And political power... let's not forget about political power. The machinations of the prequels were all his, and all for political power. That's a message that outshines the films.I love to hate him, LOL. I actually do prefer him over Darth NOOOOOOOO Vader (I know, blasphemy!) simply because I prefer characters who like what they are. Vader's power comes through his conflict about his Freudian issues, while Palpatine's your classic sociopath who thoroughly enjoys being evil. With all the hypocrisy I've experienced in life, it's refreshing to see someone who just revels in being oneself.
Retrospectively, I kinda like the allegory of the fact that offensive Chinese stereotype characters are trying to disrupt trade in their favor...LOL, I remember watching a review where they were griping about "the guy who sounds like Mojo Jojo" (or maybe it was the video game, I forget), and then they were like "Hey, that IS Mojo Jojo!" LOL.
