The Villians of Star Wars make the best movie villians.

I would say Sidious was the greatest movie villian (if not greatest villian in movies, books, games, whatever) of all time. He planned everything

1.) The Clone War
2.) Death of Dooku
3.) Turning of Anakin
4.) Making the Galactic Empire
5.) Killing off the Jedi

He had this planned before The Phantom Meance ever happened.

I say... LUKE WAS THE BEST VILLAIN CUZ OF HIS HAXXORS!!! *inhales from marker deeply*

Not to mention Sidious trained two of the coolest villians ever as his apprentices, Darth Maul and Darth Vader.

The best villains are also the ones who are the most admired of course...yes Sidious is more evil than Vader...but Vader in general is more admired maybe because he is both heroic and evil at the same time...

Same goes for Hannibal Lector...he is admired for his intelligence and still in general is a good person...like sidious said..."good is a point of view, Anakin!"

Lector sees himself being not evil...but because he is supposed to be the bad guy in the film he is in the same time also the dark hero in the film.

Exactly true, no one sits back and goes Mwahahaha I love being evil. Everyone thinks they are right and doing the right thing. Like Vader in A New Hope, he calls Leia a traitor, in his mind she is evil..... Although I think all parents think their kids are evil 😄

Nah, I still see Palpatine knowing he's evil, and revelling in it.

no...he wanted peace but also power...he saw the Jedi as an obstacle for peace, cause the Jedi would never allow the Sith to rule altho they are both very similar.

I think that is what George Lucas wanted to represent...for example Anakin became evil, but he wasnt born evil...like Hitler or Saddam...Saddam is considered evil and a tyran but I still think he wanted the best for his people from his point of view...same as with Hitler...He thought he could make Europe better if he could make it an empire....He thought was doing good even if it caused war, cause he actually didn't want war.

Palpatine wanted to make the galaxy an empire cause he thought that would bring peace to the galaxy and make it stronger! But he knew that could only be accomplished by war...there are many people who started wars....are they all considered evil...I guess of course most are...altho some follow Bush who also started war but because of a good cause
Well I guess many also thought the same of Palpatine, altho they dont know that he started the war at both sides.

Good thinking

In my view, Palpatine used his guise of a beloved tyrant who wanted only peace through power, as a public cover-up in which he could fulfill his evil dreams.

Saddam may have wanted the best at one point. But in his aging years, I believe that he didn't care about them anymore. He only cared how he could attain power and wealth, even if it meant doing what he's done.

Hitler as you said, really believed he was doing the good thing. But then again, he was a fecalphiliac.

and what evil dreams would that be?
He already had what he wanted...He became the leader of the galaxy and to become that he had to eliminate the Jedi...He said himself that the Jedi could cause a civil war after what happened and he wanted peace...so they had to be killed if peace had to be kept

And civil war is exactly what happened but not by the Jedi but by the Rebellion...If Palpatine wanted to maintain the peace in the galaxy (from his point of view) he had to destroy them too.

I think many like the story that Palpatine is pure evil and he is really evil...but does he think of himself to be evil? Of course he had selfish evil plans in mind....but he thought that it was for a good cause...

I'm not saying he should join "Greenpeace" by now...but he indeed wanted peace, cause he said that in honesty to Anakin. He became honest about his plans after Mace was killed. The destruction of the Jedi...the destruction of the seperatists leaders, reaching peace.

Peace maybe wasn't his first priority...but if wanted to stay a leader he absolutely didn't want war anymore...cause that would only stand in his way to stay a leader.
