, and his role in the Star Wars galaxy has cemented his brilliance, even if some things still do not make sense about the Sith Lord. Like many threats, Palpatine’s success as a villain far outtrumps where his character falls short.
10 Palpatine's Not As Good A Planner As He Thinks He Is Despite how well-thought-out much of Palpatine’s plans were, he was very reactive to situations. As someone who uses the Force for foresight, Palpatine should’ve been able to see many more of his problems before they happened. The clone army was something Palpatine had to integrate into his larger plan quickly.
8 Palpatine Was a Bad Master Palpatine himself was a great Sith Lord, but he was not a good master. Just in the Star Wars prequels, Palpatine had three apprentices—Maul, Dooku, and eventually Darth Vader. All three of these apprentices would eventually be killed by Jedi. Obi-Wan Kenobi killed Darth Maul in Star Wars Rebels, Anakin Skywalker defeated Count Dooku in Star Wars Episode III—Revenge of the Sith, and Vader met his fate at his master's hands because he was weakened by his son, Luke.
6 Palpatine's Easy Wins Against Jedi Don't Really Make Sense One of the first times Palpatine can be seen utilizing his lightsaber is in his Chancellor’s Suite, where he kills three Jedi Masters in a matter of seconds. In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine is able to take down Jedi Masters Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, and Kit Fisto in about ten seconds. While his confrontation with Mace Windu would be decidedly longer, Palpatine ultimately won that battle, because Windu also perished.
