Okay, question for the antis: what does Palpatine do that’s outright evil? I’m not defending him, but most of the bad stuff in the movies is other people. Vader kills the Rebels in rogue one, Tarkin orders the Death Star Strikes, the clones carry out order 66, the closest is Palpatine killing Windu, but that’s because Windu attacked him first. In the OT, he doesn’t kill anyone? Vader chose to murder palpatine and died as a result. Palpatine literally kills less people than Vader
Order 66. Ordering mass slaughter of Jedi and Jedi temple. Planning the creation of TWO deathstars. Empire built on oppression, slavery and mass murder. I mean honestly…
Kidnaps and/or takes one little boy and systemically turns him into a tool and a weapon, abusing the ever loving fuck out of him in almost every way he can. Grooms the hell out of another little boy, twisting his perceptions, until he can be emotionally blackmailed in adulthood. LITERALLY PULLS ALL THE STRINGS OF ALL THE PLAYERS ACROSS THE BOARD TO CAUSE MASS MISERY AND SUFFERING.
Do people not understand how tyrants and dictators work? Like.. you can be responsible for death and suffering without actually pulling the trigger..
