Did Sidious actually cared for Anakin?

Sidious did care for him that's why he saved him but like Dooku as soon as someone better showed up (Luke) he was trash.

Treachery is the way of the Sith. Sidious didn't really care for anyone. Look, he hated Vader, no doubt about that. He also hated Luke when he refused to turn. One thing I don't think anyone would deny is that Anakin was stronger before his fall than after. We all love Darth Vader, but face the facts. He would have been more powerful as Anakin. Besicdes, i think we've already agreed when he lost limbs, he lost some of his midichlorians

No, he did not care, he used Vader as a pawn for power. But when he discovered Luke, he knew that Vader was so much machine that he is getting weaker and weaker. He probably believed that Luke was going to kill Vader using dark side intentions. But he was wrong. Luke resisted, Yoda warned Luke about that when he had that vision in the cave on Dagobah.

Agreed. Vader came out much less powerful then expected. Luke, with not enough training, soon achieved a great level. He would have become a powerful sith 😄 also leia could be turned if luke was. Then palp would have the TWIN KILLERS hehehehe.

this cant happen...

the rule of 2

Palps would have Leia and Luke fight each other for the role of his apprentice.

Palpatine is only interested in power and the people who can get it for him.
He kept Anakin alive to help him with any remaining problems and as a trophy.

Yes, he does

He didnt care at all about him! It was all for the power, he could see that anakin was powerful and used him until a better one came along (Luke) he told him to kill his own father and plus he ruined his life in revenge of the sith, Palpetine is nothing but evil!

Vader was going to be Sidious' bit on the side, but when Vader lost his wee-wee, Sidious started looking elsewhere, namely his son.

Palpatine's name translated from Latin roughly means "Poedophile".

lol

And Luke would probably win, so Palpatine would be lonely on Saturday nights...

I suppose Sidious did care about Anakin about physical condition. But I think he mainly cares about Anakin's power because Anakin is apparently the most powerful mid-chlorian figure.

Sidious didn't care for him at all imo.
All you need do is look at his smile when vadar is yelling no because he just lost his wife to figure that out.

Let me put it this way, NO!

Oh yes Palpatine the paedophile. That's really mature. I could say 'look at Yoda with the younglings'...oh my. But im not that ridiculous. Get a little bit of maturity. This is about whether Sidious cared for ANaking. Clearly the answer is nay.
Only the Jedi have 'unconditional love'. Oh how sweet. The Sith don't care for anybody. It's like yanking teeth from a child. No he didn't care for Anakin. He was merely an instrument of the dark side.
