Has Palpatine planned for every single outcome or had he seen the future? When Tup's inhibitor chip malfunctioned, he never went after Anakin. And since none of the troopers betrayed Anakin during Order 66 and were loyal to him while killing the other Jedi, I wonder if Anakin was exempt from Order 66 because of Palpatine's plans with him? And if Anakin never turned to the Dark Side, would the clones be unable to execute Order 66 on him because of the inhibitor chip's programming? They went after Ahsoka even though she left the Jedi order and they tried to execute Darth Maul despite never being a Jedi and was only a former Sith Lord. So if the inhibitor chip was programmed to make the clones exterminate every Force user except for Sheev Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker, Anakin could easily save a lot of Jedi if he didn't become Darth Vader, so the fact that he was exempt from Order 66 (as shown when Tup ignored Anakin and went after the alien lady) and the way Palpatine was always so many steps ahead makes me think he might be a time traveller.

It seems like he took to heart what happened in TPM, when Padme escaped Naboo and seemingly ruined his plans to get her to sign a treaty to legitimise their occupation. The Federation blockade of Naboo was designed to show how useless Valorum was and get himself nominated as Chancellor, and Palpatine thought Padme signing a treaty was the only way to achieve it. When she left he was so angry that he impulsively sent Maul on a wild goose chase to capture her and return her to Naboo to sign said treaty, which revealed the reborn Sith to the galaxy. Then when that failed, the master improviser Palpatine started to come up with another plan, and realised that if he could show Valorum's incompetence first hand, Padme would motivate the Senate to oust Valorum and issue a vote for a new leader with himself as a strong sympathetic nomination. Ironically, if Palpatine had done nothing after she escaped Naboo, Padme would have come to him on Coruscant anyway and he would have got what he wanted, and the Jedi would have been none the wiser about the reborn Sith in the galaxy. But he learnt from the experience that it's good to have contingency plans, and let others come to him (as Chuchi and the other clones fell right into his palm as did Padme all those years ago).

Tbf there were loads of reasons. - The tarkin doctrine of ruling through fear using the Death Star (which would have worked if Luke didn’t show up) - the Clones were well recognised symbols of the Republic which Palpatine didn’t want - The Empire didn’t need a expensive, well trained army when they weren’t at war, just fighting small insurgencies. If the Tarkin Doctrine had worked there wouldn’t have been the Galactic Civil war to require an elite army - Using Clones from Kamino was a massive risk in terms of sabotage of the cloning facilities. Using recruits from each system doesn’t give the enemies a clear target to go after

Despite being 100% capable of killing everyone in the room to force compliance to his rule, you never see him having to use his powers in public like that. He's managed to gain everything without exposing his real hand.

I've always wanted to see how he manipulated them into either believing whatever cover story was made, or if the truth got out, twisting to still serve him and keep (mostly) everyone on his side. I've always wanted to see the Imperial Senate being manipulated by him like this and I'm so glad we finally got it. Also, if the mention of Stormtroopers gets this kind of music, I'm excited for when we see the first fully-fledged Star Destroyer

This whole scene is an excellent microcosm of the changes and the revelation that this Empire that they're trying to support isn't going to be what they expected. That small bit with Chuchi looking over to Organa in uncertainty says it all. "I did the right thing, didn't I?"

I AM THE SENATE.

It’s not every day The Senate gets to tell a speech to The Senate.

There’s a lot of things I love about this moment. The ominous music that plays during his speech. The details of his yellow eyes and yellowish teeth being visible which was a nice thing to include. The callback to Ep III with the Senate viewed from above. And loved Palpatine here. A cunning Sith Lord like people remembered him as, pulling the strings even after his successes with the Great Jedi Purge, depicting the Jedi as villains who tried to overthrow the Senate, and transition to the Empire. He actually managed to twist the situation to his advantage by “condemning” Rampart for the destruction of Kamino and portraying the clones as soldiers who are no longer able to be trusted with keeping the galaxy safe due to them blindly following orders without any question, and being a hazard to the new Galactic Empire which ultimately leads to him proposing the bill. This is probably my favorite Palpatine moment now. Not only does it show how the transition from clone troopers to stormtroopers begins with the bill, but it also showed Palpatine being a master at manipulation once again.

I know I’ve seen him in Star Wars many times but I got literal chills when I saw him rising from the middle in this episode. The perfect villain, so deceptive!

What a legend, both the actor and the character. The smartest and most manipulative person in all of Star Wars imo. The slow Emperor theme under his speech too, so chilling. Ian Mcdiarmid probably did this is one take and then went about his day, absolutely perfect casting.

I think Palps was delighted by Chuchi's attempt. He loves victories, and there are no victories, if nobody opposes you. It didn't matter if she got the proof or not, Palps was always way ahead. I think he'll keep her around just for the fun of defeating a good person. Unless she gets involved in something larger, like a clone rebelion. Then she's as dead as the younglings.

In a way, this makes you appreciate Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker's final act even more, because it managed to surprise THIS guy, the guy who had a plan for literally everything.

He actually knew for a long time that Anakin's spirit was never fully extinguished and he fully planned on Vader betraying him at some point.

But at the same time, he bragged to Mas Amedda that he was now beyond Vader's reach.

I love Palpatine in the early years of the Empire. He still gives the senators the illusion that they have voices of their own and can affect outcomes even though he is the Emperor. I also love his design in Bad Batch. Its obviously the Clone Wars stylized version of Palpatine but they still managed yo make him recognisable as Ian McDiarmid's live action Palpatine. Albeit with less facial disfigurement.

the sheer audacity of this bastard to say something like that XD

It still shocks me that this horrifying voice comes out of this kind soft spoken man. His normal speaking voice is so different. Amazing voice acting skills from Mr. McDiarmid.

Something just occurred to me about Palpatine’s voice. Here we see quite a strong resemblance to Palpatines speech in revenge of the sith, with the rough and menacing tones. Yet, in the Obi Wan Kenobi show when he talks to Vader he sounds much more like he did in Return of the Jedi when he talked to him, lighter and almost friendlier sounding. And then at the end of Rebels we see him sound like when he was chancellor. I find it so cool that we can see the cunning of Palpatine that he can so easily change between personalities, and the awesome talent of Ian McDiarmid that he can accomplish this subtle yet distinct range after all this time.
