    It's so fitting that the greatest villain of all time is a politician.

    The full circle of Anakin's slavery was something I hadn't even noticed.

    the entire saga can be summarized as Palpatine playing chess with himself, and winning.

    The best thing is that Sidious wasn’t driven by malice or fear.. he was having the time of his life and enjoyed every moment of his villainy, constantly laughing and cackling like a madman

    &quot;Wait... he&apos;s not even on the list?&quot;<br><b>Impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete.</b>

    He’s one of the greatest examples of “Show, don’t tell.”

    What also makes him such a great villain is the fact that he lost the exact same way Windu did. Just like the dark blinded the Jedi, the light blinded him. They both thought their final battle would go the exact same way it did last time. Unaware that the man standing next to them (the guy prophesized to bring balance to the force) had just become their enemy and the cause of their ultimate demise. It wasn&apos;t the power of friendship or the protagonists plot armor, it was exactly what Luke said it was, his overconfidence.

    &quot;He dragged the most promising Jedi down to the fires of hell, returning him to the state of slavery he was born in, as a machine with a skull where his face used to be.&quot; That got me.

    &quot;Palpatine wouldn&apos;t drop out of the sky and just announce his plan.&quot;<br>Yeah Disney. He wouldn&apos;t...

    Palpatine is not on the List.<br><br>“It’s treason then.”

    Palpatine, as he is killing his master, Darth Plagueis:<br><br>“I needed to learn from you. No more. No less. To learn all of your secrets, which I trusted you would eventually reveal. But what made you think I would need you after that? Vanity perhaps? Your sense of self importance?? You’ve been nothing more than a pawn, in a game played……by a genuine master”.
