Also messing around with Dooku, the slight detour with Maul on Mandalor, whatever his deal with Ezra was, lil’ more fuckin’.

In the olden days, there’s also be some messing with Xizor, as explained here:

It’s more a joke how the old EU gave him a bunch of rumored relationships that may have lead to Triclops and Lightsaber Knees/Elbows Guy, and possibly a few others here and there. Also it’s fun to say Sheev fucks.

Pretty much, dude set up two halves of the galaxy to crash into each other while being in charge of both, the whole point was that no matter who won he'd end up in charge and the jedi would be decimated from a war where he literally had both armies manufactured.

And the whole point of tempting luke was to trade his old and busted skywalker in for the fresh new model

He originally wanted to have luke killed because he seemed like a threat, and then Vader convinced him that he could be an asset if turned to the dark side. So palpy was like "hmm, train your replacement on the job, yes I could work with that..." and then like a boss, made it seem like it was his idea.

Actually I don't even think there even is a "dark side" of the force, that's just something palpatine came up with to get his underlings to do his bidding. Like a "core corporate values" thing.

Lets not forget that part of his plan from Phantom Menace, which goes on the list somewhere after Get Posse:

- Rely on the Jedi to coincidentally meet a Cartoon Rabbit
- Get the Queen elected to Senator once she stops being My Home Planet's Elected Queen.
- Rely on Queen Senator to decide to go Do Something About All These Shenanigans rather than doing her job at the senate.
- Cartoon Rabbit uses Queen Senator's authority in absentia to declare a vote of no confidence against the other guy, allowing me to ascend to the chancellorship.

I wonder if Palpatine voted for the child to be queen as part of his plan to destabilize Naboo, but also it's a popular vote so he only pushed it like 1/100,000,000ths of a way there

alright, so the death star at least in the new canon was supposed to be his big nuke button so he could go fully graveyard smash openly. its why he gets rid of the senate and all the vestigial poo poo right around new hope because he doesnt think he needs it around anymore. idk

Not hired, grew him in a tube using Baby Yoda blood and then just had him running around out there loving with the Skywalker family for no reason and amassing a massive army-cult to act as a heat shield while Sheev waited for all his Exegol Star Destroyers to finish cooking or whatever.

Palpy is a master of spinning plates, dropping like 3/4s of them, and doing it in such a way that you applaud because it looked like he meant to do that all along.

I didn't know about the grown in a tube from baby Yoda blood thing, but ostensibly he would have had to interview for the position. Unless it was straight up nepotism.

Yeah, season 2 of The Mandalorian makes a big deal out of Moff Gideon wanting to hoover up all of Baby Yoda's midichlorians for some Secret Evil Purpose related to the future of the Empire, and then Mando and his crew stumble upon some hosed up looking guy in a tube while Snoke's theme plays over it and a hologram of the the shifty clone doctor who's been popping up every now and then literally goes "Yeah, so this one was a miserable failure, I need more Baby Force blood to get the next one right."

They're being HELLA unsubtle about it.
