Part of the younger Palpatine's resentment stemmed from his observation of how his father lacked the political savvy necessary to increase House Palpatine to a position of true entitlement and greater wealth. Much to his son's disgust, Cosinga believed he already had all the power and influence that could be obtained.
He is the patriarch of the royal House Palpatine and the father of the future Emperor Palpatine. An abusive narcissist, he played a part in shaping his son into who the latter he would become.
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.
For the record, Palpatine was a troublemaker in school and killed two pedestrians with a speeder, showing no remorse at all which indicated that he was already evil even before he met Darth Plagueis.
If Rey struck him down, Palpatine's spirit would pass into her, allowing the Sith to be reborn. Rey resisted him with the help of Ben, who'd returned to the light. But their defiance gave Sidious a new opportunity – he would drain the energy of their Force dyad to restore his own body, then rule alone.
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.
Vitiate is one of the most powerful and dangerous Sith Lords to ever live, he consumed the life-force of about eight thousand Sith Lords and a entire planet, with a complex and powerful Sith ritual. Excluding Palpatine and Darth Vader, who was the most evil villain in the Star Wars universe? Bossk.
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.
His connection to the Light Side was too strong, and indeed, his willingness to follow it over the dictates of the Council made him far more dangerous to Darth Sidious' plans.
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.
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.
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.
Yoda knew and probaly told Obi-Wan. Darth Vader knew and possibly Thrawn if the book Outbound Flight is cannon. Also Tarkin might of known since he was friends with Palpatine before he became Emperor. Darth Plagueis.
Did Palpatine let Mace Windu win? Yes. This is going to be unpopular, however, it's fairly clear from various sources, including Lucas himself, that Palpatine did let Mace Windu win.
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.
While Darth Sidious mastered the Dark Side and ruled over an Empire for two decades, Vitiate (or Valkorion) went even further, rebuilding the Sith Empire and ruling over it for a hundred years while he embodied the Dark Side to be perhaps the most powerful and evil being in the galaxy's history.
if you mean: 'more evil,' then I would say Palpatine. He tortured a child who was trying to protect his father, and he didn't even blink in hesitation, in fact, he actually seemed to enjoy himself.
Palpatine was the man whose manipulations led to the downfall of the Jedi Order. He betrayed every ally without a qualm, seeing others as tools and then discarding them without a second thought. He even managed to conquer death itself, proving himself the ultimate Star Wars villain.
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.
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.
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.
