Ian McDiarmid, the actor who plays Palpatine, also argued that Palpatine was more evil than Satan, because Satan, at least, was on the side of good, before his prideful belief that he could be greater than God caused him to be taken down a peg. Palpatine, by contrast, was evil from the beginning.

Palpatine is more like Sauron’s master, Morgoth (aka Melkor from the Silmarillion). Morgoth fought with God (Iluvatar) for control of the universe. Morgoth was cast down to Middle-earth where he took over for hundreds of years. He was a bad dude. He created the Orcs by twisting Elves & mating them with animals! And like Palpatine, no one could ever completely kill Morgoth. His spirit continues until the final conflict of the universe.

Voldemort's problem was that "Spam Crucio and Avada Kedavra" was his answer to everything. Palpatine put on a nice guy act and pretended he was working for the galaxy's good while secretly organising an invasion of his own planet to force Valorum to step down after being unable to stop it so he could become Chancellor, used Dooku and other people's problems with the corrupt Republic to form the Separatists to create a fake threat to justify creating the clones he actually intended to use to kill the Jedi and tricked dumbass Jar Jar into giving him emergency powers then framed the Jedi for trying to overthrow the Republic and used the emergency powers and Mace Windu's attempt to kill him to get sympathy and form the Empire. And only showed his true evil self when he had all the power and didn't have to hide it anymore. Voldemort's "I'm evil and will torture you into insanity then kill you" was unsubtle and was never going to work.

@@tinobemellow Not particularly narcissistic as he does not seem to care much for the emotional input of others. Narcissists also tend to operate with a sense of entitlement and revel in a sense of importance. Palpatine is strictly goal oriented and doesn't seem to care for ego fuel. He does however demonstrate an absolute absence of empathy and regard for other's needs while grooming them by exploiting vulnerabilities with false promises of gain like he did with Anakin. He pays no loyalties to anyone, and everyone is regarded as tools to use for fulfilling a self serving agenda as needed. Primarily political power and use of surrogates he invariably disposes of when he's done using them as seen in this plot to use Anakin and Obi-Wan to kill Dooku. He is tenacious, ruthless, callous, calculated, sadistic, exploitative, materialistic...among other characteristics. The perfect, quintessential dark triad.

Sidious *IS* Ian McDiarmid's own creation. Originally The Emperor in ROTJ was supposed to have an even deeper voice than Vader but Ian thought that he should have a more snivellish voice based on his concept art. And in every single review I have ever seen bashing Rise of Skywalker, they never fail to mention that - even if they did not agree with Palpatine's return - they love McDiarmid's performance... That speaks volumes of his acting ability and his total control of the character.

One part I feel you leave out is just how much Palpatine, enjoys the pursuit of power. Through his sly smiles to himself when no one can see his face, his showmanship while battling Yoda, his cackling glee when showing Maul just how outmatched he was, to taunting underlings to keep them in their place, Palpatine was having a blast. While some villains focus either on the journey or the destination, a certain Sith Lord had his cake and ate it too.

@@891delta This obsession with making multi-dimensional/complex villains is more of a modern phenomenon. Disney is now going back and trying to make heroes/protagonists out of their villains (e.g. Maleficent and Cruella). While occasionally that can work to serve a story, making a villain more of a gray figure than a plainly evil one, it usually subtracts from the villain's purpose, which is just to be dastardly and set up as a roadblock/opponent for the protagonist(s). You're not supposed to be relating to and sympathizing with the villain (usually). Palpatine, IMO, is anything but boring. He is the personification of pure evil, but it's his grand scheme that is his most fascinating aspect. He was truly the devil in the sense of being the puppet master, a skillful manipulator.

The levels to which Sidious rose, thanks to help from Plageuis, over the decades, is nothing short of phenomenal. He seems to have been born a dark side being. He murdered his entire family early in life. His training was purely savage and brutal under his master. The long term planning, and manipulation of vast sectors of planetary populations, the galactic economy, industry, the Order itself, and the Senate, to achieve a conflict he would rise to the top of, no matter who won, is essentially unrivalled in all of cinema, as you say. What is even MORE impressive to me, is that as DEEPLY corrupted as he was, to the core, from the dark side, he he still maintained the correct sensitivity to completely, and convincingly fake his interactions with other beings so well, that he came across as a great human, trying to bring the Republic together. It is extremely hard for any person, who is deeply corrupted, to fool everyone. Usually that depth of extreme pathology distorts a person so terribly, that at least in some ways, to some people who know them, they cannot hide their dark sides. I work in mental health. Such deeply disordered people, at least on the most menial levels can fool many. But not everyone. On the levels of the powerful, they can rise to presidents and premieres, and more. Yet from the books, and the movies, until the moment of his rise, Sidious had EVERYONE fooled, except his very closest companions, who prior to his rise, served him while Plageuis was still alive and already knew him in full. He utterly, and completely avoided scandal at every turn. I cannot see how anyone could have stopped him. He was so adept at using the dark side to hide in complete banality, while manipulating so much, this his rise to Emperor seems all but utterly assured. And even then, he still planned for failure, to still succeed anyways.

Palpatine did adopt the political influence of Plagueis and he also did adopt the great scheme of the sith. Saying all this is Palpatines doing/scheming simply is wrong. I mean he was probably the most important part in a scheme that wasn't even his own. Though most people not familiar with star wars deep lore give credit for Palpatines victory only to Sidious when it's actually a complex centuries old plan made by Darth Bane from which Sidious basically harvested the success by being the final piece.

Also the shift in the force to the dark side on a galactic level was a ritual conducted under Plagueis supervision. It augmented the chance of success of any dark side undertaking. Plus the weakened Jedi order and them being unable to comprehend what is going on. All that very important groundwork is not based on Sidious. Without it it's very unlikely he could have come that far at all.

He was described as looking like a ravening wolf with red his hair wild and wind-swept, his eyes orange-yellow and bloodshot, and his mouth in a snarl and slightly foaming in rage. He capped it off by cleaning himself and decapitating the Senator. Plagueis' personal guards came in afterwards to see he had already done the deed, and were very much unnerved by his presence.

Palpatine was described as such in the Revenge of the Sith Novelisation: "Powered by the dark side, Dooku's perception took the measure of those below him with exhilarating precision. Kenobi was luminous, a transparent being, a window onto a sunlit meadow of the Force. Skywalker was a storm cloud, flickering with dangerous lightning, building the rotation that threatens a tornado.And then there was Palpatine, of course: he was beyond power. He showed nothing of what might be within. Though seen with the eyes of the dark side itself, Palpatine was an event horizon. Beneath his entirely ordinary surface was absolute, perfect nothingness. Darkness beyond darkness.A black hole of the Force." Even to Dooku, a man who believed himself powerful and worthy of note understood that Palpatine was so much more than he was that it was unapproachable. You're right though, what makes Sidious scary is not his UNLIMITED POWAAAAAH but his unwavering devotion to absolute darkness. He is in effect the Dark Side personified.

As said by others... Palpatine is the villain that reflects the biblical Satan the best. Super narcistic, selfish, cruel, manipulative, sadistic, merciless, repentless, a killer, hiding his true personality, even transforming himself into an angel of light to others while being truly evil on the inside, tempter, deceiver and in order to accomplish this all through unimaginable patience and a brilliant masterplan/strategy... hyper intelligent.

Becomes even more fascinating if you take into account the thousand years leading up to his victory. The entire Sith Grand plan is a brilliant idea. It is not like Palpatine had to convince everyone in the galaxy to be evil and corrupt. Human nature mostly takes care of that. They worked in the background to pull strings to make the corruption worse true, but it was not entirely up to him.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Darth Sidious is the best villain in Star Wars and the best villain, in all of cinema history. There is not one redeeming quality about him. He was born from the Darkside of the Force. The Sith that came before him had at least a few redeeming qualities about them. But not Darth Sidious. From murdering his family and siblings to manipulating his master, Darth Plagueis, here’s apprentice Darth Vader, Darth Tyranus,Darth Maul, and Snoke. Manipulating Kylo Ren with voices in his head. Along with instrumenting the creation of the Clone Army, order 66. To his greatest feat of hiding himself from the Jedi in their own Temple. Too, eventually, becoming absolute ruler without one shred of blood being dropped when he came to absolute power. He came to Power after the Clone War ended. The people of the Republic never pushed back when he declared himself Emperor. The whole Senate and galaxy cheered. They were glad. That is absolute power and the perfect politician.

What i like most about sidious is that he serves a higher purpose. He is not just some power hungry dude as he first appears to be. He indeed sticks to his authority and does not allow anyone to mess with it, but he feels like the sith legacy is safe and actually gets very happy when he learns Vader is building his own small power sphere within the galactic empire. He is delighted with his apprentices patient and calculated approach about overthrowing the emperor. What furiates him is when Vader cant direct his anger with control. Sith masters of old appreciate their apprentices slowly yet surely prepearing for the day they will confront their masters but they hate it when their apprentices decide to take over when they are not yet ready. They wish to see that their apprentices are wise enough to understand wether they learnt everything they could from their master before they act. That makes them feel like they can trust their successors to carry the responsibility of keeping sith legacy alive. Darth Bane loses his shit when he thinks his apprentice tried to confront him too early but feels proud when his apprentice actually defeat him years later and claim the title of master. Vader still had demons he fought. Thats why Sidious was angry at Vader most of the time. He wanted to make sure Vader was focused and ready when the time came. That does not make him a good guy in no way tho, but it proves he is not a hypocrite. Consistent ideology and action makes great characters

Seriously, he manufactured a war by arming and organizing two opposing factions behind the scenes which he uses to play both sides against the middle. The entire conflict is just a charade of lies and deceit, both sides unaware that the chancellor is directing the entire show. Then, through more lies and deceit he convinces the people that the Jedi were power hungry terrorists, when the Jedi in reality are the ones defending peace and freedom. Finally, this artificial reality of war and unrest and turmoil eventually scares the people into voluntarily surrendering their freedoms so that they can remain safe in this dangerous time. Imagine if something like that happened in the USA like between 2001 and 2011, that would be WILD. Thankfully this movie is fictional

It is incredibly easy to make completely evil characters into one-dimensional charicatures of real people, but genuine, unapologetic evil does exist, and when this is reflected properly in fiction, I think it provides a safe outlet for people to learn about the true evils of the real world. Compelling characters who are pure evil are difficult for many storytellers do portray well, because most people can't wrap their minds around the absolute depths of wickedness and depravity that people are capable of doing. Palpatine is a perfect example of a character who is as interesting and complex as he is pure evil. He might very well be my favorite villain in all of fiction. Even more relevant is that through the prequels, Lucas gave a warning about how free societies rot from within and are eventually infiltrated, gradually corrupted, taken over and destroyed by evil, corrupt and authoritatian infliences who desire power above all else.

I too am inclined to view Palpatine as the GOAT of cinema villians, but I'm also partial towards "evil mastermind" types. Also HUGE shoutout to Ian McDiarmid (who was a trained Shakespearean actor before joining SW)! Palpatine would have nowhere close to as compelling, enduring, or chilling as he was without his stellar portrayal of the character! Fun Fact: Ian said in an interview that George Lucas originally wanted a more "aristocratic" emperor like Clive Revel's version in the original Empire Strikes Back (ie, the Palpatine voice in hologram sequence). But it was Ian's idea to make the emperor be the embodiment of evil and George was swayed after seeing Ian's efforts at doing so.

I guess there are characters that literally ARE the abyss, as it were, or evil itself, whom I suppose technically qualify, but Morgoth, at least, doesn't really qualify as being more evil. Although I suppose it also depends on how exactly you qualify or quantify evil, because if you look at deeds or feats or such then the task becomes far easier, but I don't really think that's a particularly good way to view it.

In that, he believes and presents himself as a necessary force of primal and natural impulses within the universe and people in general. Those are my favorite bad guys, not the villains who think they are the heroes, but the villains who believe evil is perfectly natural.

By the time the Empire was at its height, I don't think there were many in the galaxy, from his infighting court and the oppressed citizens of the Core Worlds to the crime-ridden Outer Rim, who were benefiting from anything Palpatine was doing. If any worlds were actually benefiting noticably from his reign, they were almost certainly few.
