Palpatine issues Order 66, commanding the clone troopers to turn on their Jedi generals, while dispatching Vader to kill everyone inside the Jedi Temple and then murder the Separatist leaders on the planet Mustafar. Palpatine then reorganizes the Republic into the Galactic Empire, with himself as Emperor.
Ultimately, the younger Palpatine took his father's life in an act of rage in 65 BBY, using the dark side of the Force to kill him along with his mother, his siblings, and several of the family's bodyguards.
However, the film itself doesn't imply this at all, so Palpatine still counts as Pure Evil, especially because his own actor stated to summarize why he is doing many of his actions; Ian McDiarmid said that everything he does is out of pure hypocrisy.

What was the worst thing Palpatine did?
As the ultimate villain of every Star Wars trilogy, Palpatine has hundreds of atrocities to his name. His plots and machinations toppled the Republic, ended the Jedi, and threatened to drown the stars in fire and blood unless the entire galaxy submitted to an eternal Sith Empire.
From the moment Palpatine began to plot his takeover, nothing he did was out of the goodness of his heart. Everything would transpire in a way that would give him power, and any niceties were a way to fool his enemies into underestimating him.
A Sith Lord with the ability to cheat death and create life, Plagueis is the enigmatic mentor of Sheev Palpatine / Darth Sidious, who, in accordance to the Sith's Rule of Two, eventually betrays Plagueis by murdering him in his sleep, taking his place as Sith Master.
Rumor had it that his mother was Palpatine's Umbaran aide Sly Moore, who had impregnated herself using DNA from an undisclosed source. Regardless of the veracity of that report, Triclops was regarded as the true son of Palpatine, both by himself and the few high-ranking officials who were aware of his existence.
Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than the likes of Yoda and Mace Windu, Palpatine feared him more. In the simplest terms, he was a wild card, and with the Sidious executing an intricate decades-long plan to seize power and destroy the Jedi, a wild card was something he just couldn't afford.
Despite being enemies, Rey and Kylo Ren share a connection called a 'Force dyad' and eventually become romantically involved with one another. Following Palpatine's final defeat and her own resurrection, Rey adopts the name Rey Skywalker to honor her mentors and their family legacy and renounce her lineage.
Years after his death, during her duel with Jacen Solo, Lumiya alluded to Palpatine, saying he was a "psychopath consumed by power.". Palpatine's manipulative behaviour cannot be exaggerated as he manipulated the entire galaxy into doing his bidding.
She replies, "Myself," to which Luke says, "Because you're a Palpatine. Leia knew it, too" This realization takes Rey by surprise, as there had been few hints about her heritage up to that point.
Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo. A Force-sensitive Hysalrian, N'Kata Del Gormo was trained in the ways of the Force and achieved the rank of Master within the Jedi Order.
Palpatine, motivated by pride and a desire to see his homeworld become a part of the greater galaxy, sought to quietly undermine his father's political agenda during the 65 BBY election season. More importantly, however, it was the rift with his father that indirectly led to his future as a Sith.
As the Death Star had been destroyed, and the Battle of Yavin had finally taken place, the years then moved into ABY (After the Battle of Yavin). It's said that Star Wars: Return of the Jedi takes place during 4 ABY, meaning Palpatine was 88 when he met his original end.
Although Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker concludes with Rey choosing the name of Skywalker and completing her path to becoming a Jedi, it's possible that she was actually the reincarnation of Anakin all along.
Theory: Snoke is technically Rey's uncle | Fandom. It's a strange thought but when you look at Palpatines clone family in Star Wars Canon it sounds more plausible than at first. Palpatines "Son" was a strandcast clone of Palpatine and yet because he fathered Rey he is still considered the son of the emperor.
And his body was too messed up and unnatural to reproduce. So he went with the cloning, gene-splicing route. However Palpatine's cloned bodies could not bear his malevolent spirit, without them decaying. He eventually would have a “son”.
Qui-Gon Jinn learned to manifest as a Force ghost after death, thus allowing him to retain his consciousness in the Force. Several other Jedi also achieved the same ability, most notably Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and the redeemed Anakin Skywalker.
However, given that this confirmation was never made into the movie, nor was it ever revisited, the idea that Darth Plagueis created Anakin remains just a theory. The same applies to whether Palpatine created Anakin, which has never been confirmed by the Star Wars canon.
Moreover, throughout the duel, Yoda continually adapts to and even matches Palpatine - forcing his enemy to constantly attempt new tactics. Palpatine clearly hated Master Yoda with a fierce passion, but he was under no illusions that the Grand Master would be easy to defeat.
Summary. Palpatine's true source of power comes from his intense hatred for everyone in the galaxy, which only fuels his strength. Not only that, but the more people hate Palpatine, the stronger he becomes as well, making inspiring hatred a crucial part of increasing his strength.
