Emperor Palpatine Universal Despot or Self Sacrificing Spiritual Leader

Emperor Palpatine, destroyer of worlds, the downfall of the Senate, the one and the only guy to sign the genocide of the Jedi, and even a bigot. Starting off I will not and cannot explain off the bigot part; I am not a miracle worker.

A lot say he is a villain, one of the worse in centuries. He sits on a throne planning, and scheming for power and when he gets it he still plans and schemes to keep it. I will show you that he was looking in the best interest of the galaxy.

First) Did Vader goes rouge? Was the all out destruction of Alderaan the Emperor’s fault or Vader’s going rouge? The Deathstar is the most perfect weapon out there to keep peace, and supposed to be tested on a moon or a desolate planet (one of these planets might have had bacteria that would of created an pandemic that would of killed millions). Sadly, Vader went rouge, blew up the planet and the Emperor gets the blame.

Second) The Jedi including the great and wonderful Yoda (which so happens sounds like Miss Piggy), could not peer into the future, that the future was cloudy. The Force (there divine creator that binds everything together) chose the Emperor at that time the Senator. When Senator Palpatine becomes the emperor that is divine willing. When the Jedi try to fight against the Emperor in the beginning (not at the end) this is against their divinity their own creator.

Third) The prophecy is the backbone of the Star Wars collection. The wanted the prophecy to be fulfilled. There ignorance and there oppression of the Sith, defaming their name as the “Dark” side led the Jedi into have a not deserved confidence that the prophecy was to propel them, to make them more powerful, so they can continue to strong the civilians of the Republic and the Sith. A clear-minded thinker (like my self) has to point out that what does it mean to bring balance.

There are two ways looking at it, just strictly by the numbers. There were more Jedi than the Sith, so there needed to be a way to neutralize the Jedi. Second, maybe with in the Jedi, they have lost there way, their own corruption there own lost of there innocence needed to be dealt with. By neutralizing the force, and bringing in new blood (Luke Skywalker) to train young Jedi. Either way the corruption of the old guard Jedi will be wiped out creating balance once again in the force.

When the Emperor grasped the reigns of power, it was just he and Darth Vader, making the Force even, what the prophecy demanded. Emperor was ticked off; mad, because of the Jedi defaming his religion. The Emperor was in his divine right, by actually coming up with the correct interpretation of the holy texts. The Emperor might have had to do some evil deeds, but it was for the greater good, as one of the more believed political philosophy books, The Prince, would point out. Emperor made it so the young blood of Luke and Leia would take over creating a foundation for a stronger and better Republic for the future, so we today can hear the histories from a galaxy far away.
