And with corruption (an end result of austerity IMO) under the "watchful eye" of the Jedi, so to do hubris and complacency. All of these ingredients being necessary for laying the mushroom field groundwork for demagogues and dictators... Almost like in the politics of our world... Isn't that weird?

“We Sith are an unseen opposition, a phantom menace. Where the Sith once wore armor, we now wear cloaks, but the Force works through us all the more powerfully in our invisibility. For the present, the more covert we remain, the more influence we can have. Our revenge will be achieved not bulky subjugation but by contagion.”

It was when Darth Sidious Palpatine: Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? Anakin: No. Palpatine: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying. Anakin: He could actually... save people from death? Palpatine: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Anakin: What happened to him? Palpatine: He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power...which, eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death... but not himself. Anakin: Is it possible to learn this power? Palpatine: Not from a Jedi.

Some entertaining scenes like the Snoke showdown and the scenes of Exogal but they killed the story. I always wanted more Star Wars but I wanted it from Lucas no one else.

[@vellichor7676]

I wonder sometimes about Palpatine's free time. Did he ever watch the opera for actual enjoyment? What did he do while taking a poo? Did he ever get turned on? What was his favorite food? Did he just stand in the shower for ten minutes scratching himself before beginning to actually wash?

Seeing how the senate truly worked on coursant, Palpatine knew just how corrupt it was and with his political knowledge and guidance from Plagueis he knew he could maneuver and manipulate the political system in the Galaxy with ease, creating opportunities to increase his own power and set the stage for the Jedi orders downfall, after all the Jedi were just as weak as the Senate in his eyes and where the Senate goes the Jedi follow, and thier obedience to the senate would lead to thier ultimate destruction..

Even if the Sith did not exist, the Republic was doomed to fall. All Palpatine did was make sure that it fell at a time and in a direction of his choosing, so that it would suit his designs. Without Palpatine, the Republic would have collapsed into chaos and violence, rather than changing into a powerful Empire. Palpatine destroyed the Jedi order and the Republic, yet ironically, he also saved the galaxy from a long dark age.

[@BabyKobeeee]

It is so ridiculous that neither Yoda or Mace could not sense Sidious...obvious plot convenience

[@karlrovey]

The ability to hide yourself or your nature in the force isn't exactly a secret. The Sith had practiced this ability extensively, with generations of Sith spending time with the Jedi hiding their true natures.

[@nagihangot6133]

Karl Rovey Not just that, but he used Sith Alchemy, perhaps the most creative/dangerous sith power of all. And of which Plageuis was a century-long researcher on.

[@BabyKobeeee]

Yes I obviously know what you guys are talking about. After all, with Plagueis and those before him all hid themselves in the galaxy. But their reasoning behind not thinking it was Palpatine was because “he already ruled the galaxy” (or something like that) -Mace Windu You can hide your energy all you want but that’s not necessarily the only way to be found out. They were already a little suspicious of Palpatine so they get the CHOSEN ONE to spy on him? Like that can’t possibly go wrong. If anything the lack of dark side energy should be more suspicious considering someone powerful enough to be a Sith Lord would likely know EXACTLY how to do such a thing. I’m strictly speaking in the sense that Yoda and Mace could not deduce it was Palpatine any sooner than Anakin literally running to Mace and telling him.

Banes preversion of Revans Rule of Two did not stop the infighting. The Sith still fought each other just they once did, the master ALWAYS fought the apprentice eventually.

[@kevinhansen8211]

They also alienated the Jedi from the people, who were who the Jedi should have been protecting, not the Senate. This loss of focus is which made it easier when the Sith declared the Jedi traitors. I got the feeling that most people looked at the Jedi as conscience that they did not want or need. Look at the looks on the people's faces when Obi Wan cuts Zam Wessel's arm off, and Anakin told them to stay out of "Jedi business" Was it surprising that the people chose to believe the Jedi were criminals?

[@xeganxerxes4319]

The Jedi let their paradise blind them. The rule of two was the sign. And they must have known Maul had a master even if he wasn’t a Sith.

How did the Sith amass so much wealth in the years leading to the downfall of the republic?

[@Burning-Twilight]

Plagueis was a banker prior to recruiting Sidious. He had spent years building up his fortune and rising in the banking clan hierarchy. And of course Sidious himself came from a very wealthy family as well. Their combined wealth made it so they could have nearly anything their hearts desired.

[@nagihangot6133]

Plageuis also meddled in illegal activities, so there was no boundary for the businesses he was in.

[@kamilkrol977]

Well obviously Palpatine was spurred after he offed Plagueis (who died in a silly and unceremonious way). After that in my opinion he was very lucky. The light side of the force seemed to itself betray the Jedi masters who, despite all that training could not use their force to sense Palpatine. And, in my opinion they largely deserved to lose: Ki Adi mundi decisions, Kaminoans plotting to make more, stronger clones just for profit, and Barris Offee AKA naive jedi doing horrible PR nationwide. Jedi mostly contributed to their own failure through fumbling and even the greatest force powers could not help them sense Palpatine's force affinity.
