  Palpatine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palpatine was originally an ambitious Senator in the Galactic Senate, when the blockade of his homeworld Naboo by the Trade Federation provided a springboard for him to become Supreme Chancellor and head of state of the Galactic Republic.
Palpatine did not, and needed not, reveal his identity as a Sith Lord to the Senate or public, for he was the beloved ruler and savior of the galaxy by then.
Palpatine lost control of the terrifying Force storm he had conjured to destroy the Alliance fleet aboard his flagship Eclipse, and was consumed by its energies along with the Eclipse.

 Emperor Palpatine-A Star Wars Page
Both the middle aged Palpatine and the elderly Emperor Palpatine are played by actor Ian McDiarmid, although the holographic image of the Emperor that briefly appeared in The Empire Strikes Back was played by an unnamed actor (a woman with the composite image of a lemur for the eyes) and was voiced by Clive Revill.
Much of what Palpatine did can be explained via this theory; the construction of both death stars was meant to be instruments for Palpatine to institute his final plan, also the seemingly needless destruction of the planet Alderaan could have been ordered by Palpatine in order to satisfy his impatient and limitless bloodlust.
Palpatine's obsession with the completion of the second Death Star can be shown in Return of the Jedi when Moff Jejerrod says "But he (Emperor Palpatine) asks the impossible, I need more men".

Emperor Palpatine was widely believed to be the second President of the United States after the Nike Revolution of 2006, being elected in 2016 after the failed two-term administration of his Sith Apprentice, Darth Hussein.
In fact, Emperor Palpatine was a hoax, created to distract the Americans from the true President, Darth Hussein, who didn't want to admit the fact that he was a self-educated Dark Lord of the Sith.
Emperor Palpatine was generally very evil, even more evil than some guy who was pretty evil.

 Emperor Palpatine vs. Q @ WWWF Grudge Match
Palpatine wins easily.....This is a guy who managed to carve out a star empire even though his armies were made up of Stormtroopers.....Anyone who can take over a Galaxy with guys that lose to teddybears has to have something going for him.
Palpatine, on the other hand, is an old prune who can only launch a bunch of wussy lightning bolts from his hands that couldn't fry Luke after five minutes of concentrated fire.
Emperor Palpatine vs. Q, therefore, is a conflict as basic to Western Civilization as Ebenezer Scrooge vs. the Spirits of Christmas' Past, Present, and Future.

He declared himself Emperor of the galaxy, and used the dark side of the force as a means to enforce his tyranny.
Of course, Palpatine's possession of it would be symbolic and the tearing down of the statue of him holding the orb would be even more symbolic.
More of the rumor suggests Palpatine will not be called by that name until he turns to the Dark Side of the Force and he will be a young, attractive man before the effects of the Dark Side destroy his looks along with his soul.

 Star Wars - Emperor Palpatine - all to Star Wars with Pictures, Facts and Downloads
However, when Palpatine achieved leadership of the Galactic Senate, his true nature as a power-hungry tyrant became apparent as he introduced the New Order and declared himself Emperor.
Lord Vader observed to his Emperor that if Skywalker could be turned to the dark side of the Force, "he would become a powerful ally." And so the Emperor plots to deal with this young Skywalker: he will join the New Order, or he will die.
Pitting Vader against Skywalker, with all their psychological threats for each other, is all part of the Emperor's plan, and he remains evilly confident that no matter who is killed, he will settle the balance of the Force to his satisfaction.

 Emperor Palpatine
How the Emperor gained mastery of the dark side of the Force remains a mystery, but it was through his influence that Obi-Wan 's apprentice later became the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.
or a time, the Emperor believed that nothing could seriously threaten his rule: his old enemy, Mon Mothma, was clever and strong, and the Rebel Alliance was growing, but without the Force, neither could ever become a serious threat.
From its viewports, Palpatine has a clear view of what he expects to be a rout of the Rebel forces and an end to the Rebellion itself.

I was reading the chronology of the Star Wars universe and about 7 years after his first death Palpatine comes back to try to ruin the new Republic led by Mon Mothma as a clone.
My question is, with all of these clones and everything, is Palpatine's spirit dead or will it live on for eternity just waiting for another time to strike.
Palpatine's spirit becomes pure energy as it launches itself at Leia and Anakin, much to Han's surprise and terror.

 Emperor's new role: McDiarmid looms large in 'Star Wars' finale   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
It was the early '80s and the Scottish stage actor had just finished a Sam Shepard play when he received a phone call.
McDiarmid would play Chancellor Palpatine in all three prequels - The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, which opened Thursday and links the new trilogy to the original three films: Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Sixteen years later, director George Lucas brought McDiarmid back to play the emperor as a younger man - known as Chancellor Palpatine - in three Star Wars prequels: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

 KMC Forums - The Jedi serve 'Emperor' Palpatine for some time
The Jedi believe Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, even when he declares martial law, is doing what's best for the Republic.
So I don't think it's the title of 'EMPEROR' that alarms the Jedi, as much as the Emperor's 'actions' - when the Jedi atlast realize the full scope of Palpatine's plot and discover he is a Sith lord.
I agree, Emperor is a title that is not that different then king and some of the planets have kings and queens like on Naboo.

 Emperor Palpatine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
The Emperor Palpatine, perhaps the greatest tyrant the galaxy has ever known, started his career as a modest and unassuming senator in the Galactic Senate.
At first, Senator Palpatine seemed incorruptible, vocal regarding abuses of power, but once he gained leadership of the Senate, he showed his true nature - power-hungry and intolerant.
The Emperor's power is increasing, and his Empire is expanding rapidly, all due to his genius and single-mindedness.

Yesterday, we asked you to cast your vote in the Harriet Miers's Look-a-Like Contest (polls close at noon!), and we indicated a willingness to accept write in vote.
We'll consider doing a run-off between the poll winner and Palpatine if the Emperor's surge continues, though we will refrain from commenting on the aptness of the write-ins otherwise.

 Jedi Council Forums - Mara Jade and Emperor Palpatine
Zahn basically started all this by saying that Mara, the Hand who was hand raised by Palpatine, complete with whistles and hand motions, was not dark.
Mara was not a "dark Jedi", she was not an oreo cookie, dark on the outside, white and pure on the inside.
Mara still speaks with more reverence of Palpatine and her glorious days as the Emperor's Well Pampered Hand speaks volumes of her character, in light of the fact that she know fully how evil he was.

Perhaps it was because Leia, despite not being a fully-trained Jedi, had the strength to not broadcast her labor pains to the whole galaxy as Mara did with Ben, even though Mara was supposedly a Jedi master at the time.
In one version, we're supposed to think Palpatine controlled her completely and made her do his will without regret or question, and that she was not evil because she never felt hate or something like that.
In another version, we're supposed to think she was moral and upstanding and sensitive enough to be upset when innocents were killed on her missions.
